YUMERIUM - The Decentralized Gaming Network Powered By A Blockchain

Yumerium is a gaming community where gamers share their experiences with other gamers which is a true form of viral marketing. Gamers will be properly compensated with YUM for such efforts.

In the free-to-play economy, a small number of big companies have emerged and have become strong powerhouses. These companies control almost every aspect of gaming, including marketing, distribution, and payment. All of this is set on a centralized platform independently owned by each company to minimize costs and maximizing revenue. This also mean that said companies can determine which games are featured on the platform and force game developers to use their payment system. This lack of transparency and obligation ends up costing game developers a lot.

Loyal gamers play a significant role for the success of a game, but they do not really have ownership of their games; they instead have a license to play the game on a platform. So gamers cannot resell their digital purchases as they could with physical disks and cartridges. Because of this, gamers have not been properly compensated for the value they have created. Even worse, some gamers fall victim to fraud when third party sites promise compensation for hard-earned digital items.

With blockchain and smart contract technology, we believe Yumerium can offer solutions to these problems along with the introduction of the earn-to-play model with digital scarcity and crypto incentive system built in. Loyal gamers are properly compensated and game developers reach new audiences with transparent marketing tools.

Game developers can set up rewards for the gamers with Yumerium as they want, e.g. giving out YUM for watching promotional videos, sharing links to social networks, leaving review for their game, etc. Through this reward system, gamers will be more incentivized to participate in the community proactively. This incentive will be funded from the publisher’s “Marketing Fund” pool.

The first generation of the digital revolution brought us the Internet of information. The second generation—powered by blockchain technology—is bringing us the Internet of value: a new, distributed platform that can help us reshape the world of business and transform the old order of human affairs for the better.

Blockchain is the ingeniously simple, revolutionary protocol that allows transactions to be simultaneously anonymous and secure by maintaining a tamperproof public ledger of value. Though it’s the technology that drives bitcoin and other digital currencies, the underlying framework has the potential to go far beyond these and record virtually everything of value to humankind.

Yumerium is focused in building the ecosystem of players to enjoy the benefit of service. If a game developer has a great game and want to go to a platform, they have to pay a fee of 30%. On Yumerium ecosystem the players can own their credit by playing the game, so the platform fee can be reduced, close to zero.

Open, trustworthy, and secure smart contracts that verifies the authenticity of developers and gamers. When both parties know that the system cannot be taken advantage in favor of one party, both parties can trust each other and exchange tokens.
Token rewards for game achievements to allow developers run contests and marketing campaigns cheaper, safer, and easier than ever before. Developers can then motivate gamers to play and improve retention metrics, while gamers can receive tokens to spend in any Yumerium game.
Compensate influencers for referring or reviewing games. Spread the word with a tool more powerful than traditional ads; the word of a trustworthy internet celebrity.
Decentralized crowdfunding to safely fund future projects through gamer support. Since no one controls the system, campaigns are far cheaper than those of traditional crowdfunding sites.
