Blockchain Gaming —
on an agnostically particulate decentralized ecosystem for blockchain gaming
While gaming may be only second to DeFi in drawing interest and income towards blockchain developers, the amount of excitement around blockchain-crypto-gaming has been barely tapped. There is a camouflaged strategy that is parting the way forward into the open that starts today at Polyinet Games. They are looking to scoop the crypto enthusiasm that continues with the recent mania of yield farming into gaming the DeFi bloom. Cointelegraph published, “Ultimately, the [Polyient] ecosystem will extend to include decentralized finance, or DeFi, style lockups, and third-party applications built on top of the assets.” You may suspect that I am over-hyping the booming possibilities but in the end you may indeed imagine connected with this prospect lay an innumerable number of third party options that you might not have even chanced across.
For Polyient Games, a division within the direct investment arm of Polyient Labs, everything starts today. 12,000 of their scare Founders Keys (PGFKs) will go, first come first served. Using a smart contract, purchasers can convert the PGFK into 1,000 fungible particles (XPGP). These particles will be the utility token for Polyient Games’ ecosystem. With this launch and sale, Polyient Games can turn it’s focus onto it’s third party driven ecosystem, that brings together leaders in the technical space, leading blockchain games concerns and decentralized finance application creators. This return will help to advance the adoption and use cases of the NFT ( non-fungible token ) asset class of end game items, collectible instances as well as stand alone ones that can be used in DeFi. They believe they will turn NFT collectability into NFT utility. Their Founder Keys provides lifetime membership awards, early access to products and receipt from it’s rewards engine for airdrops and other deposits. That vault giving lifetime rewards all starts today. See this link for more information.
Polyient Games expects to go live in Q4 2020. They do not expect to be on- boarding Call of Duty or Fortnight anytime soon. Instead, they seek to bring the average utility token crypto user into gaming as an on ramp towards large scale DeFi like crypto based Indie gaming where the more PGFKs you stack the more you get out. They are hedging their bets that founders will bring in other users and propel their built in feedback loops. They have six partner games’ platforms and seven technical partners listed currently on their website including Sandbox and Axie Infinity.
Polyient Games sees the crypto enthusiasts’ knowledge of tokenomics as a value add to help guide and carve out blockchain gaming by easy facilitation of movement through these loops on their system that include interest in end game currencies associated with adjacent fungibles to be breed and swapped on their DEX. “They ( crypto holders) are going to understand token economies and they are eventually going to play your game.” Polyient Games intends to implement a random number based approach that has some implication for the adoption and adaption of DeFi. They have a path with curves to a destination but they do need to roll it out of the barn.
Polyient Games intends to go live with AvaLabs and move functionality over onto Avalanche!
One might imagine Gün selling more of his avalanche art,
Wonton establishing valuable Avalanche memes,
and Cardona integrating the NFT tech…
but can blockchain gaming and DeFi form a more perfect union?
Polyient Games is open to third party innovations so if you try to imagine how these may appear on Avalanche by using the randomness in Polyient’s DeFi productions married to the probabilistic sampling of Avalanche consensus you may realize some interesting possibilities for governance tokens.
Let’s say that there is a governance question of whether to raise or not the minting rate of $AVAX and lets say there are a bunch of different proposals of the actual number to be adjusted to at a given time…
One way to decide, is to simply poll the entire $AVAX user population, on Avalanche, and this could happen following the random sampling from the snow family of protocols or it could be made into a game that converges onto an answer where “virtuosity” might be defined within the game based off of some knowledge about actual avalanche node behavior. I am not proposing this seriously but it is a possibility for a use later on.
Polyient Games expects stacking more PGFKs to lead to increased trust. Staking PGFKs being swapped for $AVAX may lead to a tighter trust “grippablity” because the combo of PGFKs serving as both the transactional unit for NFT sales and as the main-trading pair for fungible tokens listed on the Games’ DEX means an individual will be able govern both their own interest in particular groups of NFTs and the fungibility of that interest. They will be able to establish their own unique units of account. These personalized accounts may if successful enough to attract development on Avalanche subnets could result and become useful in building up higher liquidity assemblages that Polyient Games may want to fold into their peer-to-peer system and $AVAX users could use to both stake and participate in DeFi. This dual-state token combination enables all kinds of angles of directionality that were not possible with other non-paired digital asset implementations!!
And yet here is another way to full-fill the goal of actually putting the power into the hands of the Polyient Games’ user.
Let me skectch a cyberphysical system in which polyient NFT gaming may become the means to operate sophisticated DeFi yield farming products that may incorporate Chainlink and thus fully agree with the answer to the question NFT and DeFi? - yes indeed.
About a decade ago I tried to interest others in making games with the hand exerciser powerball. There was then very little interest and now 10 years later there is still very little development of using the hand operated powerball as an input device for gaming, but as the base for a crypto-cyber-physical-system it offers some interesting ways to create games that turn in-game currencies into NFTs that in turn may be traded for fungibles which can increase the value of the games themselves. It becomes possible to begin to imagine how decentralized DeFi games may be designed if the risks can be fully and comprehensively explained and proved.
I am sure there are some who have some clear ideas of how these integrations are going to look with Avalanche but the random possibilities are quite new and theoretically unexplored.
All of these powerball gyro games shown above use only one dimension of the physical operation of the gyro.
The gyro spins in two independent directions and in fact by a quick twist of the wrist the user can change the direction of spinning of the gyro in the second degree of spinning freedom. If you attach a coil of wire around the gyro one can record and register how the operator is spinning the device because there is a magnet that has been placed on the rotor. And through these coils one can also put programmable force on the turning interoperability of the device. This would allow all kinds of games to be imagined. Also, if the motions of the devices are associated with the formation of NFTs or fungible tokens then all kinds of games and dynamics can be programmed where physical input of the user influences the token price or other parameters. This is just the start of DeFi yield farm gaming!!
Just imagine using a Chainlink oracle to send signals to influence the direction that gamers could physically spin the device or have a Polyient Games Partner make an NFT that is associated with special moves that users make during the operation of the device during a “game” — the game is now only a game in name. It is actually DeFi in your hands.
Since Polyient fungibile options include in-game currencies and other NFT-adjacent tokens from Polyient Games’ portfolio of startups and partner networks, Avalanche NFTs which may be connected to $AVAX in a particular gaming subnet may result in a form of superfluidity of XPGPs vortexing $AVAX towards singular gains as NFT transactions increase in markets beyond the actual operation of the game.
Thus the $AVAX -$XPGP swap market may form a pool side oasis for viewing these NFTs transactions. We will need a user interface to view all of these NFTS because explorers would be much more interesting if we could see representations of the NFT s being bought and sold in addition to the transaction IDs and amounts transferred.
NFTs would no longer be siloed, there could be end game assets that would be used in the next game or ones that could be traded to other gamers, which would or could be released by programmed cyberphysical manipulation. This kind of innovation could help to build up feedback loops already being imagined in the Polyient Games ecosystem.
Now while these possibilities may be other worldly there are more down to earth applications that may be more likely to come to fruition — esports for example — may begin to take off and this market is likely to a large part of the Polyient Games portfolio.
Beyond this, with an Ethereum- Avalanche bridge — one can expect to see some really new games and NFT uses as the high gas fees on Ethereum do not exist on Avalanche and the speed with which the programs will run is not even comparable. There are many new way to add decentralized layers on to Web 2.0. You should carve your own…
The sale continues until the 22nd of September so you have plenty of time to do some research and decide if you think NFT DeFi with Polyient Games is something you are interested in or not.
