📜Trade Licenses
The threshold between F2P and P&E
Mobile gaming brought a new genre of Free-to-play games into the world and blockchain gaming gave birth to Play-to-Earn (or as we want to say, Play and Earn) games. As early as the industry of blockchain gaming is, still the most high-profile obstacle is mass adoption and value dilution.
For all of our games developed by Pentachora, we aimed to harness the best of both worlds, by providing F2P base gameplay distributed by app stores and having the key elements of blockchain gaming economy protected by a threshold we would like to call "Trade Licenses"
Gamers without Trade Licenses will still be able to enjoy most of the Web 2 part of the game to the fullest but to experience the symbiotic mechanics of all our games, they will require to have it on their account.
