The Buff concept of rewarding gamers just for gaming is appealing enough to attract a lot of interest. But what makes the project sustainable is the establishment of a unique economy to facilitate the flow and generation of wealth between players, providers and Buff itself. The creation of such a stable system has required a concrete and balanced model of incentives — an entire ecosystem in-and-of itself.

The result of this work is a detailed path towards self-sustaining success in which all parties have a stake and earn their rewards. As the economy of a nation is maintained by an every-flowing cycle and symbiotic relationship between natural resources, manufacturing, consumers and regulators, so is Buff’s ecosystem built on four main groups driven by incentive to interact with one another and generate wealth:

· Gamers earn Buff coins by playing as usual in a seamless rewards program without any additional hardware. They can spend this new wealth on virtual products, engage in trade with other users or exchange it for other cryptocurrencies and fiat money.

· Game asset traders benefit from a trading platform for virtual goods and Buff itself, which will purchase digital items in bulk.

· Game publishers and developers meet demand with supply. With Buff, they enjoy increased exposure to their brands and boosts to in-game sales through Buff’s coin, store and app.

· Legacy sponsors get more opportunities to market their brands to the already-huge but always-growing gamer community.

As such, the allocation of Buff coins to gamers as a loyalty reward has also been carefully examined and mathematically fine-tuned after collecting data on two case study games: “Dota 2” and “League of Legends.” The amount of Buff coins awarded to gamers depends on the game (Buff only supports games of skill — the more skill required, the higher the rewards), in-game victories or losses, a player’s progress through the game and that player’s Buff tier.

Buff incentivizes more gameplay with its tier system that allows players to gradually “level up” their Buff profiles, with each tier offering higher rewards for in-game achievements.

Buff’s algorithm that governs the allocation of coins has shown significant powers of machine learning that have improved its performance overtime allowing skill-based game events to be accurately judged and rewarded accordingly.

Based on advanced technology and sound economic principles, the Buff ecosystem is a safe bet on growth and every-increasing value for gamers and publishers alike. It’s what every economy is all about.
