Gamefi Infrastructure Restore2Earn

[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

Because of a disease I truly learned how to appreciate nature and I learned during this period, that we can get everything we need to have a healthy and fullfilling life, but only if we can preserve it! One of the best ways to do that, we believe is with the help of crypto-technology and the gaming world!

We are bringing a gamefi offseting infractructure to the market (Restore2Earn) that mirrors the positive effect on the environment in the game into the real world, for example by restoring forests on a global scale.

🎮 Play >> 💰 Earn >> 🌱 Impact

Runner games have proven entertainment value in mobile, tablet, and desktop gaming. For example, a runner game is the most downloaded game. We want to combine fun gaming with play to earn mechanics and solve a real-world problem by imposing a positive impact. Oxyapes game mechanics deployed level/campaign mode to build a competitive game ecosystem and use taxation for environmental impact investing. OxyApes pioneers sustainability and carbon negativity across blockchain, crypto, and NFT ecosystems.

For decades people played games to kill time and get entertained mainly. An only handful managed to gain prosperity through influencer marketing, streaming, and e-sports championships. At the core, games can be viewed as time killers; moreover, play to advance opportunities make games an addiction tool to gain an advantage over players.

While a handful of Play 2 Earn games do exist, all they focus on is revenue generation rather than delivering fun and entertaining engagement to end-user. Nevertheless, due to the NFT ecosystem, it's too expensive to start play.

• Ultimate Crypto Gamer; Already plays or played a P2E game. Follows releases of new crypto games and is ready to invest, understands the concept, and enjoys playing.
• Gaming Influencer; Loves playing new games is a crypto watcher. Well informed about the latest release, it does not only play but also streams and influences communities.
• All-Round Enthusiast; Enjoy playing all kinds of games and informed about the P2E concept, interested in crypto and NFT, owns a wallet yet waiting for the next big thing to invest.
• Time Filler; Games only when having time to relax prefers mobile games as a social distracter. Is interested in crypto but never invested, open to learning and exploring.

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

To have a solution that can engage the masses, we need something that can inspire as many as possible to get involved in a fun, easy, collaborative, and rewarding way. In ESSENCE – A gamefi carbon offset & eco-empowering social infrastructure, which reflects the game's positive impact on the environment into the real-world, thanks to our environmental partners, by restoring vital ecosystems around the world.
