Unfortunately, due to the instability caused by Block One I decided to launch the project on BSC. Now that we as a community have taken over from Block One and after discussing with Yves La Rose, I want to do my bit to contribute towards making Gamefi on EOS EVM flourish and ultimately highlight the exceptional technology underlying the EOS blockchain. + +### Project Details + +GAMI is an Influencer centric Web3 gaming studio set-up for onboarding the next 100 million gamers. + +Our debut game ‘Knockout Wars’ (link) is a Mobile Multiplayer Fireball Fighting Game inspired by Street Fighter & Dodgeball. Currently in closed beta testing with the community. + + +Most Web3 games are finding it difficult to gain mass adoption. + +We believe the solutions are as follows: + +1. Remove Web3 wallet barrier + +Gamers are alienated when required to adopt a Web3 wallet to play games, this becomes a barrier to mass adoption. Our games use social logins for all players, allowing them to adopt web3 at their own pace. + +2. Align incentives correctly for mass adoption + +Web3 gaming incentives are misaligned, as they focus on paying the gamer and not the promoter. We feel gamers should be rewarded with a fun experience, and promoters (influencers) should be rewarded financially. + +Our innovative #Influences&Earn program, incentivises Influencers to host captivating Tournaments, attracting audiences and boosting engagement, opening the doors to mass adoption. + +3. Sustainable economy + +Web3 games that require more paying users to sustain the Play2Earn economy are designed to fail, similar to pyramid schemes. Our economy uses NFT sales and sponsorship revenue to bring new money into the ecosystem to fund our onboarding strategy powered by our innovative #Influences&Earn programme, making it a sustainable economy setup for mass adoption. + +Note: Our solidity smart contracts will be open source but our unity game will not be open source. + +### Ecosystem Fit + +- Where and how does your project fit into the ecosystem?
