We are happy to announce a new strategic partnership with Crucible, the company that believes in the inevitability of an Open Metaverse, and works to build tools and communities to bring it to reality the right way.

Crucible is creating an NFT overlay which enables games and brands to offer users NFTs within games and virtual worlds. The integration plugs Boson Protocol into Crucible’s overlay to enable brands and games to reward or sell users in-game NFTs which are trustlessly redeemable for real-world items such as merchandise, physical game relics, and experiences. All of this will be possible without human intermediaries and with minimized arbitration cost and friction.

We are focused on the development of the Boson Protocol integration into the Crucible ecosystem and into end user in-game experiences.

This partnership will demonstrate the capability of Boson Protocol in the gaming industry and for enabling brands creators to sell NFTs in the metaverse which are trustlessly redeemable for real world products and services. It will also be the genesis of a series of tools and services for Boson Protocol in gaming and will allow Boson Protocol to display our technology within cutting edge, disruptive technology.

Crypto Gaming Platform Opportunities

This partnership is really exciting as there are numerous crypto gaming platform opportunities right now:

  • Booming virtual economy: the purchase of digital items in both traditional and blockchain-based video games and metaverses is a significant and rapidly growing source of revenue.
  • Need for trustless physical delivery: smart contracts solved the trust problem for digital exchanges, but physical exchanges still require trust that the seller will deliver.
  • Brand partnership opportunities: brands are rapidly entering the digital realm to engage with customers where they are at, but still to drive real world sales.

Boson Protocol Gaming Benefits

Boson protocol is perfect for this space as it provides a range of specific gaming benefits through a new means of offering and collecting rewards:

  • Impactful rewards: completing assignments, missions or achievements can result not only in digital skins, weapons or items but in Boson NFT commitment tokens redeemable for physical rewards.
  • D2P redemption of in-game purchases: new skins and items for purchase at in-game stores can be hyped not only by time-limitation, special editions and limited rarities, but with Boson NFT commitment tokens, redeemable for physical items.
  • Trust minimised solution: The boson NFT commitment token removes the trust friction between buyers and sellers playing as in-game personas which improves the overall commerce experience, while increasing revenue for platforms and creators.
