Cryptocurrencies like BTCV are the fuel to the next gaming revolution

Cryptocurrencies have become a global phenomenon in the past couple of years with a promise to overhaul numerous industries. One of those industries is online gaming where the adoption seems more immediate than in the others.

Just to give a context on how popular cryptos are with gamers, there’s a big crossover between the gaming audience and the cryptocurrency enthusiasts. An online study shows that 55% of millennial gamers own cryptocurrencies in some form when compared to just 5% of all millennials. This swollen-center Venn diagram has likely helped fuel the push for new ways of incorporating cryptocurrencies into video games. This keeps up with the course of the gaming industry being the first to adopt numerous technology trends, including crypto mining. 

Cryptocurrencies could potentially solve a number of problems related to in-game transactions like eliminating fraudulent items, creating scarcity, and incentivizing more purchase by making items transferable across multiple games.

The role cryptocurrencies can play in online gaming

In online gaming, monetization strategies adopted are in the form of in-app purchases, in-app advertising, and affiliate or referral marketing. In-app purchases allow players to buy something directly in the game, such as coins, extra lives, and custom characters. These purchases can be done in cryptocurrencies. Many online games offer in-app advertising and reward their users for completing specific tasks like watching video ads and filling surveys to earn cryptocurrencies. Recently, Affiliate marketing has taken the gaming world by a storm where players have to click affiliate links and banners to refer a friend, earn rewards, and sign up for a free offer. The affiliate marketing incentivizing infrastructure can be powered by cryptocurrencies. 

In the context of gaming, cryptocurrencies offer its users cross-border transactional abilities, instant transactions, possibilities of anonymity, and security. Additionally, rewards are often a pivotal tool to maximize user engagement. Gamers often have access to an archive of modifications, including outfits, weaponry, maps, and assistance. Users complete in-game tasks and receive fictional coins, which can be used to shop in the archive. Now, cryptocurrencies provide an avenue to substitute a game’s fictional coin with cryptos that hold monetary value. 

Bitcoin Vault’s Reversible Transaction feature to help gaming transactions 

Bitcoin Vault (BTCV) was launched in 2019 as an alpha chain. It is a cryptocurrency based on the SHA-256 algorithm and built with user security as a priority. Within a year of its release saw them releasing innovative features like enabling reversible transactions on their blockchain. In fact they were the first cryptocurrency to allow users to cancel transactions, owing to their proprietary feature that confirms payments within 144 blocks, allowing users a time of about 24 hours. 

The reversible transaction feature of Bitcoin Vault (BTCV) could especially prove useful in implementing in-game assets. This feature protects the gaming community from losing their funds in common key thefts, user mistakes or errors, and bugs. 

BTCV leading the charge to crypto adoption in gaming 

To propel the convergence of the crypto and gaming industry BTCV has partnered with ESE Entertainment for the production of a series called Skillz Vault, which is based on a similar format to that of X-factor. The focus will be amateur gamers hailing from nationalities such as Chinese, Japanese, South Korean, Vietnamese, and Brazilian. 

Bitcoin Vault is going to use this opportunity to demonstrate its technical capabilities to the gaming world and drive even more gamers towards cryptocurrencies. To support the gaming community, Bitcoin Vault in association with Skull Vault are raising a prize pool as a community driven effort. Supporters of the fans of gamers and the gaming community in general can donate to the pool to help increase the prize fund for the event. Additionally, BTCV is already providing services in which it’s users can send Gift Cards using Freewallet. Also, goods can be purchased through their integration of Exeno Store.

Firework Games Studio Builds its first Battle Royale Game – SPARK ERA, with Security and Stability on AWS

Avatar

Published

on

Firework Games has been working with the leading cloud infrastructure provider Amazon Web Services (AWS) on the upcoming release of the first-ever 3D space battle-royale game embedded with a reinforcement learning element (Companion NPC AI). Since the last article  about the SPARK ERA – AI-Enhanced NPCs, Firework Games has been working on integrating and introducing this feature for the first time in a galactic-based battle-royale MMO game.

Firework Games has worked very closely with AWS to bring this innovative feature to players. The integration of AWS services such as Amazon EC2, Amazon S3, Amazon RDS, Auto Scaling has allowed the studio to build a scalable and reliable game server architecture that can handle the high concurrency and intense load expected during the launch of SPARK ERA. In the upcoming days, Firework Games plans to use AWS’s AI / ML services to provide an enriched player experience by automatically extracting in-game information like character names, weapons, and gear from images and text within game videos.

Using the AWS Enterprise On-Ramp support plan, the studio was able to quickly reap the benefits of a well-planned approach through infrastructure event management (IEM), AWS best practice guidance and communicating with global AWS experts to ensure SPARK ERA’s security and stability. In particular, AWS GPU cloud services are now helping the studio to accelerate their AI models. 

“Integrating AWS’s services into our game architecture has allowed us to focus on what we do best—building an amazing 3D space battle royale game with companion NPC AI,” said Moses Ip, CEO of Firework Games. “We are excited to be able to leverage the power of AWS to bring even more innovation to our players.”

About Firework Games

Firework Games is a game development company committed to using cutting-edge technology in its games. The infrastructure is built with gaming in mind, allowing for unique gameplay experiences. Immersion and mobile apps are emphasized at the Studio, allowing players easy access to our games while integrating innovation throughout our ecosystem into the gaming business.

R&D is also the firm’s major focus. The goal is to create an immersive metaverse predicted by AI based on each user’s prior behavior. While users can be in the same dimension, their perception is unique — tailored to each user’s desires. In brief, our developers are former Tencent and NetEase, and we have AI scientists in California. The first game that we developed is Spark ERA – Echo to Universe. The beta version is currently open on PC/VR, and the official launch of the Android/iOS in August 2022.
