With the entirety of the tech industry kneeling before concepts like metaverse and web3 gaming, not many have calculated that the average gamer would be quite resistant to the idea. 

Using technology in a way that offers no fun that offers no fun but rather tiny monetary rewards can quickly be opened up for mass exploitation of these new platforms, earning resentment from the community. 

Gamers' grief about such cash-grab attempts has been represented even in the much-beloved Apple Original comedy series Mythic Quest. 

Cultural Problems In Web3 Gaming

In a space with so much potential for decentralization, ‘Play-to-earn’ projects are now having a hard time appealing to the users that matter – true gaming enthusiasts, game developers, and streamers, and esports champions. 

This means that the current state of the blockchain gaming industry holds little technology that can create exciting in-game crypto economies and proper player incentives.

Play-to-Earn quickly became Pay-to-Earn, which made it impossible for the average enthusiast to join in and experience what was promised. Web3 games did not get off to a great start, and started getting poorer quality over time, as projects started copying each other at scale. 

With most of them being on the Ethereum network, high gas fees make blockchain gaming an expensive treat, especially when considering the fact that game-related transactions contribute over half of all blockchain transactions in 2022 (source: DappRadar). How does one go about solving these and so many other issues to create scalable networks with high throughputs?

An Ecosystem That Can Change Everything  

The growing popularity and list of use cases for multi-chain wallets have enabled cheaper transactions, and inclusion of users from different chains: interoperability is key.  

This small but gem-of-a-feature has the capacity to turn the tables and make Play-to-Earn actually worth it for the average gamer. Enter Neon Link.

Neon Link is a blockchain gaming project with a full-blown ecosystem of products, coming to the market soon. 

To date, one could count on the fingers of a hand the number of gaming projects that are working on multi-product ecosystems, as well as new implementations of Web3 tech specifically built for gaming. 

The Neon Link Platform Suite

A suite of products is coming soon from the blockchain labs at Neon Link, which include:

• Decentralized Exchange. NEON DEX is bringing cross-chain-functional and interoperable farming and staking to blockchain gaming, along with fiat to crypto and crypto to crypto swaps. With it, users can make different chains "talk" to each other, thereby increasing speed and efficiency, and lowering the cost of transactions.
• Neon Bridge. Users will be able to bridge their assets between Ethereum, Avalanche, BNB, Fantom, and more chains coming soon. With the bridge already operational, enthusiasts are enabled to move seamlessly between major networks and transact without limits. 
• Neon Gamer ID & Naming Service. NNS is enabling domains that will work across the entire ecosystem, powering avatars, profile data, and more on-chain. 
• NFT Marketplace. A marketplace for all non-fungible digital assets within the Neon ecosystem. Powered by both Ethereum and Neon networks, the platform offers truly secure Peer to Peer (P2P) trade and extremely low fees.
• Neon Wallet. The host of the assets and in-game items of the Neon Link ecosystem. Compatible with any EVM, it is a cross-chain wallet allowing for access to any network or blockchain application. It's fast, it's secure, it's non-custodial. Available very soon on iOS, Android, and Chrome.
• Neon Saga. An immersive NFT card game featuring fantasy beasts and other creatures, where users can collect rare cards, build decks, participate in tournaments, and more. This will create a new market of NFT card collectibles for players to trade in.
• Ascend the End. Set in a dystopian future, a survival game where every asset is on-chain, only purchasable using $NEON, and viewable in the Neon Wallet. Gamers will enjoy high-value rewards and competitions.
• Neon Punks Arcade. An NFT collection of futuristic, cyber characters who live on the planet Ferrum. They will be used by players to battle with each other in the upcoming Neon Link games. Anyone can mint a Neon Punk and play the Neon Punks Arcade collection of games. 

The products outlined above can seamlessly interact with each other, making on-chain gaming more efficient than ever before. These features are built, tested, and are in the process of being deployed.

The Vision Behind Neon Link

Neon Link came to the world of web3 gaming from a collection of ideas and issues that most projects would not dare to attempt to solve. 

In addition to the ever-growing list of Neon Link products, enthusiasts should note that Neon Link sits on its own chain and that both testnet and mainnet have been built in 2022. 

This means, more technical users can become validators, confirming transactions and keeping the network running, for which they're offered rewards. As the outline of products has shown, Neon Link is also entering the blockchain name service race with a focus on usernames for web3 games. 

So many products that are both innovative and fun to use require a lot of programming and design power to be built. 

To help get them off the ground, Neon Link has partnered with a respected boutique game development studio that's run by industry-redefining creatives, Wasiona, a group of dedicated developers bringing web3 utility to triple-A video games.

Incentives Attractive To Everyone In Crypto

In addition to the limited private sale and other token sales, Neon Link has also set a portion of $NEON aside for campaigns, competitions, and airdrops. 

In the process of purchasing tokens, Neon Link fans are invited to join the Neon Ambassador program, as well as the Neon meet-up program, where even more rewards and VIP spots will be up for grabs soon.

Growth Potential On The Horizon

Neon Link and the robust suite of on-chain platforms it’s surrounded by is already built, which will allow the team to launch many impressive products at once.

Token holders and enthusiasts from every chain are invited to follow Neon Link on Twitter for the upcoming product launch, as well as private sale updates. You can pre-register on the website https://www.neonlink.io/. 

Soon, the whole ecosystem of digital assets, including tokenized game assets will open up for the public, with the potential to completely change the perception of blockchain games through new tech and even newer features.
