SHRAPNEL | Competitive Gaming accompanied by True Ownership

The Edge with Shrapnel
The integration of blockchain technology in SHRAPNEL offers numerous advantages to revolutionize the gaming industry:

Ownership: In traditional games, developers own and control all assets, leaving players with limited control. With blockchain, players can become actual owners of in-game assets through smart contracts. This newfound ownership empowers players and gives them the ability to dictate the fate of their assets.
DeFi: Decentralised Finance (DeFi) plays a vital role in blockchain gaming. By leveraging blockchain-based economic models, SHRAPNEL creates sustainable environments where the economy runs on the blockchain. This decentralization prevents a single entity from having complete control over the game’s economy.
Participation: Traditional games are centralized, with developers setting the rules for players to follow. In contrast, blockchain games invite players to actively participate in decision-making processes, including design choices, roadmaps, and aesthetics. The power is in the hands of the community, fostering a collaborative and inclusive gaming environment.
Interoperability: Interoperability is a key feature of blockchain gaming, allowing players to utilize their owned game assets across multiple games. Gone are the days of being confined to a single digital realm. Blockchain technology enables seamless compatibility between different games, creating a dynamic and interconnected gaming experience.

Game Use: Empowering Players
SHRAPNEL unleashes the creativity of its players by providing various opportunities to utilize their skills and assets:

Creation: SHRAPNEL aims to make content creation as accessible as possible. The Marketplace will be pre-seeded with a collection of assets, allowing creators to jump-start their own vanity item designs and other game-ready content.
Trading: Once players create something remarkable, they can mint it as an NFT (non-fungible token) and list it on the Shrapnel Marketplace. This opens up possibilities for the monetization and trading of unique and valuable in-game assets.
Staking: Through staking, players can impact the discoverability of maps and certain vanity items. By staking SHRAP tokens, players actively participate in the voting process and influence the popularity of content. Stakers also receive a portion of the performance rewards associated with the content they support.
Discovery: SHRAPNEL’s discovery system is designed to reward community members who stake SHRAP tokens to promote NFTs. Players earn staking rewards based on the performance and popularity of the NFTs they endorse, fostering an ecosystem that values community involvement.

With the ability to participate and vote in platform governance proposals, players have a direct say in shaping the future of the game.
