Description: Embers (EMBRS) is a platform and a token on the XRP Ledger. As a platform, game studios can easily register to add a Play-To-Earn mechanism within their games with minimal changes required. This opens up new features and opportunities for their communities.
As a token, players are rewarded Embers within Emberlight: Rekindled (currently in development) as well as any other game in the platform. Embers can then be traded on the XRP Ledger’s Decentralized Exchange (DEX) as well as used as a currency within supported games (such as gaining access to future games, DLC, etc.). We will look to continually expand the use cases of Embers over time.
Unique selling points: What makes this token unique, compared to the broader landscape of tokens?
The video game industry is ever growing. It has overtaken all others in the entertainment world, and has no signs of
stopping. This has led to players expecting new ways to experience gaming (such as seen in the blossoming world of virtual reality), and developers to present these
experiences.
Generally earning a living within the gaming industry revolves around e-sports, streaming, or working in the industry itself. And while the sales of in-game currencies
and items has been a staple for some time, it has not been truly embraced by most game studios.
Blockchain has changed this paradigm. Between tokens that can be rewarded to players, and the explosive growth of NFTs giving true value to in-game items, a developer can present new experiences that allow their players to earn while playing their games.
Quarter Onion Games looks to be a pioneer in this new paradigm. With our XRP Ledger-based platform, Embers
(launched in February 2022), coupled with our game Emberlight: Rekindled, we can prove that this technology can be just as important in games as any other feature for both the player and the developers.
Purpose: What is the reason for issuing a new token, rather than using an existing? What purpose does this token serve, that is not possible with the native XRP token or other already existing tokens?
By issuing EMBRS, we look to have a token whose identity is solely gaming and that caters initially towards Play-To-Earn mechanics within the gaming industry. While nothing inherently holds back the usage of XRP within the EMBRS platform, XRP is a catch-all for a great many use cases across the ever growing ecosystem. Overall, we felt by having a specialized token for gaming, it can be better positioned towards our target markets.
