😎Extended Context

Skip it if you know it

Many gaming Blockchain projects, referred to as PlaytoEarn(P2E) have benefited from this boom and witnessed the explosive growth of GameFi, among them we can name Axie Infinity, Splinterlands and Alien World. Millions of gamers have poured during the pandemic into this new gaming concept, we can currently count for Splinterlands and Alien World 600 thousand wallets active every day, despite the bear market and the consequent backlash for this emerging industry.

Therefore, now is the time to take the revolution by the hand and introduce new concepts, new purposes, aimed at creating new opportunities for society and its communities.

Most P2E projects, are linked to a Token, giving a purpose and creating application scenarios thus a demand, but also a centralization and stress on the same. Often we do not look beyond this now-certified structure, this modus operandi, missing what could be core values at the very least to be experienced, such as simplifying access and fruition, lowering the entry threshold, customizing decentralization of the economic stability of the project and users and thus of the entire ecosystem from a single currency, but above all sharing, growth based on a mature and responsible community that can share in a healthy way, having fun and experiencing a new experiential and gaming model in an autonomous and de-centralized way through blockchain. But that's not all: because these same elements, which are fundamental to renewing and refreshing the crypto world we already know, can exponentially multiply their value if elaborated and applied for society as a whole.This is a journey that has just begun, and once the mere desire for speculation is finally set aside, we will begin to see the real innovations and utilities emerge. It is, on closer inspection, a path that has already begun, but in its infancy, and we intend to nurture it with the ideas and products of Zoppel Universe.

Do we really want to create this new future, shape these new opportunities, such as the metaverse, a word now on everyone's lips, or a gaming ecosystem, taking the dynamics of the traditional economy with us? And the second question we asked ourselves is, what is the point of doing a metaverse if we haven't yet solved antecedent problems like sustainability, credibility, the economic model to propose to the very large crypto community?

That's why we are developing what we think could be something concrete, edible, and appreciable both by the already full-bodied global crypto community and by those coming in the near future. We know that GameFi is based on shared user and thus market recognition of the value of NFT, which means that NFT support the P2E model, but it also means that it all ends the moment that recognition fails, thus end of P2E, end of the community created, end of projects. To the detriment of fans, players or investors and often for unspecified causes.

Are NFT capable of creating value on their own?

Fine, but also destroy it, and that is the past: the P2E model has proven to be unsustainable in most cases and the value of NFT very often merely speculative rather than exclusive. The term "game" therefore refers to games for the purpose of creating the conditions under which NFT have and create value. "Fi" is finance, which is the constant element of the blockchain world that has taken us from De-Fi (Decentralized Finance) to Game-Fi precisely, and which derives value from the transactions of objects that everyone at the time recognizes as valuable. Therefore, it is always the NFT that underlie GameFi's value creation system, and thus people's ability to monetize, as well as the somewhat fallacious P2E model.

Yet, we have looked no further, is this all the potential of NFT and this new industry?

The maturation achieved by the market, is changing the rules of the game, the content and, specifically, the potential application scenes of NFT, thus "utilities," are under observation, and this makes us happy. The value of NFT lies in their scarcity, uniqueness and universal recognition of their value, but also in their application, which is why we are here. Games do not simply represent an application scenario in which users build consensus but can be the foundation for a new approach to the Blockchain world, a concrete, shared approach based on mutual trust, sharing, transparency, and above all, a clearly defined purpose: to guide us into the future. We are only at the beginning of developing application scenarios. NFT can unlock more possibilities and enable unique, certified, more relevant and engaging experiences for users, thus creating a new beginning, new value, a new model.

GameFi: originally denoted "gamified finance," a concept that combines DeFi (decentralized finance), NFT and gaming. GameFi is a remaking of traditional gaming business models but innovated and merged with new application scenarios, mainly aimed at profit-making in this early development process.

P2E: Play-to-earn games, literally "play to earn" are particular video games through which users have the opportunity to invest and earn real money through the exchange of "digital native" financial instruments such as NFTs and cryptocurrencies.

By playing play-to-earn video games, a user can accumulate items or tokens and then resell them in order to generate income. Precisely the blockchain technology, explained in the previous paragraph, guarantees the collectability of objects and tokens as well as to create, therefore, a digital economic universe in which participating actors can buy and sell tools through participation in a video game.

Underlying play to earn games is an important concept called "digital scarcity," which is the limitation of resources on play to earn video games that allow exchangeable items to acquire value so that they can be bought and sold outside of the game.

Blockchain: “the Blockchain (literally "chain of blocks") exploits the characteristics of a computer network of nodes and allows for the management and updating, in a unique and secure way, of a register containing data and information (for example transactions) in an open, shared and distributed without the need for a central control and verification entity".
