INTRO

GameFi Industry

Acxyn is the next generation Web3 platform and liquidity protocol, that supercharges the ability of game creators to enter Web3 frictionlessly and access unique liquidity and revenue generation possibilities - helping game creators achieve sustainability and investability quickly. We achieve this through the valuation and tokenisation of intellectual property and intellectual property rights as well as a unique Proof-of-Fun emissions engine that maximises the yield game creators can earn from Web3.

Games entering Web3 need to re-think their business model from the ground up - crafting intricate and extensive tokenomics models, based on in-game player driven production loops as well as managing the on-chain liquidity and listings of assets in the hope of achieving stable equilibrium and a sustainable business model. For most game developers, this drastically increases the technological and economic barrier to enter Web3, and they lose out on the ability to maximise the value and benefits that Web3 can offer to game creators.

Acxyn is a technology agnostic platform, that allows every game to seamlessly become a Web3 game and benefit from Web3 liquidity and revenue opportunities - allowing game creators to focus on what they do best, which is to build exciting, engaging and fun games for their communities.

Background

A high level introduction of the challenges games face when entering Web3

Game-Fi, a combination of gaming and decentralized finance (DeFi), has emerged as a new trend in the gaming industry. GameFi combines the reliability, decentralization, transparency and financial opportunities of blockchain with the excitement and engagement of gaming. This innovative approach enables creators to create new meta-universes and game worlds, complete with their own in-game economies. In these immersive environments, players can simultaneously enjoy the gaming experience and earn value through various in-game activities.

However, game creators face numerous challenges when integrating these open economy primitives into their games, as they need to carefully balance the game's core design, player motivations, and economic factors.

While the mechanics and economics of individual GameFi projects may differ, there are a few commonalities:

Blockchain Technology: GameFi projects run on a blockchain’s distributed ledger. This keeps track of player ownership and core game mechanics while ensuring that all transactions are transparent

Play/Pay-to-Earn Business Model: In contrast to traditional gaming, where users play to win, GameFi projects adopt a P2E model. These games incentivize players to play and progress within the game by offering rewards that have measurable value outside of the game. These usually come in the form of in-game cryptocurrencies or NFTs

Asset Ownership: In traditional gaming, in-game purchases are non-transferable investments locked within a single game. With P2E, players own their in-game tokenized assets. In most examples, they can exchange them for cryptocurrencies and, ultimately, fiat. Assets can range from a suit of armour to a plot of virtual land, which are tokenised on the blockchain.

DeFi Solutions: Many GameFi projects may also include decentralized finance (DeFi) elements, such as yield farming, liquidity mining, and staking. These provide additional avenues for players to increase their token assets

The GameFi Trilemma

You might have heard of the Blockchain Trilemma, coined by Vitalik, which is scalability, decentralization, and security. The issue here is that it is tough to find a balance between the three. It’s the same with how it’s hard for you to manage your social life, work, and sleep.

Similarly, GameFi has a trilemma of its own. Specifically, accessibility, profitability, and gameplay. Blockchain games have a lot of expectations placed by users.

  • Must be built on the Blockchain
  • Must have fun & engaging gameplay
  • Must be accessible
  • Users can play and own assets
  • Must have sustainable tokenomics

Currently, looking for sustainable blockchain games is akin to finding a needle in a haystack. To understand this deeper, we must dig through the root of GameFi’s sustainability problem — the GameFi Trilemma.

Trilemma #1 — Gameplay

For open economies to be successful, game creators need to prioritise in-game production loops (GDP / Gross Domestic Product) of their economy over the gross merchandise value (GMV) of the economy. The game must intrinsically be fun and valuable for a player to spend money on and facilitate the transition of users from consumers to co-creators - to power the GMV of open economies.Most games entering Web3, have launched speculative assets without the supporting utility and framework for those assets to increase in value sustainably.

Trilemma #2 — Accessibility

There are two main facets to this issue. These are:

  • High entry cost
  • Economic barrier

Web3 games have been historically challenging to enter for newcomers. The innate technological barriers on blockchain, such as ease of access and the possibility to lose assets and access to unhosted wallets has placed a strain on the adoption of the technology.

Similarly the entry costs for game creators is steep, both economically and in terms of the required technical expertise.

This leads us to the first facet of the accessibility dilemma.

1) High Entry Cost

Game creators entering Web3, typically have high entry costs in terms of product and economic development. Smart contracts require security audits and the game economy must start off with sufficient liquidity to provide users and investors the ability to kickstart the flywheel of their economy.

Assets that are denominated in tokens, especially when these token-gate certain game experiences, are unsustainable in nature, as they hinder the adoption of casual players to enter the game. These assets also do not provide a transparent rating and inherent value, which can repel newcomers from joining the game.

2) Economic Barrier

Many game developers seeking to enter Web3, face the challenges of designing sustainable economics and tokenomics models as well as transitioning to a tax based business model. Essentially game creators are required to design novel economic systems in addition to creating a fun and engaging game, which can quickly ballon balance sheets of smaller companies.

In addition to designing sustainable tokenomics, game creators must maintain and incentivise a healthy liquidity for their ecosystem and continously engage with other defi protocols and liquidity providers.

Trilemma #3 — Profitability

Creating novel open economies based on  VAT (tax) powered monetisation strategies requires game creators to fundamentally rethink and redesign game loops and capitalisation opportunities. For assets in a game to appreciate in value, increasing the taxation based remuneration of game creators - game creators must first provide sufficient asset utility and liquidity. This is especially highlighted by the failure of the play-to-earn model.

The problem with the P2E model

A GameFi project with a native token value in a downward trend cannot scale effectively using the current P2E architecture. For instance, the revenue stream for Axie Infinity’s players has decreased by more than 95% from its peak. Axie Infinity had a peak of 2.7 million players in 2021. Currently, there are less than 500 thousand active players.

It is of utmost importance that Blockchain games find a good balance between engaging gameplay and money-making. If, at a certain point, a game’s money-making element dwindles, the game must still be a fun game to play for players to continue playing. On the other hand, if no strong community engagement is pushing for it, the NFTs themselves quickly become worthless in no time.

Acxyn helps solve the challenges of the GameFi trilemma, by abstracting the need for game developers to deploy extensive token economies by tapping into a unified currency framework and emissions engine - realigning the incentive mechanism within the economy with a creator centric design. In addition Acxyn overcomes the accessibility challenges that the gaming industry faces, by providing a singular platform for game creators, investors and players to access the world of GameFi. Finally, Acxyn provides game creators with a novel IP tokenisation and valuation toolkit, that enables creators to raise funds, access Web3 based revenue and licensing opportunities and benefitting from the network effects of their assets appreciating in value - allowing them to focus on building the best possible game and gameplay mechanics.

This is the foundation of valuing digital assets and economies of scale.
  6. Gross Game Value (GGV): The GGV plays a central role in informing our valuation algorithm, decentralised finance components and emissions distribution. It is a composite index that assesses the performance and growth potential of games, taking into account various factors such as user engagement, revenue generation, and network effects.

By combining these innovative features, the Acxyn ecosystem offers a comprehensive and forward-thinking solution for the future of the GameFi industry. It empowers creators, players, and other stakeholders by enabling them to harness the power of tokenized IP, maximize the value of game economies, and participate in a fun and rewarding gaming experience.

High Level Overview

Gross Game Value (GGV)

A composite index to value and score game economies

The Gross Game Value (GGV)  is a composite index used to evaluate the performance and growth potential of games within the Acxyn ecosystem. It is an essential component of the protocol, as it influences the creation of the $ACX token, informs the appraisal algorithm, and plays a central role in the protocol's fiscal policies. The GGV score enables game IPs to share their relevant data, which is necessary for the protocol to generate an accurate assessment.

The GGV score is a composite index, meaning it is derived from several individual coefficients within a formula. These coefficients represent different aspects of a game's performance and impact.

The sub-values that contribute to the overall GGV score include:

Attention & Engagement: This sub-value measures the level of player interest and participation in a game. Factors such as user retention, session length, and active users are taken into account to determine this score.

Economic Activity: This component gauges the financial performance of a game, including gross merchandise value, in-game transactions, and the overall liquidity &  health of its virtual economy.

Cost Basis: The Cost Basis co-efficient will be rolled out in two phases to provide a comprehensive evaluation of a game's cost structure. In Phase One, the analysis will focus on costs specific to the Acxyn ecosystem, including VAT-based fees, IP protection, registration, and tokenization fees. These factors represent the direct costs associated with a game's integration into the ecosystem. In Phase Two, the Cost Basis sub-value will expand to incorporate development and maintenance fees, which represent the ongoing resources required to support, improve, and expand a game within the Acxyn ecosystem.

Cooperation: Cooperation assesses the degree of collaboration within the Acxyn protocol, using indicators that reflect how game IPs work together to create shared value. Key markers include IP cross-licensing, which measures the extent to which game IPs grant each other rights to use specific content, interoperable assets, which enable players to use their in-game items across multiple game IPs, and liquid IP staking mechanisms, which allow game IPs to stake their assets and resources to support other projects within the ecosystem. These markers provide insight into the synergies and collaboration within the Acxyn protocol, fostering a more interconnected and dynamic ecosystem.

To calculate the overall GGV score, each of these sub-values is first normalized and weighted. This process ensures that each component is represented fairly in the final score, reflecting its importance within the broader context of the game's performance and potential. By using the GGV score, the Acxyn ecosystem can effectively rank games and determine their eligibility for $ACX token mining, providing an objective and data-driven method for evaluating game IPs.

The GGV score is calculated using a weighted sum of the normalized sub-values representing different aspects of a game's performance and potential impact.

Here's an example of a similar mathematical formula to calculate the GGV score:

GGV=f(x)=w1​∗AE+w2​∗EA+w3​∗CB+w4​∗CO

Where:

  • GGV represents the Gross Game Value score
  • AE represents the normalized Attention & Engagement rating
  • EA represents the normalized Economic Activity rating
  • CB represents the normalized Cost Basis rating
  • CO represents the normalised Collaboration ration
  • w1, w2, w3, and w4  are the respective weights assigned to each sub-value, with the sum of all weights equal to 1 (i.e., w1 + w2 + w3 + w4 = 1)

Normalization of the sub-values is done to ensure that each component is represented fairly in the final GGV score.

The Benefits of Scoring Games

The GGV scoring system offers Acxyn numerous advantages for assessing and managing games within its ecosystem. By incorporating various performance and impact metrics, the GGV score enables Acxyn to accurately value games and understand their lifecycle stage.

  1. Lifecycle Assessment: Using the GGV score, Acxyn can effectively place a game on a matrix similar to the BCG matrix. This allows for the identification of "shooting stars" with high player growth, GMV, and creator activity, or "old dogs" characterized by stagnating player growth, low GMV, and low creator activity.
  2. Token Incentives and Value Accrual: By integrating the GGV mechanism into the core tokenomics design, Acxyn directs token incentives towards companies that contribute additional value to the ecosystem. This serves as a primary value accrual mechanism for the $ACX token, incentivizing creators to retain their tokens and actively participate in determining the ecosystem's future direction and emissions. creators who strategically manage their token rewards will potentially gain an advantage over those who sell their rewards.
  3. Foundation for Tokenizing IP: The GGV score also informs the foundational valuation framework for tokenizing game IP, such as trademarks, characters and art. This enables the implementation of DeFi interactions centered around IP assets, creating new opportunities for game creators and players within the Acxyn ecosystem.
  4. IP-Based DeFi Interactions: With the GGV score, Acxyn can facilitate innovative DeFi interactions, such as allowing creators to issue structured financial products against the IP value of their games. This expands the financial opportunities for creators and encourages the growth and development of high-quality games within the ecosystem.

Furthermore the GGV score informs the emissions engine within Acxyn, to mint new $ACX tokens which are provided to the game creators as rewards for sharing their data. The Acxyn platform, contributes 30% of its protocol revenue back to game creators.

In summary, the GGV scoring system provides Acxyn with a comprehensive, data-driven approach to evaluate and manage games in its ecosystem. By understanding a game's lifecycle stage, incentivizing value creation, and enabling IP-based financial interactions, the GGV score plays a crucial role in fostering a dynamic and thriving gaming ecosystem.

IP Tokenisation

Autonomous IP valuation & tokenistion for use in DeFi

The majority of game-fi projects have deeply explored the assetisation of in-game items and cosmetics for socioeconomic purposes within Web3 game economies. In-game items and cosmetics are typically the only assets from the gaming value chain that are tokenised and thus benefit from the value add of the underlying technology. Players benefit through a public and game-theoretically guaranteed source of truth (the underlying L1, such as Ethereum) and by gaining cost-explicit value ownership and transfer rights.

Yet, these benefits are challenging to incorporate at the very least (for most games creators wanting to enter Web3) and at best require deep rethinking and novel game design on the part of creators to maximally enhance their game economies and value proposition for players.

While markets related to rights associated with commercial use, cash flow, rent-seeking, control and other financial interests remain largely unexplored.

The Acxyn ecosystem introduces a groundbreaking concept of Intellectual Property (IP) and Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) tokenization, which brings a new level of innovation, composability, interoperability, and value creation to the gaming industry. IP & IPR tokenization refers to the process of converting intangible assets, such as game characters, digital art, stories, or in-game items, into digital tokens on the blockchain.

How Acxyn values IP

​To be able to value an IP asset, the asset should meet the following conditions:

  1. It must be separately identifiable (subject to specific identification and with a recognizable description)
  2. There should be tangible evidence of the existence of the asset (e.g. a contract, a license, a registration document, record in financial statements, etc.)
  3. It should have been created at an identifiable point in time.
  4. It should be capable of being legally enforced and transferred.
  5. Its income stream should be separately identifiable and isolated from those of other business assets.
  6. It should be able to be sold independently of other business assets.

Once these requirements are met, Acxyn leverages its oracle network to capture all on-chain and off-chain data provided to Acxyn by game creators to identify the separate royalty and revenue streams to IP and individually and collectively value the game IP. This method is known as the income method.

Income Method:

The income method is based on the concept that the value of IP is equal to the present value of the future cash flows it is expected to generate. This method is often used when the IP is generating or expected to generate income, such as through licensing or direct use in products or services. The process for the income method involves the following steps:

a. Identify the IP: Determine the specific intellectual property to be valued, such as a patent or trademark. In the Acxyn ecosystem, IP is identified as the underlying on-chain representation (aka NFT).

b. Project cash flows: Estimate future cash flows generated by the IP, considering factors like market size, growth rates, and the IP's competitive advantages. Game developers share revenue data with Acxyn to provide a base from which to carefully extrapolate future income.

c. Determine the discount rate: Identify an appropriate discount rate - the discount rate is influenced by the GGV score, which reflects the risk associated with the IP's future cash flows. This rate is used to discount future cash flows back to their present value.

d. Calculate the present value: Discount the future cash flows to their present value using the chosen discount rate. The sum of these present values represents the estimated value of the IP. Game creators and investors are provided with the NPV of the IP.

In order to fully value an IP, Acxyn extrapolates the potential future revenue from its known dataset and comparison with similar IPs within the Acxyn ecosystem. Acxyn a cutting-edge forecasting method specifically designed for game IPs. Leveraging scarce time-series data, our appraisal algorithm aims to accurately predict future revenues by incorporating advanced simulation techniques and statistical models.

Overall, the our valuation algorithm offers a robust and flexible forecasting solution for game economies in the Acxyn ecosystem, enabling them to make better-informed strategic decisions and optimize their growth trajectories.

Acxyn serves as a gateway for game creators to protect and monetize their intellectual property, allowing them to license, sell, or borrow against it for their benefit. The Acxyn token represents the digital store of value for participating teams.

Developing intellectual property assets is essential for innovation, competitiveness, and sustained growth. They can be leveraged as additional revenue sources, bolstering profits and diversifying risk. Intangible assets, like trademarks, contribute to a company's primary economic benefit, while ancillary assets may also generate revenue.

Effective management and integration of intangible assets into revenue streams require a tailored, overarching strategy specific to each sector. By embracing this approach, businesses can unlock multiple streams of revenue from their intellectual property.

Utilities of tokenised IP & IP Rights

Real world assets: IP & IP rights and their utility

Undercollaterlized lending and borrowing: A massive pool will be setup with all the game devs ip values constituting an overall value to the system itself of Acxyn. The $XYN token will be what represents this. Loans are available for devs to grow their games and communities, with GGV scores determining creditworthiness. Market Makers can also borrow Acxyn for arbitrage, boosting its value and supporting future game development.

Purchase/sale of IP assets: Acxyn streamlines IP valuation for both standalone assets and M&A, crucial for informed negotiations and financial reporting. As a mediator, Acxyn simplifies this process with NFTs and on-chain technology, enabling game devs and investors to buy IP assets or collaborate, enhancing overall value.

Licensing: IP valuation is essential in licensing negotiations to determine fair royalty rates, driving significant profits with minimal costs. Acxyn, backed by strict legal representation, assists game devs with license issuance, IP asset propagation, and transaction negotiations, ensuring a smooth process.

Asset-backed financing or securitization: IP assets can secure debt financing as collateral or through securitizing stable revenue streams for immediate funding. Acxyn offers an indexed asset platform for game devs, using its native token for all transactions, while acting as a secured creditor in the borrowing and lending process.

IP litigation: Valuation is vital throughout dispute resolution, guiding decisions on litigation and assisting in calculating damages for infringement. Acxyn, in partnership with its legal teams, shoulders the responsibility of pursuing legal action for game dev teams when required.

Bankruptcy and liquidation: In bankruptcy or liquidation scenarios, valuation is crucial for asset sales and solvency analysis. Acxyn ensures protocol health by conducting comprehensive audits, safeguarding participants from risks associated with under-collateralized loans.

Compliance: IP valuation is vital for regulatory and compliance purposes, such as financial accounting or tax planning. A notable example involves Michael Jackson's estate dispute with the IRS, where the value of his brand was central to the case. The court ultimately assessed Jackson's IP value at $4 million, considering licensing agreements and generated revenues, highlighting the importance of accurate IP valuation.

Internal decision-making and portfolio management: Valuation methods play a crucial role in internal management and investment decisions, guiding choices related to the utilization, sale, abandonment, development, or maintenance of a business's IP assets.

Companies sometimes publish patent scorecards and rankings based on intellectual property strengths, offering insights into intangible asset value and potential competitive advantages. The GGV score will be instrumental in determining game developers' IP worth, guiding decision-making in the Acxyn ecosystem.

Co-development

Co-development partnerships offer a strategic approach to creating intellectual property, distributing risk, and combining resources to achieve shared goals. A comprehensive agreement should outline the partnership scope, success criteria, sublicensing rights, liability issues, and incentives, while minimizing legal risks.

Defining IP ownership during the partnership is crucial to avoid disputes, with fair remuneration for assigned IP rights. The development, protection, and licensing of intangible assets depend on the industry and business climate.

Acxyn, as a game developer-focused platform, aims to empower developers to succeed, retain value, monetize their IP, and accrue value through the Acxyn token.

Licensing

The global nature of businesses and industry convergence increasingly make licensing of intellectual property assets a lucrative strategy for establishing and retaining market advantage.

Licensing agreements allow for mutually beneficial outcomes between competitors, providing flexibility in determining the scope of permitted use. These agreements should be tailored to match parties' expectations and needs, ensuring reasonable limitations on both licensors and licensees.

Revenue generation from licensing operations can be significant, with exclusive access to strong IP assets offering market advantages. Essential aspects to outline meticulously in licensing agreements include product ownership scope, exclusivity, field of use, territorial limitations, and sublicensing rights.

Careful drafting of licensing agreements helps avoid costly disputes, making these considerations crucial for a successful partnership.

Further Outcomes:

IP and IPRs as the Foundation of legally recognized digital Co-ops: Tokenized IP and IPRs create a solid foundation for establishing digital co-operatives. These co-ops allow creators, collaborators, and other stakeholders to work together, share resources, and distribute profits fairly through the use of tokenized IP assets. This model promotes a more equitable and collaborative approach to the development and management of IP, fostering innovation and ensuring that all participants benefit from their contributions.

Standardized Framework for Rights and License Management: IP tokenization within the Acxyn protocol offers a standardized framework for managing rights and licenses related to intellectual property. This framework simplifies the process of granting and managing usage rights, ensuring that all parties have a clear understanding of their roles, responsibilities, and entitlements. By streamlining rights and license management, the Acxyn protocol reduces complexity, lowers transaction costs, and improves transparency in the IP industry. This, in turn, makes it easier for creators and rights holders to monetize their IP assets while ensuring that all stakeholders are fairly compensated for their contributions.

Securitization, Collateralization and Sale-Leaseback

Intangible assets can generate financing through various methods. The securitization of copyrights, trademarks, and patents attracts investors due to the stable risk/return characteristics of specific intellectual property assets. Investment decisions are based on anticipated revenue stream volatility and asset credit quality analysis.

Intellectual property assets can also be collateralized to raise capital, with third-party lenders providing loans and intermediate guarantors offering additional assurance in case of default. IP capital raises, do not dilute the cap table of companies and so offer an innovative approach to fundraising.

Sale-leaseback arrangements for intangible assets can be beneficial, pooling intellectual property rights for resale, and returning a share of proceeds to contributors over time, effectively diversifying risk.

Spin-out

Spin-out opportunities involve transferring a portion of intellectual property assets from an existing company to a new one, maximizing the assets' potential and attracting new investments and talent.

In summary, IP valuation and tokenization with Acxyn introduces innovative ways to create, share, and monetize digital assets, fostering collaboration and value creation in the gaming industry. The Acxyn valuation framework holds the potential to expand into other digital businesses and standardize IP value assessment. Understanding the true value of IP is critical to attract good liquidity and with the Acxyn ecosystem, we are confident that we will be able to drive renewed interest to web3 games and provide an innovative framework for creators to maximise the potential of web3 revenue.

Tokenomics High-Level

The $ACX token, a fungible cryptocurrency, is generated through the innovative emissions algorithm. Similar to how Bitcoin is mined via the Proof-of-Work algorithm, the $ACX token is exclusively minable by games and game economies by utilizing the Acxyn protocol.

The entire Acxyn protocol functions by leveraging data that games create, utilising and valuing that data effectively. One such example is the application of machine learning and the GGV score to provide critical insights into the state of game economies. As such the $ACX token can be considered the underlying data token for the Acxyn ecosystem. As more and more players want to contribute to the Acxyn data mining program to get access to IP tokenisation, the $ACX token will be required to pay for services relating to the valuation and tokenisation of IP.

Our tokens can be used as:

  1. Liquidity incentives.
  2. Player Bribes.
  3. To provide a liquidity denominator for in-game currencies.
  4. To participate in Acxyn governance.
  5. Pay for Acxyn fees.

The $ACX token will be available as the first means of monetisation for many game creators and is open to both Web2 and Web3 games. In essence game creators provide data and IP which generates a GGV score - the GGV score qualifies the game for $ACX rewards.

Through the GGV algorithm, developers can participate in Acxyns ecosystem by contributing game data, such as player engagement and in-app purchases, to the valuation framework. In return, they receive a transparent valuation score and rewards in Acxyn tokens for their participation. These tokens can be used as a form of in-game currency or traded on cryptocurrency exchanges, providing developers with unique game monetization opportunities.

As such the GGV score effectively functions as the central bank of the ecosystem, managing the inflation of $ACX tokens. Governance over this algorithm and the economic engine is granted to $ACX token holders, allowing them to influence the coefficients within the algorithm.

Token holders can exercise their governance rights through the Acxyn ecosystem's command center, which acts as the PID controller, facilitating and implementing their decisions.

The Tokenised Index - $XYN

$XYN - is the tokenized representation of the Acxyn ecosystem treasury. It serves as the reserve currency that facilitates all liquidity operations within the protocol. The treasury sustains itself through a value-added-tax (VAT) model, taking a % royalty on the sales & licensing of assets within the ecosystem.  The $XYN token can also be considered a liquidity and in-game assets Index This will be a very large encompassing basket of assets and locked liquidity from the platform.

Through the use and utility of a reserve currency, that denominates the liquidity of the Acxyn ecosystem - Acxyn will abstract the need for game creators to manage their own liquidity. All game tokens denominated in $XYN or $ACX will be able to tap into the same shared liquidity within the Acxyn index. Game creators will have the ability to bond game assets to the Acxyn index and in return participants will receive $XYN and a profit share in the protocol.

$XYN is periodically released to the ecosystem to facilitate open market liquidity operations, such as bonds and structured financial instruments. The open market operations are geared at enhancing liquidity and the economic firepower of the system, to be able to support more games and provide financing for various business development strategies.

Concluding Thoughts

So in conclusion, Acxyn is the first platform to help game developers generate more revenue and provides a novel decentralised and transparent framework to value and tokenise IP and IP rights. Acxyn is the first fully fledged management tool to value and tokenise intangible IP . Acxyn novel emissions engine functions as the first line of monetisation for many games, enabling game creators to focus on building out core gameplay loops and engaging activities for their users. The tokenisation of IP and IP rights, promises to unlock additional capital and liquidity as well as foster and invigorate collaborations between game creators.
