With Binance successively launching TON ecological tokens such as Notcoin, Dogs, Hamster, and Catizen, the TON ecosystem has ushered in a wave of mini-game trends, gradually becoming one of the hottest narrative directions recently. However, on the flip side, many believe that TON ecological games are merely old wine in new bottles compared to the original P2E games. Aside from being built on TON and having some potential airdrop expectations, they do not bring new innovative significance from an industry perspective and lack the ability to drive a qualitative change in the GameFi market.
In fact, for the Web3 gaming market to innovate, it still needs to focus on the underlying infrastructure. This requires further lowering the development threshold for developers and providing support for games, especially for medium to large-scale games. Clearly, the NOT Network does not possess such capabilities at its core and is not entirely focused on the gaming sector.
On the positive side, with the MetaArena underlying engine entering the market, it is driving a new round of transformation in the Web3 gaming infrastructure, which will be key to advancing the Web3 gaming sector to the next stage. Currently, based on the MetaArena engine, the first AAA game masterpiece, "Final Glory," has also entered the market and is receiving significant attention. The game has been live for less than two months, and the number of active users has already exceeded 100,000, making it the biggest dark horse in the current Web3 gaming market and the most successful AAA game in the Web3 gaming field.
On another note, "Final Glory" has recently released an important game asset, the "Honor Medal - Divine Dragon." Holding this asset not only allows players to enjoy a series of rights within the game ecosystem but also enables them to continuously capture revenue from the MetaArena engine, attracting significant market attention.
Counting the innovations of MetaArena
MetaArena is a new generation Web3 game engine that significantly reduces the cost and threshold for developing and migrating games by building underlying stack infrastructure. The server abstraction scheme provides strong support for games of various scales, benefiting everything from mini-games to AAA games.
MetaArena offers a Services SDK toolkit, which includes basic hashing, elliptic curve encryption, masking, shuffling, and other small tools, and supports application-specific Plonk as the basis for zk proofs, allowing developers to write specific game circuits and compile them into wasm, which can run in browsers or applications. At the same time, MetaArena provides verification contracts on different virtual machines (EVM/WASM, etc.), achieving off-chain proof and on-chain verification. It supports common Solidity verifiers on all EVM chains and Move-lang verifiers based on the Move language, and will further support third-party domain-specific languages (DSL) and zero-knowledge virtual machines (ZKVM).
Developers can modularly deploy game logic using these toolkits without needing to deeply understand the complexities of zero-knowledge circuits, while also customizing to meet specific needs and gradually building more complex logic. During the game deployment phase, game logic is deployed on-chain (in ZKP circuits based on the Realm-built Layer3 chain), player behavior logs are generated off-chain in a computing network to create zero-knowledge proofs, and are verified on-chain, greatly enhancing game fluidity and PvE gaming experience.
The Realm engine has deployed a large number of pre-compiled contracts, establishing a sharded P2P on-chain communication node network, using the Kademlia algorithm to ensure efficient communication and precise positioning of nodes. The contract execution process is also sharded according to the Kademlia algorithm, evenly distributing computational load to improve system speed and efficiency.
With the MetaArena engine, it can provide strong support for the operation of Web3 games and drive further development of the Web3 gaming market.
The pioneering nature of "Final Glory"
"Final Glory" is the first MMORPG AAA game built on the MetaArena engine, and as one of the few AAA masterpieces in the industry, it has garnered significant market attention since its launch.
High-quality graphics
As an AAA game, the high-quality graphics are one of its highlights, created through industry-leading HDR lighting pipelines, self-developed PBR shaders, and the use of HyperShader, among other solutions, to deliver a top-tier immersive gaming experience. Additionally, the game has been developed with substantial investment and time, matching the quality of mainstream Web2 AAA games.
Rich gameplay
The game features a variety of gameplay modes, including PvP, PvE, exploration, and more, with each mode further containing layered game content, such as open-world exploration/monster hunting/gathering, interdimensional gameplay, solo and team-based challenges, and high-difficulty raid dungeons like Blood Feast Torture.
Players can also upgrade and combine different items to create various game effects. "Final Glory" offers a high degree of freedom, allowing players to trade freely within the game, providing numerous business opportunities and laying the foundation for building their own worlds.
Broad commercial prospects
"Final Glory" currently has over 100,000 players, who can generate substantial in-game spending and continuously contribute attention value to the game, potentially forming deep linkages with external markets. Overall, "Final Glory" possesses considerable profitability. Based on its fundamentals, the game is likely to have a very high valuation, and early participants can continue to benefit from it.
The "Honor Medal - Divine Dragon" asset is the best way for players to engage with the game.
Currently, "Final Glory" has launched the "Honor Medal - Divine Dragon" asset, which is an important item within the game. Players holding this asset can gain a series of bonuses, including a significant combat value boost, further enhancing their strength and competitive advantage in the game, and potentially becoming top players by controlling a large amount of game resources to earn long-term and substantial profit distributions.
At the same time, players can also receive a series of rights and incentives, including a reward of 900 $TIMI tokens and revenue sharing from the game ecosystem. Considering the commercial value and potential valuation of "Final Glory," players can earn substantial profits just through the "Honor Medal - Divine Dragon" asset.
In addition to in-game rights, the "Honor Medal - Divine Dragon" also represents rights within the MetaArena engine, including directly becoming a computing node to receive MetaArena engine's computing power allocation, as a golden shovel to receive token airdrops from MetaArena engine ecosystem games, qualifications to become resource operators in the network, and multiple enhancements to staking users' participation in node staking and network staking income, among others.
Thus, from the perspective of rights alone, the "Honor Medal - Divine Dragon" asset has extremely high potential income value.
On another note, the "Honor Medal - Divine Dragon" also possesses scarcity, as this asset is issued in limited quantities. This means that as the ecosystem progresses and rights continue to enrich, the "Honor Medal - Divine Dragon" will be continuously empowered, further enhancing its market value. Currently, this asset is priced at only 900 USDT, presenting users with the lowest cost opportunity to capture it, with the potential for multiple profits in the secondary market in the future.
Overall, with "Final Glory" entering the market, it represents the comprehensive launch of the MetaArena ecosystem. This not only signifies a new wave for Web3 gaming but also indicates the market has opened a new round of market dividends. Participating in the game and holding the "Honor Medal - Divine Dragon" asset may be the best opportunity to capture these dividends.
