Coin Listings and Big Ecosystem Updates | January 2025 Recap | PLAYA3ULL GAMES

Jonathan Bouzanquet, known to many as <a href="https://playa3ull.games/team" target="_blank" rel="noopener">0ld3ULL</a> in the <a href="https://playa3ull.games/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PLAYA3ULL GAMES</a> community, has released a new book called &lsquo;WTF is Crypto: Cryptocurrency Will Be Arriving On Platform 4 At 4:06pm.&rsquo;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;
This essential, no-nonsense beginner's guide cuts through the jargon of cryptocurrency, blockchain, NFTs, and Web3. Jonathan breaks it down with humour and clarity, whether you're a total beginner or looking to refine your skills.
&nbsp;
The book/e-book can be <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DK7QK9X1/ref=sr_1_1?crid=27JUC854CHHWR&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.f7yhdFXAo59b6vxI8UNzwJdOmVB8t4PADnxgHYJmy3FbOvKRMiLkxnUYLRrq4UYEDPbxGPv8ZWPZ15-1AM8JooQ9qA8R9p8xZWYIpT9LHvol8QyhiKGoMfZe4Ceo5lvNOaTphyec52sMwB5kMDaaBxShiRc84p07WsruM3FPRuDuuDKNgNKwHtW9KgtIQWdkJZTc5zEkyzolOB6G_tz68GpEm5BBRn9As8bmpLWcWDs.xuZ8Ca_vZYQTDyA3_OFhOfg0CDGuT_xrLu-jgPdUGTY&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=wtf+is+crypto&amp;qid=1729271460&amp;s=books&amp;sprefix=wtf+is+crypto,stripbooks-intl-ship,276&amp;sr=1-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">directly purchased through Amazon here</a> or search 'WTF is Crypto?' on Amazon in your location.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Discover the contents of Jono&rsquo;s book below in this comprehensive preview.
&nbsp;
<h2 dir="ltr">Who is this book for?</h2>
&nbsp;
This book is dedicated to the everyday person who wants to heighten their awareness of this transformative technology. <a href="https://cryptonews.com.au/news/report-crypto-adoption-is-outpacing-other-technologies-growing-faster-than-internet-123884/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Blockchain is being adopted faster than the internet </a>and mobile phones, yet many bystanders are scared of technology. Some still believe it has no place in their daily lives. You couldn&rsquo;t be more wrong; this book is perfect for you!
&nbsp;
In this book, he covers the basics of crypto for the &lsquo;Mr Bob Normal and Miss Everywoman&rsquo; and empowers readers to transition to a new realm of possibilities.
&nbsp;
&ldquo;For the first time in history, we see an industry forming around society's intelligentsia. For the first time in history, an industry is being born that is not being run by people who inherited it or, like the oil industry, found it by luck on their dying farms or their desert countries. It is not based on who is stronger or who can kill the most people. No, for the first time in history, smart people (and I mean some of the smartest in the world) are at the centre of a disruptive technology that can change money forever and the world's power base,&rdquo; states Jonathan.
&nbsp;
To his family and friends, Jonathan is a constant source of inspiration. Sometimes maddeningly optimistic, he is driven by a deep belief that his ideas could change the world. As the founder of PLAYA3ULL GAMES, he was first successful in raising money to build a small crypto game for <a href="https://games.gala.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gala Games</a> with his little team in Melbourne. The game quickly took off, and Jonathan&rsquo;s been 3ULLish ever since by expanding PLAYA3ULL GAMES into one of the most prolific Web3 gaming studios.&nbsp; He is targeting a big goal of releasing 30 games in 10 years.
&nbsp;
<h2>Subjects covered in the book</h2>
&nbsp;
&lsquo;WTF is Crypto&rsquo; examines a diverse range of Web3 subjects that will prepare readers with an encyclopaedia of knowledge, including:

WTF is Crypto? A new book by PLAYA3ULL GAMES founder Jonathan Bouzanquet

Web3 development brings a revolutionary shift in the gaming industry, empowering players with ownership, control, and the opportunity for financial reward. In this blog, we examine the core reasons driving this paradigm shift, examining the transition from traditional Web2 models to Web3 gaming platforms like those we are building here at <a href="https://playa3ull.games/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PLAYA3ULL GAMES</a>. We also discuss balancing play-to-earn mechanics and navigating regulatory uncertainty, highlighting the path towards realising this exciting new gaming era's full potential.
&nbsp;
Game on!
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2>Understanding the reasons for Web3 Gaming and PLAYA3ULL GAMES</h2>
&nbsp;
Web3 gaming platforms leverage blockchain technology to empower players. This decentralisation allows players to truly own their in-game items, represented as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), which can be used across different games and virtual worlds, helping to foster the concept of interoperability.&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;
A key driver for Web3 gaming's rise is the play-to-earn (P2E) model. This innovative approach allows players to generate real-world value through gameplay, transforming gaming from a hobby into a potential source of income. By participating in the game's ecosystem, players can earn cryptocurrencies or NFTs, which can then be traded or sold. Games like <a href="https://playa3ull.games/games/nexus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NEXUS</a> give out 2.1 million <a href="https://playa3ull.games/coin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">3ULL coins</a> weekly to the players.
&nbsp;
Smart Contracts are self-executing agreements written in code that automate in-game processes and lead to enhanced levels of trust and fairness. This transparency fosters a more equitable and engaging gaming environment. While challenges still remain (scalability and user adoption being some of the largest), the potential for Web3 technology to revolutionise the gaming industry is undeniable.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h2>Key Features Every Web3 Gaming Platform Needs</h2>
&nbsp;
The potential of Web3 gaming hinges on the delivery of engaging experiences that transcend tokenisation and P2E opportunities. Fun and compelling gameplay will always remain paramount to any committed gamer. Web3 elements should enhance the core experience, focusing on memorable moments and satisfying progression.
&nbsp;
A sustainable in-game economy is crucial for longevity. Platforms must balance asset creation and consumption while preventing inflation and immediate selling. This isn&rsquo;t going to be easy. Regular monitoring and adjustment are key, along with &lsquo;<a href="https://members.delphidigital.io/learn/token-sinks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sink mechanisms</a>&rsquo; that remove assets from circulation.
&nbsp;
Innovative gameplay mechanics that leverage blockchain technology are essential for Web3 gaming success. Beyond tokenising assets, platforms should explore decentralised world-building, provable randomness for fair systems, and dynamic narratives driven by player actions.
&nbsp;
Seamless onboarding is also vital for mainstream adoption. Intuitive tutorials, smooth wallet creation, and the abstraction of complex crypto elements are crucial for a positive first-time user experience.
&nbsp;
As we all know, a thriving community is the backbone of any successful platform. Social features, regular events, clear communication channels, and user feedback systems help foster greater levels of engagement and trust. This is why our <a href="https://discord.com/invite/playa3ull" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Supporta3ULLS Discord community</a> does a great job helping all players with issues or queries.
&nbsp;
<h2>Designing incentive systems for users</h2>
&nbsp;
Effective incentive design is crucial for driving user behaviour within the Web3 gaming platform. At its core, it leverages the principle that rewards and encourages specific actions. Effective incentive systems align user motivations with project goals, helping to foster increased levels of growth and user engagement. It is generally accepted that a well-designed system should incentivise positive contributions and discourage negative actions.&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The first step in incentive design is the identification of desired behaviours, such as holding tokens, participating in governance, or contributing to platform development. Incentives can then be structured to reward these actions, while penalties can deter undesirable behaviour.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Financial rewards, access to exclusive resources, or even recognition can all serve as effective motivators. The overall tokenomics of the Web3 gaming platform, including supply, demand, and value, should also be carefully considered. Creating network effects, such as rewarding early adopters, can further boost user participation.&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;
A number of innovative incentive mechanisms currently exist. With new concepts being added everyday, P2E gamers can choose from learn-to-earn, move-to-earn, play-to-own, play-to-earn, rent-to-earn, travel-to-earn, share-to-earn, and wellness-to-earn.
&nbsp;
As you can see, each mechanism caters to different user motivations, from acquiring knowledge to achieving fitness goals.
&nbsp;
Ignoring incentives can be detrimental and lead to low user participation, lack of motivation, and potential security risks. Therefore, a balanced approach that combines compelling incentives with a valuable product or service is key to long-term success.
&nbsp;
<h2>Overcoming Challenges in Web3 Game Development</h2>
&nbsp;
Web3 gaming faces a complex set of challenges. Whilst balancing &lsquo;play&rsquo; and &lsquo;earn&rsquo; remains paramount, games must be engaging and fun and not solely focused on financial rewards. Striking this balance is crucial for long-term player retention.
&nbsp;
User experience is another major hurdle. Onboarding must be simplified, making wallet connections and account setup. Understanding blockchain mechanics is intuitive for &lsquo;non-crypto&rsquo; players. It goes without saying that seamless fiat on/off-ramps are essential for mainstream adoption, allowing players to easily convert traditional currency to cryptocurrency and vice-versa.
&nbsp;
The shift towards player ownership requires careful design to align incentives between developers and players. This can be achieved through revenue-sharing models, player-owned governance systems, or decentralised autonomous organisations (DAOs). Economic sustainability is also critical, requiring balanced tokenomics, controlled inflation, and mechanisms to maintain asset value.
&nbsp;
Developers must shift focus from pre-sale NFTs to creating high-quality gameplay experiences. Building and nurturing active communities is also vital for success. This involves fostering open communication, incorporating player feedback, and creating a sense of shared ownership among Web3 gamers.
&nbsp;
Improved blockchain scalability is also needed to handle increased transaction volumes and ensure smooth gameplay. PLAYA3ULL GAMES has custom-built a blockchain that caters specifically for Web3 video games and the scalability required for success. Enhanced graphics, VR/AR integration, and metaverse development will all help create more immersive experiences, pushing the boundaries of game design.
&nbsp;
Web3 gaming represents more than a technological upgrade; it fundamentally changes the relationship between players and games. While challenges like scalability and user adoption remain, the core principles of ownership, transparency, and community-driven development offer a compelling vision for the future of interactive entertainment.
&nbsp;
By blurring the lines between entertainment and active participation in a dynamic digital world, Web3 gaming platforms like PLAYA3ULL GAMES are forever changing the world's most popular pastime.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

HUGE ORDINEM and NEXUS TOURNAMENTS | February 2025 Recap | PLAYA3ULL GAMES

So you heard the rumour too? Web3 gaming is dead, right? Think again.
With social media alive with rumours of the death of Web3 gaming, we thought we better take a proper look at what is really going on. Strap in!
<h2>Web3 Gaming Isn&rsquo;t Dead&mdash;It&rsquo;s Only Getting Started</h2>
<img src="https://cms.playa3ull.games/assets/9a086996-d1ba-4616-90c7-9e4821f0a1c2?width=592&amp;height=230" alt="Mash Web3 Gaming Isnt Dead">
Following the unpredictability of the wider crypto market, Web3 gaming has been <a href="https://x.com/Jihoz_Axie/status/1901302336875573252">going through a crisis</a> in recent months.&nbsp;
With failed projects littering the wayside, it's clear that those who haven&rsquo;t got their act together face an uphill battle. Not just for viral following but to actually get off the ground in the first place.
Like every major gaming revolution before it, whether it be the rise of mobile, free-to-play platforms, eSports, or digital skins, Web3 gaming is facing its share of scepticism.
However, as always, the reality is somewhat different. Disruption never comes easy and real change takes time. When you look more closely, what we&rsquo;re witnessing isn&rsquo;t the death of Web3 gaming but its transformation into something more powerful than you can ever imagine!
&nbsp;
<h2>The Death of Hype = The Birth of Quality</h2>
<img src="https://cms.playa3ull.games/assets/b55c89dd-ce45-489a-a0e9-0a88a876493e?width=466&amp;height=775" alt="Sofia Web3 Gaming Rebirth">
&nbsp;
During the peak of the last crypto cycle, the Web3 gaming landscape was flooded with sensational hype and unsubstantiated speculation. A large number of projects had no business even calling themselves games as empty promises and rug pulls reigned supreme.
As you are no doubt aware, through 2020 and 2021 the Play-to-Earn (P2E) concept exploded. As many of us dreamed of giving up work with the promise of new careers and revenue streams, the P2E model dominated the landscape. However, unsustainable economies don&rsquo;t last, and as the market corrected, many spectators labelled Web3 gaming a glorious failure.
Many hardcore gamers complained that Web3 gaming wasn&rsquo;t even needed and that it was being pushed on them. When you also consider that many builders entered the space for extraction rather than innovation, the proliferation of poor-quality products across the market made perfect sense.
In the background, developers continued to build, confident in the knowledge that the market was evolving. Despite claims of its death, many Web3 gaming projects were still raising significant capital.
While Axie Infinity may have replaced wages for some, there was no turning back. The genie was finally out of the bottle. According to <a href="https://x.com/SofiaCryptoVibe/status/1901444664768836095">@SofiaCryptoVibe</a> the lack of Axie Infinity-style hype doesn't mean death but maturity. The industry is now shedding the gimmicks and refocusing on what truly matters &ndash; the player.
In 2025, developers have learnt from their mistakes and are building immersive, engaging experiences that are truly worthy of your money. As always in business, it takes time to cut through the noise, find out what works, and refine the product into something that not only meets customer demands but pushes the boundaries of what was previously acceptable.
&nbsp;
<h2>Gaming&rsquo;s Rebellious Future: Empowering Players Like Never Before</h2>
<img src="https://cms.playa3ull.games/assets/f1f2cbda-4b21-46db-a921-c263dbab7253?width=591&amp;height=308" alt="Og Gamers Rebel">
&nbsp;
Web3 gaming continues to flip the script. With the emphasis on freedom, empowerment and true ownership, developers are transforming stale ideas into new concepts. Web3 gaming gives players the power to shape in-game economies, trade assets freely, and participate in community governance.
The core philosophy is player-centricity. No more renting of digital items &ndash; this time, you own the asset. Say goodbye to locked environments dreamed up by tired old devs. With Web3 gaming, YOU decide how to engage.
Web3 gaming isn&rsquo;t just a minor iteration of a successful concept. It&rsquo;s a complete rewrite of the rules of engagement! A rebellious movement that hands control to those who fuel the industry &ndash; the gamers.
<h2>The Builders Who Are Defying the Odds</h2>
<img src="https://cms.playa3ull.games/assets/b74d2b48-ee75-49c8-a91f-14ae5116432a?width=644&amp;height=689" alt="Annazplays Web3 Gaming">
Despite the turmoil, forward-thinking studios continue to build. Major gaming houses are integrating blockchain concepts, thereby recognising the value Web3 brings to society. For example, in 2025, we have seen <a href="https://www.ledgerinsights.com/sony-launches-its-soneium-blockchain/">Sony</a> file a rising number of Web3 patents, <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/ubisoft-first-web3-game-oasys-blockchain-launch">Ubisoft partner with Oasys Network</a> for Web3 game distribution, and Epic Games host more than 60 Web3 titles alone.
Meanwhile, established Web3 games such as MapleStory U (400K+ users and 80%+ retention), <a href="https://gam3s.gg/news/off-the-grid-13-million-users/">Off the Grid (13M+ wallets</a> and 400K-500K daily active users), and RavenQuest (gaining traction as a leading MMORPG) continue to build real engagement, proving the demand for immersive blockchain-enabled worlds isn&rsquo;t going anywhere soon.
<a href="https://playa3ull.games/">PLAYA3ULL GAMES</a> have also emerged as a trailblazer in the Web3 gaming world. They offer a robust ecosystem that combines cutting-edge technology with player empowerment. Be sure to check out our latest news.
Even with the broader crypto market behaving as erratically as ever, funding continues to flow into Web3 gaming. You might ask why visionary developers can see beyond the short-term volatility and recognise rising demand and long-term potential.
Web3 gaming isn&rsquo;t just about a quick cash grab. It's about the fundamental transformation of how games are played, owned and experienced.
<h2>A Community-Driven Revolution</h2>
<img src="https://cms.playa3ull.games/assets/06ee66c5-2da5-4788-bb13-1bd750466668?width=589&amp;height=344" alt="Jonah2 Community Drive Res">
&nbsp;
It's becoming evident that the most powerful force in gaming isn&rsquo;t technology but community. Despite the amazing graphics and powerful storylines, gamers want to connect, compete, create, and collaborate.
Web3 gaming facilitates deeper player-driven ecosystems where guilds, DAOs, and open-world communities thrive because they are built on collective ownership and shared incentives.
It is those who understand this paradigm shift that is leading the way as the next generation of gaming materialises into reality.
<h2>The Future is Fearless</h2>
<img src="https://cms.playa3ull.games/assets/a3a361a2-90c2-497f-8382-c171a0b86a14?width=642&amp;height=356" alt="Robbie Fergusion Web3 Gaming">
&nbsp;
Web3 gaming isn&rsquo;t dead. It's simply in a transformation, where the hype is fading and replaced with real products and better experiences. <a href="https://x.com/RealJonahBlake/status/1901281822765441425">@RealJonahBlake</a> and <a href="https://x.com/0xferg/status/1901773620877365696">@0xferg</a> argue that Web3 gaming is at a critical inflection point, requiring better business models and user experiences.
Scepticism will always dampen the brightest of lights. Every major evolutionary shift is met with resistance before it becomes mainstream.
Web3 isn&rsquo;t an experiment. It's the inevitable next step for an industry that feeds on innovation. But there is no need to wait for permission. We continue to build, disrupt and empower. The future of gaming belongs to those who are brave enough to take risks and embrace change. Make sure you&rsquo;re not left behind.

&nbsp;

Web3 Gaming Studios - PLAYA3ULL GAMES (Big Updates)

Top NFT Games For 2024

Play-To-Earn Games: 15 Best Picks For 2024

Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) have revolutionised the video game genre and NFT gaming merges traditional video game experiences with blockchain technology. This allows players to own, trade, and earn digital assets. NFT gaming matters because it challenges the traditional boundaries of ownership in the digital space, introduces innovative economic systems, and fosters deeper player engagement by making virtual assets more meaningful and valuable.&nbsp;
 <a href="https://playa3ull.games/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PLAYA3ULL GAMES</a> has compiled 5 great starter games to get into NFT gaming and web3 blockchain games.

&nbsp;
<h2>How does NFT Gaming change the world?</h2>
&nbsp;
NFT gaming is transforming the digital landscape by redefining how players get rewarded for playing video games.&nbsp; The traditional gaming model involves players spending countless hours and, often, money, to end up with no assets that can be traded or staked.&nbsp; For simply playing a game and having fun, NFT games provide a space where players can thrive both competitively and economically.&nbsp; NFTs are gaining traction in the gaming world. Some NFTs offer purely cosmetic enhancements, adding visual flair without impacting gameplay. Other NFT assets can potentially influence battle outcomes. Traditional game studios, like <a href="https://gunzillagames.com/en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gunzilla Games</a>, are increasingly exploring Web3 and NFT game models. Players are being rewarded for their time and engagement in these new gaming ecosystems.
&nbsp;
<h2 class="MsoNormal">What are 5 great NFT Games to start with?</h2>
&nbsp;
With hundreds of NFT games to dig your nails into, it can be daunting to decide where to start.&nbsp; Luckily, at PLAYA3ULL GAMES, we&rsquo;ve compiled some of the most recent and popular games that will give you a taste of the next evolution in video gaming.
&nbsp;
<h2 class="MsoNormal">ORDINEM</h2>
&nbsp;
<img src="https://cms.playa3ull.games/assets/1e85d09d-4282-4caa-b8a5-a0db2821f3a1?width=734&amp;height=417" alt="Ordinem Web3 Game">
&nbsp;
<a href="https://playa3ull.games/blog/ordinem" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fresh off a global release</a>, <a href="https://playa3ull.games/games/ordinem" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ORDINEM</a> lets you command your combination of the five mythical factions developed by PLAYA3ULL GAMES.&nbsp; Use your deck of cards to cast spells and summon followers.&nbsp; It is a Trading Card Game (TCG) that features cards as NFTs and <a href="https://playa3ull.games/coin">3ULL coin</a> integration.&nbsp; ORDINEM is an easy game to set up and play and invites strategic gameplay with your unique deck of NFT cards.&nbsp; The local in-game currency 3ULL Coin rewards players for participation, and many new updates are planned well into 2025 and beyond.
&nbsp;
<h2 class="MsoNormal">Axie Infinity</h2>
<img src="https://cms.playa3ull.games/assets/aad5a689-ef63-4a5c-88bb-0d3c5df4bd5e?width=734&amp;height=415" alt="Axie Infinity Web3 Game">
&nbsp;
<a href="https://axieinfinity.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Axie Infinity</a>, developed by Sky Mavis, is a blockchain-based game where players collect, breed, and battle digital pets called Axies. Each Axie is represented as an NFT, granting players true ownership of their in-game assets. These Axies can be battled in a PVP arena or used in other Axie-branded games.&nbsp; Axie Infinity remains a notable example of integrating blockchain technology with gaming, pioneering new economic models within the industry.&nbsp; The many setbacks it&rsquo;s had over its relatively short time online haven&rsquo;t deterred its popularity, and Axie Infinity is a great game to dive into.
&nbsp;
<h2 class="MsoNormal">Off The Grid</h2>
<img src="https://cms.playa3ull.games/assets/4ef12017-7f95-406d-bb06-d8800a85068b?width=731&amp;height=411" alt="Off the Grid Web3 Game">
&nbsp;
<a href="https://gameoffthegrid.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Off the Grid</a>, a Web3-enabled battle royale game developed by Gunzilla Games has rapidly gained traction in the gaming community.&nbsp; Attracting prominent Twitch streamers such as <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAW-NpUFkMyCNrvRSSGIvDQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ninja</a>, TimTheTatman, and Shroud.

The game offers NFTs as cosmetic skins and can be played on Playstation and PC while changing objectives as you&rsquo;re playing.
&nbsp;
<h2 class="MsoNormal">Parallel</h2>
<img src="https://cms.playa3ull.games/assets/5aeca69a-f265-43bf-ad26-211f521203e4?width=735&amp;height=424" alt="Parallel Web3 Game">

<img src="https://cms.playa3ull.games/assets/3dae1a79-a6a1-46ea-a1a8-ad0294dc9101?width=734&amp;height=409" alt="Nexus Web3 Game">

New Blockchain games that are multiplayer

Blockchain game companies are transforming the gaming industry by leveraging decentralised infrastructure. This &lsquo;sea-change&rsquo; in video gaming gives players unprecedented control and actual ownership over their in-game assets.
&nbsp;
Platforms that offer a nodal infrastructure provide users with greater security, enhanced transparency, and better player rewards, which all help to create more immersive and engaging user experiences. Let&rsquo;s explore three top blockchain gaming companies leveraging node technology today: <a href="https://games.gala.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gala Games</a>, <a href="https://playa3ull.games/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PLAYA3ULL GAMES</a>, and <a href="https://gamestarter.com/en/gamechain" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GameChain by Gamestarter</a>.
&nbsp;
<h2>PLAYA3ULL GAMES</h2>
&nbsp;
<img src="https://cms.playa3ull.games/assets/885be951-c0c0-4358-b097-7f9fc269728a?width=1460&amp;height=689" alt="Nodes PLAYA3ULL GAMES">
&nbsp;
<a href="https://playa3ull.games/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PLAYA3ULL GAMES</a> continue to make serious waves in the blockchain gaming space by integrating a robust node infrastructure that not only enhances decentralisation but increases platform security.
&nbsp;
By becoming a<a href="https://playa3ull.games/nodes" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> PLAYA3ULL GAMES node owner</a>, unique opportunities to earn substantial rewards while helping secure the network arise. With only 50,000 licenses in existence, PLAYA3ULL GAMES node ownership grants access to an exclusive and prestigious community of committed gamers.
&nbsp;
As node owners, participants receive a share of the native <a href="https://playa3ull.games/coin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">3ULL coin</a> from the allocated daily distribution. In the first year of operation, 13,698,630 3ULL coins were distributed daily, with 50% going directly to node operators. Over the next ten years, five billion 3ULL coins will be distributed annually, and once the maximum supply is reached, node owners will continue to earn rewards through transaction gas fees.
&nbsp;
Further benefits include an exclusive NFT for every game in the PLAYA3ULL ecosystem and access to an exclusive Discord channel for node owners. Node prices start at $100, increasing by $100 for every 100 nodes sold. Early adoption ensures greater rewards and a prime position in the network&rsquo;s tiered pricing system. Securing a<a href="https://playa3ull.games/nodes" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> PLAYA3ULL GAMES node</a> now means gaining a head start in accumulating 3ULL coins and the potential for maximum benefits.
&nbsp;
<h2>GALA GAMES</h2>
&nbsp;
<img src="https://cms.playa3ull.games/assets/7b12b057-b02b-49e0-8375-34926664ab02?width=1215&amp;height=870" alt="Nodes Gala">
&nbsp;
<a href="https://games.gala.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gala Games</a> is one of the trailblazing blockchain game companies that empowers players with actual ownership of in-game assets. Gala Games are also giving players a say in the future of the network with the opportunity to own and operate their own Gala nodes.
&nbsp;
<a href="https://gala-node.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Running a Gala node</a> allows users to help secure the platform while earning rewards in GALA tokens and exclusive NFTs. Gala node holders also help support game transactions, governance, and overall network stability, ensuring a more decentralised and player-driven environment.
&nbsp;
Node ownership offers holders numerous advantages. The ability to vote on key ecosystem decisions, receive early access to new game releases, and exclusive NFT drops are among some of the most popular. With a limited number of nodes available, their value has the potential to grow significantly over time. Gala nodes are set to become tradable NFTs, increasing their utility and market potential in the future.
&nbsp;
For anyone interested in node ownership but hesitant about technical setup, third-party services like<a href="https://gala-node.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Gala-Node.com</a> provide step-by-step guidance and operational support, making it easier for new users to get started. Whether through gaming, staking, or network participation, Gala Games continues to shape the future of decentralised gaming and offer lucrative opportunities for early adopters.

Gamechain by Gamestarter
&nbsp;
<img src="https://cms.playa3ull.games/assets/c85c93fc-dcc9-47f9-b487-39bba74f487e?width=1428&amp;height=767" alt="Nodes Gamestarter">
&nbsp;
<a href="https://gamestarter.com/en/gamechain" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GameChain by Gamestarter</a> is yet another platform revolutionising the indie gaming landscape by allowing users to participate in network validation and earn rewards through<a href="https://gamestarter.com/en/gamechain-nodes" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Game Node Keys</a>. With a total supply of 80,000 Game Keys, these nodes play a crucial role in securing transactions and maintaining the network, rewarding validators with $GAME tokens, NFTs, and in-game assets.
&nbsp;
Node operators benefit from multi-token rewards, early access to IGOs, and product launches. A tiered pricing system governs the sale of Game Keys, incentivising early adoption. Additionally, GameChain employs a halving mechanic, where token rewards are higher in the earlier years and decrease over time to maintain long-term sustainability. In the first year, 125,000,000 $GAME tokens will be distributed, ensuring substantial incentives for initial node validators.
&nbsp;
GameChain offers a lock-up multiplier system to enhance further staking rewards, where longer staking periods yield greater multipliers. For example, a 12-month stake provides a 2x multiplier, while a 24-month lock-up grants a 3x boost. Stakers accumulate points based on their stake and lock-up duration, determining their share of the daily rewards pool.
&nbsp;
With over 930,000 users already engaged in the ecosystem,<a href="https://gamestarter.com/en/gamechain" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> GameChain</a> is positioning itself as a dominant force in blockchain gaming. By becoming a node holder, participants have access to unparalleled rewards while contributing to the growth of an expanding, decentralised and transparent gaming network.
&nbsp;
Blockchain gaming is no longer a distant vision - it&rsquo;s happening right now. The blockchain game companies leading the charge offer unprecedented opportunities for players and investors. <a href="https://games.gala.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gala Games</a>, <a href="https://playa3ull.games/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PLAYA3ULL GAMES</a>,&nbsp;and <a href="https://gamestarter.com/en/home" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gamestarter</a> are building the foundations of a new gaming economy where the players' control, ownership, and rewards belong.
&nbsp;
This is your chance to be more than just a gamer. Whether running a node, staking tokens, or earning NFTs, you contribute to a movement reshaping the gaming industry. Don&rsquo;t just play the game - own it. The time to act is now! Will you take your place in the revolution?

PLAYA3ULL GAMES Becomes Blockchain Game Alliance Gold Member

The world of gaming continues evolving rapidly. Yet amidst the technological strides lies an often overlooked revolution &ndash; the ascendance of vibrant gaming communities as fundamental forces steering future growth. NEXUS, an innovative multiplayer game, has embraced this community-centric, collaborative spirit. Its latest major update cements its reputation as one of the most community-driven games, where each player's voice and contribution are valued and integral to our growth.
&nbsp;
Fostering continuous dialogue, team members and players actively discuss updates, balancing and new features on Discord. This constant exchange of insights and ideas between the team and community is the lifeblood driving NEXUS' evolution.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h2 dir="ltr">Competitive Ranked Play Takes Centre Stage&nbsp;&nbsp;</h2>
&nbsp;
With the long-awaited introduction of ranked matchmaking, NEXUS allows players to test their skills against equally capable opponents. Starting in Bronze, competitors can climb the ranks, with their matchmaking rating (MMR) rising steadily toward the coveted Master tier as their prowess grows. Alongside these rankings comes a rework of NEXUS' play-and-earn system, granting higher-ranked combatants up to 1.9x earnings multipliers. As ranked play matures, NEXUS seems poised to spearhead a thriving competitive scene, offering an exciting new challenge for the community.
&nbsp;
<h2 dir="ltr">Direct Community Impacts on Development</h2>
&nbsp;
Unlike traditional game production, NEXUS incorporates community feedback deeply within its evolution. Weapons balancing, ranked mode upgrades, skins and more all directly reflect player perspectives. This development cycle fosters unprecedented creative ownership throughout the NEXUS community. Veterans and newcomers alike feel invested in the game they help guide.&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h2 dir="ltr">Gameplay Enhancements Raise the Skill Ceiling</h2>
&nbsp;
Numerous improvements continue to advance the NEXUS gameplay experience, enhancing mechanical satisfaction and strategic potential. Entirely reworked weapons now sport unique spray patterns alongside impactful passives, massively expanding combat dynamics. Each weapon now has a distinct feel and playstyle, adding depth and variety to the game. Meanwhile, overhauled status effects like Frostbite and Ablaze make counters and synergies more logical. Complete with visual and audio polish, these changes make moment-to-moment action more immersive, drawing players deeper into the game world.&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;
You can check out the complete list of patch notes on the NEXUS game page <a href="https://playa3ull.games/games/1">here</a> for all the in-depth details.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Alongside favourites like the Laser Gun and Grenade Launcher, new armaments like the Pump Shotgun provide fresh, aggressive playstyle options, while revised tools like the Healing Gun grow more versatile through additional functionality. Players can also express themselves through new cosmetic skins like the Turtle and Bear, now available in the NEXUS store.
&nbsp;
<h2 dir="ltr">P2E Pass Deters Exploitation</h2>
&nbsp;
A significant new introduction is the P2E Pass - an upfront purchase required to participate in NEXUS' play-and-earn system. The Pass can be purchased in the NFT Store on the dApp and is designed to deter botting and exploitation, ensuring legitimate competitive play is rewarded. Exemptions exist for Master Node holders and VI3 members who have already demonstrated commitment.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h2 dir="ltr">The Future Beckons Endless Potential&nbsp;</h2>
&nbsp;
The developers' commitment to community-guided growth sets the stage for long-term success. This potent fusion of passionate creators supporting an active player base represents gaming's future. NEXUS blazes forward boldly at the vanguard of such innovation. Your voice matters in this journey. Your ideas and feedback shape the future of NEXUS. Together, we can create a gaming experience that is truly ours.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;
At its core, NEXUS is more than just a game &ndash; it's a platform powered by cooperation where skills, strategy and participation are rewarded. As gaming moves toward more interactive environments, NEXUS leads by example, showcasing how communities and creators can collectively raise the ceiling of what's possible. United by this shared vision, NEXUS' future shines bright.&nbsp;

From Patch Notes to Play: Navigating NEXUS' Latest Updates

We&rsquo;re over the moon to announce that our second game <a href="https://playa3ull.games/games/ordinem" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ORDINEM</a> is now available to play in closed beta!&nbsp; Find the access code by <a href="https://discord.com/invite/playa3ull" target="_blank" rel="noopener">joining the discord</a>.&nbsp; ORDINEM lets you command your own combination of the five mythical factions, using your deck of cards to cast spells and summon followers.&nbsp; It is a Trading Card Game (TCG) which features cards as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) and <a href="https://playa3ull.games/coin">3ULL coin</a> integration.&nbsp; The game is heavily inspired by <a href="https://magic.wizards.com/en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Magic: The Gathering</a>, <a href="https://hearthstone.blizzard.com/en-gb" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hearthstone</a> and other similar online card games.
 We are going to unveil&nbsp; how ORDINEM is pushing forward crypto gaming.&nbsp; You can browse the <a href="https://ordinem.playa3ull.games/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ORDINEM Wiki page</a> for a much more in depth look at the over 200 cards themselves, and the specific in game rules.. Let&rsquo;s enter the frontier! GLHF.

Watch this video to get an exclusive look at ORDINEM.
&nbsp;
<h2 dir="ltr">The Basics of ORDINEM </h2>
<a href="https://playa3ull.games/games/ordinem" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ORDINEM</a> challenges players to strategically play cards in battle that give them the best opportunity to defeat the opposing player. All cards have archetypes, which determine how you use them on the battlefield. Followers, for example, are your troops, and have strength (attack) and resilience (hit point).&nbsp; They also have a 'thread cost', determining how many threads you need to put onto the frontier. For a full breakdown of the rulebook, <a href="https://ordinem.playa3ull.games/rulebook" target="_blank" rel="noopener">click here</a>.&nbsp; Below are card archetypes that can be found in ORDINEM. 
<h3>Follower</h3>
Followers are &lsquo;creatures&rsquo; or &lsquo;minions&rsquo; that can be summoned.&nbsp; Followers have Strength and Resilience. Strength is how much damage the follower deals when it attacks, and Resilience is how much it can take. If Resilience is ever 0, the Follower is destroyed.
&nbsp;
<h3>Relic</h3>
Relics are mechanical contraptions that serve various purposes. They stay on the Frontier and usually have passive or activated abilities.
&nbsp;
<h3>Twine</h3>
Twines are magical objects or enhancements made from woven threads of magic. They stay on the Frontier to give permanent or repeating effects.
&nbsp;
<h3>Spell</h3>
Magical spells that are played for a &lsquo;one off&rsquo; dazzling effect. They don't stay in the Frontier.
&nbsp;
<h3>Weave</h3>
Weaves are your primary Thread sources. You put them into the Frontier by Enweaving at the start of your turn.
&nbsp;
More information about the order of play can be <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/108TChz9l9Nf-TMELSy1TX_cf-9i5gzSP0TNoyyuk2e4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">found here</a>. ORDINEM has many exciting blockchain integrations, including the cards themselves acting as NFTs.
&nbsp;<img src="https://cms.playa3ull.games/assets/080df72c-004c-44da-9810-698c1cbba7b8?width=2560&amp;height=1440" alt="ordinem tcg">
Battle it out in ORDINEM.
&nbsp;
<h2 dir="ltr">ORDINEM cards are NFTs</h2>
ORDINEM continues to push crypto gaming boundaries by creating digital playable cards as NFTs. Actual asset ownership gives players the confidence to see global market card activity on the blockchain and keep assets forever. Every pack and card purchased in ORDINEM can be listed and bought on the <a href="https://app.testnet.playa3ull.games/marketplace" target="_blank" rel="noopener">marketplace</a>, which players can test now in closed beta! By making the process permissionless via <a href="https://www.ibm.com/topics/smart-contracts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">smart contracts</a> and instant transactions, players can set their desired price for a card, and buyers can purchase the NFT without a middleman involved.&nbsp; ORDINEM solves one of the greatest pain points for players: they can now freely distribute their cards for their desired price. Online TCGs like Magic: The Gathering prevent players from selling and trading cards leaving them with cards they would never use.
&nbsp;
Another game that has embraced TCG cards as NFTs is <a href="https://splinterlands.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Splinterlands</a>. It has opened up unique cases for players to earn yield by allowing them to rent out their cards for others to use. To upgrade Splinterland cards, the player must burn multiple copies of the same card, which creates scarcity by limiting the supply.&nbsp; The game also includes an auto-battle system where the result is recorded on the blockchain.
&nbsp;
ORDINEM, in contrast, encourages players to test their card battle and deck-builder skills in real-time turn-based combat.&nbsp; Another way PLAYA3ULL GAMES pushes blockchain boundaries as a Web3 gaming studio is more use cases in ORDINEM for the 3ULL coin.
&nbsp;
<img src="https://cms.playa3ull.games/assets/3c802b84-f1ef-448f-af09-76623c1a4123?width=1645&amp;height=1029" alt="Ordinem NFT Cards">ORDINEM cards as NFTs are a total game changer.
&nbsp;
<h2 dir="ltr">The Bullish case for 3ULL coin and blockchain gaming</h2>
&nbsp;
The blockchain utility continues for the <a href="https://playa3ull.games/coin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">3ULL coin</a>, which will be used to purchase ORDINEM card packs.&nbsp; This continues the trend of 30 games in 10 years by <a href="https://playa3ull.games/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PLAYA3ULL GAMES</a> and using the 3ULL coin for all games released.&nbsp; Using one coin simplifies the blockchain gaming experience for users as it does not require constant searching for new token contract addresses, which will save time.
&nbsp;
Blockchain rewards for ORDINEM will also come in 3ULL coins, and players already love the earning aspect with our first game, <a href="https://playa3ull.games/games/nexus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NEXUS</a>.&nbsp; If players hunger for more 3ULL coins, they can be claimed daily by owning a <a href="https://playa3ull.games/nodes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PLAYA3ULL GAMES node</a>.
&nbsp;
New blockchain games are breaking boundaries by giving back to the players who graciously provide their time and feedback to help improve games.&nbsp; The ORDINEM&nbsp; Testnet NFT marketplace can be <a href="https://app.testnet.playa3ull.games/marketplace">accessed here</a> to see the future of player-owned economies. Feel free to explore and <a href="https://discord.gg/playa3ull" target="_blank" rel="noopener">give feedback</a> to the PLAYA3ULL GAMES team.

Monthly Recap | August 2024 | PLAYA3ULL GAMES

PLAYA3ULL GAMES made a huge splash as a platinum sponsor at the recent TOKEN2049 crypto event in Dubai. The conference, held on April 18-19, was one of the largest in-person gatherings of the global crypto community this year, drawing over 10,000 blockchain enthusiasts and leaders.
&nbsp;
As a platinum sponsor, web3 gaming studios PLAYA3ULL GAMES stood out among the industry giants at the TOKEN2049 crypto event in Dubai. Branding was not just prominent, creatively displayed on booth setups, chair cushions and even elevator doors. This distinctive approach drew inquisitive attendees, providing PLAYA3ULL GAMES with an ideal platform to share the innovative vision for blockchain gaming with key industry leaders.
&nbsp;
Core team members seized the opportunity to connect face-to-face with the PLAYA3ULL GAMES community and forge new partnerships. Jonathan Bouzanquet, Chief Strategy Officer &amp; Founder, and co-founder Jethro Bouzanquet, better known by their nicknames 0ld3ULL and Young3ULL, made guest appearances as the iconic father-son duo representing the PLAYA3ULL GAMES ecosystem at numerous events. Their presence resonated deeply with the dedicated followers who regularly interact with them online.
&nbsp;
PLAYA3ULL GAMES' forward-thinking vision for the future of blockchain gaming sparked significant interest among attendees. The revelation that there is already a highly successful game, Nexus, available on the Epic Games Store with over 100,000 downloads and 5,000-6,000 daily active users was a monumental achievement. This tangible proof of concept has solidified and elevated PLAYA3ULL GAMES' position as true innovators, leading the way in real-world blockchain game integration and adoption.
&nbsp;
The PLAYA3ULL GAMES team fielded nonstop inquiries from interested parties keen to learn more about the innovative blockchain gaming ecosystem with true digital ownership and sustainable play-and-earn models.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Global Marketing Director Ben Seccombe said, "We had so many partnership opportunities that have come to us because of our presence at TOKEN2049. To meet all those partnership opportunities, key opinion leaders, that are very keen to learn more about our project and to see how they can help and support and amplify the project in the blockchain gaming space is absolutely fantastic."
&nbsp;
While PLAYA3ULL GAMES has formed several partnerships at TOKEN2049, one significant alliance stands out. The team has strategically sealed a deal with the Blockchain Gaming Alliance, a non-profit that enhances gaming companies' visibility at events and in the media. As gold members, PLAYA3ULL GAMES will have increased opportunities to communicate with the public as industry experts. The alliance regularly seeks commentary from its gold members for magazine articles and interviews, positioning them as gaming leaders and providing insights into the future of crypto gaming. This partnership is not just a boost but a significant leap in amplifying PLAYA3ULL GAMES' vision through prime PR opportunities.
&nbsp;
With a wildly successful showing at TOKEN2049 cementing PLAYA3ULL GAMES as pioneering innovators in blockchain gaming, the company's years-long "quiet achiever" strategy has shifted gears. The time has come to spread awareness of the groundbreaking ecosystem, which grants true digital asset ownership to the masses.
&nbsp;
Emboldened by the highly positive reception from industry movers and shakers at the Dubai event, PLAYA3ULL GAMES is gearing up for an ambitious global branding push as it solidifies leadership in play-and-earn experiences. More crypto conferences are targeted later this year, possibly including TOKEN2049 Singapore and an event catering to its strong American supporter base.&nbsp;
&nbsp;

The <a href="https://playa3ull.games/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PLAYA3ULL GAMES</a> team of Michael (Credi3ull), Ben (Transforma3ULL),&nbsp; Emily (Imagina3ULL), and Daelum (Likea3ULL)&nbsp; had the pleasure of attending the <a href="https://auscryptocon.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Australian Crypto Convention</a> in Sydney, Australia on November 23-24, 2024. PLAYA3ULL GAMES was a registration sponsor for Aus Crypto Con. This included a nifty booth, panel talk, and a presentation about the state of crypto gaming and how PLAYA3ULL GAMES are innovating within the web3 space. We even had a mechanical 3ULL ride to celebrate the Q4 bull run!&nbsp;&nbsp; 
Read our takeaways from the events below.

The 3ULL ride was a popular attraction at Aus Crypto Con.
&nbsp;
The whole weekend was filled with excitement, and many new faces discovered PLAYA3ULL GAMES at our booth. We showed off our fantastic collection of games like <a href="https://playa3ull.games/games/nexus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NEXUS</a> and <a href="https://playa3ull.games/games/ordinem" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ORDINEM</a>, and people took the opportunity to share their details (either when registering their tickets or at our booth) to receive an exclusive 3ULL Coin drop after the event concluded.&nbsp; Meeting the local Australian community was also an incredible experience, as we were the only crypto gaming company at the conference.
 Our mechanical 3ULL ride was a HUGE success!&nbsp; Riders eagerly tested their endurance, challenging themselves to see how long they could hold on.&nbsp; The top 10 riders with the best times shared in the total prize pool of $1,500 USD paid in <a href="https://playa3ull.games/coin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">3ULL Coins</a>. Everyone who participated in the 3ULL ride competition received merchandise from PLAYA3ULL GAMES.&nbsp;

<h2>NEXUS is pioneering web3 gaming with the 3ULL coin and NFTs</h2>
NEXUS joins an exclusive club of web3 games that reside in the Epic Games Store. The introduction of rewarding players with their native <a href="https://playa3ull.games/coin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">3ULL coin</a> highlights a big step forward in web3 gaming globally.&nbsp; Not only is there an earn mechanic, but players can collect NFT cosmetic skins.&nbsp; Ushering a new era of digital collectibles for video games and opportunities for collaboration.
&nbsp;
The Coin Wars Skins is a unique proposition where players must hold a specific number of the respective coins to unlock a NFT skin.&nbsp; This further gives NEXUS blockchain use-cases and focuses on cross-promotion of other projects. For example, if players hold 100 Apecoin to unlock the APE skin in-game. &nbsp;<a href="https://playa3ull.games/games" target="_blank" rel="noopener">With future games developed </a><a href="https://playa3ull.games/games" target="_blank" rel="noopener">by PLAYA3ULL Games</a> to also use the 3ULL coin.

1 Year Anniversary of NEXUS on Epic Games Store

Blockchain gaming is a groundbreaking innovation that merges the decentralised power of blockchain technology with the immersive worlds of video games. Emerging in the mid-2010s, blockchain games introduced new possibilities for player ownership, digital asset trading, and play-to-earn economies. Early experiments, like <a href="https://www.cryptokitties.co/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CryptoKitties</a>, showcased the potential of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to create unique, tradable in-game items. Over the years, blockchain gaming has evolved into a thriving ecosystem, blending decentralised finance, metaverse experiences, and cross-chain interoperability. While still in its infancy, blockchain gaming is reshaping how players engage with and benefit from video games in Web3.
 <a href="https://playa3ull.games/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PLAYA3ULL GAMES</a> has detailed the meteoric rise of blockchain gaming below!
&nbsp;
<h2>Early blockchain gaming experiments (2013&ndash;2017)</h2>
<img src="https://cms.playa3ull.games/assets/7feb9233-a536-415d-a14c-89557ff5654c?width=1379&amp;height=612" alt="What Is Huntercoin">
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The early days of blockchain gaming, from 2013 to 2016, were marked by experimentation and a focus on showcasing the potential of blockchain technology in gaming.&nbsp;
 One of the first notable examples was <a href="https://xaya.io/huntercoin-legacy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Huntercoin</a> (2014), a multiplayer online game that utilised the Bitcoin blockchain. Players collected in-game coins, which could be converted into cryptocurrency, by competing in a decentralised environment where every move was recorded on-chain. These early games were simple, often limited by the technology of the time, and primarily targeted blockchain enthusiasts.
&nbsp;
<h2>Ethereum Smart Contracts and Cryptokitties (2015&ndash;2017)</h2>
<img src="https://cms.playa3ull.games/assets/e68e4c9d-ec38-45dd-ad09-f7408da20dc4?width=1103&amp;height=690" alt="What Is Cryptokitties ">
&nbsp;
The launch of Ethereum in 2015 revolutionised blockchain gaming by introducing smart contracts.&nbsp; Smart contracts are self-executing programmes stored on the blockchain and can be compared to a binding physical contract that states when an agreement is reached, an action will follow. Ethereum enabled developers to create decentralised applications (dApps) with more complex functionalities. This innovation laid the foundation for blockchain-based games where in-game assets could be tokenised as NFTs (non-fungible tokens).&nbsp;
 One of the most influential blockchain games leveraging NFTs was <a href="https://www.cryptokitties.co/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CryptoKitties</a>, which was launched in 2017. The game allowed players to collect, breed, and trade virtual cats, representing each cat as a unique NFT on the Ethereum blockchain. CryptoKitties became a sensation and showcased the potential of blockchain to create digital economies. The surge in transactions from <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-42237162" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CryptoKitties caused severe network congestion</a>, leading to slower transaction times and higher gas fees. This highlighted the limitations of early blockchain technology and sparked a push for solutions like layer-2 scaling and more efficient protocols to support the growing demand for blockchain gaming.
&nbsp;
<h2>Rise of Play-to-Earn (2021&ndash;2022)</h2>
<img src="https://cms.playa3ull.games/assets/fd7d9ff4-10cf-4d8f-9256-2e0cc781d03f?width=1330&amp;height=745" alt="What Is Ygg">
&nbsp;
The play-to-earn (P2E) gaming model took centre stage between 2021 and 2022, transforming how players engaged with games by allowing them to earn cryptocurrency as a reward for playing the game. At the forefront of this movement was&nbsp;<a href="https://axieinfinity.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Axie Infinity</a>, a blockchain game that lets players breed, battle, and trade virtual creatures called Axies, represented as NFTs. Players could control the Axie supply and sell their unique Axies in the marketplace for Ethereum. With the introduction of their Ethereum sidechain, <a href="https://roninchain.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ronin</a>, transaction fees were much lower and faster than Ethereum&rsquo;s layer-1 blockchain.&nbsp; Axie Infinity became particularly popular in countries like the Philippines, where the earnings often surpassed local wages.&nbsp;
 The rise of P2E gaming also saw the emergence of game guilds like <a href="https://www.yieldguild.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yield Guild Games</a> (YGG), which further expanded the ecosystem. These guilds acted as decentralised organisations that pooled resources to invest in in-game assets (via profit-sharing systems), leasing them to players who couldn&rsquo;t afford the upfront costs. By creating these scholarships and profit-sharing systems, guilds enabled more players to join the P2E movement and kicked off a big year of Venture Capital funding into P2E. The P2E model eventually disbanded due to unsustainable economic structures prioritising speculation over gameplay. Once token values plummeted, player interest dwindled with them.
&nbsp;
<h2>New blockchain games with fun at its core (2023 and beyond)</h2>
<img src="https://cms.playa3ull.games/assets/16f78620-0e06-49c0-b63f-44863ec88465?width=880&amp;height=496" alt="Ordinem Showcase">
&nbsp;
From 2023 onwards, blockchain gaming began prioritising fun and gameplay over purely financial incentives.&nbsp; Web3 video games have been developing for over a year or two and aim to appeal to traditional gamers and blockchain enthusiasts. Games like <a href="https://playa3ull.games/games/nexus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NEXUS</a> and <a href="https://playa3ull.games/games/ordinem" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ORDINEM</a> use multiplayer as the core element and provide an incredible user experience.&nbsp; P2E elements are still in effect to support those in developing countries, but the emphasis has shifted back to fun and immersive games.&nbsp; This is the way video games were designed to be.&nbsp; The future of blockchain gaming is bright by mixing the best elements of Web2 and Web3 video games.
&nbsp;
What a blast from the past that was, right? We hope this blog helped you appreciate the journey of blockchain gaming and the improvements made over time for new blockchain games.&nbsp;

History of Blockchain Gaming

Web3 Gaming: Best Blockchain Games To Explore in 2023

<a href="https://playa3ull.games/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PLAYA3ULL GAMES</a> enters a new exciting era by establishing a dedicated Research &amp; Development (R&amp;D) department focused on integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into game development. The technological advancements like <a href="https://www.nvidia.com/en-au/geforce/news/nvidia-ace-for-games-generative-ai-npcs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NVIDIA&rsquo;s Generative AI system</a> give endless possibilities for unique interactions between Non-Playable Characters (NPC) and gamers.&nbsp; A new AI department will work alongside PLAYA3ULL&rsquo;s game development team and create faster workflows, new revenue sources, and increased utility for the <a href="https://playa3ull.games/coin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">3ULL coin</a>.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Read below on how PLAYA3ULL GAMES is pioneering as the world's first blockchain game company at the intersection of Web3, gaming, and AI.
&nbsp;
<h2 dir="ltr">Who is PLAYA3ULL GAMES?</h2>
&nbsp;
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRvqWh8qxts"><iframe title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mRvqWh8qxts?si=XR87LFaJyAZzBc_J" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></a>
&nbsp;
PLAYA3ULL GAMES is a video game company with a 3ullish goal of creating 30 games in 10 years. We build fun, immersive games that take popular genres and add blockchain rewards.&nbsp; Our first game, <a href="https://playa3ull.games/games/nexus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NEXUS</a>, was the number one game on the Epic Games Store at launch and recently celebrated its <a href="https://playa3ull.games/blog/nexus-1-year-anniversary" target="_blank" rel="noopener">1-year 3ULLiversary</a>.&nbsp; With four more games set to go public soon, PLAYA3ULL GAMES is leading the charge on how blockchain game companies must develop.
&nbsp;
To date, here are some of our greatest achievements:
<ul>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Successful crypto fundraising.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Ongoing 3ULL coin distribution and node sales.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Distributing 5 billion 3ULL coins annually over 10 years.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Established gaming platform.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Creating the 3ULL blockchain on the <a href="https://www.avax.network/subnets" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Avalanche subnet</a>.
</li>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
Growing a thriving gaming community with over 70K followers collectively.&nbsp;
</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
Our goal: 30 high-quality PC games and 1 million players in our community.
Continually creating utility for the 3ULL coin is a significant focus. This is why we&rsquo;re excited to build a dedicated AI department to boost all aspects of our games and ecosystem.
&nbsp;
<h2 dir="ltr">Why create an AI division?</h2>
&nbsp;
<img src="https://cms.playa3ull.games/assets/58ae74d0-205d-4094-8b2a-8fe00d570b33?width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Why AI"> 
The move to integrate AI comes with several significant benefits. By leveraging AI-driven systems, PLAYA3ULL GAMES aims to reduce development cycles, improve speed by reducing repetitive tasks, and expand our production team&rsquo;s capabilities. This will also allow the company to maximise its team's potential by focusing our efforts on higher-value tasks. This gives PLAYA3ULL GAMES a competitive edge in the gaming industry, enabling us to stay ahead of technological advancements.
&nbsp;
The new AI department will <a href="https://playa3ull.games/careers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hire one C++ programmer and one game art developer</a>.&nbsp; These hires will have proven skills and experience with released games and work with the game dev team.&nbsp; They won&rsquo;t be building games but working with two new AI scientists to research and develop AI tools that will be used to enhance the game development process. Once the game dev team identifies opportunities for integrating AI, they will hand it over to the AI research team to learn how to plug it into the games.&nbsp; An example of this in development is an NPC merchant owner who can remember who you are and create new generative conversions in <a href="https://playa3ull.games/games/dogs-of-war" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DOGS OF WAR</a>. This ensures every gamer has their own unique experience.&nbsp;&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The recent introduction of <a href="https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/unreal-engine/procedural-content-generation-overview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Procedural Content Generation in Unreal Engine (PCG</a>) empowers technical artists, designers, and programmers to rapidly create buildings and gaming worlds. As a result, AI-driven systems are poised to become highly sought-after in the video gaming industry. This demand will open up PLAY3ULL&rsquo;s next stream of revenue: offering our AI systems as Software as a Service (SaaS). 
<h2 dir="ltr">Introducing the gaming world to our AI systems</h2>
<img src="https://cms.playa3ull.games/assets/86619b92-0e6c-4fb8-933f-93e7c6fc66f2?width=1920&amp;height=1080" alt="Cycle Narrative"> 
&nbsp;
The expansion into AI means we can monetise the system as a SaaS product to other gaming companies.&nbsp; Utilising our AI intellectual property (IP) internally first, we will test and make sure they work in our games.&nbsp; There will be real-world examples in our games for players and companies to see! The best part? Companies wanting to use our AI services can only utilise 3ULL Coin for their respective products.&nbsp; This further boosts the coin's utility and adds a new income stream for PLAYA3ULL GAMES and the 3ULL coin community.&nbsp; This initiative pushes us to become technology leaders with industry influence. Attracting businesses, developers, and gamers to our ecosystem.
&nbsp;
The first cycle narrative for us was the merging of master node owners, 3ULL coin traders, and gamers.&nbsp; With this new AI division, the focus will shift to the world&rsquo;s first dedicated blockchain game company that combines game development, blockchain technology, and AI.&nbsp; There&rsquo;s no better time to get excited about what&rsquo;s ahead for PLAYA3ULL GAMES.&nbsp; Check out the roadmap below.

Monthly Recap | October 2024 | PLAYA3ULL GAMES

Gamers, you deserve better.&nbsp; For too long, your time in-game and your assets weren&rsquo;t being rewarded.&nbsp; With the introduction of blockchain/Web3 and NFT (Non-fungible tokens), a new level of ownership has been unlocked.&nbsp; A new way to earn by playing a game and a new way to have power in fostering a gaming community. Let&rsquo;s dissect exactly how NFT games give back to gamers.
&nbsp;
<h2>Real rewards for your gaming hours</h2>
&nbsp;
Imagine this: you&rsquo;re playing a highly addictive game for multiple hours daily.&nbsp; It&rsquo;s fun and challenging, plus your friends are playing it.&nbsp; But when you tally up those hours over weeks or years, what do you have to show for it? Most of the time, those countless hours and dollars are spent with little to no tangible benefit in return. &nbsp;<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/FFBraveExvius/comments/7jmezv/a_whale_of_a_tale/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Read this cautionary gaming story for proof</a>.&nbsp; NFT games empower users to be rewarded for their time.
 These NFT games include the benefit of buying, selling, or trading the NFTs in an open marketplace where the reward can be a cryptocurrency.&nbsp; With that cryptocurrency, you can sell it for real money, spend it within the ecosystem, or trade it for another currency.&nbsp; Another way to earn crypto is to play the game itself.&nbsp; Instead of a locked in-game currency like Fortnite&rsquo;s &lsquo;Vbucks&rsquo;, you can earn a tradeable cryptocurrency like <a href="https://playa3ull.games/coin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">3ULL coin</a> by playing <a href="https://playa3ull.games/games/nexus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NEXUS</a>.&nbsp; Those countless gaming hours are no longer spent in vain because they now provide a source of income. This appeals to many gamers who wish their time could be more productive, offering a sense of purpose and reducing frustration in grind-heavy games.
&nbsp;
<h2>Actual ownership that matters</h2>
&nbsp;
For many decades, big video game companies like <a href="https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/overwatch/t/special-skins-lost-after-account-ban/623027" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Blizzard had a stranglehold on player&rsquo;s ownership</a>.&nbsp; They could ban you for various reasons, and that ban meant your in-game assets would now be frozen indefinitely.&nbsp; Sometimes, this resulted in lost time; other times, it meant losing the money spent purchasing those digital items. Losing years of progress due to a ban or a game shutting down can be incredibly disheartening. Having the option to transfer your characters, skins, items, or assets outside the game is essential.&nbsp; That&rsquo;s where NFT solves that issue.&nbsp; If unforeseen circumstances force a player to abandon a video game voluntarily, those in-game assets can be traded, so it&rsquo;s not a complete loss for the player.&nbsp;
 A new way of ownership outside NFTs is owning a game/company node. PLAYA3ULL GAMES has decided to <a href="https://playa3ull.games/nodes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">distribute nodes</a> so users can claim daily 3ULL coins and help run the network.&nbsp; This becomes another option for gamers who want to be in an ecosystem but may not have many hours to play.&nbsp; The nodes can be fractional, so you can pool with other users and share a node.&nbsp; This allows players to retain value even after they stop playing or take a break.
&nbsp;
<h2>Building a community-driven experience for players</h2>
&nbsp;
One of the most unique opportunities new blockchain games offer players is a verified way of deciding the direction of games. A DAO is a Decentralised Autonomous Organisation in which only holders of a specific token can vote.&nbsp; But how do they verify holders?&nbsp; Using the blockchain and a digital wallet, the DAO scans the wallet for the specific NFT or token.&nbsp; This also ensures the decision-makers are invested in the game and have its best interests at heart.&nbsp; DAOs can be responsible for how a game&rsquo;s treasury is distributed, which proposals get accepted or rejected, and even earning a tax on specific actions in-game.&nbsp; As a result, decisions are no longer solely made by the CEOs; the community also gets their say.&nbsp; Splinterlands is a trading card game that has a strong community focus, where token holders play an active role in shaping future content and making adjustments through <a href="https://support.splinterlands.com/hc/en-us/articles/9310955960724-How-do-I-vote-on-a-proposal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">community proposals</a>.
&nbsp;
This transparency in governance also encourages more collaboration between developers and gamers.&nbsp; In NFT gaming, players also become investors, aligning their interests with the game&rsquo;s success. This helps ensure that decisions support the game's longevity rather than selfish actions, such as draining the game&rsquo;s treasury. With the handy edition of <a href="https://discord.com/invite/playa3ull" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Discord</a>, players are equipped with the tools to shape the game they love and can reward community members and leaders with incentives.&nbsp; Recently, we launched the &lsquo;Big3ULL chat&rsquo;, a dedicated space for investors to connect directly with the PLAYA3ULL GAMES team. NFT games break the barriers of traditional games and let players get insights much earlier than everyone else.&nbsp; Creating a much-needed thriving community experience.
&nbsp;
We hope this blog highlighted the benefits of NFT gaming and ushering in a new frontier for video games to explore.&nbsp; Actual ownership of in-game assets and being rewarded for your hard-earned hours of gameplay are things all games should have. 
Until next time, gamers - GG Well Played!

Monthly Recap | November 2024 | PLAYA3ULL GAMES

The <a href="https://playa3ull.games/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PLAYA3ULL GAMES</a> team is excited to announce that the official open beta release of our second game, <a href="https://playa3ull.games/games/ordinem" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ORDINEM, is now available on the Epic Games store</a>.
&nbsp;
ORDINEM lets you command your own combination of the five mythical factions, using your deck of cards to cast spells and summon followers.&nbsp; It is a Trading Card Game (TCG) which features cards as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) and <a href="https://playa3ull.games/coin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">3ULL coin</a> integration.&nbsp; The game is heavily inspired by <a href="https://magic.wizards.com/en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Magic: The Gathering</a>, <a href="https://hearthstone.blizzard.com/en-gb" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hearthstone</a> and other similar online card games.
&nbsp;
Below, you&rsquo;ll find a starter&rsquo;s guide to ORDINEM.&nbsp; Let&rsquo;s go!

&nbsp;
<h2>What are the basic game rules?</h2>
<img src="https://cms.playa3ull.games/assets/120f02c5-8509-4ce2-91bc-aba3cfa18435?width=2560&amp;height=1440" alt="Declaring Attacks on Ordinem">
&nbsp;
<a href="https://playa3ull.games/games/ordinem" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ORDINEM</a> challenges players to strategically play cards in battle, giving them the best opportunity to defeat the opposing player. All cards have archetypes, which determine how you use them on the battlefield. Followers, for example, are your troops with strength (attack) and resilience (hit point).&nbsp; They also have a 'thread cost', determining how many threads you need to put onto the frontier. For a full breakdown of the rulebook, <a href="https://ordinem.playa3ull.games/rulebook" target="_blank" rel="noopener">click here</a>.&nbsp; Below are card archetypes that can be found in ORDINEM. 
Follower
Followers are &lsquo;creatures&rsquo; or &lsquo;minions&rsquo; that can be summoned.&nbsp; Followers have Strength and Resilience. Strength is how much damage the follower deals when it attacks, and Resilience is how much it can take. If Resilience is ever 0, the Follower is destroyed.
&nbsp;
Relic
Relics are mechanical contraptions that serve various purposes. They stay on the Frontier and usually have passive or activated abilities.
&nbsp;
Twine
Twines are magical objects or enhancements made from woven threads of magic. They stay on the Frontier to give permanent or repeating effects.
&nbsp;
Spell
Magical spells are played for a &lsquo;one-off&rsquo; dazzling effect. They don't stay in the Frontier.
&nbsp;
Weave
Weaves are your primary Thread sources. You put them into the Frontier by Enweaving at the start of your turn.
&nbsp;
More information about the order of play can be <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/108TChz9l9Nf-TMELSy1TX_cf-9i5gzSP0TNoyyuk2e4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">found here</a>. ORDINEM has many exciting blockchain integrations, including the cards themselves acting as NFTs.
&nbsp;
<h2>What Web3 elements make ORDINEM unique?</h2>
<img src="https://cms.playa3ull.games/assets/8d198061-4d88-48b5-8029-c22106c1e910?width=1726&amp;height=837" alt="Nft Packs for Ordinem">
&nbsp;
NFT games like ORDINEM boast many advantages over traditional video games.&nbsp; For instance, cards and packs in ORDINEM are NFTs that cement the idea of true player ownership. These NFTs give players the freedom to hold and trade their cards on the open marketplace using PLAYA3ULL GAMES&rsquo; in-game cryptocurrency <a href="https://playa3ull.games/coin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">3ULL coin</a>.&nbsp; Being NFTs also enables players to track the pack's history from when it was created to any other trading activity the NFT may have gone through before its current listing.
&nbsp;
ORDINEM card packs can only be purchased with 3ULL coin, thus increasing the coin's utility and staying true to PLAYA3ULL GAMES&rsquo; commitment of 30 games in 10 years using the 3ULL coin as the native in-game currency.
&nbsp;
Another exciting blockchain element is the Play-to-Earn aspect of ORDINEM.&nbsp; Compete against other players in intense PvP Matches (Casual and Ranked Mode) and be rewarded! Each victory gives you a chance to be rewarded with an ORDINEM ORIGINS Card Pack. Players can earn multiple weekly ORIGIN Card Packs for competing in PvP matches.
&nbsp;
Note: After each consecutive Card Pack is earned, the drop rate of card packs is reduced slightly! This resets weekly.
&nbsp;

Top 8 Blockchain Game Companies You MUST FOLLOW

<a href="https://www.chainalysis.com/blog/blockchain-gaming/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Blockchain gaming</a> has been on a rollercoaster of a ride since its inception.&nbsp; From &lsquo;<a href="https://www.blog.udonis.co/mobile-marketing/mobile-games/play-to-earn-games" target="_blank" rel="noopener">play-to-earn</a>&rsquo; to &lsquo;<a href="https://www.coingecko.com/learn/what-is-tap-2-earn-crypto-top-tap-to-earn-games" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tap-to-earn</a>,&rsquo; and now the general term of blockchain games.&nbsp; The new wave of Web3 games is taking Web2 fundamentals and years of hard work to create the best gaming experience for users that also reward their time spent. This shift redefines gaming by blending high-quality visuals built in Unreal Engine 5 with blockchain technology offering true asset ownership for users. Below, details the seismic shift in blockchain games. GLHF! 
<h2 dir="ltr">Telegram&rsquo;s tap-to-earn rise in popularity&nbsp;</h2>
Users may have heard of the latest craze &lsquo;tap-to-earn&rsquo; which has gained popularity in the blockchain gaming space due to <a href="https://core.telegram.org/bots/games" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Telegram allowing games</a> natively in their app.&nbsp; With over 950 million users, one of Telegram&rsquo;s most prolific games &lsquo;<a href="https://hamsterkombatgame.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hamster Kombat</a>&rsquo; soared to over 300 million users.&nbsp; Additionally newcomer &lsquo;<a href="https://catizen.ai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Catizen</a>&rsquo;&nbsp; has accumulated over 27 million daily active users.&nbsp; A flurry of new mobile-friendly games have now crash landed into Telegram, but why?
&nbsp;
&lsquo;Tap-to-earn&rsquo; offers a simple and accessible way for users to engage with blockchain applications and earn tokens with minimal effort. It incentivises participation and interaction through easy tasks and constant activity, making it appealing to crypto enthusiasts and newcomers. Unlike other games, all gamers need is the Telegram app and a phone with an internet connection to play.
&nbsp;
With &lsquo;tap-to-earn&rsquo; essentially replacing the &lsquo;play-to-earn&rsquo; model, many users still believe the gameplay mechanics aren&rsquo;t <a href="https://decrypt.co/249433/telegrams-tap-to-earn-gaming-craze-falling-short" target="_blank" rel="noopener">strong enough for long term sustainable growth</a> for these games. With all hyped up blockchain game narratives, users must take caution to zoom out and assess the longevity of projects.&nbsp; Games that have proven fundamental gaming models should be prioritised.
<img src="https://cms.playa3ull.games/assets/8a320b21-e511-473a-a853-d9abe666997e?width=757&amp;height=456" alt="Hamster Koin">
Hamster Kombat ignited the popularity of tap-to-earn games.
&nbsp;
<h2 dir="ltr">Bringing Web2 fundamentals into blockchain gaming</h2>
&nbsp;
Blockchain gaming integrates fundamentals taken from Web2 into a new digital landscape. These include fun multiplayer aspects, <a href="https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/f2p" target="_blank" rel="noopener">free-to-play</a>, and higher-quality games to match the current state of video games. <a href="https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/browse?q=blockchain&amp;sortBy=relevancy&amp;sortDir=DESC&amp;count=40" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Epic Games Store</a> has embraced blockchain gaming by showcasing these new innovations. Unlike previous generations of blockchain gaming that focused on simple browser-clicking games, new blockchain games are built in <a href="https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/unreal-engine-5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Unreal Engine 5</a> and prioritise enjoyment over rewards.
&nbsp;
A key aspect of blockchain gaming is the shift from traditional play-to-earn models to more dynamic systems. While <a href="https://www.fortnite.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fortnite</a> and <a href="https://www.roblox.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Roblox</a> have popularised cosmetic skins and in-game purchases, blockchain technology takes this a step further. Blockchain technology has introduced actual ownership of digital assets through <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-fungible_token#:~:text=A%20non%2Dfungible%20token%20(NFT,to%20be%20sold%20and%20traded." target="_blank" rel="noopener">Non-Fungible Tokens</a> (NFTs) and the potential for players to earn from their gameplay via tokens.
&nbsp;
Blockchain companies like PLAYA3ULL GAMES will release 30 games in 10 years that all utilise the <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/playa3ull/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">3ULL coin</a>. As blockchain gaming evolves, it will blend the best of Web2 practices with advanced blockchain technology to create immersive and rewarding experiences gamers have yearned for.

Unreal Engine 5 graphics are being prioritised in blockchain gaming.

To offset the energy used to power blockchain technology, PLAYA3ULL GAMES has sponsored planting 6,526 trees in areas threatened by deforestation across five countries. An additional number of trees will soon follow to match the number of PLAYA3ULL GAMES Nodes recently sold. PLAYA3ULL GAMES' reforestation efforts will remove 2,017 tons of atmosphere-warming carbon dioxide.
&nbsp;
Evertreen is an impact-driven startup on a mission to recover lost forests at scale using technology and incentive systems structured around the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Their innovative app, which uses satellite imagery tracking, allows individuals and businesses to fund the planting of real trees. The app provides updates on the growth and health of the trees, giving funders a tangible way to see the impact of their contributions.
&nbsp;
Since 2020, Evertreen has coordinated the planting of over 1.17 million trees across 14 countries, including the Philippines, India, Madagascar, Kenya, Ethiopia, Mozambique, the United States and more. Their reforestation projects restore native species in areas threatened by deforestation and land degradation. Beyond absorbing over 220,000 tons of carbon dioxide, these vital projects have also generated over 146,000 working hours to alleviate poverty by providing employment opportunities for local farmers who gain purpose in planting and caring for the restored forests. Moreover, reforestation supports biodiversity by creating habitats for various species, and it helps regulate water cycles, prevent soil erosion and improve air quality.
&nbsp;
Evertreen's innovative approach empowers partners like PLAYA3ULL GAMES and you to take tangible climate action. Together, we can make forests flourish for future generations. Evertreen's network of certified local farmers, chosen for their expertise in selecting native species matched to regional soils and climates, is a testament to the power of collective action.
&nbsp;
With esteemed partners like Evertreen, who share our vision of sustainability, PLAYA3ULL GAMES is poised to implement scalable solutions that benefit both our business and the planet. Reforestation, a crucial element in any strategy to draw down atmospheric carbon and restore precious forests, is at the heart of our Earth Day celebration. We are proud to announce that we are funding over 6,500 trees, a significant step towards a greener future.
&nbsp;
Together our companies share an unwavering commitment to environmental sustainability and finding innovative ways to combat pressing issues like deforestation, biodiversity decline and carbon emissions.
&nbsp;
The trees planted this Earth Day are only the beginning. As PLAYA3ULL GAMES continues expanding, we plan to integrate additional eco-friendly practices across our operations. These initiatives include matching all future node sales with reforested trees and other policies. From this day forward, a tree will be planted for every PLAYA3ULL GAMES Node purchased.
&nbsp;
This Earth Day collaboration highlights PLAYA3ULL GAMES' dedication to minimising the environmental impact of blockchain technology. By joining forces with sustainability leaders like Evertreen, we aim to set the standard for ecological responsibility in blockchain gaming.
&nbsp;
While PLAYA3ULL GAMES pushes gaming innovation further, we remain committed to ensuring environmental sustainability remains a core value. This Earth Day initiative represents the first step in an ambitious, long-term journey towards carbon neutrality. We are committed to making a significant and lasting impact on the environment.&nbsp;

New Abilities
