Let’s face it… There’s nothing quite like blasting away at hordes of flesh eating zombies, having to run for cover, and simply praying that you live long enough to see the next wave incoming. And to think, it’s happening from the comfort of your own couch.
Video games come in a number of exciting genres. But shooter games offer an adrenaline rush like no other. Metastrike is a great example of this, as it offers players all the intensity of traditional first-person shooter games, with the added feature that it’s bred on the blockchain.
IQ Protocol is happy to welcome Metastrike into our ecosystem!
Metastrike
Metastrike is a first-person shooter created using blockchain technology. Modeled on the likes of Counter-Strike: GO (CSGO) and Call of Duty (COD), Metastrike offers players all the essential features players have come to love and expect from a first-person shooter. With multiple modes to choose from — zombie mode, team mode, guild mode, and deathmatch — players can play-to-earn tokens and NFTs in a number of different ways. The game also boasts a VR gameplay feature, bringing a whole new depth to the gaming experience.
NFTs comprise a central component of Metastrike’s gameplay. From weapons, maps, and even land, in-game assets make up each player’s (or guild’s) arsenal. They can all be won, lost, bought, traded, and even stolen by opponents! There are even gameplay features centered around these assets. For example, every clan (guild) possesses land, which can be used to generate passive income, using it to farm tokens. The more land a guild controls, the more tokens they can generate. However, in the “clan war” mode, guilds can challenge one another, wagering their land in the hopes of overtaking their opponents.
IQ Protocol + Metastrike
IQ Protocol will serve to power Metastrike’s NFT rental marketplace. A core feature of IQ Protocol’s platform is the ability to create wrapped, expirable versions of digital assets, which can be used as the basis for a variety of solutions. Among these uses is the ability to lend and rent NFTs in a risk-free way.
Thanks to IQ Protocol, players of Metastrike will be able to do more than simply trade or sell their collections of weapons or their maps (or other in-game assets) that they aren’t currently using. Now, they will be able to retain their assets and make passive income while allowing other players to gain their unique benefits. Another player may hope, for instance, to try their luck using your rare, highly powerful Uzi against a wall of zombies they just can’t seem to decimate any other way. Yet, they may not want to purchase your Uzi flat out (and you may not want to sell it!). No problem!
IQ Protocol provides the infrastructure for one player to rent out their NFTs to other players for a pre-arranged amount of time and for an agreed-upon price, benefiting both parties involved. Where stakers and lenders gain interest or income on their assets, renters gain access to whatever utility the asset represents, thereby bringing to life the use cases the assets empower.
We said our NFT renting model was risk-free. How does that work?
IQ Protocol’s model for NFT lending and borrowing is built to be risk-free. Typical modes of lending an asset puts the lender at risk, say, if the borrower loses hold of the asset (for whatever reason). With IQ Protocol, such risks are not a concern. Instead of giving the original asset to the borrower, IQ Protocol mints an expirable version of the NFT (which contains all of the unique features of the original). This NFT is then given to the borrower. Our platform guarantees that the original NFT is always safe and can be returned to the owner after the agreed-upon rental contract has expired. Now, players can rest easy renting out the items that they aren’t currently using, providing a source of passive income without having to sell their favorite assets.
Good luck out there, Metastrike — IQ Protocol’s got your six!
