App stores have long been dominating the mobile game industry, creating an ecosystem in which only a handful of top ranking developers, often with large marketing budgets, can survive, stifling many smaller developers out of the market with the large fees incurred from each sale of their game to the app store, making their future survival unsustainable.

The two biggest winners in all of this is of course the Apple app store and the Google Play store themselves. Refusing to allow the introduction of any new tech formats for payments systems as their current duopoly model is geared to serve them best. And it does.

Is it possible to cut out the middlemen, and create a gaming ecosystem not solely based on app stores?

YES!

That is the vision of Pocket Arena. We are building a decentralised ecosystem with a sustainable business model, bridging the gap between game developers (specifically HTML5 games) and end-users.

Blockchain games can benefit end-users with real-item ownership, however the fee for the game item exchange can be very expensive with ERC 20.  Considering the fact that usually any virtual game item is priced at 5 USD to 10 USD, paying a gas fee per transaction of about 3 USD – 5 USD is insane! Almost 50% of the virtual item price is charged for the gas fee in ETH.

Majority of the blockchain games on ERC20 require the user to install Metamask, a plugin which not a lot of people are too familiar with, causing many potential users to easily give up trying to use the application. The most successful blockchain game CryptoKitties, which uses the Ethereum network, has a DAU amount of below 400 according to recent reports.

YES. Thanks to POC being built on the Stellar Network, end-users pay a fraction of the cost in fees comparatively, while POC is still able to provide a secure and non-fungible item ownership to the end-user. What’s more is end-users can also play Pocket Arena games via PC or while on the go with just a mobile, without the need for any downloads or installation, seamlessly with a simple login.

Traditionally, when it comes to eSports, people expect different national teams of players in a big stadium and an applauding audience. However, in a decentralised eSports setting, the scene would be quite different as every championship will take place online. We pursue the idea that casual eSports games are for everyone to have fun with and to create real value through this blockchain gaming platform.  

Our Pocket Arena is a decentralised platform created especially to play one-on-one matches and to gain rewards. We have developed a variety of high quality casual games to run on Pocket Arena along with the formation of some great partnerships with leading casual game developers. Our mission: let everyone enjoy casual eSports gaming, wherever they go.

Easily accessible and fun to play : End-users can easily create a PA Wallet by simply providing an email and password through their web browser. No download and no installation is required. PA games simply play through any browser, on mobile or on PC.

Multiplayer mode with eSports : There are a variety of high quality games ranging across many different genres which have both single and multiplayer modes. If players are looking for a real challenge to test their skills, then they may enter the PA championships, with big prizes to be won for the contestants.

Real world rewards and secure game item exchange : The more users play, the more POC they shall earn. They can spend their POC on purchasing virtual game items or participating in PA special events, such as the PA championships.

POC owners shall also be able to exchange their POC into other cryptocurrencies at a later date, once POC gets listed on cryptocurrency exchanges. When this happens, POC will have real world value to the end-users.
