Arc8 - Play arcade games, win matches & earn tokens

Introduction

There is no industry that can compare to the growth of the gaming industry. Gaming generated 198 billion dollars in revenue in 2021 and the growth will only continue. According to the team of GAMEE, they even predict that the game market will grow to more than 200 billion dollars in 2024. Arc8 already reached an astonishing 100,000 users in less than 24 hours. 

With the development of blockchain, there are more possibilities and chances to expand games onto the blockchain. GAMEE is a play-and-earn mobile gaming platform which attracted over 40 million users worldwide who have played over 6 billion games. Partners can enter this digital arcade and integrate their token as in-game rewards, but also branded games or sponsor deals for exclusive NFT-content. GAMEE wants to be the place to be for all your mobile gaming needs.

Note, that they market themselves as play-and-earn, instead of play-to-earn. Why? They want to serve one and only purpose: entertainment. Attracting users solemnly to earn isn’t enough to conquer the gaming industry. The gaming experience must come first, only then can the earning possibilities be introduced. 

GAMEE

GAMEE is the subsidiary of Animoca Brands, a well-known gaming software company located in Hong Kong. Its mission is to create engaging gaming applications, using blockchain technology. They have worked with well-known projects in the field, such as The Sandbox, and they are also invested in Axie Infinity. The platform of GAMEE itself launched 3 different projects, at the time of writing:

• Arc8 App

• G-Bot Metaverse

• Prizes App

Gameplay

Arc8 has 10 immersive and hyper-casual games where players can play and earn different awards across multiple style games within the platform. The place where esports meet crypto gaming. One of the rewards is the in-game currency, $GMEE. Other rewards could be other tokens or NFTs established through partnerships. The virtual arcade is updated regularly, and they aim to add up to 50 games, including live multiplayer gamers. 

Seasons

To enhance the competition, Arc8 uses different seasons. The best player in every season gets the biggest rewards. During every season, players compete in tournaments and different matches in order to get ranked by their skill level. Based on this level, players will compete against each other in a 1v1 battle. The leaderboard and ranks are different in every individual game. 

Player experience

The player experience is powered by the native token $GMEE. This is used to access the tournaments, as well as the 1v1 matches. But you can also earn GMEE-tokens by performing daily in-game tasks. 

1V1

Are you ready to challenge your opponent? You will be matched based on their skill level in order to join a 1v1 battle. The entrance fee is paid in GMEE-tokens. GAMEE charges a platform fee up to 20% for hosting a match. Prize pools are created from these fees and consist only of GMEE-tokens.

Tournament

These time-limited tournaments are skill-based games for multiple players of áll levels. Just like the 1v1 battles, you pay an entrance fee of GMEE-tokens to participate. But the stakes are higher, you can also earn sponsor tokens or sponsored NFTs thanks to partnerships. 

Sponsored Tournament

Like the regular tournaments, these battles are skill-based for multiple players of all levels. Only the highest score by each player is uploaded to the leaderboard. In these sponsored tournaments you can earn GMEE-tokens, sponsor tokens, or sponsor NFTs. Note that the prize pool is fixed and communicated before the start of the tournament. 

Premium Experience

The team is working hard to release a premium experience, in which NFT-holders get a gamified utility exclusive for their NFTs. More information is to be announced soon!

Arc8 Hubs

The virtual environment of Arc8 is organized around Hubs owned by the community. These hubs are NFT’s representing a virtual piece of real estate. Do you own one of these NFTs?

Arc8 is a combination of content from third-party creators as well as their own games. Over time, their goal is to offer up to 50 games, including multiplayer gameplays.

Assets & Ecosystem

The backbone of Arc8 is the in-game utility token $GAMEE. It is used for different kinds of in-game aspects, such as:

• Access games

• Access Hubs

• Purchase NFTs

• Rewards

• In-game marketplace

$GAMEE has a total supply of 3,180,000,000 tokens which will be gradually released as the utility of the token gets more usage inside the gaming platform. A part of these tokens will be allocated to the treasury, so people can continue earning tokens while playing a wide variety of games. 

An important part of their ecosystem is the sponsorships and collaboration with all kinds of Web3 projects. Hereby, they can implement the use of NFT rewards from various companies and other token rewards to create a diverse and multi-leveled gaming platform. 

In-game marketplace

GAMEE has an in-game marketplace where you can buy and trade unique NFTs. However, this rather small marketplace is now limited to G-Bots, another project released by GAMEE. In the future, this marketplace might function as a cross-game NFT marketplace where you can trade your valuable assets.

At the time of writing, $GMEE is tradable on several decentralized and centralized exchanges:
