1-UP

The 1-UP platform arose from humble beginnings. First, using familiar 2D game characters in a simple retro classic battle royale style, helped the platform immediately connect with users. The psychology of the engagement loop factored heavily into the early successes of the 1-UP platform. By keeping the gameplay style comparatively simplistic yet sufficiently dynamic, the barrier to entry for players dropped significantly compared to blockchain gaming and legacy AAA titles. The initial stages of the 1-UP platform have proven to be a resounding success. Now, the platform looks to the future of gaming and seeks to utilize our existing technology along with additional value to significantly increase the scale and scope of the 1-UP service offerings. The total addressable market for gaming continues to grow with each year, and related industry verticals such as e-sports betting provide a massive latent opportunity for young and nimble startups and their communities. Now we can decentralize esports winnings to every single player instead of just the few professional sports players. Spectators can still watch and bet on their favorite players as well. Tapping into the vast pool of creativity in the free market when it comes to content creation will be at the core of 1-UP. We provide simple and intuitive drag and drop tools, letting the world flood the platform with content. From skins, characters, music packs, animation packs, text bubbles to level designs themselves. The best content will be minted as NFTs and curated to the top by the free market. Social status is a powerful emotional trigger for certain players who will want to show off their shiny new character or weapon skins, badges or rank. Display text bubbles or stickers within the lobby or 2d hang out areas. Some will gather to match make and play games but others will just relax and talk to a crowd about their recent game sessions. NFTs will serve to enhance this experience where players can share a world within the 1-UP combat universe.
