Play to Earn Guilds: From casual players to billion-dollar Guilds.

Blockchain gaming has experienced an incredible transformation, from a small community of casual players that started selling, breeding, and playing CryptoKitties in 2017 to a mature industry with tens of millions of players and billion-dollar organizations.

As the industry evolved and some of the best gaming players started flocking to these games, better guilds started developing and building professional organizations, with layers of managers and tools approaching the industry competitively as a business.

All signs indicate that the Metaverse will be one of the main economic engines of the digital society, and there’s a need to create opportunities for web3 natives across the world; rewarding gamers and communities and allowing people to make extra income by participating in the industry.

But this is changing quickly.

Scholar management for high- performing guilds

More data, more capital, better performance.

Managing in-game assets across different games and chains is hard, especially when running large guilds with multiple managers and scholars.

BlockchainSpace is the leading data, collaboration, and financial hub for Play-To-Earn guilds. They have pioneered different tools and services to drive the right data-based decision-making, most recently with their Kaizen Dashboard, the go-to tool for all guild-related activities. But there’s more — BlockchainSpace has collected and curated the largest and deepest data set for GameFi Guilds in the world.

From HR Management and Payout Automation to Performance Analytics or Earnings Forecasts, data is allowing guilds to optimize their processes and maximize ROI.

A popular business model among P2E Guilds (the scholarship model) is focused on lending in-game assets in the form of NFTs, recruiting players that want to make money playing games with these NFTs. Having this overview of all activities is critical for managing their operations and ensuring a smooth guild-scholar relationship.

As the market matures, guilds are becoming financial powerhouses diversified across multiple crypto asset classes (NFTs, GameFi assets, Token Investments) making more money from savvy investments and treasury management than the percentage of the players’ earnings collected from their scholarship models. So, the direction to follow is clear, isn’t it? Assets. Efficiency. Debt.

Unlockd is walking in that direction. Unlockd lending solution allows guilds to take NFT-backed loans, keeping the assets’ utility while getting extra budget to fund their operations.

The final Loan-To-Value rate depends on the collection and the particular NFT. Unlockd uses a risk appraisal model based on different partner protocols to determine the value of the asset. This mixture of appraisal integrates algorithmic and game theory-based valuations, allowing users to take out loans of up to 95% depending on the type of asset.

Unlockd solutions support protocol operations with non-dilutive funding that will help Guilds grow and minimize their idle resources. We believe NFT-backed loans can drive financial inclusion and enable scholars to improve their earnings and access to credit, with the support of their guilds and managers.

For this reason, Unlockd could not be missing in BlockchainSpace’s ecosystem of solutions, tools and key industry players.

This integration has massive potential, as BlockchainSpace’s software allows easy payouts and disbursement, which opens the door to pioneering use cases, such as allowing scholars to borrow through Unlockd and even have access to salary loans in the future.

Guilds, players, scholars, DAOs… get ready because NFT-backed debt combined with the right data to operate safely and efficiently is the future of the Play-To-Earn industry.

Unlockd x BlockchainSpace: Integrating the tools to help thousands of guilds and millions of players.

BlockchainSpace and Unlockd share the same vision of developing tools to empower Play-To-Earn guilds and gamers on their journey towards growth and success.

Besides, due to the growth of the industry, we have seen a large number of investors and NFT collectors joining the market, even investment DAOs and organizations entirely focused on acquiring and handling Metaverse assets.

This creates a big opportunity on top of guilds and scholars, one that BlockchainSpace will tackle through their “Guild-as-a-Service” (GaaS) feature. With GaaS, investors can connect to Guild Managers and set up their own P2E guilds without needing to lift a finger.

As a result, the full BlockchainSpace tool suite provides efficient financial planification to both emerging and world-class guilds, but the missing key is the actual liquidity extraction to optimize idle resources.

And that will be achieved with asset-based, non-diluting loans, provided by Unlockd.

Leveraging the optimal BlockchainSpace data will be critical to deciding when to take out a Unlockd NFT-backed loan and buy a new collection or double down on conviction projects.

The Unlockd x BlockchainSpace partnership will help users, decentralized organizations, creators, and all market participants to manage NFT portfolios more efficiently with better data and extra liquidity.

What does this mean? Wen beta?

Through this partnership we will enable all BlockchainSpace users — guilds and players — to leverage Unlockd tools during our beta phase, becoming early adopters in the new Guild NFT-backed financing paradigm.

In addition to testing Unlockd features together and developing solutions hand in hand to tackle some of the main problems in the industry, we will also provide extra incentives to develop an ecosystem together. Discounted loans, cross-marketing, community development, token rewards and limited edition NFTs are some of the benefits of becoming an Unlockd core user.

We are experiencing a stormy market, and there is only one way to survive these conditions: have access to liquidity and the data needed to optimize it properly.

Unlockd NFT-backed lending solution unlocks the door to the necessary capital, and BlockchainSpace integrates the tools to manage it.

Guilds, players, and users — listen up.

Whatever comes at this stage of the market, we're here to work for you.

You have the assets. Unlockd, the liquidity infrastructure. BlockchainSpace, the tools.

Let’s endure this together.

See you buidling.
