The emergence of blockchain games has put pressure into the gaming industry, requiring quick adaptation from game development studios and game publishers worldwide. These old-time game developers and publishers have already had many users and dominated the traditional game market for many years, and now they want to join blockchain gaming to prevent the potential of being left behind. The fact is that blockchain technology adoption is terribly time-consuming and incredibly expensive. Also, current blockchain games are running into the problem of acquiring new users. NFT game items are expensive now, creating the barrier for new NFT gamers to start playing the games because they can’t not afford buying brand new items.

DareNFT, the universal NFT 2.0 protocol that raised $2.4M from many top-notch VCs and investors including Kyber Network, Momentum 6, AU21 Capital, Basics Capital, Magnus Capital, X21 Digital, LuaVentures backed by Tomochain, has a solution for the problems above.

It’s DareNFT’s first MVP — DarePlay, the one-stop GameFi platform for traditional and blockchain games. Check out DarePlay website: https://darenft.com/dareplay

DarePlay, a full-packaged suite of products, including a blockchain gaming launchpad, an IGO service and ready-made marketplaces for in-game item NFTs, is going to turn the tables around. Three features on the DarePlay platform serve different purposes. The blockchain gaming launchpad is used to NFTify in-game items, turning traditional games into NFT games; the IGO service, will be offered to these new-transformed NFT games; the marketplaces, available on DarePlay, will list their in-game item NFTs on the market, allowing players to buy in-game assets, and especially rent or lease these assets, and earn money. DarePlay will create a cost-efficient, streamlined platform for traditional game publishers to ride the waves and evolve with blockchain technology.

Though being seen as a groundbreaking revolution, the arrival of NFT games emphasizes and levels up some existing inequality of wealth in the real world. NFT games will always require gamers to buy in-game item NFTs to meet a certain playable standard. This will discourage new players who do not have enough budget to join the game. The real world problem of disparity is still pretty much reflected in the virtual world of NFT games. DarePlay, including Rent-to-Earn and Lease-to-Earn marketplace, is to remove the unfair disadvantage mentioned above. Instead of outright purchase, new NFT game players can search and rent in-game item NFTs on DarePlay’s marketplaces, playing to earn at a much lower cost. NFT game players will also benefit from DarePlay’s Rent-to-Earn and Play-to-Earn marketplaces, particularly from the leasing feature on DarePlay. Even though they are not directly participating in playing the games themselves to earn money, they can still make a passive income from leasing their unused in-game NFT assets.

DarePlay is going to dominate the market since it has already partnered with one of the world’s most reputable game publishers, OneSoft. In Q2,2021, OneSoft ranked 15th in the global market as one of the most popular publishers, with nearly 200 million and around 10 million reported installs on Google Play and Apple Store, respectively. In partnering with OneSoft, DarePlay will apply its revolutionary NFT 2.0 protocol to create a full-packaged service, as mentioned above, onboarding traditional games into NFT games. Regarding traditional games, DarePlay also has another notable partner, which is the game from Zitga, which is a top-tier game studio in Vietnam, named Summoners Era, an interesting mobile game that would like to turn itself into an NFT game. DarePlay, being a strategic partner to the Summoner Era game, will give technical support to make it possible.

Besides that, a wide range of NFT gaming studios have already contacted DarePlay and officially become DarePlay partners, such as: Planet Sandbox, , Knightwar — The Holy Trio, and many more to come. DarePlay will support these NFT gaming studio partners with DarePlay’s unique feature, creating Rent-to-Earn and Lease-to-Earn marketplaces for players making peer-to-peer exchange.

DarePlay is going to be released around the end of October 2021, after the IDO of DareNFT which takes place on 3 Tier-1 launchpads BSCStation, KAIStarter backed by KardiaChain, and RedKite backed by Polkafoundry. Please take a look at the roadmap mentioned in the Pitch Deck here to follow and get updated with DareNFT’s development progress.
