YUMERIUM - An Incentivized, Blockchain Based Open Gaming Platform

alt text

With strict capital controls in place by most countries to control the flow of money and charge high taxes, cryptocurrency gained usage in circumventing capital controls and taxes, leading to an increase in demand. Cryptocurrency has been able to present an easy to use digital alternative to fiat currencies. Offering frictionless transactions and inflation control, investors have been prudent enough to add these currencies in their diversified portfolios as an asset, as the size of the market does not represent a systemic risk. Cryptocurrency employs the use of cryptography that assures high-security processes and verifies transactions personal to each user. Hence, counterfeiting and anonymous transactions are impossible to achieve.

While this revolution is gaining wide acceptance, Yumerium, a gaming community where gamers share their experiences with other gamers which is a true form of viral marketing has arrived.

ABOUT YUMERIUM

Yumerium is a gaming community where gamers share their experiences with other gamers which is a true form of viral marketing. Gamers will be properly compensated with YUM for such efforts.

Game developers can set up rewards for the gamers with Yumerium as they want, e.g. giving out YUM for watching promotional videos, sharing links to social networks, leaving review for their game, etc. Through this reward system, gamers will be more incentivized to participate in the community proactively. This incentive will be funded from the publisher’s “Marketing Fund” pool.

The first generation of the digital revolution brought us the Internet of information. The second generation—powered by blockchain technology—is bringing us the Internet of value: a new, distributed platform that can help us reshape the world of business and transform the old order of human affairs for the better.

Blockchain is the ingeniously simple, revolutionary protocol that allows transactions to be simultaneously anonymous and secure by maintaining a tamper proof public ledger of value. Though it’s the technology that drives bitcoin and other digital currencies, the underlying framework has the potential to go far beyond these and record virtually everything of value to humankind.

In this sea of innovation and new technologies there are visionary projects that come to life in the form of ICO's and today i am going to present you with one of the most promising ones on the market.

The project is called Yumerium and they have been in the gaming industries for more than 15 years. The team of the project found out that the companies that produces the games make a lot of money, but unfortunately the gamers that are the ones who bring the value, are not included in the revenue stream. Yumerium want to build a platform that can share the value of the ecosystem between the investors, the company and the gamers.

Most of the projects in the market are focusing on the item trading, where you get in game items and then you try to find a place to trade them and they try to use the blockchain as a way to record the items and then whatever is traded they want to trace who has the items while Yumerium is focused in building the ecosystem of players to enjoy the benefit of service. If a game developer has a great game and want to go to a platform, they have to pay a fee of 30%. On Yumerium ecosystem the players can own their credit by playing the game, so the platform fee can be reduced, close to zero.

How Yumerium works?

Yumerium is going to start the marketing in the arcade world, and the reason for that is that the VR market as of today is more for going to the arcade to know how the games look like, so when people come in to check the VR games they will also be able to accumulate yumerium and after they are done accumulating they will be able to use it for our partners to play there.

There are several games in development and already finished, here is a list of the games in Yumerium portfolio.

Open, trustworthy, and secure smart contracts that verifies the authenticity of developers and gamers. When both parties know that the system cannot be taken advantage in favor of one party, both parties can trust each other and exchange tokens.

Token rewards for game achievements to allow developers run contests and marketing campaigns cheaper, safer, and easier than ever before. Developers can then motivate gamers to play and improve retention metrics, while gamers can receive tokens to spend in any Yumerium game.

Compensate influencers for referring or reviewing games. Spread the word with a tool more powerful than traditional ads; the word of a trustworthy internet celebrity.

Decentralized crowdfunding to safely fund future projects through gamer support. Since no one controls the system, campaigns are far cheaper than those of traditional crowdfunding sites.
