Behind the golden craze of the chain play guild: many minors were exchanged for various dangerous items.

In August of this year, when the Yield Guild Games gained popularity in the market after their best game, Axie Infinity, most people couldn't have imagined or even said that “Chain Game Guild” would be a passion. It's a hot game. name method.

In Chain Catcher's weekly financial analysis last month, the frequency of Chain Game Association funding is second highest after the chain game company itself, and many companies in the market like a16z are drawing the line. .

The "Game Association" originally referred to a group of online gamers in the early stages of Internet game development and had rules and restrictions. With the rise of the “Play to Win” blockchain game (P2E, play and win), the new joint venture organization has a clear financial goal. At the initial stage of game development is weak, due to the integration situation and the role of the market is slowly becoming the main role of the game chain. Track.

Compared to the early main guilds such as the YGG, run by the Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), which were loose and watery, many indoor playground games were still under construction. In interviews with Chaincatcher, most of the internal groups were replaced by existing mining workers and were seen as small and functional. More importantly, does the current guild really have enough strength to unite?

As the job chain game itself changes, what is the future direction of the guild's development? Is this the type of club organization expansion? Participants and analysts responded in the same way.

The miner found the place.

In a Chain Catcher report last July, Chinese cryptocurrency miners announced the final countdown, with some of the smaller bitcoin miners choosing to travel, while smaller and smaller miners decided to wait. As the clock sets itself at the end of the year, the long-awaited miners also see the answer.

Shen An has apparently made more phone calls in the past six months. Shen'an is a member of the crypto venture capital organization. The company began operating and overseeing the mining operations of Filecoin miners in China. This summer, as required by law, minors must be abandoned or sent abroad.

Later, with the help of the company's first NFT venture capitalist, Shen An and his colleagues discovered the Axie Infinity chain game. The company is starting to focus on GameFi due to internal and external functionality. In addition to his own "accomplishments," he has helped consumers create their own hip studios. At present, there are related agencies in Changsha, Hangzhou, Shandong, Xi '. Chongqing and other places. Group organization.

With the arrival of gold in August, Fernando from Shenzhen is also entering a cycle reversal. Fernando has been involved in both blockchain education and training monitoring for 18 years and has been involved in the Difinity Public Works Chain (ICP) and the storage and mining industry. Swarm (BZZ). After energy-intensive mining activities were framed by energy and environmental protection laws, Fernando's first business venture was unsustainable and did not require relocation. “But the capital in the mining cycle is huge and there is room. Then the rise of the supply chain brought in a lot of money in the short term and created a wave of wealth,” said Fernando.

Shen'an and Fernando will not be excluded. Several industry insiders interviewed by Chain Catcher said:Most of the people currently involved in mining for gold from the chains have been traded by mining groups, which may be low-income currency miners such as Filecoin and Ethereum. The size of the mines it operates is limited. , it is not easy to go to sea.

The king, who works for a national humanitarian organization, told Chaincatcher that guilds in Korea started to increase after the meta-world concept exploded last October. less than 1,000.

Unlike the call to action for the YGG online community, guilds also rely on placement. Fernando opened gold markets in Shenzhen, Xi'an, Zhuhai and other regions, with a total investment of 100 million yuan in reserves. In all aspects of hot work, Fernando believes humanity is the best fit.

“More students can join the group. The group never needs 'community recruiting',” Fernando said. It will come." According to Fernando, people only claim "responsibility for the game" after they come to the studio.

"I had to teach him how to play and how to manage. I finished the play account I gave him in one day and that's good. Everything else." Fernando said that based on the current income from the sport, candidates can earn a salary of 300 to 500 yuan per day. The level of remuneration is linked to the performance of the sport and the level of income in the sport, and the gold miner team performs a “performance measure” based on a number of measures before the final payment.

Unlike the Fernando team, the gold mine set up by Shen'an originally had its own team (Editor's note: operating and maintenance staff of the first mining machines, etc.) and not necessarily There will be additional recruitments. However, if the gold industry of Shen'an's own company is to be completed manually, it often uses foreign organizations to work and recruit "scientists" to advertise and work on their work on the Discord platform. . As with YGG, the income of Shen'an team and operator is also "3-7 cents".

There are also situations that require a lot of staff. According to an interview with Chaincatcher, it's common in the industry to use paperwork to make money. “If Gold Studio accepts ten million dollars, the whole spreadsheet will cost more. It would be better if it could follow the script,” Fernando said.

The text and use artificial artificial equipment is dependent on the type and content formation of the game. Fernando and shen takes their own financial economic trade for aIXe Infinity, Cyber Drag, and the first filter trace. And play. There is no difference in the essence of the system of view of shamp, and groups cannot invest as much money.

Axie Infinity has a lot of “everyone fights” scenes, so making gold often requires real work for humans. Shen An said that the situation can only be resolved in this kind of customs. But Shen An also pointed out that due to the rapid recovery cycle, many hot sports teams go for the “financial board” game, which is rarely played. This type of hot game is usually made up of notes with a backing book.

“In the beginning (chain play) it was like 4,399 mini-games. They were online games. It was very simple. Really, it was very boring. It would take a long time to finish. But if you go out there and get some help. With the script you can save time, at the same time it will be better and the repayment cycle will be faster, "said Fernando.

The return is proportional to the risk and depends on the game you choose for your gold. Fernando and Shen An both believe:“Investment and research” is an important link in Chain Game Gold.

According to Shen'an, the marketing company participates in industry scouting of more than twelve games per day and sends them to the Shen'an team to learn more about the game. All interests, plans and track record of the investment team. , and the playability of the game. After the above conditions were met, the game chain project was turned into a hot machine (cell phone, computer) to a team of experts for game design. , creation of scripts and scripts. Finally, the above process has been exported to complete the process of various heat treatment factories.

“If you don't make your investment in research or plan accordingly, you'll hurt a lot of people because it can still be an investment in the event,” Fernando said.

danger

"The risk of competitive gambling is very high right now." Shen An said that the level of "addiction" of the hot game and whether the design industry makes sense are the key points.

Due to the popularity of the chain game track and most of the resulting impact, Fernando has found a hot spot in Shenzhen, many participants will not do a very detailed survey. "Get involved first. This incident happens a lot."

Yi Yi, analyst at Basic Capital, told Chaincatcher: “Currently, blockchain games are promoted in two categories: 'play for fun' and 'play for money.' For level game development, the games for entertainment are often unsatisfactory. ”Most of the support for blockchain games is gambling. "

When engaging in the desire to earn money and get rich meets a project with irrational production and manufacturing costs, the risk of loss is infinitely magnified. From Shen'an's perspective, games that have been very popular for quite some time now, such as Farmers World and Spaceships, do not appear to play in games. According to Fernando and Shen'an, the life cycle of this type of touring project typically lasts two to three months. Fernando said, “If you enter the market with a 15-day (on-demand) payback cycle, you can get the payback benefits in 2-3 months, which could hurt the leader in some ways. "

Taking Global Workers as an example, data from DapprRader shows that the average price of NFTs has fallen almost 60% in the past 7 days.

Shen'an believes that the “money” type of chain game will not descend from the story scene. According to his observations, some of his peers around him were pushing "financial records" and now continue to push Thetan Arena and Axie Infinity.

Besides choosing the right project, the hot art process really does come with its risks.

Fernando added that if you want to get funding for the script, you have to go through the space that will be in the program. Fernando said that once the commodity on the market is created, Trojan horse services could be sent to read private numbers and sensitive information as the user uses them, thereby reducing revenue or account theft.

Therefore, Fernando and Shen'an groups used to create text.

When the lines of play exploded, local miners entered the Gold Guild in frustration. Regarding legal risk, Fernando and Shen'an are more optimistic, saying that there is still a gold mining industry in traditional sport, compared to gold mining, where the money and what to invest are more important.

Prosecutor Guo Yatao, head of the attorney general's office, told the chain catchers that the activities carried out by the Chain Game Association itself were not consistent with voice management, as it went into the current custom of " virtual currency ". . National citizens have the principle of "nothing is prohibited by law", but participation in crime must be regulated and regulated by law. Deposit money, donate tokens, etc. is considered a financial offense.

Additionally, during organizational development, if the process involves "fraudulent" behavior and a pay group, it is likely that the MLM will be affected by criminal activity.Lawyer Guo Yatao identifies as follows: “The most important aspect of MLM business is that it is fraudulent. Tools by "value introduction" paid by new members because their activities cannot generate commercial profitability. In addition, the number of new members must be increased. By some means to keep the MLM organization afloat. However, resources have been limited as MLM organizations cannot grow forever. "

He also pointed out that group benefits most often refer to situations where "the number of development workers is the basis for reimbursement or reimbursement".

What is the future of the Chain Game Association?

According to Basic Capital's Yiyi analysis, the Chain Game Association is an industry that inevitably reaches a stage of development of the economic ecosystem.

Based on the game layout stage, it is believed that in the first stage, game publishing platforms and game technology service providers will take the lead and develop, and the second stage , various sets of terminals will appear in the market. At the end of this year or next, maybe there will be a lot of sports ideas released, the most important of which is the work, care and development after the games are released. In the meantime, you have to rely on a variety of "guilds" to provide a lot of backing and support for both sides. As a result, competitors are slowly entering the orbit of the Chain Game Association.

However, despite the significant advantages of the current gold market, the question remains whether the overall functioning of national trading organizations has developed.

In terms of the logic of the real estate industry, the greatest value of the guild play to attract and prepare real cars.However, according to insiders, the content of the game is now very straightforward, so the hot guild is mostly on the maps, and there aren't many real players who have invested. Therefore, in the first stage of the development of the chain game, the real “suction” effect of the existing national guilds can be ruled out.

However, according to Fernando's survey, some students who come to his offline studio to work part-time may "play hot" by starting their own channel after returning to their hotel. alone. The emergence of this electric field can affect the efficiency of the hot current market workshop.

However, because of the notion of regulatory authority, can a home-based competition organization retain its current form?

Yiyi believes that national chain game guilds cannot "haggle" and thinks that in the end these national organizations will be able to connect with foreign chain platforms (guilds) with real trading and information capacity.

The guild leadership is YFI (Yearn Finance) from DeFi, which is similar to “machine gun pool” (Note: DeFi machine gun pool is also called “revenue pool”… Was still high). “Yiyi piv example.

Entrepreneurs can manage the work data of all users, understand and connect more popular games, and in this process, connect the needs of the game with external equipment and must have commercial availability. Yiyi said, "If it was just a broken studio or a team working on it, there wouldn't be stress in business development."

Shen'an also believes that in the future more guilds will transition to a DAO organization. "It's different and future." Home doctors said, "We are not doing the truth (guild platform, DAO group)" because of dangerous laws and regulations.

What is a mature "production" guild? For example, once players have entered the guild platform, the platform may be more favorable and risky to play, and may make NFT purchases and libraries on the platform.

However, Yiyi believes National Guilds are still an addition to the current ecosystem. "These guilds are always related first to the education of the industry. It is about bringing together these gold sellers. In the future, mature products will be directly related to them. Called only Chinese guild."

He predicts that future guild products will meet both.On the other hand, there will be services for C-end customers from different markets and clients, while having their own organization and providing internal consumer management for B-end buyers in decentralized markets. .

However, during the development of the main guild platform, this expectation is still far away.

Yield Gmes Guild's plans, free paper loan, YGG token loan agreement, etc. are not yet completed, and similar products are still at the silver stage.

“It doesn't happen at night, everything happens slowly,” Yiyi said.
