NFT Game Marketplace Cross-Chain

[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

DarePlay is a platform onboarding traditional games to blockchain games.

DarePlay is a full packaged suite of products, including a blockchain gaming launchpad, an IGO service, and a ready-made marketplace for in-game NFT items.

Three features on the DarePlay platform serve different purposes:

The Blockchain Gaming Launchpad is used to NFTify in-game items, turning traditional games into NFT games.

The IGO Service will be offered to these new-transformed NFT games.

The Marketplace, available on DarePlay, will list their in-game item NFTs on the market, allowing players to buy in-game assets, and especially rent or lease these assets, and earn money.

DarePlay will create a cost-efficient, streamlined platform for traditional game publishers to ride the waves and evolve with blockchain technology.

Users not only buy and sell NFTs but also lease and rent NFTs to earn more money

DareNFT is looking to dominate the market and has already partnered with one of the world's most reputable game publishers, OneSoft. In Q2,2021, OneSoft ranked 15th in the global market as one of the most popular publishers, with nearly 200 million reported installs on Google Play and Apple Store, respectively.

DarePlay’s unique feature is creating Rent-to-Earn and Lease-to-Earn marketplaces for players making Peer-to-Peer exchange

We will collaborate DarePlay with Cardano through Cardano's EVM so we can increase the number of NFT game marketplaces on Cardano. NFT games on Cardano won't have to build their own marketplace anymore

We are also a service provider of converting traditional games into blockchain games. So we will help game publishers turn traditional games into NFT games on Cardano.

We will convince our existing game partners to list their NFT items on DarePlay on Cardano to get great benefits from Cardano

[IMPACT] Please describe how your proposed solution will address the Challenge that you have submitted it in.

We will make it easy for traditional games that want to become blockchain games to be onboard on Cardano

NFT games on our marketplace right now can list NFT items on Cardano. So Cardano can increase a lot of NFT games and assets

We will help Cardano increase a lot of NFT gamers and NFT investors from BSC

[IMPACT] What are the main risks that could prevent you from delivering the project successfully and please explain how you will mitigate each risk?

Many game publishers are currently unaware of the advantages of Cardano over other blockchain EVMs. So they will be a little worried about listing NFT items on Cardano

Solution: We will be conducting meetups with our game publisher partners to share the potential of onboarding their games on Cardano.

[FEASIBILITY] Please provide a detailed plan, including timeline and key milestones for delivering your proposal.

10 traditional games will be converted into NFT games on Cardano after 3 months of launching Dareplay on Cardano

We will connect with 30 NFT games on Cardano to help them list NFT items on our marketplace
