2017 is definitely a year of ICO’s. Plenty of projects and companies have found blockchain model attractive for their business. Gaming industry is quite a good choice to decentralize and implement crypto-economics model.

And what do we see?

We have been watching plenty of gaming projects launching their ICO’s this and previous years. Some of them are matchmaking oriented, betting oriented, trading marketplaces for in-game virtual assets, eSports team management platforms and more and more.

The good news — these two industries will show a good synergy as 2.2 billions of gamers spend a lot of money and make a lot of noise with trillions of yearly transactions.

The bad news — unfortunately, big percentage of these projects will not be interesting for users, won’t show a good traction, and moreover, could be illegal. Let me make a short explanation why.

Few steps to become a millionaire in 2017

Take two words: “cryptocurrency” and “gaming” place them near, and launch an ICO.

The only thing you need is to deploy a smart contract, purchase digital wallet, spend some Bitcoins to make a good PR campaign, and wait for millions of USD sent to your account.

While investors are waiting for high ROI you are going to start looking for a team that actually understand gaming industry, and that is the point when your concept will be changed and redesigned couple of times, a lot of people will be hired, and only after several months you will understand that you are actually just an investor for a business that your hired employees are building now.

“We have carefully analyzed dozens of gaming platforms which pretend to become a blockchain-based service. Most of them don’t really understand gaming, because never started a gaming project. There are good projects indeed, but not so many. We are working on a delivering a dedicated platform that claims to become the biggest one — FLUX and soon we will announce our ICO. We know what we are doing. While we are not so good with ICO’s we are still sure in our success because we understand how our business should work, and why we need blockchain there” — Alexandr Sushko, FLUX project CEO

What is FLUX and why it is different?

FLUX is a gaming platform which satisfies any gaming industry current needs. There are plenty of things in this market that could be changed.

Using FLUX platform players could earn with legal Peer to Peer competitions betting any preferred currency on their winning using absolutely legal model. Meanwhile, developers are becoming a part of a platform using 0% commission (!!!) market for competitive games that could be uploaded and added to matchmaking list. Every time someone is playing, developer earns a “slice of a pie” from the rake fee.

Understanding the importance of community in this specific industry FLUX provides streamers additional donations in tokens and social bounty rewards for every player. The big part of an industry is trading — so we are going to make a trading marketplace for virtual assets, which will be operating with FLUX tokens and include features satisfying trader’s needs.

Moreover, FLUX includes autonomous crowdfunding platform for gaming projects which is also operates using FLUX tokens.

“We are engaged in this project creation for more than a year. We understand how to build a loyalty program for players and let them earn. As an active former players and eSports tournaments participants we know what issues could face a user while trying to trade his item or benefit from one of dozens gaming features available in this industry. We are now going to release our demo-version in open network in few weeks and announce probably biggest and the most creative gaming ICO ever while we are actually developing our product right now, not making false promises. You will see all the cool stuff soon: we have gathered a big amount of materials, events and interactive contests and we are going to release them on our site which will become available in a week.We have made dozens of partnership agreements needed to start. Lawyers, developers, blockchain engineers, business analysts companies that will deliver a product which we have carefully designed. That is the first point when we make an open speech about our project, and we are really happy to finally say a word, and what is more important — make something for this industry. We will make plenty of announcements and explanations soon, so stay connected with us!” — Eugene Shabalkin, FLUX Product Manager.

The team is really happy to answer all the questions on their Facebook, Twitter, Telegram.

Website soon will become available with Flux.fund name. So you can actually track all the info and materials.
