Launching DarePlay Metaverse (1): NFT 2.0 in reality & the community token DPL

Right from the start, DareNFT have been set to be flexible, and affirm the capability to catch up with any trends in the market. The metaverse — the next big thing, is what has been under our radar recently. There is no chance for us to miss out on this trend. The ambition to commence the journey, set foot in the metaverse has come across several months ago. And we’re more than happy to announce our concrete plan for chasing the next big thing — the metaverse in today’s article.

As you may know, DareNFT’s MVP — a one-stop gamefi platform, DarePlay has been built almost complete, going full-fledged to the market for quite a while now. The quintessential existence of DarePlay has been showcased via a wide range of INO and IGO events which were successfully organized on the platform. However, it doesn’t stop from there, we are striving to build DarePlay to be better, to be more to the full and to deserve the name tag that we often use — a one-stop gamefi platform where gamers could discover and experience playing different types of NFT games. We’ve decided to merge the initial idea of DarePlay as a game hub with the idea of the metaverse in a new version of DarePlay — a less flat and more fulfilling gamefi platform. Throughout this article you’ll know in detail how the new version of DarePlay will work and its immense potential in the near future.

What’s the less flat and more fulfilling version of DarePlay?

To give you a detailed explanation of it, let’s start with several pain points in the mainstream blockchain gamefi platforms.

• Firstly, we have noticed that there is no central place where multiple NFT games, gamers and experiences can be at once. The new version of DarePlay will be upgraded with UI (turning from a 2D dimension into 3D dimension), making it pretty much a metaverse city alike, opening a window for gamers to explore a number of NFT games without limitation, and have much more human-like experience. DarePlay, a metaverse city, will be a central point where different NFT games are located and gamers like residents living in the city would be roaming around to discover all NFT games available in this city, the DarePlay Metaverse.

• Secondly, NFT games are often built separately from each other. They often create their own metaverse world, secluding their users from the others. There is no place where a specific NFT gamer could see for himself/herself a wider range of options to play. Therefore, the mainstream gamefi platform, or NFT games, has inadvertently narrowed down their market by working alone in their own territory. Recognizing that pain point, we propose to give birth to DarePlay version 2.0 — the metaverse city, allocating DarePlay’s land to different NFT game designers, developers and architects to build their empire, situated themselves in DarePlay mega city.

In a nutshell, DarePlay version 2.0 — the metaverse gamefi city, would develop as a micro-society, where gamers could find each other, found game guilds, exchange their knowledge and share their digital assets, in-game item NFTs, and it’s also a place where NFT game developers come to constructs their branches, advertising themselves to NFT gamers/residents of DarePlay Metaverse city. Collaboration could spring from there, society could emerge from micro-activity, and especially an economy will be formed to back up such a society. The DarePlay etaverse city would gradually be created and evolved at hands of gamers or the city dwellers, and NFT gaming producers. The role of DareNFT developers will be lessened and given back to the community for the future to come. We will step by step come to be aligned with the true sense of defi and blockchain technology.

How the DarePlay Metaverse city and its governed economy works?

In alignment with the core or the gist of DareNFT project, the NFT 2.0 protocol still rings true to the structure of DarePlay Metaverse city. The DarePlay version 2.0 would, once again, embrace our 2.0 protocol — rental smart contract.

Imagine that people could rent a certain land parcel in the DarePlay Metaverse city from someone else who has bought the land for investment before. Or another implication, that we often mention, is that gamers could rent in-game item NFTs from someone else, who are called guilders in the blockchain game vernacular. Co-ownership could also be made possible in the DarePlay Metaverse. Two or more than two people could both own a certain asset in DarePlay Metaverse city since our 2.0 protocol allows it.

Markets, where people exchange things, are the origin of the economy. Indeed, in the DarePlay Metaverse gamefi city, there will be a large network of markets where different NFT games will display their in-game item NFTs for sale to meet the demand of the DarePlay dwellers/gamers. For the first time, gamers have a central place to compare and contrast in-game item NFTs from different NFT games, which, in our mind, will help them make a more sensible investment decision. The market will be attached with a ranking system based on the city dwellers’, mostly gamers’ reviews and assessment. To facilitate the growth of NFT games, we will also focus on building the infrastructure for game guilds such as livestream platform, farm and DAO-as-a-Service, attaching them all in the DarePlay Metaverse city.

GameFi Aggregator — A step closer to NFT 2.0

As DarePlay Metaverse connects all games, game guilds, marketplaces, defi servicies in one place, our new piece of product will be the initial space for our NFT 2.0 where rental NFT & co-owning NFT economy become the real things. Just like Decentraland or Sandbox, early investors can join DarePlay to buy a position in DarePlay city metaverse. After that, as the demand to possess positions in DarePlay city metaverse grows, the early investors can lease out their positions to NFT games and game services in DarePlay ecosystem.

As a GameFi aggregator, DarePlay Metaverse will be a central hub for NFT games where gamers can:

• Discover NFT games: Find NFT game reviews and the games with the highest ROI
• Earn profit on buying & selling NFT items in an inter-NFT-marketplace: Gamers can find the best NFT item deals and also can do NFT item arbitrages
• Track their playing profile & history: With many NFT games being displayed in only one place, which is DarePlay Metaverse, gamers can track their earnings and manage their in-game items in all NFT games that they’re playing easily

DarePlay Metaverse also focuses on game guilds, which we think will be one of the most important components in blockchain gaming industry. So, as a GameFi aggregator, DarePlay Metaverse will also provide

• Livestreaming service that game guilds or game KOLs can use to livestream thier game playings or train the scholars
• DAO as a Service: Tool that game guilds would need to control their operations

DarePlay Metaverse in DareNFT ecosystem

DarePlay Metaverse with its own token DPL will stand separately besides DareFarm (staking & liquidity farming platform), DareLaunch (token sale launchpad), DareWork (derivative NFT platform).

Meet the ‘no seed, no private, no VCs’ token: DPL — the token of DarePlay Metaverse

DarePlay Metaverse will use DPL as the governance token. The most important thing about DPL is that we’ll give it for free to DP holders, who are also $DNFT Stakers or $DNFT liquidity farmers.

DPL will be distributed in the ‘FairLaunch’ manner, which is the way applied in many top-notch DeFi protocols such as Sushiswap, Trader Joe, etc. DPL will go with ‘no seed sale, no private sale, no VCs, but purely for the community’ — We’ll give them all to our users, which is DP holders.

DPL will also be a tradable token and its holders can trade the token on Pancakeswap. The DPL’s FairLaunch, named FairDrop, will be out in the next articles.
