Ensuring a lively network from the moment of launch, Beam is opening its gates to dozens of products and a strong set of games. Part of these products are developed by core contributors in the Merit Circle ecosystem whereas others are either provided by the overarching network Avalanche or the games deploying on Beam.

Let’s find out what these products entail, and why they are a great fit for Beam.

Games on Beam

A strong lineup of games is launching on Beam, making us feel proud and excited. These games are confirmed to launch on Beam. The initial conversations with the game studios in our network have been nothing short of promising. To not raise any expectations, games launching on Beam will only be shared when confirmed.

Trial Xtreme

The studio known for creating the widely acclaimed game Trial Xtreme, Gameplay Galaxy, is breaking new ground by developing the world’s first decentralized competitive gaming ecosystem. Their flagship game, Trial Xtreme, will be launched on Beam. This thrilling racing game has already garnered over 250 million downloads worldwide and has topped the charts in various countries and app stores.

Trial Xtreme is currently preparing to launch their closed alpha to gather feedback from a first set of users. Later down the road, the full game will launch allowing the players to be part of the game ecosystem and influence the way the game will be played by the entire community and take real part in the game ownership and success.

Edenhorde Eclipse

A card battling game of the flagship NFT project of Merit Circle, Edenhorde. This game will be playable using an Edenhorde NFT where you may represent your tribe in a thrilling battle for the throne of Edenhorde. The exact details will be shared in a timely fashion.

Automated Market Maker (AMM)

Automated Market Maker (AMM)

In a playful environment, users will be able to seamlessly swap the tokens of their favorite projects building on Beam. Each project will have its own pool, plus a USDC/MC pool (or other pairings) may be deployed in case validators, users and projects need to acquire more Merit Circle tokens for any use case.

The AMM smart contracts will charge a fee for every swap that occurs on the protocol. This fee is divided into a liquidity provider fee, and a protocol fee.

  • Liquidity provider fees — This fee is split by liquidity providers proportional to their contribution to liquidity reserves for that relevant pair.
  • Protocol fees — The AMM charges a yet to be determined fee to utilize the protocol. This part will be used to autonomously buyback and burn MC.

Sphere

The native NFT marketplace focused on gaming brought to you by Orange Pill. Purchase the assets of your favorite game in an easy and transparent way. This marketplace will be the starting point for many gamers, and the end point for game developers looking for a solution for their users.

Similar to the AMM, each transaction on Sphere charges a yet to be determined protocol fee to utilize the protocol.

The essentials

Launching on top of the Avalanche network, we’re privileged to utilize various infrastructure tools that already exist. These range from native Avalanche wallets to analytics tools, bridges, SDKs, APIs and beyond.

Without endorsing anything officially at this stage, a wide list of utilities can be found here.
