Gaia Everworld is a gaming platform built on the blockchain. The platform offers players full ownership of the native characters. Gaia Everworld believes that players are not incentivized to play. Thus, the platform tries to solve the problem by rewarding users to play in a 'play-to-earn' gaming model. Gaia Everworld's mission is to introduce blockchain technology to the masses through gaming.
The platform seeks to accomplish the mission by combining play-to-earn mechanics with an immersive metaverse experience and dynamic gameplay. Metaverse combines two terms: meta meaning beyond, and _verse _signifies universe. So, metaverse is a virtual world where people can connect, share, and play games. Gaia Everworld allows players to explore the lands, build the kingdoms, collect, breed, and battle Gaia.
Gaia is the mythical warring creature of Gaia EverWorld. The breeding mechanism and the EverWorld Marketplace are two of the important features of the gaming environment. In simple terms, the breeding mechanism is creating a new Gaia based on the genes from the parents. In the EverWorld Marketplace, users can search through different items and Gaia to trade. Repeatedly breeding the same Gaia increases the GAIA EVERWorld (GAIA) token cost.
According to the whitepaper, an ERC-20 token, GAIA is a governance and marketplace currency. The holders can stake the token to receive GAIA staking rewards. Also, holders get voting rights on proposals for the game's future. GAIA is also the accepted currency in the EverWorld Marketplace. Tokens earned through the play-to-earn mechanism are tradable right away.
The long-term vision for the game is to become fully decentralized, so the community gets full control over future developments. The platform seeks to reward community members with the GAIA governance token for participating in the decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO) and creating new features.
