Overview

Blockus is a complete Web 2.5 in-game economy platform. Our mission is to provide seamless experiences - allowing players to seamlessly onboard without the friction involved with wallet management, fiat onboarding, and asset movement, and enabling game studios to add enriching web3 capabilities with ease.

With Blockus, you can incrementally integrate NFTs while controlling the player experience, allowing them to log in with their wallet or play without even realizing they're interacting with a wallet. Some examples of what's possible:

• Incrementally transitioning players from in-game items and characters to more powerful NFT items and characters.
• Allowing NFTs themselves to own other NFTs and assets.
• Use NFTs to gate special content that rewards early supporters and elite players alike.
• On-chain provable lootboxes to instill confidence in randomness.
• Use NFTs as entry tickets to tournaments and use smart contracts to securely distribute winnings.
• Launch NFT collections on different chains and bring them all in-game.

The possibilities are endless, and with Blockus your creativity won't be limited by frustrating infrastructure.

At a high level, Blockus covers 4 major areas in game development:
