The team at Guardian have been working with leading web3 gaming platforms for the last few years to create groundbreaking GameFi infrastructure. Blockchain gaming is growing so fast that it’s hard to keep up but having listened to many different people during our product development cycle, a few key themes emerge with predictable consistency.

High cost, low quality experience for gamers

Many users in Web3 gaming are put off by the high costs of NFTs, without which the in-game experience and earnings potential are severely impacted. If you can’t afford to play then you’re going to go elsewhere — if gamers go elsewhere, titles will never pick up the momentum required to achieve mass adoption. This is a significant and often terminal problem for many games.

The lost asset graveyard

Let’s assume you’ve managed to scrape together enough crypto to purchase an NFT — you could easily lose it forever due to the way that keys/seed phrases are often implemented and not backed up. Gamers are highly vulnerable to loss, due to a lack of effective non-EVM recovery solutions. This technology is difficult to use and often very inflexible.

Functionality for publishers is compromised

What does a Web3 publisher/studio want for its game? Adoption, and for people to enjoy it, mainly — but also to be able to set rules, controls and policies that make the experience better for everyone whilst minimizing the risk of fraudulent activities from bad actors.

Functionality, flexibility and user experience need a significant upgrade across the board.

Guardian’s programmable Gaming platform

Guardian’s gaming platform inside Polemos is designed ultimately to make gaming more enjoyable and more inclusive. It is completely plug and play and has the fastest time to market for any game with minimal effort to seamlessly integrate and enhance.

Like other Guardian products it is bullet-proof and delivers military grade security. It is also and is ready to scale exponentially to millions or even billions of gamers.

Guardian’s wallet API and policy generates your NFT and gaming wallets, protects user accounts and ensures your customer experience is automated, initiative and ultimately realised through enforceable rules.

As a Guardian gaming customer you (the publisher) have the ability to send, mint, store, breed, protect, stake, lend, rent, claim, burn, redeem and pay any token or NFT.

It’s this technology that currently powers Polemos’ Forge and will be rolling out to many other publishers over the next few months. Polemos Forge powered by Guardian:

It’s fully programmable

Guardian’s smart contract with MPC dWallet and SuperNode secure signing infrastructure accelerates your path into Web3, the metaverse and gaming on your terms. You can apply any workflow or automated set of rules, including signing into any dapp, meaning you own the user experience.

It’s incredibly quick to stand up and implement

If you need the best solution but can’t wait for costly customisation and development lifts, you need to talk to us. With Guardian you’re able to build and launch quickly and deliver intuitive, rapid onboarding for both new users and mainstream gamers.

It delivers the best UX for gamers

As well as embedded wallet capability and NFT lending and rental facilities built-in, Guardian gaming infrastructure also has a number of in-built features created with gamers in mind. For example, you can offer free trials and scholarships to accelerate growth, while protecting your assets. Once the free trial or scholarship course has ended Guardian’s platform is built to ensure you will always be able to get back your DAO assets.

It is future proof

We’ve built Guardian to scale to billions of gamers. It is chain agnostic, completely modular and can work as an infrastructure layer with whatever technology or token you have chosen to use.
