Shards Executive Summary

Executive Summary

• Shards socializes the gaming experience by introducing a novel incentive system which bridges the gap between players and non-players (i.e. fans, spectators, etc.).

• Through enabling in-game guilds to be fractionalized and traded outside of the game, Shards increases engagement and creates a strong foundation for sustainable revenue growth.

• Revenue sharing via Shards is autonomously enforced via smart contracts with the fee mechanism being configurable by game studios and guild owners.

• Shards is chain-agnostic and provides a plug-and-play solution that seamlessly integrates with any game engine workflow enabling the complexities of on-chain logic and infrastructure hosting to be abstracted.

• By enhancing the shared gaming experience, Shards generates greater synergies between gameplay, monetization, and community building.
