AMA Recap: Big Moves in GameFi and Decentralization

5 min readOct 3, 2024

In a recent discussion with the PLYR development team, Genshimaro, Fobal, and CryptoFennec, we got an inside look at the ambitious plans for the PLYR Gaming Universe (PGU), the PLYR chain, and the future of decentralized gaming.

Here are the key takeaways from this exciting conversation:

PLYR Gaming Universe (PGU): A Seamless Fusion of DeFi and Gaming

The PLYR Gaming Universe (PGU) is the next big evolution for PLYR. It aims to create a unified, decentralized ecosystem where players can earn, stake, and play, all while developers easily integrate blockchain features into their games.

The PGU will blend DeFi with gaming to form a seamless experience for both players and developers. It’s an ecosystem that not only offers rewards but also fosters a strong connection between all aspects of the PLYR chain.

Validator Program: ACP-99 and ACP-77

The team is also working on rolling out ACP-99 and ACP-77, two validator programs that will serve as the backbone of decentralization within the PLYR network. These programs will ensure that the entire system runs securely and efficiently. The inclusion of Clusters and PLYR staking will allow community members to become validators and actively participate in securing the network.

Ambassador Program: Community at the Core

PLYR is launching an Ambassador program to bring the community deeper into the development process. Community members will be given the opportunity to represent the PLYR brand, help onboard new users, and earn rewards for their participation. This initiative underscores PLYR’s commitment to being a community-driven platform.

GameRoomAPI: Empowering Developers

A standout feature discussed during the conversation was the GameRoomAPI. This API simplifies the integration of blockchain features into games. Developers can create rooms, handle in-game transactions, and distribute rewards with ease, all managed by smart contracts. The GameRoomAPI is fast, scalable, and opens new doors for gaming development on the blockchain.

Gas-Free Gameplay and Optimized API

One of the highlights is that playing games on PLYR is completely gas-free. However, there are minimal gas fees for multichain NFT minting. The PLYR[API] has been optimized with Super Fast Parallel Processing to ensure smooth gameplay and minimal delays. Additionally, the Multi-Token Support allows developers to integrate a variety of tokens into their games, enhancing flexibility and customization.

Multichain NFT Minting: Expanding Horizons

The multichain NFT minting feature is nearing completion. Soon, developers will be able to mint NFTs across multiple chains seamlessly. This opens up a new world of opportunities for games to interact with different ecosystems and introduce cross-chain functionality.

New Features in PLYR[API]: All-in-One Solution

The PLYR[API] now offers an All-in-One Solution for developers. From authentication and sessions to transactions and game asset management, the API handles everything in one place. It’s cross-platform compatible, meaning developers using Unity, Unreal, or browser-based games can all benefit from it. The learning curve is low, allowing developers to get up and running quickly without needing extensive knowledge of smart contracts.

PLYR[ID] Integration: Frictionless and Flexible

One of the core innovations of the PLYR ecosystem is PLYR[ID], which allows players to deposit crypto assets from various chains and use them throughout the ecosystem. This frictionless system ensures a smooth experience for players, making it easier to stake, play, or showcase assets.

PLYR[ID+]: Maximize Your In-Game Experience

Alongside these developments, PLYR is introducing PLYR[ID+], a premium subscription service that offers players even more benefits. With PLYR[ID+], players gain access to Play2Earn features, maximizing their in-game earnings and unlocking exclusive game items and events. Developers can also target PLYR[ID+] users for higher-stakes poker rooms or other premium game experiences. At launch, PLYR[ID+] will be offered at a discounted price, providing an easy way for players to enhance their gameplay and take advantage of premium perks.

Gamestake and Future Games

The Gamestake feature is progressing well and is set to launch in Q1 2025. Gamestake rewards players for their time and effort in games, providing a unique twist on staking mechanics. Meanwhile, the team teased upcoming games like Blast Arena, a battle-focused action game fully integrated into the PLYR ecosystem. With high-energy gameplay, NFTs, and rewards, Blast Arena promises to be a hit.

The Future of PLYR: ACP-99, New Partnerships, and FATCAT

Genshimaro shared exciting news about PLYR’s future. The chain will be one of the first to implement ACP-99 and ACP-77, ensuring that cluster owners have a say in the network’s decentralization. The team is also applying for a grant from Avalanche, which could lead to the creation of a blockchain game studio called BOLD (Building On-Chain Levels & Dynamics).

The team is also working on an innovative ad platform called FATCAT (Flexible Ad Targeting & Crypto Application Technology). This platform will enable users to earn tokens or NFTs directly by interacting with ads, with revenue shared between game developers and GameStake.

FATCAT will be applicable across dApps, mobile wallets, and more.

PLYR’s Upcoming Features: Zooracers, Dashboard, and More in 2025.

The PLYR team is working on a number of exciting updates, including the PLYR Dashboard, which will offer players new security features and spending control. Following that, the Sidekick mobile app is set to launch, alongside the much-anticipated game Zooracers.

The team also confirmed that NFTs from Wanchain’s ZooKeeper will be reminted on PLYR as the ecosystem transitions fully to the new chain.

In summary, PLYR is pushing the boundaries of GameFi, combining the best of DeFi and gaming into one cohesive ecosystem. With the rollout of new features like PGU, GameRoomAPI, and Gamestake, plus the launch of new games and tools, PLYR is set to become a dominant force in the decentralized gaming world.

Stay tuned as PLYR continues to innovate, bringing exciting new opportunities for players and developers alike.
