Economy of the Metaverse – why NFTs are a big chance for branding

admin — Tue, 08 Mar 2022 17:46:45 +0000

While the recent trend of acquiring NFTs of pictures of bored apes may be viewed with cynicism by some, the reason people are paying sometimes huge sums for virtual goods, is the same reason as they pay real money for any consumer commodity, namely status, identity, membership, class, and performance. However, it is the ability of NFTs to verify ownership of any digital item that makes them so interesting – and valuable – to brand and IP owners. The fact they can be used for any digital item opens up a range of new opportunities and cool things. Not just considering product and merchandising, but also from a marketing and engagement perspective. NFTs are a new product category in branding. As they can represent anything, they enable a new understanding of ownership and extend the presence of real world brands. This is opening up entirely new opportunities for brand owners and IP creators to build different types of engagement with users and extend that brand affiliation into entirely new digital worlds. NFTs are the economy for the metaverse, offering interconnectivity and force between different communities and worlds. Their interoperability, transferability and permanence are extremely important – and potentially crucial to the evolution from web 2.0 to web3, as well as the future of licensing itself.

GAWOONI MetaLabs announce its brand-new game “K4 Rally”. The web based game is the first blockchain based rally game ever. Closed Beta Test will start in March this year. The game is supported by real rally drivers. Also today, the legendary Rallye Monte Carlo starts – one of the biggest rally events per year. K4 Rally will attend Rallye Monte Carlo with his own race team and race car.

Developing a rally game requires motorsport know how. K4 Rally teams up with the professional Rally Champion Johannes Keferböck and one of the best rally co-drivers in the world Ilka Minor.

“Together we are the K4 Rally – Racing Team. Our race car is a ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 evo and we compete in the new WRC2 World Championship. By running our own Racing Team, we are as close to the real rally sport and its fans as it gets” adds Johannes Keferböck, rally champion at K4 Rally – Racing Team.

The game will be developed and operated by GAWOONI MetaLabs.

GAWOONI MetaLabs uses NFTs for its blockchain-based games

NFT stands for non-fungible tokens and are created using blockchain technology. They are a kind of digital certificate of authenticity because they identify digital objects and verify their uniqueness and authenticity. Just like cryptocurrencies, NFTs cannot be counterfeited because here the blockchain technology is the verifying body. Copies or screenshots can be made, but the NFT always remains the original.

NFTs in video games
Leading market researchers believe that NFTs will revolutionise the gaming market, much like the success of mobile games about 10 years ago.
This is because NFTs in video games not only have a show value, but also a function, and their ability to be limited will make the games even more attractive and interesting.

Rally Game by GAWOONI MetaLabs with NFTs
GAWOONI MetaLabs is releasing its first NFT rally game in Q1 2022.
The NFT in this game is the rally car. The gamer buys the rally car and during the course of the game can buy upgrades for the car, invest time and bring the car up to, say, level 10. If the gamer then wants to stop playing, he can sell his NFT on any marketplace. The player determines the price himself and can earn more money than he has spent on it so far. Playing becomes investing! The gamer who buys the car takes it over at the existing conditions – he can continue playing in the 10th level and has an upgraded car.
GAWOONI MetaLabs sees blockchain-based games with NFTs as having enormous potential for the gamer community and will certainly surprise the gamer world with more games in the future.

Rally sport is fast and emotional. Attributes that fit perfectly with games.

GAWOONI MetaLabs is working on its own rally game to be released in 2022. Players have to configure their car and can then participate in competitions inspired by real rally events. As in real rallying, driving skills, car performance and the right car setup determine personal success.
The game is designed for beginners and advanced to professionals, as the level of difficulty and realism can be adjusted by the player.

To ensure that as much motor sport know-how as possible flows into the game, GAWOONI MetaLabs is working together with the experienced rally racing team Johannes Keferböck and Ilka Minor, who are absolute experts in rally sport as Austrian vice state champions.

GAWOONI MetaLabs relies on blockchain technology

GAWOONI MetaLabs is actively working to integrate blockchain technology into its games, releasing its blockchain-based Rally game in the first quarter 2022.

GAWOONI MetaLabs uses NFTs (non-fungible tokens) for its blockchain-based games. NFTs are created using blockchain technology and are a kind of digital certificate of authenticity – they identify digital objects and verify their uniqueness and authenticity. Like cryptocurrencies, NFTs cannot be counterfeited.

Gaming becomes an investment
Until now, games were only spent money, according to the motto “Game – Spend – Fun”.
With the integration of NFTs, the motivation to play changes significantly. The gamer now not only spends money on the games, but can invest in the games and earn from them. Thus, the traditional way of playing games evolves into “Game – Invest – Fun – Earn”.
