Rethinking Play-to-Earn: Revolve Games’ Innovative Take on Sustainable Gaming
It is undeniable that play-to-earn is beginning to shake the foundations of the gaming industry, creating opportunities for gamers to derive tangible value from their virtual endeavors. However, this burgeoning model is not without its challenges. Central among these are sustainability and value extraction issues that could undermine the P2E model’s long-term viability. Against this backdrop, Revolve Games is championing an innovative stake-to-own, play-to-earn model that, by design, bolsters its own economy.
Play-to-Earn: A Model with Growing Pains
The allure of earning real-world value from gameplay has drawn players worldwide to P2E platforms. Yet, the model’s implementation often reveals a disconnect between player actions and their remuneration. In many P2E games, rewards are generated without direct correlation to the players’ performance or input into the ecosystem. This can result in a flooded market, rampant inflation, and an unstable economic environment.
Moreover, the P2E model can inadvertently encourage ‘value extraction’, where players withdraw earned tokens and immediately cash out, thus pulling value from the game’s economy. If unchecked, this can lead to economic instability and, in the worst case, an unsustainable ecosystem.
Revolve Games’ Stake-to-Own, Play-to-Earn System: A Self-Sustaining Model
In response to these challenges, Revolve Games introduces a stake-to-own, play-to-earn model, a more sustainable solution that counteracts the issues plaguing the P2E space. This model lies at the heart of Revolve Games, powering platforms like Selestium and the upcoming Bones and Blade.
Incentive Alignment: Revolve Games’ model ties rewards directly to player performance, fostering a healthy and competitive gaming environment. This approach motivates players not just to earn rewards but also to enhance their skills and contribute positively to the game’s ecosystem.
Sustainability and Economy Bolstering: Unlike traditional P2E models, rewards in the Revolve Games ecosystem are closely tied to the value being created within the platform. This design minimizes the risk of inflation and market saturation, ensuring the economy remains balanced. Further enhancing this economic stability is the inherent staking mechanism, which offers a more predictable token supply.
NFT Stability Through RPG Token Backing: Unlike many blockchain games where NFTs exist in isolation, in Revolve Games, many of the playable assets (such as characters) are backed by RPG tokens. Characters can only be generated by staking an amount of RPG tokens, the asset will be tethered to this staking contract. This RPG backing provides additional stability to NFTs as it ties their value to the broader economy of the game, rather than being subject to volatile external market forces. This approach gives NFTs intrinsic value, fostering a more stable and self-sustaining economy within the game.
Player Retention and Token Utility: The model encourages continued engagement by making rewards performance-based, fostering a loyal player base. Moreover, the multi-faceted utility of RPG tokens allows for varied in-game activities, enhancing the dynamic nature of the game’s economy.
Long-Term Investment Promotion: By tying playable assets to staking contracts, Revolve Games’ model promotes long-term investment. This can result in players holding onto their assets and tokens, thus further supporting the stability and growth of the game’s economy.
Revolve Games’ Forward-Thinking Approach
The team behind Revolve Games understands that innovation doesn’t stop. By analyzing the broader P2E space and our own ecosystem, we will continue to adjust and refine our model. Through this iterative process, we aim to ensure our stake-to-own, play-to-earn model remains a robust and sustainable solution in the rapidly evolving blockchain gaming industry.
In embracing such an approach, we not only address the current challenges in the P2E model but also anticipate future trends and hurdles. We are focused on long-term sustainability, alignment of player incentives, player retention, and the stability of NFTs ensures that their gaming platforms can adapt to changing market conditions while continuing to provide a rewarding and engaging experience for their players.
About Revolve Games
Revolve Games is redefining GameFi , with a stake-to-own, play-to-earn blockchain gaming ecosystem where users earn staking rewards according to their in game performance. The Revolve gaming mechanics and token utility are delivered through the Selestium multiverse.
Actionable assets in the ecosystem are tethered and representative of an RPG (the native token of Revolve) stake. Simply, these NFTs will need to be returned to the staking contract in order for players to withdraw the corresponding RPG staked. NFT staking contracts can also be bought and sold through the Revolve NFT marketplace. This model ensures that the value of NFTs is always contained within, and supports the value of the native token.
