Hello friends! Today I will tell you about a very promising ICO project - Bountie, and it is connected with the digital games industry.
The revenues of the digital games market are already comparable with the incomes of the sports industry. The audience of mobile games is growing at a rapid pace, and in the world of e-sports is growing the number of professional coaches, world tournaments with millions of prize funds and even doping scandals and contractual matches. According to the NEWZOO'S Global Games Market Report, the volume of the gaming industry for the year 2017 was about $ 116 billion. These figures are 10.7% higher than the years before.
It is expected that the global revenue from the gaming industry will grow by + 8.2% combined with annual growth rates and will reach 143.5 billion USD in 2020. Only the Asian market accounts for 49% of the industry's revenues.
In general, in order to assess the high relevance of the project and the broad development prospects, it is necessary to deal with the existing problems in the games sector. If we look globally, we see that the number of jobs in the world is reduced due to the automation of many technological processes, which leads to an increase in people's leisure time. Therefore, the popularity of digital games is constantly increasing and will continue to grow even more. However, gamers have limited opportunities to monetize their skills and time spent on games. After all, to acquire skills in a particular game, it takes a lot of time, and after mastering, they shift their attention and interest to other games that also take time, in most cases without receiving any money, because in e-sports only 3% of the entire game communities receive 90% of investment and prize money. In addition, professionals have problems with finding talented gamers, because there is no centralized and detailed public platform that contains accurate player profiles, ratings and statistics. At the moment there is a relatively small number of e-sports contests for different categories of cybersportsmen, the e-sports market is at an early stage of development, which promises great prospects here.
Therefore, the talented and experienced team of developers from Singapore, led by Lex Na, Darren Lee, Remek Lipinski, Jose He and Daniel Rajesh, decided to create the project that will raise the gaming industry to the new level of quality. The Asian region will be the starting point for Bountie.
Bountie is a decentralized platform based on the blockchain in which gamers can play the best competitive games and get money in bonus tokens if they win. Gamers can participate in the ratings and quests of leaders for additional rewards. Thus, Bountie will allow gamers to earn money by playing their favorite games and competing in cyber-sports tournaments. Bountie will also benefit everyone who is connected with the world of games: game judges, content creators, brand partners and merchants. Bountie will work closely with partners to get feedback about products or games, create content inside them. Equipment manufacturers can sell their products offline and online, using the Bountie platform directly to the players, bypassing all intermediaries.
Bountie uses its own Matchmaking algorithms to analyze and match gamers with similar skill levels, to guarantee fair competition and competitive balance. Bountie will implement a quest system that allows players to receive tokens for quests of varying complexity.
Also Bountie plans to display ads within its platform, targeting. Sponsors will be able to hold tournaments and simply be a part of advertising in any of the tournaments, which will bring a good profit to the platform.
It is planned to create special arenas / stadiums for cybersportsmen in major major Asian cities, where all tournaments will be held.
