Introduction to Crypto Gaming
Crypto Gaming refers to games that utilise blockchain technology. Blockchain allows in-game transactions to be recorded and stored in a verifiable way that is transparent - every transaction is public. Tanks! For Playing is fully on-chain - every move is a transaction that is recorded on the blockchain.
Blockchain technology gives users the power to own their in-game assets such as skins, avatars, rewards and digital property in the form of non-fungible tokens (NFT’s).
Cryptocurrencies are also utilised in-game. In Tanks! For Playing, the native $TANKS token will be used to buy a spot in tournaments, the prize money is paid out in $TANKS, and $TANKS can be used for in-game purchases.
Play 2 Earn (P2E) means you can earn cash/crypto or prizes simply by playing the game.
During beta testing, you can earn a share of the TANKS prize pool by participating in the Beta Tournament.
From season two, Tanks! For Playing will have a dedicated P2E game mode.
Pay 2 Win (P2W) is a game mechanic whereby players cannot win or progress beyond a certain point without paying money. P2W game modes give players who are willing to spend money significant advantages which are generally insurmountable.
No. Emphatically no. Economy is a major part of our ecosystem and we want to be clear about that. This is where the models get confused with Play2Win. There is a big difference between Poker and Roulette. The same with NFT Gaming and Lootboxes – a world of difference. Both Poker and Roulette require a stake to take part. The strategy behind playing these games is very different. If you enter a Poker tournament, you buy in with a stake on the understanding that you have an option to have a re-buy should you need it. You don’t have unlimited re-buys or a way to increase your initial stack over other players at the start. There are times when this re-buy is necessary to keep playing, other times when it is not.
