Introducing Metabase: Path to Mass Blockchain Adoption

in #metabase3 years ago

Up to now, cryptocurrency exchanges have been the only way to drive the adoption of blockchain in Indonesia . However, this only works for those who have capital to invest, and the reality is that the majority of people in developing countries don’t have this luxury.

Metabase is an app that empowers players and investors to participate in the play-to-earn gaming industry. Metabase allows anyone to start playing multiple blockchain games for free by renting assets from Guilds, track their performance daily and off-ramp their earnings into fiat currency. In addition, anyone with capital to invest in NFTs can lend their assets to players and generate passive income by forming their own Guild.

Since the inception of Metabase, we have always firmly believed that the path to mass blockchain adoption lies at the intersection of gaming and off-ramp services. We are reducing the friction of non-blockchain users to acces

, by eliminating their interaction with cryptocurrency wallets through the usage of our off-ramp services.

Our proprietary off-ramp services enable players to seamlessly convert their tokens into fiat currency. Indonesia is our initial market and we will allow token conversions to Indonesian Rupiah, Indonesian licensed e-wallet credits (such as OVO, Gopay, Dana, LinkAja, etc.), shopping vouchers and utility bill payments. As we scale, we will be partnering with more and more off-ramp services all around the world.

Indonesia — One of World’s Biggest Gaming Hub

Indonesia is the largest archipelago in the world, sitting at the fourth most populous country. According to Newzoo (2021), Indonesia falls under the 20 largest gaming markets in the world and the largest in Southeast Asia. At the end of 2021, the market size of the gaming industry in Indonesia accounted for 1.92 billion USD.

Approximately 79% of the Indonesian population play games and half of them play on a daily basis. In addition, despite the fact that Indonesia’s official language is Indonesian, more than 75 million people speak Javanese language on a daily basis and it is used on the radio and as the language of instruction in some schools.

We have carefully handpicked four blockchain gaming enthusiasts in Indonesia as our local community managers, spread across prominents areas: Ado Davin in Solo, Kevin Siddharta in Surabaya, Goklas Miracle in Bandar Lampung and Wahyu Rizkyawan in Malang. Each of our community managers have been actively reaching out to their friends, families and community to explain about how they can start earning money from blockchain games — reaching out to more than 1,200 within a couple of weeks.

Using the Metabase app, players all around the world will be able to play multiple blockchain games for free and earn money; turning their pastime activity into productive time. Blockchain games currently represent a paradigm shift, and will enable anyone with passion in playing games to put food on the table for their families.

Aside from the players, we are also on the ground in Indonesia working with the local cryptocurrency exchanges, regulators and advisors to explore opportunities to empower millions of Indonesians with financial services.
