Changes in GameFi: AI-Driven Web3 Games

The arrival of the AI era has provided a new paradigm for the Web3 industry, especially for web3 games. Whether it's training exclusive intelligent NPCs based on AI or using AI technology to further present game content in detail through AR, AI can also rewrite the underlying logic of Web3 games, making the entire game filled with more uncertainty and randomness.

In fact, there are already many projects combining AI and Web3 games, such as the earlier AI Rein and Mirror World. In this issue, TrendX Research Institute focuses on the Move To Earn game SpaceCatch, bringing three AI-centric Web3 game projects to everyone.

SpaceCatch is the next-generation AR & Web3 game project developed by the professional game studio Pixelfield. In simple terms, it is an AR version of the Move to Earn project. Players can earn rewards - NFT boosters - by exercising, and then sell these boosters to other players who are unwilling to engage in too much physical activity or have different game strategies.

Daily activities such as walking to work, jogging, swimming, or aerobic exercise all contribute to SpaceCatch, generating NFT boosters used in the game. However, NFT boosters cannot be purchased directly from SpaceCatch itself; they must be obtained through one's own physical activity or from other active players.

The entire game's profit concept is driven by each player's physical activity and calorie consumption. SpaceCatch's profit mechanism is not designed to bring high investment returns, but to provide a sustainable gaming experience through various profit mechanisms, such as selling boosters to other players, renting NFTs, and selling constructed avatars.

Features

Self-Funded Development

SpaceCatch is mostly self-funded, ensuring the project's independence and guaranteeing the community that the team will not disappear after token sales, as the resources invested exceed the planned token sales amount.

Move to Earn

Players can earn rewards - NFT boosters - by exercising, and then sell these boosters to other players who are unwilling to engage in too much physical activity or have different game strategies.

Mini Games

In the second quarter of 2024, mini-games will be implemented, allowing users to profit from playing games at home. The focus of the mini-games is to train players' avatars to defeat aliens outside.

Trading

Users can create their own avatars and sell them to players who do not want to start from scratch. Additionally, once users no longer play SpaceCatch, they will have the opportunity to sell the entire avatar and its items to other players. Users can purchase and use unique NFTs and rent them to others.

AI-Driven

SpaceCatch has designed custom game tasks aimed at immersing players in a world where aliens are depicted as real beings with cognitive abilities. Additionally, tailored tasks have been created to keep players focused on the game, with the goal of achieving the highest possible retention rate. Furthermore, AI companions will play a crucial role in shaping player thinking and creating the concept of human headquarters in the battle against alien invasion.

CATCH is not a reward token and can only be obtained through direct purchase or staking. The presale of CATCH began on November 12, 2023, and has now ended. The only way to purchase CATCH in the presale was through SpaceCatch's official website, spacecatch.io.

The specific allocation is as follows:

Airdrop Information

The airdrop program is expected to take place when the CATCH token is listed on Tier 1 exchanges. To receive CATCH token airdrops, users must complete tasks on the community platform Zealy. Users can earn experience points by completing tasks, which will be converted into CATCH tokens and distributed when the Zealy activity ends. The CATCH airdrop is the only way to obtain the token for free, and it is not used as an in-game reward token. Possible ways to obtain it include airdrops, staking, or direct purchase.

AI Arena is a player-versus-player fighting game where players can continuously evolve game characters through AI learning. The battle mode is similar to Nintendo's "Super Smash Brothers." AI Arena combines games, NFTs (IP), and AI algorithms to provide players with a new gaming experience while protecting the intellectual property of AI practitioners and helping them monetize. The goal is to create a bilateral market for AI, matching the needs of both buyers and sellers.

Features

AI Arena's economic growth flywheel is driven by Tokne and NFTs. It mainly involves two types of users: players and researchers.

Players:

Players train AI characters to participate in game ranking matches. Participation requires staking NRN (equivalent to entry fee) and the chance to earn more NRN rewards (AI Arena regularly allocates rewards). Players who fail to win will lose a portion of their stake.

Before entering a qualifying match, players can choose to invest a certain percentage of the NRN bonus they win in that round into the fusion pool. The more bonus is transferred to the fusion pool, the higher the probability of winning NFTs. Players can use NRN to purchase batteries, charge NFTs, and then battle in qualifying matches.

Researchers:

Stake NRN to participate in research matches (AI algorithm models) and have the chance to earn more NRN rewards.

Features

"HIM" introduces the concept of "Soul Binding Token (SBT)" in the Ethereum blockchain Web3 identity system. Once a player selects a boyfriend character in the game, it becomes the player's exclusive SBT (Soul Binding Token), emphasizing ownership attributes but cannot be traded.

After binding, players can interact with their "boyfriend," and the large language model in "HIM" provides emotional value through dialogue interaction with players. Of course, you also need to "cultivate," and you need to buy food and clothing for your AI boyfriend in the in-game store, represented by NFTs. Creators can also design various NFT accessories for users, forming a market loop of players-platform-creators.

"HIM" proposes "Love to Earn," one way is to chat with the virtual boyfriend, cultivate and upgrade to obtain virtual asset feedback. Chatting is good, but if you want to level up faster, you need to recharge virtual assets to buy props to cultivate the "boyfriend's" skill points, which can be bought and sold in the secondary market for encrypted assets.

Tokens

HIM has two tokens: Diamonds for purchasing in-game items, available for purchase through BNB, stablecoins, and AI; AI is the governance token, and holders can vote to decide on in-game upgrades and future content, stake AI to enjoy fee sharing and token discounts.

Token Name: Sleepless (AI)

Total Supply: 1,000,000,000 AI

Initial Circulating Supply: 130,000,000 AI (13% of total supply)

Mining Supply: 70,000,000 AI (7% of total supply)
