This assertion always brings to our consciousness the fact that boredom is an undeniable phenomenon constantly encountered by humans and which also has it’s own proper remedy which must be administered to it in the proper proportion from time to time.Thus gaming, according to psychologists is quintessential for the human being to maintain a balance psychological well being and kill boredom and depression. Thus, over the years humanity have used gaming as a way to kill boredom and as well as a way to balance their emotional/psychological well being. The act of gaming however, have changed a lot over the years right from the ancient to the medieval down to the modern period. Gaming has however, through the years metamorphosed from the totally analogue to the highly digital.

Today the gaming industry is a multi-billion dollar industry which generates a lot of money for those into it especially since the year 2010, but just as every other industry or sector in the world, as it continues to grow so does the challenges that tries to pull it backwards. A major challenge of the gaming industry today is the centralized nature of game distribution. This issue arises as a result of the fact that game distribution management is solely controlled by few platforms who in turn charge emerging game inventors and developers who cannot create the necessary publicity for their inventions themselves a huge sum of money. This excessive charges from game distribution platforms usually discourage a lot of upcoming inventors and many in the end have no option than to abandone their amazing projects. The aforementioned challenges and many others therefore, creates the necessity which as they say "is the mother of inventions" to build a suitable system that will provide a conducive atmosphere where both gamers, developers as well as the distributors themselves can easily interact.

The EOT protocol has three major components which are: The incentive module, game discovery channel and developer system. Now let’s take a look at these components of the Eot protocol below.
