Today, we’re going to look at some common issues arising for players both new and more established in the Play2Earn (P2E) space. Recent trends in the development of the metaverse have been bullish for P2E gaming, and we’ve seen an explosion of both interest and liquidity in the sector, with people from all backgrounds looking to get involved in what is often seen as a fun and more accessible side of Decentralized Finance (DeFi).

Play2Earn has established itself now in the minds of both blockchain enthusiasts and new investors as a great way to gamify the DeFi experience. And it isn’t going away any time soon, as more great teams come up with innovative ways to make financial freedom both attainable and enjoyable for their communities.

Along with that success have come a number of growing pains that many in the space will immediately recognise. But these are all hurdles that the team at ALPHA Gaming DAO has been working hard at overcoming, and we think we’ve done a pretty good job so far! Let’s take a closer look at some of the steps we’re taking.

1. Players with Lower Capital

We’ve all been there. You found a perfect project that ticks all your boxes for something you want to follow long-term. It has serious potential along with a vision and team that you believe in completely. However, you’re not one of the first 200 people to find it and you didn’t buy $ONE at sub-1¢. You’ve missed the early price action. But you still believe that there is money to be made in a strong economy, and even more so if you just had a stack as large as the whales you see rolling around.

Let’s face it. We’ve all had the thought that these games would be much easier to play coming at them from a position of power. But being able to buy the rarest, most powerful NFTs or the most lucrative plots of land is out of reach for most individuals. Does that mean that the higher ROIs they produce should also be out of reach?

The team at ALPHA Gaming DAO doesn’t think so. We decided that the best way to help players with limited capital is for everybody to pool their resources so that we all can all benefit from the upside that scale brings. This way more people can experience returns that they would never be able to on their own.

2. New Entrants into the Market

So you’ve been in crypto for a few months now and you’re doing pretty well. You’ve put in the time and done the research and it’s starting to pay off. You’ve even managed to find a couple of early projects that have done well.

Your friends and family, on the other hand, have not. But now they see you as a font of knowledge for all things crypto. They may have even started to offer you their hard-earned fiat to invest for them. But because of your experience, you also know the cardinal rules of crypto investing:

• Do your own research
• There are no sure bets
• Don’t invest more than you can afford to lose
• Never handle your friends’ money (at least if you want to remain friends)

This is a situation that nearly all crypto enthusiasts eventually find themselves in. ALPHA Gaming DAO provides its members with the ability to recommend a group where experienced players in the crypto space work together, sharing knowledge and steering investment decisions.

Maybe that new investor will join you on your crypto journey, learning in a safe and supportive space. And as their knowledge and confidence grow alongside their stack, they can take what they’ve learned into their private portfolio.

Or, for those who aren’t interested in learning, or simply lack the time, the knowledge that a group of smart, committed players are democratically steering their investment can give them peace of mind while they turn their attention elsewhere.

3. Lack of Time

One of the most pervasive problems of our modern world is that we are all time-poor: would-be investors and long-term gamers alike. We all need more hours in the day to accomplish everything that needs to be done.

Players who have been in this space for a while often find themselves spending hours reading whitepapers, researching strategies, and interacting with Discord, Twitter, and Telegram communities to ensure they have the latest and best knowledge for maximizing the returns they’re seeking.

But this can add up to a huge time commitment even before turning on your favorite device and grinding for hours of actual gameplay. While the problem here isn’t always obvious–especially if you’re making money in your game of choice!–it can still be easy to fall victim to tunnel vision. All of a sudden, a month will have passed, and you find yourself out of the loop on new opportunities and exciting projects.

ALPHA Gaming DAO’s governance structure makes this problem a thing of the past. Players that are deeply committed to their game(s) of choice will be able to spend time in the aligned subDAO, sharing the knowledge that will help drive the DAO’s investment in their own realm of expertise, while still gaining exposure to other projects through their ALPHA token.

We have many eyes and ears spread across the Harmony Network with a wide range of interests and technical backgrounds. This gives us the ability to offer in-depth knowledge and resources to our entire community, discovering new and exciting projects, evaluating their long-term potential, and protecting each other from FOMOing into dangerous investments. Collectively, we can accomplish far more than we could on our own.

4. Prospective Players with no Capital

The world has never been more connected, and the opportunities of the Play2Earn space are providing people from all countries, backgrounds, and financial situations the ability to become financially independent. This is even one of major drivers in the success of the sector. But access to these life-changing games isn’t always easy or immediate for prospective players, whether due to language barriers, regulations on fiat currencies, or variance in daily wage expectations.

ALPHA Gaming DAO is able to help solve these problems by functioning as a large-asset holder across multiple games. In the months and years to come, there will continue to be an increased need for players to use in-game characters and other NFTs as efficiently as possible in order to maximize returns on those investments. As a holder of these assets, we will use renting and profit-sharing programs to allow individual players to take control of assets and play the games for profit, without the need for burdensome upfront capital risks that may be more than players are able to afford or justify.

This symbiotic relationship will enable some DAO members to focus their time on research and broad strategic analysis rather than the day-to-day farming and questing, while others will be able to provide their time to playing the games themselves, earning from them, and ensuring that the DAO’s assets reach their full potential, benefiting everybody involved.

So there we have it. Four Play2Earn problems; ONE solution: ALPHA Gaming DAO.

Welcome to Alpha Gaming DAO!

Alpha Gaming is a decentralized autonomous organisation (DAO) for investing in play-and-earn gaming and the metaverse, built on the Harmony ONE protocol. Our fundamental goal is to expand the metaverse and generate revenue via scholarships, as well as leveraging our community owned assets for maximum utility while sharing profits with token holders and gamers.

Here at Alpha Gaming we are striving to give more people the opportunity to enter into the Harmony Protocols blossoming play and earn market. Due to the increasing interest in play-and-earn games, the price of assets can be unobtainable for some people. This is where Alpha Gaming comes in. We will be utilizing our DAO to make decisions collectively and hope to manage a large pool of game assets. Investors will be able to choose which Vault they want to invest in. Whether they choose the best performing vault or they choose the vault with the best chance of explosive growth into the future. Vaults will be funded from the DAO’s treasury to emit rewards to vault stakers through profit making activities.

COMMUNITY

Alpha Gaming Dao is at its core a player guild built for the community by the community, our governance token (ALPHA) will allow token holders to have a voice about the direction of the dao and entitle the community to raise proposals to improve Alpha Gaming, if a member of the community raises a propsal and it is passes that user may also be rewarded for their efforts in the form of ALPHA. At this time governance proposals will be made in the governance channel in our discord.

LAUNCH PLANS

The Alpha Gaming DAO (ALPHA) token is our native governance token and will be offered to the community via IDO, Alpha Gaming DAO initial dex offering will take place on the OneFi platform. these tokens will be used for the following:

• Stake ALPHA for token rewards
• Stake ALPHA for rewards related to specific activities
• Stake ALPHA for exclusive content and airdrops
• Stake ALPHA to vote and participate in the DAO
• Stake ALPHA to subscribe to exclusive merchandise
• Use ALPHA tokens to pay for services.

ALPHA’S value is derived from the following:

• Yield gained from assets acquired by treasury.
• Yield produced from active play of treasury’s virtual assets.
• % of APY token rewards generated from treasury’s farming activities.
• Rewards generated from merchandise sales.

THE METAVERSE

ALPHA gaming token is a metaverse token designed to build the metaverse by helping to expand the Play and Earn economy of the games that it invests in. But how exactly do we plan to achieve this? Firstly there is a selection criteria:

The games the DAO chooses to invest in must have or intend to have

• A play-and-earn economy
• A native token that can be staked to earn yield
• NFT’s

WHICH GAMES HAVE BEEN SELECTED BY ALPHA GAMING DAO?

DEFI KINGDOMS

COSMIC UNIVERSE

GAMEFI CROSSING

More games will be added to the roster by the community via voting as ALPHA GAMING continues to grow.

SCHOLARSHIPS

Scholarships are a big part of what ALPHA GAMING is all about. By lowering the barriers of entry that currently exist in the metaverse by providing scholarships, we hope to encourage millions of people who would otherwise not have the means to participate in this life changing technological marvel called the metaverse. This also creates the opportunity for people who wish to rent out their in game assets or NFT’s to generate passive income.

TREASURY

The role of the ALPHA treasury is to oversee the management of all assets to maximize value returned to the ALPHA DAO.

Economic Activities

• Purchase assets in the form of cryptocurrencies, virtual assets in the metaverse as well as other NFTs to contribute to the development of metaverse economies
• Arbitrage farms to maximize yields;
• Manage locked, unvested, undistributed tokens of all parties;
• Acquisition of assets including any buybacks and future fundraising rounds
• Perform financial operations such as accounting
• Treasury assets are managed by the co-founders via multi-signature wallets.

WHAT IS A DAO?

The term DAO stands for “decentralized autonomous organization” and can be described as an open-source protocol governed by a set of rules, created by its founding members that automatically execute certain actions without the need for intermediaries.

Both the program rules and subsequent actions are recorded on a transparent and secure blockchain ledger, which cannot be tampered with thanks to an immutable timestamp and the distribution of the information to the network participants.

The example of a DAO was BitShares founded by Dan Larimer in 2015, and further refined by Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin in 2016.

A DAO helps to keep a network safe and optimized without the need for manual intermediation by its members. Participants are not obligated by a legal contract, but rather incentivized by rewards in the form of native asset tokens that help them work towards a unified goal.

Efficiency

As no third parties are needed, a DAO helps to speed up network decision-making and actions and drastically lowers management cost.

For example, say an organization wants to distribute funding for a new project. Instead of wading through red tape to acquire and allocate the funds after approval has been granted, the DAO’s pre-programming ensures the assets are immediately distributed to the right parties without the need for any further administration or paperwork.

GOVERNANCE TOKENS

In order to attract the financing necessary to run a DAO, the protocol will issue governance tokens to investors that represent not only membership but importantly, voting rights (similar to shareholder rights) needed to make changes to it.

SUB-DAO’s

Each game selected by ALPHA GAMING will have its own SUB-DAO these DAO’s will each have their own multi-signature vault with an allocated percentage of the main treasury vault and will be governed as voted by the community of ALPHA token holders.

At initial launch there will be 4 sub-dao’s

• COSMIC UNIVERSE SUB-DAO
• DEFI KINGDOMS SUB-DAO
• GAMEFI CROSSING SUB-DAO
• MOON SUB-DAO

Defi Kingdoms Sub-DAO

Alpha Gaming DAO will have a central Treasury that distributes funds to a growing number of Sub-DAOs. Initially there will be 4 Sub-DAOs, each with its own Manager and Token that represents your stake within. The 4 Inaugural Sub-DAOs and there tokens will be;

• Defi Kingdoms (ALPHADFK)
• The Cosmic Universe (ALPHACU)
• GAMEFI CROSSING (ALPHAFREY)
• The Moon DAO (ALPHAMOON)

The Defi Kingdoms Sub-DAO will be engaged in various profit driving activities that will grow the value of the ALPHADFK token. The list of these opportunities is always expanding with the young and ever growing ecosystem. Our DAO will be starting it’s journey in the Harmony ecosystem but will be agile enough to move into other blockchains. This will be especially important as DFK goes cross-chain with the Crystalvale expansion on the Avalanche chain.

The opportunities that are already available within the Kingdom of Serendale are;

• Buying and Staking Jewel, the Power Token of the DFK realm(Staking can be single-sided in the bank or there can be higher yielding/higher risk paired Staking with various other crytpo-currencies in the Gardens.)
• Swing Trading of Jewel and DEx Arbitrage
• Hero Breeding, utilizing the best Gen 0 Genetics to maximize profitability.
• Hero Questing to harvest in-game resources and experience points, that will in turn increase our Sub-DAO Hero portfolio value

Opportunities that lay in the future but have yet to be released are;

• Land acquisition and Land utilization
• Hero Battles in PvP
• Hero Adventure Quests in PvE
• Crystal(Power Token of the Crystalvale expansion)early farming emissions
• Arbitrage between DFK Realms
• Hero distribution into Crystalvale
• 3 other expansions to 3 new chains with all the benefits listed above

Cosmic Universe Sub-DAO

Image belongs to Cosmic Universe

Cosmic Universe is a 3D Fantasy MMORPG. Players will be able earn rewards from harvesting resources, building on our SUB-DAO owned land, and questing. This game is infinitely expandable, starting with their first Character race of Wizards, with their corresponding land, and moving into 6 other root races for the first planet. Once the community grows enough to fill this planet, other planets will open up — meaning ample opportunities for scholarships.

Those in the ALPHA player and investor community who are passionate or interested in Cosmic Universe, will form the Cosmic Universe SUB-DAO (ALPHACU), so that they may share control over the Cosmic Universe assets we as a DAO hold.

The Cosmic Universe SUB-DAO will be tokenized in the form of ALPHACU. These tokens represent ownership of the cryptocurrency wallet containing the Cosmic Universe tokens (MAGIC, COSMIC, DAI) as well as the Cosmic Universe NFT’s (Character, Land, Resource, Item and Structures).

The Cosmic Universe SUB-DAO will largely focus on:

• Scholarships/Land and Character NFT rentals
• Land staking
• Buying and selling of Character and Land NFT’s
• MAGIC/COSMIC Liquidity Pools/Farms/Staking
• Buying/Selling/Harvesting of Resources, Structures and Items

However we will keep our eyes open for any other opportunities that may arise.

GameFi Crossing Sub-DAO

The GameFi Crossing world takes place in a walled city. Creatures named ‘Harmons’ with magical properties wander around the vast wilderness and the Frey-folk seek to catch, breed and fight with these monsters.

The GameFi Crossing ecosystem has a lot of investment possibilities.The list of these is always expanding, but at the moment of writing the list consists of;

• Buying and selling Frey Folk (In-Game NFT’s that will be player characters) and staking them in the marketplace to earn reflections from all marketplace sales.
• Buying and developing land plots to increase generated yield e.g. Building an Alpha Gaming casino or Alpha Gaming Crypto-Pig fighting Colosseum!
• Staking XYA to earn in-game currency that is used to mint Harmon’s (NFT’s similar to axies)
• Staking XYA at extraction sites generating an average of 20% APY
• Crypto Pigs are a pig themed tamagotchi that calls GameFi Crossing home. They have many utilities ranging from protecting land plots from attackers to pig vs pig battles where in game currency will be wagered on the outcome
• CryptIDs is an auto-chess style battler featuring Harmons (collectible monster NFTs) players can earn XYA tokens for winning matches
• Other yet to be announced avenues of revenue will be explored as the game continues it’s expansion.

THE MOON SUB-DAO

The Moon-DAO is a Sub-DAO that will aim to capture as many micro-cap start-up projects as we can. We will be looking for community involvement to find the next gems as early as possible. There are many new projects in the play-and-earn space and many of them have really great ideas that have the potential to rapidly expand. The idea will be to hold a range of assets that will position us well to seize many opportunities as they arise. Once a game within the Moon-DAO has reached a point where it would be able to sustain its own Sub-DAO the community of ALPHA token holders will be able to pass a vote to decide if it will then graduate to its own Sub-DAO.

Some notable mentions that may be voted in would be;

• Pixel Pirates
• Harmony Whales
• OneCans
• Harmolecules
• Puffs
• WenLambo
• BossSwap Finance
• Tranquil Finance
• Enders Gate
• Chibi Cat Cafe
• Defimons
• Mars Colony

SCHOLARSHIPS

An integral and one of our most ambitious plans for the Alpha Gaming DAO is to bring scholarships to the Harmony protocol. We believe the cheap gas fees and speed of Harmony along with plans for cross chain integration will position us to be the leading gaming DAO in all the METAVERSE!

There can be major financial barriers to entry for some play-and-earn gamers, especially those in developing countries, and we aim to break down these walls in the form of scholarships. The Metaverse games which the Alpha Gaming DAO invests and offers scholarships in, will see a huge influx in users that may not have been able to afford the initial minting costs. This is one of our strategies to help support and grow games that are currently being built on the Harmony blockchain. These scholars will be given the opportunity to earn a basic income with no buy in costs and they can use this income as they please. They may even choose to purchase their own gaming NFT’s to play with actively, or to generate their own passive income by renting them to other scholars.

The scholarship program will also be a rental program for anybody who has an NFT that they wish to rent out to generate some passive income. Alpha Gaming will act as a non-biased and trusted intermediate for the rental of assets. Alpha Gaming will take a small fee which will then be sent to the appropriate SUB-DAO vault, from here it will be used to generate income through that specific vaults activity, this will be greatly beneficial for the DAO and its token holders.

Scholarship Managers

For each Sub-DAO, we will have the role of “Manager” available. A Manager is a scholar or DAO member with knowledge of that specific Sub-DAO’s game, who is able to take on a leadership and training role over a group of scholars.

Our Scholarship Managers will be trustworthy people to whom a group of scholars (approximately 10–20 people) will report to. They will conduct any training necessary, and the scholars will be able to go to them for advice or questions. In compensation for the time and efforts, these managers will recieve a percentage taken from the DAO’s cut. This will be another way in which scholars can earn.
