On June 21st, BlockBeats conducted a text AMA titled "A New Paradigm for Gaming Platforms" and invited

Bozena Rezab, CEO of GAMEE, a game platform under Animoca Brands and co-creator, talked about the prospects and prospects of the game platform.

GAMEE has received strategic investment from Binance Labs and is a subsidiary of Animoca Brands. It has attracted more than 40 million users worldwide and aims to provide players with a highly engaging gaming experience.

**The following is a wonderful recap of this AMA. **

**BlockBeats: Today's topic is the new paradigm of the GAMEE game platform, so let the guest make a brief self-introduction first. What is Arc8 and how does it relate to GAMEE and Animoca Brands? **

Bozena Rezab: I co-founded GAMEE 8 years ago and lead the company. Founded with the vision of connecting people through games, the company has now launched more than 100 games and 40 million people have played them.

Three years ago, my team and I started looking at how to make the product better and build a strong community. That's when we got excited about Web3, and we introduced the concept of digital ownership to our community. The team joined Animoca Brands in 2020 and began developing new products together as part of the Animoca Brands family.

Arc8 is one of the largest Web3 applications, it now offers 12 games, connects the wallets of 2.5 million players, and hosts 30 different partners: including but not limited to Mocaverse, Manchester City FC, ATARI, Cool Cats NFT, etc.

**BlockBeats: So what was your original intention to create Arc8, and what role does Animoca Brands play in it? **

Bozena Rezab: We call Arc8 "Blockchain Arcade" and its mission is to connect players, brands and Web3 projects in games. Introduce the value of digital ownership in a fun and easy way, and be the player's first step into Web3.

Arc8 is a mobile platform full of casual style games built on friendly competition and bringing games to Web3. Players can create their first wallet on the platform, and then get rewards in the form of Token and NFT, as well as play our partner games and projects. It can be downloaded in App store and Google play. Download link:

For sophisticated gamers, Arc8 has a highly competitive league with very interesting crypto prize pools. Registration for the first event, Arc8 League Season Zero, is now open. Registration link:

**BlockBeats: For GAMEE, what is the main goal that GAMEE wants to achieve? Will there be any new products and gameplay in the future? **

**Bozena Rezab: **GAMEE is a highly sticky, "play and own"

A mobile game company, focusing on introducing mass game users to Web3. Our focus now is Arc8, mobile entertainment connecting gamers, brands and Web3 projects.

**BlockBeats: Ask a question about Token, which everyone cares about. We are concerned that the token GMEE of GAMEE is still used in the Arc8 platform, is it not considered to issue the platform token of Arc8? Can you briefly describe Arc8's token economic model? **

**Bozena Rezab:**Game Tokens (GMEE) is a reward token that powers all of our players, the function is more like an "entry" token, which means that players use tokens to buy game items, League Pass, NFTs and more. There are a limited number of tokens that we use to reward the community, but most rewards come from our partners who want to reach our users.

The role of GMEE is also reflected in partnerships. Brands and Web3 projects pay some fees in GMEE to attract players through game Token distribution, NFT, reward tasks and other benefits.

In the next step, we hope that communities and brands can run their own custom activities on Arc8, and then they will need to pledge GMEE Token, so more and more users will pledge GMEE in the future.

**BlockBeats: Mentioning NFT above, we saw GAMEE launch a G-bot NFT in 2021 and it sold out within 4 minutes when it was first released. Will Arc8 have new NFTs in the future? **

Bozena Rezab: G-Bots has a very enthusiastic community, there are two games in progress on Arc8, and we are working on getting the community to run their own campaigns on Arc8.

When it comes to the next NFT, we need to talk about it, because it is closely related to the player's own progress. More customization, as players play the game, they will be able to customize their characters and eventually mint them into NFTs with further utility. So instead of NFT sales, it's game progression that leads players to own something unique. It is planned to launch in September.

**BlockBeats: There is an event called Arc8 League in Arc8 recently, it is now SEASON 0, and there is a whitelist, what kind of event is this? What is the goal of the Arc8 League? **

Bozena Rezab: The Arc8 League is a competitive event for Web3 players with a very interesting crypto prize pool. The first event, Arc8 League SEASON 0 is now open for whitelist registration (link above), this season is a small season, we will only provide passes to 555 people. In September, there's going to be a big launch event, but it's a good idea to play around early in SEASON 0.

**BlockBeats：

It was mentioned just now that you have many event partners. Who are the event partners? How do they contribute to Arc8 League? **

Bozena Rezab: In this event, partners will bring rewards or opportunities for communication. Although it is an event, it is actually more like a festival. Arc8 released games, held competitions, and partners brought rewards. For them, it's also a way of exposing and introducing their projects. For players, they love to compete, enjoy Arc8's new games, and get rewarded.

**BlockBeats: Can you tell us about the promotion strategy of Arc8 League? Who is your target audience? **

**Bozena Rezab：**在

SEASON 0

In , we will serve the community and our closest partners. However, since the first season, the campaign has grown even bigger, and we are working with guilds, DAOs, and communities around the world to connect them to in-game competitions and offer great prize pools.

**BlockBeats: So how do users participate, what is the reward standard, and is there any preferential treatment for early participants? **

Bozena Rezab: In Arc8 League, there is a daily reward competition based on points leaderboard. We also provide rewards from partners for everyone, so the top players can use their skills to get Token rewards, but there are also general rewards, and participants will get some rewards. SEASON 0 is prepared for early players. Tokens with SEASON 0 will provide their holders with a whitelist for the first season.

**BlockBeats: What are the future plans for the Arc8 platform? What should we expect in the near future? **

Ultimately, we want any community, brand, or project to be able to run Arc8 in their own way. Choose your own joining criteria, rewards, custom game and tournament rules. That's what we aim for, so this event is completely independent of the Game team, customized to the needs of various Web3 communities.
