Yumerium decentralized platform for gamers

The game industry is a multi-billion-dollar market, with more and more game developers coming from many countries, even independent ones, that make games in demand. The digital distribution of games is developing, when the user prefers to buy the game on the Internet and just download it from the server to your device, and not to buy it on a physical medium, which can deteriorate. For example, according to the latest statistics provided by Valve, the number of new buyers of games in the digital distribution service Steam games in January 2016 was 27 million people. Steam is still the most popular gaming platform, with approximately 125 million registered accounts. In 2016, the gaming industry market grew by 8.5% to $99.9 billion, with 40% of this amount ($36.9 billion) being mobile applications. In the future, by 2019, according to experts, the capitalization of the gaming market will grow by 6.6% to $118.6 billion.

These figures are impressive, so the developers of Yumerium chose to implement its decentralized open platform game. They believe that the introduction of blockchain technology will contribute to the more fruitful development of the gaming industry.

Yumerium is a modern platform that is based on blockchain technology. The aim of this project is to make the interaction between the players developers to a new level through the introduction of monetization and smart contracts. It is always ordinary players who are the source of promotion of any game, they create an information background, they publish comments, reviews, reviews about games.

The usual model of monetization requires that the player must pay the Creator of the game money for the game itself, then for the additions, for in-game items in the form of skins for weapons, clothes and more. Yumerium also offers a completely new way to distribute game content, quite modern and advanced. Now players will be able to play for free, and even for the game to receive a reward in the form of YUM tokens. As a result, the era of endless sucking money out of the pockets of ordinary players can be a thing of the past, even if you have to pay for the game, the cost of it can be repelled just by playing it, doing its promotion and writing reviews about it. Now all the usual actions in the life of an Amateur games will be paid. Sounds good, especially for people with low income who can't buy modern games and have to download pirated copies. As a result, the platform creates a powerful system of motivating users to use licensed content and to enter their favorite games more often.

YUM tokens are the main currency for transactions, in the future it is planned to add support for BTC and ETH. Currency transactions on the platform are carried out instantly, safely, directly without intermediaries and with minimal fees. For this purpose, a decentralized payment gateway has been created.

The Yumerium ecosystem seeks to use the idea of full monetization, so it offers three main directions for the implementation of its YUM token application.

Users will be able to purchase games, game items and earn yum tokens, which are paid for by developers from a special seed Fund, which is created when a new game is added to the Yumerium platform. Due to this, there is the attraction of new players.
Economy of the gaming community with the reward for publishing, view content about the game (trailers, screenshots), share experiences about the time spent in the game. So the developers will motivate players for an active role in the online community from a special marketing Fund.
Use YUM to Fund your favorite games in the form of crowdfunding. If the fundraising program is successful, companies will have access to a marketing Fund to start the game. It will be a kind of Kickstarter analog.
