From GameFi to Fun2Play: The Complete Evolution of Web3 Gaming
Fun Games with Web3 functionality are finally here.
The web3 gaming revolution began with an emphasis on crypto and earning potential via blockchain-based transactions. The lines between web3 gaming and DeFi were blurred, thus the term “GameFi” emerged, frequently used interchangeably with web3 gaming.
We’re here today to explain the vast difference between the two worlds of gaming. The difference, for the most part, lies in the goals and experience of both players and developers. If we’re talking GameFi, goals are purely financial, with “fun” lagging far behind in the race. With true, fun web3 games, the goal is the thrill and the fun, enhanced by features that allow participants to take ownership of their experiences.
But the differences run deeper than just experiences, they are vested in the very blockchain layers that the games are built upon.
Layer 3 Magic
Layer 1 blockchains are node systems for transaction validation with lots of functionality built in for the end user but with little user experience infrastructure built on the outside. Layer 2s built above the base layer are designed to scale and streamline transactions by, for example, transaction batching to push a group of transactions through at a single time in order to minimize fees per individual transaction.
If you’ve ever used a user-friendly interface in web3, it’s probably a layer 3 interface built on top of the previous two, allowing you an easy way to transact with blockchain. READYgg is a layer 3 platform providing intuitive dashboards for both players and developers to harness blockchain to power gameplay.
There is one key difference, Ready’s layer 3 is not built on layers 1 & 2 but on layer zero.
Layer Zero Brings More to the Equation
The difficulty with blockchain is that there are many networks, and they are separated in essential ways that create user barriers at every turn, creating cumbersome user flows that require time, effort, energy, and vigilant attention to detail. If you’re on the wrong network, your transaction may fail, and cause total loss. If you make one mistake with a wallet address, the digital assets won’t end up in the right place.
Layer zero is chain agnostic, meaning it is connected to an array of blockchains, allowing fluid movement between them. In turn, layer zero enables complete account abstraction, allowing universal user identities and profiles connected across all chains.
So, if we factor Ready’s layer 3 ultimate user experience, built on top of an agnostic, super-power layer with complete account abstraction, we have reached the recipe to allow the ultimate web3 gaming experience that puts the fun above all with instant, real-time, game triggered transactions, super simple player wallets that look like regular logins, but allow access across a vast array of networks, and complete on-chain identity ownership. You may think we have reached the pinnacle of web3 gaming already, but there is still one piece of the puzzle that we haven’t yet mentioned, the cornerstone that brings the picture into full focus: The Gamer’s token.
The Gamer’s Token
The oil that smooths the gears in the READYgg ecosystem is the $RDYX “Gamer’s” Token. $RDYX gives a standard of value to ecosystem rewards and gives all holders shared ecosystem ownership and voting rights. Once the token launches and is implemented on the platform, additional holder benefits and utilities can be added to incentivize and reward behaviors of developers, players, and game content creators as well.
The limits are open, but the use case is clear. In a decentralized ecosystem with individual games fully maintaining their own individual identities, built on incredible technology that introduces web3 functionality to fun games, it is the $RDYX token that holds it all together in a web of value, shared ownership, community, and mutual caring for the future of the gaming space.
