Hello everyone!
I'm Giorgio, content marketer @ Polemos.io, and I'd like to steal a minute of your time to introduce Polemos to you. We're deeply involved in blockchain and NFT-related topics, and would love to join in discussions on Ecency and the overall Hive ecosystem.
Polemos’ overarching vision is to improve employment and education throughout the world by developing a global GameFi platform that builds investment and wealth in NFT games and other relevant blockchain technologies. A large focus in that regard will be on esports and competitive play in general.
Our Mission
The mission is to become one of the world’s leading decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO), onboarding as many people as possible into the Metaverse, and bringing tens of millions of global digital Asset Providers and Gamers together inside a unified GameFi ecosystem.
Polemos was founded on a fervent belief that the gaming industry is racing towards one of the biggest revolutions in its history.
The DeFi Summer of 2020 demonstrated the incredible potential of decentralized finance to revolutionize the existing system into one that is innovative, interoperable, borderless, and transparent. While streaming and esports have already dramatically increased in popularity over the last few years, the Polemos co-founders strongly believe that neither esports nor gaming have come close to the peak of their potential yet.
Instead, it will be the continued marriage of esports / gaming and DeFi that will truly revolutionize gaming for billions around the world, and the integration of NFTs (non-fungible tokens) to create Play-To-Earn opportunities is going to be at the forefront of this movement.
The Future of NFTs in Gaming
Leading companies such as Electronic Arts, Epic Games, Square Enix, and Ubisoft are already embracing NFT games as part of the future, and Polemos believes that NFTs will completely transform gaming and esports in coming years, catapulting related content well beyond the viewership of any traditional sport or other form of digital entertainment.
By capitalizing on a plethora of early adopter opportunities and using some of its profits to speed up Metaverse adoption, Polemos intends to become a major player in this revolution.
Betting on Polemos means betting on the future of gaming through Play-To-Earn and esports while joining the Polemos community is also a vote for improving the wealth, education, and development of the world considering that 1% of all DAO revenue is directed towards a philanthropic foundation.
Polemos' Involvements
Polemos already boasts a 5k+ members discord channel, has a following of 3k+ on Twitter and recently surpassed 1,300 subscribers to the newsletter.
In addition to our great community, Polemos secured a $2m funding round$2m funding round and invested a conspicuous amount into scaling the team, with 9 new hires in the month of February alone, and buying assets in new games to provide scholarships in the near future.
As of now, our main involvements are in:
- Illuvium, the upcoming AAA, open-world game with a full in-game economy sustained by its players;
- Fancy Birds, a flappy bird clone using NFTs to set the background, bird quality, and internal cryptocurrency that also serves as governance token;
- Legends of Venari, a playable RPG game with outstanding graphic art;
- Galaxy Fight Club, the first cross-chain game that adds utility to most NFT collections, by allowing their characters to spawn into the game, a brawl stars replica, and have fun winning tournaments with great prizes;
- Monkey League, a football game with monkeys as NFTs, the team is showing great progress so far.
We're working to build a sustainable economy for our ecosystem, and the games we partner with do the same. We're sure our mission will yield positive outcomes for our players, and we can't wait to have you onboard.
Conclusions
I've been blogging on Hive.blog and Peakd, and Steemit before that, since the beginning, and I've always found these communities fascinating. Especially in these uncertain times, decentralised social networks are giving users an opportunity to speak up.
The team and I are heartbroken after hearing the news, and reading the stories, of Ukrainian people suffering immensely from this unprovoked invasion. Some of the developers of the abovementioned games are in Ukraine, and are sending us updates regularly.
Our hearts are with all the people drawn into a conflict they never wanted, from both sides, and in the meantime I'm really happy to see platforms based on blockchain not censoring content and allowing people to earn something more - they really do need it more than ever now.
