Combining "games" and "finance" is still a long way to go

GameFi's P2E (Play to Earn) model is flourishing with the improvement of NFT applications. According to DappRadar's September 2021 industry report, the NFT market size in August 2021 increased by 1,103% compared with the same period in 2020. Among them, the game NFT market in Q3 2021 reached 2.23 billion, accounting for about 21.7% of the NFT market .

As of the end of 2021, the market size of the global game industry has exceeded 300 billion US dollars, and most of the output value comes from subscriptions, micropayments, etc.

Although blockchain games are quite attractive, it is still quite difficult for traditional game developers to combine "game" and "finance" and integrate them into the blockchain.

On the other hand, the increase in the number and market value of blockchain games is not all positive. According to the C2X white paper, among the total 3,800 Dapps, 25% of them have not been updated for more than six months.

In order to solve the above pain points, Com2uS, a Korean listed game company, and Terraform Labs, a Terra blockchain development company, jointly developed the C2X platform to provide blockchain game solutions such as token economic design and NFT secondary market for traditional game developers.

The first stage is to launch 10 blockchain games this year, and the ultimate goal is to become an inclusive game platform to create greater value for CTX holders, gamers, and players.

C2X is an open game platform that aims to provide solutions for blockchain games, including design token economy, NFT secondary trading market, wallet and other technical solutions, so that game developers can integrate games into the blockchain.

It uses a highly modular software development kit (SDK), allowing game developers to easily integrate blockchain technology into games. Through C2X, game developers can update game design and create NFT in real time; users can also easily manage their own digital assets on the C2X platform, and the holders of the governance token CTX can decide product launch and platform policies through voting, and dominate the platform direction of development.

C2X Governance Mechanism

As an open game platform, C2X needs to clearly stipulate/regulate the rights of game developers and users, and establish an ecosystem with a positive cycle. Developers or users put forward proposals and votes by holding CTX tokens to jointly govern and optimize the C2X platform.

Different from the general governance mechanism, the governance composition of C2X is divided into two parts: 1) C2X committee; 2) CTX holders.

  • The C2X committee will initially be held by game creators, and new committee applications will be reviewed by the current committee, whose function is to review agendas or proposals related to the ecosystem. On the other hand, the C2X committee can also put forward new proposals to ensure the continuous optimization of the C2X ecology. The reason why the committee is established is that we do not want a small number of token holders to monopolize the ecology.

  • CTX holders have the right to propose and vote, and the proposals that can be resolved include whether to accept a game to join the ecosystem.

C2X Ecology and Token Economic Model

There will be two types of tokens in the C2X ecosystem. One is the governance token CTX, and the other is the token of each game on the platform.

Game tokens are defined by developers themselves for the number, price, and cycle of tokens, which are used to purchase assets, commodities, and resources in the game.

CTX tokens are the highest-level tokens in the ecosystem, with a total of 2 billion pieces. It has two main functions: holders have the right to propose and vote on the C2X platform, including deciding to launch games on the C2X platform. In addition, the CTX pass is also the exchange medium of the platform, and you can freely purchase NFT or game pass on the platform.

The following figure shows the distribution and usage of tokens:

The C2X platform will establish a "financial treasury", also known as a Treasury Pool. When users trade, they will generate part of the handling fee, and these funds will be accumulated in this fund pool. C2X officials will use these funds to build an early ecosystem. In addition, this treasury will also serve as the "initial liquidity" for transactions with various game tokens.

Summary: C2X wants to build a Web3 game platform

P2E is not a new concept. In the early online games Paradise, Ragnarok, and World of Warcraft, players made profits by selling items through offline transactions. The blockchain game combines elements such as cryptocurrency, NFT, and token economy to strengthen the P2E model.

As of the end of 2021, nearly 2.4 million players around the world have joined the game economy of playing and earning, which has created an economic output value of more than 9.2 billion U.S. dollars, and the NFT market has also increased by 176 times. Coupled with the concept of Metaverse, In the future, GameFi has the opportunity to experience explosive growth.

The demand for high-quality P2E games in the market is increasing, but many traditional game developers cannot enter the P2E market due to technical problems, so the market needs a Web3 game platform like C2X.

Through C2X's software development tool module (SDK), more high-quality P2E games can be continuously brought into the ecosystem, and then the ecosystem can be gradually expanded through the trading system and governance system. Developers optimize their own games, and the C2X committee brings more high-quality games into the C2X ecosystem, reviews proposals, and optimizes the economic model through governance voting to increase C2X and game users, and more users mean more developers and more P2E Economic Opportunity.

The goal of C2X is to establish an independent global blockchain game ecosystem. The first stage is to launch 10 blockchain games this year. The ultimate goal is to become an inclusive game platform, create a larger game ecology for CTX holders, game developers, and players, and enhance the value of the C2X platform.
