The decentralised autonomous organisation Merit Circle foresees a new era in which gaming not only costs money but also creates financial opportunities.

NFTs bring gaming to a whole new level by adding an earning element on top of this gaming experience and opening up the possibility to easily create open economies . Play &amp; earn blends video games with in-game economics that reward players with NFTs for their performance. Gamers can sell their NFTs in games and across marketplaces to other players and collectors. Ownership of NFTs can also grant access, rights and benefits from reward schemes, live events and early releases. NFTs make certain aspects of games tradeable and turned the play &amp; earn industry into the biggest development in gaming nowadays. According to Alexis Ohanian, the founder of Reddit, 90 per cent of people within the next five years will not play a video game unless they are being properly valued for that time.<br><br>Starting in 2021, Merit Circle focuses on developing the play &amp; earn economy and has already gathered a massive community that\u2019s now the most significant gaming DAO in the industry, both in market value and treasury size. To pave the way for future growth, Merit Circle asked DEPT\u00ae to create a revolutionary NFT marketplace that will truly make its gamers\u2019 lives better. Specific wishes were to automate the onboarding process for gamers and enrich their community with coaching and education that goes beyond gaming. And finally, to create a clear financial overview with a pay-out function that integrates multiple crypto wallets.\t<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t<div class=\"block-title-and-content__social-links\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.deptagency.com\/en-in\/case\/creating-the-gaming-community-platform-that-will-accelerate-the-play-earn-industry\/\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-share-url=\"https:\/\/www.deptagency.com\/en-in\/case\/creating-the-gaming-community-platform-that-will-accelerate-the-play-earn-industry\/\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-share-title=\"Creating the Gaming Community Platform that will accelerate the play &#038;

This goes beyond just creating an account: it\u2019s about getting familiar with the concept of Play &amp; Earn gaming, helping with the right set-up of the wallet and game device, choosing the right game and teaching newcomers the basics. In a new platform built from scratch, we automated this whole process while still ensuring every single gamer feels comfortable, welcome and heard. By adding elements of comradery, advice and interaction to the community, we aim to make play &amp; earn gaming more accessible.<br><br>Currently, Merit Circle provides thousands of gamers with scholarships to play the popular games Axie Infinity, and Vulcan Forged for free. Making actively participating in the games more accessible to the masses, as for some NFTs, prices can run up to thousands of dollars. In exchange, Merit Circle receives 30% of everything a gamer earns. The community platform supports scholars in all kinds of areas. Scholars and more experienced gamers with the right social skills, so-called coaches, come together here to learn from each other. Progress and achievements are tracked via leaderboards. Coaches not only coach their scholars with game challenges and skill learning but also help with operational processes and educate scholars on crypto, finance and personal development. The platform integrates and facilitates learning, earning and community and forms a significant step towards a competitive and scalable platform in the play &amp; earn gaming industry.\t<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t<div class=\"block-title-and-content__social-links\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.deptagency.com\/en-in\/case\/creating-the-gaming-community-platform-that-will-accelerate-the-play-earn-industry\/\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-share-url=\"https:\/\/www.deptagency.com\/en-in\/case\/creating-the-gaming-community-platform-that-will-accelerate-the-play-earn-industry\/\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-share-title=\"Creating the Gaming Community Platform that will accelerate the play &#038;
