We are the Hyperloot DAO and we hereby declare a manifest to the gaming society. This manifest is about setting people free from a digital slavery, exploitation by the game publishers who use their prevailing
status to allow for the one-sided market. We want to return gamer’s rights for what belongs to them — a truly owned digital assets.

You regularly play, achieve certain progress, gain items and respect of your peers. Too bad you don’t really own any of it. All can be wiped out at the desire of the publisher. All of the items, equipment, characters and other items belong to the publisher, not you.

All of your time and money spent is just data on a server somewhere used to get more money out of you. And all that when they can’t even protect you from cheaters. There is no healthy society and policing — just the inquisition, banning left to right.

Why do we need private property online? Because it will make data ownership possible — you can sell, gift, exchange or even put it in your will — that’s the essence of free economy.

Today, every developer creates an internal economy on purpose. Their main goal is to limit resources so that you can lead a gamer to the payment wall. No one is even trying to create an open economy.

As both gamers and developers we want to change that: enable open and transparent development processes, singular tools and platforms for gaming community. Something that is as robust and awesome as the community it represents instead of the money-hoover that are games today. That’s what an open economy is to us!

The only open economy is the steam platform. But even if you consider the whole steam user-base, out of about 2,6 billion of players only 5% can trade items. That leaves about 2,3 billion out of it.

Open economy is a huge opportunity. It’s not about profiteering, it’s a completely new way to do business! Gamers will be able to for guilds, control supply and demand, influence the end product quality. All of this will make for a completely new market paradigm for everyone.

We want everything that gamers put into games to not only be appreciated but also worthy.

Property rights for everything you get from a game will empower gamers to participate in development, make patches happen, complete games, order or create additional content in a better way. If the development team is no longer capable of upholding the product — it can be transferred to the community.

Our desire is to bring forth the future where all of the digital items have a blockchain record and belong to the gamers. Developers and gamers come together as a DAO — a decentralized autonomous organization where everyone’s aim is to make better games. And they get rewarded with money and tokens.

Open economy can accelerate the market development along with creating new standards. Now not only new models are available, whole new sets of items with transferrable features can be created. In this world all of the items have producers, features and markets — just like the real things!

Our mission is to push the gaming market out of the chasm of profiteering and monopolies into an era of modern economy. An economy with new opportunities, new companies, new community and rulebook.

We do believe that Blockchain is the technological advance that can lead us there.
