Zentry Whitepaper: The Blueprint to the Metagame

The future of gaming and AI is evolving beyond screens and controllers, shaping a world where the excitement of MMORPGs transcends digital boundaries and integrates into everyday life. Imagine a global Play Economy, connecting billions of players — humans & AI in a shared adventure.

At Zentry, our mission is to build a unified play layer that enriches and overlays every facet of the gaming experience. Our extensive network encompasses games, consumer applications, IPs, infrastructure, and agentic AI— laying the foundation for a cultural shift that merges gaming, AI, and lifestyle to unlock a $1 trillion market opportunity.

In this whitepaper, we present a comprehensive blueprint for the world Zentry envisions and is working to create.

The Blueprint

To understand where Zentry is heading, it’s essential to explore the foundation of our ambitions. The whitepaper delves into the Why and How of building gaming’s future, diving deep into these core themes:

• The Next Narrative in Gaming: Why our thesis centers on the gaming and AI thesis, the rise of gaming culture, and the transformative potential of the Play Economy.
• The “Metagame” Concept: What the Metagame truly is and how its infrastructure, comprising zApp, zAI and zProtocol, births AI-driven gamification and cross-sector data economy.
• Establishing Economic Impact: How Zentry positions itself as a core economic force in the new era of gaming industry.
• The Role of ZENT Tokens: How our token accrues and derives value from one of the largest economies.

This Blueprint allows us to fully understand the ultimate vision, guiding the strategic lineup of products designed to achieve it.

The Lineup

As we approach the end of 2024 and transition into early 2025, Zentry is preparing to fully launch its core products, establishing the foundation of our ever-expanding ecosystem. While some of these products are already available in beta, they are being refined and enhanced for the official launch.

The Whitepaper also offers a product showcase, a comprehensive look at what our products can achieve and who they are designed for, answering key questions such as:

• How does Radiant convert gamers’ time and efforts in their favorite games into a rewarding experience by overlaying engaging gameplay on top of those gaming activities?
• How do we amplify the strength of Web3 communities, making their quality social interactions and platform engagement — both on-chain and off-chain — matter, building their legacy through our social identity hub, Nexus?
• How do we make it easier to bring legendary Web2 games to Web3 through Maxion, our game-publishing platform that features a Web2-Web3 bridge, wallet, and marketplace?
• How does Vault empower ZENT holders beyond basic staking rewards, enabling participation in restaking and gameplay fragmentation for bonus airdrops, with buyback & burns — all while unlocking enhanced benefits across partner games and platforms?

With the release of the whitepaper and the upcoming product launches, we aim to bring our vision to life. Together, these initiatives aim to answer one of the most important questions: How do all these components come together to create a unified play layer?

The Accrual of Value

The Zentry universe is designed to harness the immense potential of the Play Economy, our ZENT token combines economic and utility value to reward holders while fostering active participation in the Zentry ecosystem. Here’s how:

Economic Value

• Staking Rewards: Earn Fragments to access Vault Drops featuring partner tokens, NFTs, and more — ensuring steady returns for active participants.
• Restaking Benefits: Amplify earnings by restaking ZENT within partner ecosystems for perks and compounded rewards.
• Buybacks: Treasury funds strategically repurchase ZENT to either burn (reduce total supply) or redistribute, enhancing holder value. Detailed information about buybacks and their mechanics will be provided soon.

Utility Value

• In-world Utilities: Unlock governance rights, exclusive content, and progression features, with expanding options as Zentry grows.
• Holder Privileges: Enjoy tiered benefits like reward multipliers, early feature access, and co-creation opportunities.
• Metagaming Currency: Use ZENT as a universal currency across gaming, AI, entertainment, travel, and lifestyle platforms.
