Hi All,

In the spirit of open innovation, we thought it would be helpful to share how we at Powerboard are solving the problem of integrating tokens and NFTs into video games.

Our approach is that we focus on retrofitting existing video games with tokens and NFTs rather than trying to build a video game with native crypto support. We believe that by doing so we can reach more gamers faster and make the transition to Web3 easier for both players and developers. By taking this approach, we have been able to deploy tokens and NFTs to games in a sprint cycle.

Our platform offers games a full service platform that issues and manages tokens and NFTs to your player base based on the parameters you (the developer) create. Our service offerings include:

  • Game data ingestion and labeling
  • Event triggered token issuance services
  • Token and event management dashboard
  • White labeled end user social platform

Here’s how we do it

Step 1: Ingestion 🤤

We integrate your game’s endpoints into our system so we can process in game events. We then let you issue a token and create accounts for your entire player base so they get your tokens. The accounts are accessed through a sub-site which players can log in to with your game’s credentials.

No endpoints? No problem! Our team will work with you to develop them to make them compatible with industry standards!

Step 2: Customization 🛠

We turn over the admin keys to your Powerboard dashboard so you can create your own issuance events. All players can participate as default or you can customize them so players earn certain tokens and NFTs based on the variables you set.

Step 3: Onboard your player base 🚀 🤳

Use our white labeled social platform to quickly onboard your user base. Players reach milestones set in your game and are rewarded in your token or NFT. They don’t have to worry about having a wallet as we create one for them and make it easy for them to exchange for other tokens.

Powerboard goes where your players are. Our white labeled applications can be accessed on web, mobile, discord, and Xbox.

Our Product Offering

  1. Data Ingestion

We charge a one time fee for game data ingestion and event labeling. In the event that your game does not have endpoints or limited endpoints, we can work with your team to develop them.

2. Smart contract development

We offer standard ERC20 and ERC721 contracts across all EVM compatible chains. The cost to deploy is dependent on the each chain. In the event you need custom functions for your tokens, please contact sales.

3. Event trigger system

An event trigger is when a player meets the critieria set in events. When this happens we assign the player an allocation of tokens and the NFTs they earned based on your. We charge on a per event trigger basis but only transfer tokens and NFTs to the player when the player wants to transfer their winnings to an external wallet.

4. White labeled social platform

Our fronted application (see step 3 for pictures) can be reskinned to fit the theme of your game and community. It is easily accessible on mobile, web, discord, and on Xbox. Players do not need to log in with a crypto wallet if they choose not to and can login with traditional means like Google, Facebook, and Discord.
