Next Level Token: Blockchain Technology Meets Gaming

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago

The potential what blockchain technology offers and what it can offer has long been stuck on my mind. But the true realisation of their potential strikes when we come across projects that have the capacity to fundamentally alter how we operate in the day-to-day life. No doubt like many others on Steemit, I am a self-confessed gamer, so any developments that have the ability to change the gaming industry is bound to catch my eye. Today we speak of a similar development that caught my eye recently,the Ethereum based, Next Level Token (NLT).


The white paper describes the aim of the project as being:

The Next Level Token aims to reward players who win matches through digital currency. Each time a player wins a matchup, they are awarded a set number of tokens that can then be used to get in-game upgrades, or cash out for real world value.

Interestingly, the white paper also indicates that subtokens will also be created once the supply of tokens falls below 20 million, a solution proposed by the project should future demand of tokens outstrip supply.

Games In Development
Games that are currently in development:

  • Diplomatic Deathmatch

An arcade 2-D fighter based on prevalent modern political icons. Players will test their button mashing skills in a battle to win both bragging rights and Next Level Tokens.

Already available on app stores, here’s what the game looks like:


  • VR Tactics
    VR Tactics is 3DVR strategy game that draws inspiration from the Advance Wars series. New mechanics and units have been added, bringing completely new dynamics to the game

Conclusion

NLT is attempting to make the gaming industry a much more dynamic one with the use of tokens that possess actual monetary value. Individuals that possess significant skill in a particular game, can leverage their talents for money. This would also introduce the added element of increased competition, which in turn may also make spectating games a much more interesting pastime. The core values that I can see in this project, is one of community and representation. This project could act as a gateway to introducing others to the world of cryptocurrency, whilst also engaging with their favourite hobby. This in turn could further the growth of an already growing community of crypto-enthusiasts. Thus, from the perspective of wider cryptocurrency adoption, NLT could prove to be a valuable asset in the future.

NLT is also currently in the midst of an ICO that will end on the 31st of August. Early investors will supposedly have access to exclusive content and be able to participate in the beta testing of games that are being developed.

It has been said (here: https://hackernoon.com/why-everyone-missed-the-most-mind-blowing-feature-of-cryptocurrency-860c3f25f1fb) that the distribution of cryptocurrencies should be tied to a game. No, not solving captcha's to get some RAIBlocks but exiting all encompassing games luring 'normal people' to cryptocurrencies. This could immediately be tied to a real (first) purpose for cryptocurrencies: in game payments.

One thing leads to another and before you know it, the entire world pays with cryptocurrencies.

That token looks hideous. I don't know why these icos and coins dont ever hire professional graphic artists. They aren't that expensive.

Wow, I can't believe Bitcoin made it onto Family Guy. To bad its a skit where Peter makes it sound like an awfule "Peter" type of idea. Lol

Hey,
Thanks for sharing

There are thousands of members on telegram channels socializing about what cryptocurrencies to buy into and market predictions . Channels promoting Pump Signals and our own analysised signals I have found interesting working with others to make some profit buying into the right crypto at the right time. Sharing some links maybe someone will find them resourceful.

Great post! Interesting coin! Thanks for sharing!

OMG.... GAMERS UNITE!!!! @u@
THIS IS MY DRIFT
i will never get tired of gaming...

@adsactly I think gaming will be a way in which many IRL get introduced to the cryptoverse. Wallets and security have a long way to go to protect your average Jane/Joe, though.

I can just imagine the day some person walks into the home improvement store and asks "where can I buy a hardware wallet?". lol

Thanks, I'll have to look into this some more!
