ev.io NFTs can be used to earn SOL. Each weapon and player skin has a power level. The higher you increase the power level, the more SOL you earn for every achievement in the game.
Participate in special events, daily quests, clan wars, grind and rank up in PVP to power up your NFTs. The NFTs with the highest power level become the most rare and valuable, but also earn the most SOL.
Ev.io is a “play to earn” game. Play to earn was not viable before the blockchain technology because it wasn’t practical to send money anywhere around the world to people anonymously without going through a lot of hassle (paypal, central banks, western union, etc). With blockchain technology however, sending cryptocurrency from the USA to an anonymous person India is easy and practical.
In theory a play to earn game works the same way a credit card rewards program works. Credit card companies earn a small amount of money each time a card is used, and a portion of that money goes back to the user. Game developers/publishers earn a small amount of money for every minute a player spends in the game via advertising. A portion of the money earned goes back to the player as a reward. Just like in a credit card rewards program.
In a video game like ev.io, every minute a player spends in the game is worth something to us in the form of advertising opportunities. Sponsors, who benefit from these advertising opportunities, put up money in a pot for players to earn. Players need to buy our NFTs in order to earn.
- We profit by selling NFTs which the players need to earn
- Players profit by playing the game to earn from a p2e pot put up by sponsors
- Sponsors profit in advertising opportunities
The business model is very simple. You don’t need a degree in economics to understand it. More importantly, it is not a ponzi scheme, which is what the vast majority of crypto projects are. Most play to earn economies depend upon new players coming in to prop up the earning rewards i.e. the sale of NFT. Ev.io’s economy depends on sponsors.
ev.io was built with a gameplay first mentality and that mentality will continue while we transition to web3.
The ev.io NFT project is not just an elaborate crypto plan with a promise of great gameplay to follow. The great gameplay is here now!
We (the ev.io team) believe a focus and persistence on creating fun, engaging gameplay that is highly accessible (even on Chromebooks!) will set us apart from other NFT projects.
Go to any major NFT marketplace like fractal.is to buy. All you need is a wallet and Solana!
Supply for NFTs works in a simple, transparent way. Common skins have the most supply; rare, second-most; epic, third and legendary, have the smallest supply. View this document for a complete accounting of our first edition NFT supply counts.
A total of 3,866 skins were minted in our first edition (includes both weapons and characters).
ev.io is on the Solana blockchain. We choose Solana because of its popularity, focus on the web, low fees and superior UX.
The in-game currency (e) is being converted to SOL for all NFT holders!
You must have an ev.io NFT to earn and convert e to SOL
