Metaverse and the Gaming World of Play-to-Earn

 

In the phrase "metaverse," the terms "meta," which means "beyond," and "verse," which means "universe," are combined, which indicates an otherworldly place, to form a compound word. It is possible to buy and sell virtual lands, avatars, and even whole structures inside the Metaverse. The most widely used way of doing this is via the use of cryptocurrency. Several of the metaverses that are now in existence are driven by blockchain technology, which is a decentralized database of transactional information.

Gaming has seen enormous development in recent years, and when the topic of gaming is brought up, it is now immediately linked with huge amounts of money, which is not surprising. According to projections, the global gaming business will be worth $152 billion by the end of this calendar year. Customer spending on games in the mobile applications sector is expected to reach $143 billion by 2020, according to the industry. Despite the fact that a new economic model has finally been adopted, players have spent a considerable amount of time and money on gaming in the years preceding up its implementation. In order to transact in these virtual worlds, a user would need to have bitcoin in order to utilize the blockchain technology that drives many of the metaverses that are already in existence today, a user would need bitcoin or nonfungible tokens (NFTs) This gaming paradigm, which is founded on the idea of an open economy, rewards every player who participates in the game and adds value to it by doing so with monetary compensation.

It is estimated that about $9.6 billion was invested in the global gaming industry in the 18 months leading up to January 1, 2019, according to the International Gaming Industry Association. During the first six months of 2021 alone, a total of $476 million was invested in 24 blockchain-based gaming companies, representing a total investment of $476 million. One example of the Play to Earn Game is that a Vietnamese developer Sky Mavis has created Axie Infinity, a blockchain-based game inspired by the Pokémon brand, which uses the Ethereum blockchain. The final goal of the game is to get an in-game token known as Smooth Love Potion, which serves as a reward (SLP). It is possible for players to breed their Axies with the use of SLP and AXS, which gives them the advantage of earning more money.

To boost trade, Africa is simplifying international payment systems

It's hard to transfer money between African countries. The Ghanaian king settled a bill with a Nigerian attorney. His experience highlights a systemic problem impeding Africa's economic growth: high transaction costs and inconvenience. 15% of all imports and exports occur between 55 African countries. 60% of Asian trade is within Asia. 70% in EU. The difficulty of international payments hinders African trade. There are also high tariffs, long border procedures, and congested roads. Proponents of AfCFTA say easing trade restrictions will boost trade, FDI, and economic growth. 50 million people will be lifted out of extreme poverty by 2035 due to the accord's positive impact on real income, which is projected to rise 9.1%.  Another issue: In Africa, currency values fluctuate. From July 2021 to 2022, Ghana's currency fell from 6 to 8. Volatile currencies make financial transactions more costly and risky.

A more accessible blockchain-based app dev in progress

Outside of cryptocurrency, blockchain has a lot of potential. Decentralized applications and distributed ledgers may soon be used by established industries such as finance, automotive, supply chain, and mobility. However, creating your own blockchain from the ground up is quite tough. Lisk co-founder Max Kordek discusses how to make decentralization more approachable. Blockchain's decentralized, tamper-proof nature has the ability to decentralize power and offer the collective hive more data control. Data from different manufacturers may be linked, and data from different vehicles could be shared. With so much money pouring towards asteroid mining and Mars expeditions, an interplanetary economy appears to be a foregone conclusion. Established businesses are less likely to have a say in the change than new entrepreneurs. When Bitcoin was first launched, the development ecosystem was "terrible," according to Kordek. He claims that developing on the open source and immutable...

Embracing blockchain as a tool for change

Blockchain technology is increasingly being employed in enterprises outside of the financial industry, and this trend is expected to continue in the future. By 2023, it is estimated that investment in blockchain technologies will reach US$16 billion per year on average. (Approximately RM68 billion). To put this in perspective, consider the fact that US$8.7 billion was invested in blockchain and cryptocurrencies in the first half of 2021. The Malaysian government is aiming to create a long-term environment for the country's technology and financial services industries in the next years. Founded in Singapore in July 2021 by Iskandar Investment Bhd as a wholly-owned subsidiary, the Ignite Global Innovation and Technology Exchange will be the world's first global innovation and technology exchange. In Malaysia, IIB Ventures Sdn Bhd is in charge of the development of the blockchain industry's ecosystem. This is why BV@M has set a goal of creating a blockchain ecosystem in Medini...
