introduction

Evolution of the Gaming World

The introduction of smartphones has significantly transformed various industries, including gaming. What was once perceived as idle time, such as breaks at work or commutes on buses, subways, or trains, has now become an opportunity for the next quick gaming session.

The impact of mobile gaming has surpassed initial expectations, becoming the most lucrative market for both developers and game studios. Suddenly, the world turned its head towards casual gaming, struck by the possibility of being able to play anytime, anywhere.

This paved the way for the emergence of various genres, ranging from hypercasual games, card battlers to strategy games. All these new emerging genres had to come up with their fitting monetization models, never seen before by the gaming industry. And with each new genre, a slightly new type of player emerged.

The Future of Single Player Games with Leaderboards

The gaming industry is in a constant quest for new ways to attract players and monetize their products. While early blockchain-based titles often leaned towards a Pay-to-Win model with the addition of grinding disguised under the Play-to-Earn label, a new era of blockchain gaming is emerging.
By leveraging blockchain technology, games can offer seamless and fair gameplay, with every piece of data securely stored on a public blockchain. The introduction of public leaderboards, where players from all over the world compete for real-world prizes, represents the natural progression of blockchain gaming. The security and fairness of these competitions are ensured by blockchain-based solutions such as Smart Contracts and In-Game Oracles. Moreover, the gameplay experience is further safeguarded by the Server-Authority design, preventing players from tampering with their inputs on the client side.
The growth of the on-chain gaming sector will become a significant branch of the wider gaming industry. Elympics is uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between these two worlds, leveraging their expertise and providing the necessary infrastructure and support for developers and studios seeking to enter the future of competitive gaming.
With Elympics, developers can tap into the potential of blockchain technology, creating immersive and engaging games that combine the benefits of on-chain security and fairness with the thrill of competitive gameplay.
The future of gaming is here, and Elympics is at the forefront, empowering developers to shape the next generation of gaming experiences.

Taking the Next Step

Monetized Leaderboards

The missing element was the lack of incentive to master the game.

Consider a simple yet rewarding casual game, perfectly suited for quick gaming sessions with its simplistic design and straightforward rules. Now, imagine adding Monetized Leaderboards to the equation. In this scenario, the game would attract a new breed of player - highly competitive individuals driven to master the game not only for the sake of sheer satisfaction, but also to win real world prizes.

By attracting players who are willing to take risks and engage in fair competition, we ignite the creation of a network effect. This, in turn, triggers a snowball effect, leading to long-term growth and increased player retention.

Paid competitive gaming

The New Game Economy

The fair way of monetizing in-game competition

The incentive mechanisms of Paid Competitive Gaming (PCG) approach are specifically designed to create a positive feedback loop. Every victory brings the player closer to the final reward or grants immediate rewards at the end of the game session, and every defeat makes them want to take another try.

To participate in the competition, players are motivated to put their resources at stake, whether it's time, money, or in-game currency. This fundamental principle fuels the drive to master the game and strive for the top. The satisfaction of being at the pinnacle is amplified by rewarding players for their skillset and dedication with Real World Prizes, such as valuable items, pooled stakes, or convertible in-game currency.

The simplicity of creation

Less build Struggle, more design Juggle

Development paradigm never before seen by the industry

The urge to explore new ways of building games, as well as new monetization models are what has been fueling mobile gaming industry for over a decade. Simple to design and build usually means simple to understand for players (i.e. hypercasual titles). Secure and fair at its core usually means complicated to create, and potentially to use. Those two paradigms use to be mutually exclusive. With Elympics, designers are empowered to bring their creative vision to life, without being restricted and held back by technology.

Small studios, indie developers, and even beginners can bring their imaginative gameplay concepts to life by producing their game and releasing it to the market.
