Abstract;
It all began with Bitcoin, the first cryptocurrency and the asset that began the new revolution.
Next came Ethereum, an alternative cryptocurrency that possessed decentralized properties similar to Bitcoin in background components but the Ethereum platform enabled smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps) to be built and run without any downtime, fraud, control, or interference from a third party.
Some of the earliest creations that were built on the Ethereum Blockchain were "Crypto punks and Crypto kitties".
This started an amazing new wave in the crypto-sphere;
1). NFTs,
2). Blockchain gaming, and
3). NFT marketplaces.
So what are NFTs?:
A non-fungible token is a unique non-interchangeable unit of data stored on a blockchain, a form of digital ledger. Types of NFT data units may be associated with digital files such as photos, videos, and audio.
What makes NFTs interesting is the more developed the space has experienced in the years since 2017.
Blockchain gaming;
In 2018 the A Blockchain game was made and it was called; "Axie infinity", it came after the creation of the first-ever Blockchain game"Crypto kitties".
Though it was possible to trade pets and nurture them till they grew, it seemed like it still lacked some needed components, this was what made the NFT marketplace possible.
Axie Infinity discovered and presented the very first play-to-earn game.
NFT Marketplace;
It serves as a medium where digital (NFTs) or Blockchain transactions take place, It's also defined as a gateway for participating in the purchase and sale of digital assets.
Subsequently, terms like GameFi came into prominence and users have developed ways you can earn passively by staking your NFTs.
Since the inception of the Marketplace, developers have been massively outdoing themselves and creating more immersive Blockchain gaming platforms called: the Metaverse.
Introducing the Metaverse;
The metaverse is a network that is originally focused on social purposes but with blockchain technology in the mix, it has grown to show its immense potential in the financial aspects too,
This has brought the creation of the term “socialFi” which has also been a contributor to the driving of P2E games.
What does the Metaverse offer?:
Decentralization:
In the blockchain, decentralization has been one of the key standards of cryptocurrency, this has been so because for actual Decentralization to happen the power is to the community and not a central authority.
Governance:
Also known as DAO ( Decentralized Autonomous Organizations).
This gives users the power to make decisions on an asset’s value either through voting or updates.
Provenance:
These are basic commands or codings put in place to help verify and confirm a user’s ownership of an asset e.g an NFT.
Real-world value:
Just like Bitcoin’s real-world value has increased, the same can be said about assets that are utilized on the Metaverse which are traded either p2p or through DEXs.
Gaming in the Metaverse;
First were VR games, immersive, entertaining, and engaging. This was probably the little we knew about the metaverse at the time, now there are platforms and even organizations building on the metaverse; an example of this is Walmart and Mark’s Meta platform.
These platforms have been able to create a deeper outlook of what the metaverse is, A perfect example of this is the game Survive
What is Survive?:
Survive is a play-to-earn game built on the Binance smart chain, Immersive as expected or built on the Metaverse, the Survive game is also free-to-play and is designed with a focus on fair, competitive play.
The Vision of the creators was to create something much more different to the common pixelated Minecraft-looking games, "Different and Unique" being the keywords here, the team created a game that is played and owned by any and everyone.
Features;
Free-to-play & Play-to-earn.
Game economy
Digital Ownership
Metaverse
Build your squad
Continual update
Augmented reality
Looking at the gaming features listed above, we would see that we have discussed some of these features earlier.
Random thought: Metaverse games are currently the craze now, but when you actually look at it you will understand that the gaming industry has actually been a profitable market, this is because there's a relatable fascination about one/user living in their own perfect world.
So let's talk and familiarize ourselves with the...
Gameplay;
The Survive Metaverse has 2 Areas and 3 gameplay.
Areas-
The Metacity.
No-Go Area.
Gameplays
Gameplay 1: Metaverse
This is for the people who'd like to build from the ground up, these players can create their own squad by interacting with friends and other gamers.
To be able to earn rewards, you and your time are required to rise through the ranks and complete quests.
Gameplay 2: Battle mode
Player-versus-player (PvP) mode is available for up to the top 100 players, allowing them to play alone, in a duo, or in a squad.
It's sorta like a battle royale gameplay where only a single participant is the winner.
All players need to invest a small amount of $SURV token, and the winner takes all + rewards.
Gameplay 3: Zombie mode
The SURVIVOR is in the No-Go Area, a town full of infected persons (zombies). The player needs to survive and kill all zombies to get rewarded in $SURV tokens.
Tokenomics;
The Survive ecosystem will consist of the following components;
Surv tokens; Being the native token of the gaming ecosystem, the developers plan to make this solely grow and drive the economy of the Survive Metaverse.
NFTs; There are going to be 9999 unique SURVIVORS NFTs, They're going to be the characters of the game (This may be on an FCFS basis).
The NFTs will also grant access to upper echelon type accesses (#DYOR).
In-game rewards; 50% reserve for P2E reward pool
Private sale; 12.5% allocation for private sale (only for $NFTG holders)
The Team; 6.25% of tokens have been allocated to the SURVIVE team. The tokens will be distributed with a vesting plan of one year.
LPs; 15% will be provided to the liquidity pool, which will ensure a safe and healthy project.
Token Burn; 10% will be burned to maintain the long-term value of the $SURV token supply.
Advisors; 6.25% are going to advisors for supporting and advising of their experience.
Survive Meta: Whitepaper
Taxes;
14% on buying and selling transactions.
Market Value.
Strategic buybacks.
Liquidity pools.
Rewards in $Surv token to all holders.
My 2 cents;
Q1. On Survive's Ecosystem; The Survive gaming ecosystem plans to stay decentralized unlike most projects that are "Semi-decentralized".
Q2. On Gameplay; Will definitely be interesting 'cos I damn well would love to shoot some Zombies.
Q3. Will it be Long-term?; I'll answer this in a few points:
1). Firstly the Survive game is being audited by Certik.
2). An ecosystem that is constantly updated.
3). Survey just completed public-sale.
Q4. Generally; I think it'll be worth it, being someone who's mostly on his mobile phone I'll definitely love to be able to access it from my cellphone.
Also, I think there might be more interesting investors in this project that they haven't made public yet, that will surely be something interesting.
#NB; The writer's view is personal and shouldn't be taken as financial advice (#NFA), please #DYOR.
