We have committed significant resources in designing a merit-based Citizen system, governance structure, and an innovative approach to game development, ensuring seamless integration and maximum user engagement.
If the Nation Pillars are the engine that drives Game7 Nation, technology is the supercharger that increases the power of the entire system.
These challenges were identified through tremendous research efforts:
Game Developer Report (2022) - Consolidated key challenges and solutions from interviewing 100+ game developers.
State of Web3 Gaming (2023) - Presented objective data from more than 1,900 blockchain games, 1,000 funding rounds, and 170 blockchain ecosystems over 6 years.
What makes our ecosystem powerful is its modular offering. From its inception it was designed to reinforce the cycle of player growth and value generation, while cutting out middlemen and putting value back in the hands of players and developers.
The nation stack is currently comprised of:
Summon: User Acquisition & Retention
HyperPlay: Content Distribution & Wallet Interfaces
World Builder: Economic Infrastructure
G7 Network: Foundational Protocol
At Game7’s core is the synergistic growth between players and games. It’s precisely this interdependence that powers our Technology stack:
Players: Build identity and reputation, participate in economic activities and obtain rewards, all while enhancing rank, influence, and access to opportunities.
Games: Bootstrap communities with reputable players and leverage a diverse set of distribution mechanisms to ensure players are rewarded based on their contributions.
Players: Find new games through discoverability, which attracts more players, to create a network effect. HyperPlay’s in-game overlay implements in-game wallet interoperability and surfaces available Summon quests.
Games: Access a distribution platform with seamless Web3 Game Store functionalities.
Players: Reputation is recorded onchain, ensuring their time and effort is both recognized and rewarded.
Games: Utilize onchain protocols and data to monitor and grow game economies.
As a digital economy built entirely onchain, every activity is recorded on the G7 Network, providing clear and immutable evidence of economic activity, citizen reputation, and individual contributions. It enables our governance system to truly be based on merit.
The G7 Network is purposely-built to integrate with the Game7 ecosystem, offering developers a suite of tools to support a successful game launch.
“Free Economic Zone”: Games on the network benefit from a Free Economic Zone, leveraging our cutting-edge products and services at no cost and accessing subsidies to simplify player onboarding.
Data and Monetization: By launching games on the network, developers can leverage our existing players’ reputation data, economy management tools, and monetization primitives through intuitive APIs provided by World Builder and the HyperPlay Developer Portal.
Discoverability and Community Building: As games generate economic activity and value, they are prioritized for visibility and discoverability on both HyperPlay and within the Game7 Portal, helping to bootstrap their community and player base with minimal marketing costs.
Access to Resources: As resources are distributed from the treasury to support games, an integrated endowment mechanism plans to unlock resources based on economic activity and value captured by the nation. This provides a transparent, efficient pathway to support game development and growth, aligning their success with that of Game7 Nation.
The Game Store from the Future.
This technology enables players to seamlessly connect their wallets into games without needing to sign transactions in a browser. With the Web3 overlay, players can use a single wallet to instantly access new games, ensuring their tokens and NFTs are carried across every game in the ecosystem, as well as to external marketplaces and reputation protocols such as Summon. Further, HyperPlay’s overlay enriches the in-game experience by allowing users to access marketplaces and Summon Quests without ever leaving the context of the game.
HyperPlay, created and incubated within Game7, showcases our ecosystem’s potential for innovation. Developed from the ground up by Game7 contributors, it has experienced exponential growth, hosting 100+ games and 200,000+ Unique Downloads.
Access Your Wallet, Quests, and Marketplaces Directly In-game: HyperPlay’s overlay allows players to use their existing wallets, effortlessly carrying their assets and reputation across game economies. It’s interoperable, permissionless, and endlessly extensible. The same technology now brings marketplaces and Summon quests into games.
Unmatched Game Library and Discovery: Break free from the limitations of legacy game stores. With HyperPlay, players can play games from other stores, such as Epic Games and GOG, offering one of the largest libraries and best game discovery experiences.
Superior Developer Tools: With a range of features – from simple wallet APIs to immersive in-game overlays – HyperPlay reimagines developers’ workflows. Developers can utilize smart contract factories, leaderboards (powered by World Builder), easily attach quests, and analytics tools, and interact with APIs from Unity, Unreal, proprietary game engines, or window.ethereum for browser-based games. No-code solutions are available with SDKs tailored for both Unreal and Unity game engines.
Game7 citizens use HyperPlay to discover new games, enhance their Game7 reputation, and obtain rewards in their favorite games. Additionally, HyperPlay utilizes Summon to create quests for their in-app experiences, further strengthening the synergy between HyperPlay, Summon, and Game7.
World Builder deploys economy-enabling infrastructure and services - including marketplaces, DEXs, bridges, protocols, account systems, economy liveops, and data analytics services - expressly designed for builders and creators looking to develop on the G7 Network.
By leveraging World Builder, games can implement secure, battle-tested solutions in hours instead of months, accelerating development cycles and significantly reducing costs by:
Connecting players' accounts with their corresponding Web3 accounts, including everything from importing existing Web3 accounts to providing them with smart contract accounts.
Understanding player behavior. World Builder comes with a powerful analytics stack and works closely with Summon and HyperPlay to allow developers to see exactly what their players are doing on and offchain, and to connect this with their in-game analytics for a complete view of their activities.
Bootstrapping game economies. World Builder has a variety of tools developers can use to create dynamic sinks in their game economy, control inflation, and distribute rewards.
Developers' documentation coming soon.
A Revolution Disguised as a Game
Summon’s powerful and flexible design allows it to serve as the foundation for other communities to quickly establish their own digital ecosystems, fostering a diverse and expansive digital world.
Because of modular-first architecture, Summon is limited only by the creativity of the communities using it and will allow for significant growth and open source contributions in future releases.
Game7 Portal: Summon powers the Game7 Portal, where a truly engaged community thrives. Here, players can immerse themselves in quests, competition and rewards that all feel like gameplay.
Govern a Nation of Gamers: Citizens can participate in shaping the future of the nation by submitting and voting on DAO proposals, leveraging not only token holding but also their reputation.
Build an Identity and Level Up Your Reputation: Each action in the Portal is linked to a Citizen’s avatar, gathering onchain reputation and valuable items. This reputation is fully onchain and can thus be leveraged by players in other games and ecosystems, including within HyperPlay.
Play Games and Get Rewarded: Various mechanisms to distribute value are available in the Portal, which allow for citizens to collect rewards by engaging. Community quests, LootDrops, P2A campaigns and more await!
