This traditional free-to-play model employs a closed-loop ownership system in which your in-game digital assets cannot be resold or traded to other players.   ::Image[]{src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdVOZyyOaBlIauPF7-QS64nmqHnR7b2oYeZhrI98GPoD-N8CwMyPXNeRFNXBD1RIM2B6y6IpCMpDbVocJQY6L6IjymUUCkao-m8S2auft1N8cO_W5coV_64J7aWvuPXj5IgAZN6wPdKIpFF2Qwo95HonFde4cCP6AowqMwoc0bdzuGvCE2gfg?key=WgqbgR0uTOjz0E19TrMbtg" signedSrc size="82" width="1159" height="722" position="center" caption} While this more accessible model has greatly expanded the market’s total addressable audience, it has evolved to become increasingly predatory in nature in order to drive more microtransaction volume. As a result, the global online microtransaction market is expected to grow from $76.66 billion in 2023 to [**$117.95 billion**](https://www.researchandmarkets.com/report/online-microtransaction) in 2027 at a CAGR of 11.4%.  Among the [**3.24 billion**](https://playtoday.co/blog/stats/gamer-demographics/) gamers in the world, a small percentage contribute a significant share of the in-game microtransaction revenue in gaming. It’s called the whale phenomenon. Using elements like dynamic pricing and non-transparent loot boxes drop rates, has become increasingly common to appeal to affluent players who statistically spend the most. A 2023 [**Research & Market Report**](https://www.researchandmarkets.com/report/online-microtransaction) shows that only 3.5% of gamers spend money in-app, but those users are big spenders, spending 30 times more than the average gamer (paying and non-paying) with $9.39 vs. $0.32 a month per gaming app.   A new model for creating game economies has emerged from the advances in web3 tech that aims to address this spending disparity and democratize digital worlds. In this model, open market dynamics allow game assets to retain value, creating new incentives for players of all types. Savvy game developers are using web3 tech to empower players to trade their assets, giving them a superior sense of ownership and control. **Addressing Inequitable Payouts & Player Salaries** Events like Dota’s The International keep 75% of their crowdfunded prize pools, categorized as costs for running the tournament and creating the additional in-game content. The 2022 prize pool topped $40 million, thanks to the crowdfunding mechanism which allocated 25% of the proceeds from purchasing of the game’s battle pass to the event’s prize pool. Such a large prize pool going towards just 1 tournament benefits only top players, ignoring the thousands of semi-pro and pro players who were not the top 16 teams in the world.  We believe esports leagues can become easier to bootstrap through onchain crowdfunding that enables radical transparency through its decentralized nature, enabling all financial transactions to be documented and auditable through using a block explorer. This will in turn allow for cheaper operational costs by facilitating automated payouts and achieve a wider distribution of payments to more players overall.  **Addressing Player Salaries ** In most traditional sports, player salaries are public. With that information, players can construct their own worth when negotiating and deciding which organization to sign multi-year agreements with. For players who are part of a larger org, their prize money is first sent from the game developer to their team’s owner.  The entire payment processing time from game dev to org to player can then take weeks or months to complete. For larger leagues where there can be an extensive web of different types of payments, it’s especially crucial to be able to properly and transparently manage league funds. As seen in the past with examples of centralized leagues like the H1Z1 league, it was alleged that significant amounts of league funds were spent on lavish parties with content creators. The league did not progress to a second split and ultimately shut down, failing to pay organizations promised money from the full contract.  **Rise & Fall of Play2Earn** As the mainstream use cases in the web3 industry accelerated in the post-COVID world, a phenomenon in web3 gaming called ‘Play2Earn’ gained popularity that saw millions of gamers earning supplemental income while playing web3 games.  In theory, the enhanced ownership, liquidity, and tracking capabilities of blockchain gaming tech is intended to empower the player. However, the first iteration of this model came with many flaws, focusing predominantly on the financial aspects while lacking the high quality gameplay experiences that are needed to sustain a game’s community and economy for the long term. In its purest form, the P2E philosophy aimed to put players' digital property rights at the center of the game's economy. These enhanced ownership features and open game economics have gained traction amongst gamers in emerging economies where the rewards, in some cases, have been significant. Summarizing the good and bad that came from the previous cycle of web3 gaming: **The Good:** - Players experienced enhanced ownership of their digital assets, allowing for more autonomy with how they trade and spend them. - Game assets demonstrated provable scarcity and provenance by being programmatic in nature.  - The ability to participate in a digital economy with goods and services that have real-world value and utility. - Provided the gaming industry with a foundational base of knowledge of how digital economies can enhance ownership of assets and create unique fundraising mechanisms for independent game development. **The Bad:** - “Playing” felt more like a task than a game due to the lack of quality gameplay. - Barrier to entry was too high for most players, both financially and UX wise. - Some games focused on extracting value from communities rather than creating a long-term sustainable economy. - Tokenomics designs were fundamentally flawed. This is proven by the fact we haven’t seen a hit game at scale (1M+ DAUs). - The challenges faced by playing a web3 game are still higher than those of web2 games that comparatively are “ready to play” and require no prior knowledge of complementary technologies such as a wallet in web3 games. The Future of Onchain Gaming In reflecting on the lessons from the early challenges in web3 gaming, we are poised to move forward into a new era with a refined approach. Here are three fundamental principles that the open economy philosophy of onchain gaming upholds: 1\) **Digital Property Rights** - Players own and control their in-game digital which make them freely tradable with others. Player accounts, hard earned achievements, and the associated in-game assets cannot fully be stripped away from their wallets, and they may even accrue value over time. Web3 gaming business models are focused on creating user-centric ecosystems where players have digital property rights and can build experiences on top of the game’s foundation. We *finally* have the opportunity to empower the player. 2\) **Open Game Economies** - Game developers foster an open ecosystem where item supplies and most commerce transactions are fully transparent. [**Composability**](https://learn.bybit.com/blockchain/what-is-composability-crypto/) refers to the ability to combine existing blockchain components in multiple ways and create something new.  - If a blockchain is composable, developers who work with it can easily design things like decentralized apps and cross-chain protocols. The ethos of composability means communities are encouraged to build additional tools on top of the game’s base experience that provide value to the overall community. 3\) **Productive Leisure Time** - Most importantly, these games must be inherently fun. Web3-enabled games that are both enjoyable and have sustainables economies open up a new category of productive leisure time. Players can opt-in to monetize their time spent gaming, transcending what it means to ‘play’ and offering universal earnings opportunities. ## Market Opportunity - Global Esports Market: In 2022, the global esports audience will grow +8.7% year on year to reach [**532 million**](https://newzoo.com/resources/trend-reports/newzoo-global-esports-live-streaming-market-report-2022-free-version).

Now, we aim to build an competitive ecosystem for players and fans to participate across both tournaments and predictions. Prediction markets are on the rise, fueled by the widespread use of stablecoins and the growing interest in significant cultural events spanning politics to entertainment. These markets serve as efficient information hubs, with prices reflecting the collective sentiment on future event probabilities. They offer a real-time insight into public knowledge regarding specific occurrences, creating a dynamic competitive landscape to reach a consensus through intellect and skill. The "Wisdom of Crowds" suggests that collective opinions of large and diverse groups often surpass the accuracy and insight of individual judgment. **Predictions Built For Gamers** Users can create and participate in prediction markets centered around topics in gaming, memes, streamers, current events, and crypto. Prediction markets are well suited for gaming due to the regularity of big events and trending topics. Large esports tournaments every month, noteworthy streamers achievements, and the rapid pace at which developments happen within web3 are all areas where Forkast will host specialized markets. The exponential growth of esports audience's to over [**261 million monthly viewers**](https://newzoo.com/resources/trend-reports/newzoo-global-esports-live-streaming-market-report-2022-free-version), coupled with the establishment of well-structured leagues and tournaments, sets a solid foundation for regular predictions. Gaming is arguably the most influential element in online culture, and as such, it’s a huge topic of focus on social platforms like X with [**billions of tweets**](https://blog.x.com/en_us/topics/insights/2022/twitter-gaming-reports-record-conversation-volume-for-first-half-of-2022) per year and [**200 million daily active users**](https://www.thinkwithgoogle.com/marketing-strategies/video/gaming-related-youtube-view-statistics/#:~\:text=200%20million%20people%20watch%20gaming,of%20the%202018%20Super%20Bowl.) consuming gaming content on YouTube. Streamers such as IShowSpeed and Kai Cenat have proven their talent for building some of the largest and most dedicated fan bases worldwide. Despite this massive interest from fans, there's an absence of a global prediction market tailored to the hundreds of millions of gaming enthusiasts worldwide. **Making Predictions** ![](https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ikV2hDBQf6j1yxivNctOp-dvN9jdh9Qeay4zbHY7nQk-20240926-142053.png) As a fan or spectator, you can engage in predictions across a wide variety of events, ranging from esports tournament stats to events surrounding famed content creators. This engagement elevates the interactive experience of watching major tournaments and livestreamers to be more immersive and thrilling. Each prediction market typically revolves around a binary question with a "Yes" or "No" outcome. Participants trade units of Yes or No which are priced between $0.01 and $1.00, reflecting the market's perceived probability of an event occurring. Players will be rewarded for their intellect and skill in making accurate predictions. ::Image[]{src="https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ikV2hDBQf6j1yxivNctOp-oT-QK0YR36_ItF32a6W8l-20240825-002814.png" signedSrc size="90" width="1102" height="836" position="center" caption} **Market Resolution** When the event's outcome is determined, the market resolves, and the Yes and No units are settled, reflecting either $1.00 each for correct outcomes and $0.00 each for incorrect outcomes. In order to avoid stalemate market results, CG will provide detailed language referencing potential ambiguous edge case scenarios. **Market Regularity** Established esports tournaments and popular livestreamers provide a stable and predictable betting environment that allows for weekly markets. This enhanced fan engagement not only sustains viewer interest but also motivates them to return to watch streams regularly, nurturing a sense of community among spectators. **Market Fees** ::::LinkArray{contentSource="CUSTOM"} :::LinkArrayItem{headerType="IMAGE" headerImage="https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ikV2hDBQf6j1yxivNctOp-k0nfxC61JOTn1RnXfH-Wg-20240812-144153.png"} [**CGX Token Overview**](docId\:d5uKwzUA61adsckgzBBnz) ::: :::LinkArrayItem{headerType="IMAGE" headerImage="https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ikV2hDBQf6j1yxivNctOp-hBMffLAcIEwdFMS1ucY_n-20240820-134102.png"} [**GamerID**](docId\:uuIVYBs3rmSDGqE6zO2F0) ::: :::LinkArrayItem{headerType="IMAGE" headerImage="https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ikV2hDBQf6j1yxivNctOp-15Gi4riF0P0Dsb66PBa7q-20240820-134155.png"} [**CG+ Subscription**](docId\:rMHvN0wVO5Ox7QY2mizLW) ::: :::LinkArrayItem{headerType="IMAGE" headerImage="https://archbee-image-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/ikV2hDBQf6j1yxivNctOp-plzuQ37-k8cxIsR1q-0zA-20240820-134553.png"} [**Quests & Payments**](docId\:DUwrLx6YCsdQ7_Ykhph9M) ::: :::: [title] GamerID [path] CG+ Subscription/ Your GamerID is a digital identity that works across multiple apps in the CG ecosystem.
