It’s no secret that computer games have become part of our day to day lives. Having a little escape out of the quotidian where you could slay dragons or become an F1 pilot, is sometimes, exactly what we need. Whether you like playing on your PC or mobile device, a new era of gaming payment models must rise.
Nowadays, you can’t just expect someone to pay for your game upfront without knowing beforehand if they like it. Yumerium proposes a total revamp of the industry where their users will be rewarded to use their platform!
Get paid to play games (for real this time!)
The ambitious team over at Yumerium plan to release a decentralized gaming platform where the play is incentivized by the YUM token, an actual store of value. Developers get tokens for releasing their game on the platform; reviewers get tokens for quality curating of the content available on the platform, and gamers get directly incentivized to play the games.
Putting games on the blockchain!
The entire ecosystem is based on the distributed ledger architecture with no single point of failure. By using this, this approach significant running costs can be drastically reduced. Big player companies like Steam or Origin spend heaps of cash to ensure their safety, using blockchain gives Yumerium an unmatched level of trust and security with lightning fast system processing times.
Quality game curation into the spotlight
It’s no secret that the actual gamers play a significant role in the gaming industry. In fact, studies show that over 90% of the players play games that were recommended by people they trust or reliable online consumer opinions. The role of the influencers is critical as it can make or break a game right at the start. Currently, platforms like Twitch or Youtube are the go-to places for this kind of content. Yumerium, however, plans to make this critical category an integral part of their platform, thus closing the feedback loop on the entire development cycle.
The initial “Seeding Fund” for game developers
So you have a game, and you want to join the blockchain gaming revolution, good! Yumerium will offer you an initial “Seeding Fund” in the form of YUM tokens that you can use as you see fit to promote your game on the platform. Implementing a bounty campaign, enabling referral bonus or merely implementing modules in your playthrough which users can earn the tokens are just some of the methods available on the platform. Mostly, your players will receive YUM tokens, one way or another!
The token sale event
Getting at the ground zero of this platform might prove to be crucial for your game, so don’t miss the public token Presale that takes place between the 22nd of April and May 12th, 2018. The price of 1 YUM token is set at 0.1 USD with a hard cap set at 500 million. Users who decide to participate in the presale event will receive a 30% discount on their purchases.
