Their search for frontier-breaking new projects has unearthed another incredible gaming-centered platform, one that uses AI and NFTs to expand the opportunities of GameFi and Play-to-Earn (P2E) gaming. They’re excited to give it the exposure it needs to succeed.
The latest gem? Gamesta.
The Project
Gamesta is an AI-powered gaming guild that enables investors to connect with and empower thousands of P2E gamers worldwide. Gamesta provides training, management, and support to talented gamers in developing and underprivileged countries using their guild, academy, and scholarship program. Their mission is to facilitate entry to GameFi platforms that would otherwise be financially out of reach.
The Current Problem
P2E NFT gaming is exploding in popularity, generating multiple success stories of people making enough money to thrive through gameplay. And of course, gaming companies are starting to take notice.
In a study funded by the blockchain platform Stratis, 58% of 197 surveyed video game developers reported they were starting to use blockchain technology. Even game development giants like Ubisoft have announced plans to make P2E games soon.
But all this popularity has created a new problem. The increase in players has driven up the cost of playing, pricing underprivileged gamers out of opportunities and adding more volatility to NFT prices. For example, at the time of writing, Axie Infinity NFTs cost at least $73 per Axie, and you need three to play. So, you’ll have to pay around $219 just to get started with the lowest ranked Axies. And if you want to establish an Axie team that is more competitive and gives you a better chance at earning meaningful amounts of money, it’ll cost you way more.
Gas fees and NFT prices are increasingly undermining the principles of blockchain technology, creating a digital hierarchy instead of a level playing field.
The Gamesta Solution
Gamesta is breaking down these barriers with a team of crypto specialists, connecting investors and underprivileged gamers, and enabling everyone to share in the profits from the exploding GameFi market. A Gamesta Guild of 150+ players is already operating and working as a testbed in Bali, Indonesia. They currently have over 200 ETH in managed assets and profits of $5000 per day.
They’re working on expanding the guild to a global level with advanced features to optimize operations. One example is the development of an algorithm that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to assist digital asset acquisitions. Once working, this algorithm will reduce human error and remove sentiment, which will increase the efficiency of the treasury an estimated three times over.
Built on the Polygon Network, Gamesta gets all the benefits of the Ethereum blockchain while avoiding exorbitant gas fees and slow transactions. The platform is powered by the $GSG token and will revolve around optimized and open use of the treasury. A DAO will be implemented to allow $GSG holders to make key decisions and direct the guild fairly and equitably.
The Opportunities
Gamesta’s goal is to expand its already successful beta program far beyond the borders of Indonesia and leverage AI and ML to optimize the process and maximize profits for everyone involved.
Gaming profits generated by the guild will be rolled back into operations and used to fund a tiered reward system for players that will net them up to a 50/50 split of the profits. Gamesta wants the best players to be a part of their ecosystem and believes their time should be equal in value to the digital assets that are used. Machine learning will also optimize player rewards and asset assignments by automatically promoting and rewarding the best players in the scholarship programs.
The Gamesta team wants to offer the financial opportunities of GameFi to as many people as possible. To this end, they will have the Gamesta Academy. In this unique gaming academy, some of the best P2E gamers in the world will train players to maximize their potential and yield when using Gamesta assets. They will also be offering scholarships to players in the form of NFT asset distributions that offset high costs. Instead of breaking the bank, gamers can use a profit-sharing model to play with higher quality assets. This means better potential returns with much lower upfront costs.
Gamesta unleashes the true potential of P2E gaming and improves access to those who need it. With their help, GameFi can change lives around the world.
