Arcade Colony Overview
Introduction & Overview Arcade Colony
Arcade Colony is a web-based platform where mainstream games can deploy web3 features. Newly created games as well as previously released games can now add tokens, digital collectibles, trading, renting, earning, and governance to their games. Thus, Arcade Colony hosts a series of published games similar to the Epic Gamestore, Apple App Store, Google Playstore, or Steam, but unlike web2 publishers Arcade Colony augments new and existing games into Web3 games.
Developers that list games on Arcade Colony take advantage of one of the largest web3 player bases in the world because the company behind Arcade Colony, Invennium Corp, is a subsidiary of Splinterlands, which is one of the largest web3 games with billions of games played and billions of on-chain transactions.
As a starting point game publishers can list their games on Arcade Colony and simply get marketing exposure to the ecosystem. A deeper integration for games on Arcade Colony allows publishers to utilize our unique reward system. These rewards can be in the form of tokens and digital collectibles that are held in a player’s Arcade Colony blockchain account. These rewards can be associated with the entire Arcade Colony ecosystem or just to one particular game on it. With this technology web2 games that integrate can incorporate earnable, rentable, and tradable tokens and rewards into their game as well as governance to oversee the game economy.
Arcade Colony doesn't seek to render Web2 obsolete, but rather to link Web2 and Web3 together in mutually beneficial partnership. Web2 and free to play methods of play are fantastic funnels to onboard new users into games. Arcade Colony allows publishers to augment Web2 games to introduce buying, selling, trading, renting, and earning, which ultimately help the game and community monetize their activity. For the first time, a game that’s already been launched into Web2 and had a successful run can have a revival as a Web3 game where the existing player base is able to buy, sell, trade, and earn various aspects of the game. Publishers can also choose to make their games Web3 optional, allowing old school players to continue playing the game they love in Web2 as they always have, while players looking for a Web3 experience can participate on an economic level previously inaccessible. By seamlessly integrating Web2 and Web3, Arcade Colony empowers publishers and players alike to craft their optimized gaming experience.
While numerous ecosystems discuss creating games around asset ownership, this focus often remains limited to the mere addition of NFTs or cryptocurrency to an otherwise unchanged experience. The full Arcade Colony technology stack, on the other hand, empowers publishers to achieve a much more profound integration into Web3, including marketplaces, historical data archive, and increased decentralization.
