Huang emphasized that a key sticking point for P2E blockchain games is sustainability over the long term. She said many P2E games depend on a constant flow of new users to stay profitable, and are impacted by players constantly withdrawing money and taking away value from the game.
“We don’t know how many players are going to enter the economy. So we need to realize that building a game isn’t just about how the game is played, it’s about the economic system and how sustainable things are,” she said.
Huang said Nyan Heroes’ sustainability model is built on a number of factors such as introducing an in-game stablecoin to reduce the volatility of its assets, staking rewards on NFTs, and experiencing triple activity. similar to how Fortnite has “historically attracted players” who want to spend money on the game:
“The way we solve this problem is to create a better game where users really want to play the game and put value into the system to balance the players entering the ecosystem to take advantage of the price. treat.”
“We keep the in-game token stable so that the value of your in-game items doesn’t get damaged and burned. And we feel that’s what players need to want to stay with a game. You don’t want your in-game items worth $1,000 one day and then $10 the next day,” she added.
