a game on blockchain for the Paris Olympics

admin — Tue, 23 Jul 2024 09:32:27 +0000

Yesterday, the launch of a game for the Paris Olympics was announced, which will be based on the Tezos Blockchain.

This is Athletics Rush by TapNation, a digital athletics game.

Tezos: the blockchain game on the occasion of the Paris Olympics

Athletics Rush was released yesterday, a few days before the opening of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

It promises an engaging mobile gaming experience with global competitions, various game modes, and blockchain rewards for players all over the world.

The integration with the blockchain di Tezos however will take place only at the end of August, after the Olimpiadi have concluded.

Athletics Rush offers players the chance to jump, run, and launch themselves on mobile through various challenges, traveling across different countries and competing in the global rankings.

The main features of the game include different game modes to master athletic skills, opportunities to improve skills and collect medals, and the possibility to explore different athletic villages and their unique cultures.

In addition to competing globally and climbing the rankings, it also allows players to win prizes, such as trips and sports equipment.

The game has been developed to integrate Web3 elements in the future, while at the same time ensuring a smooth and enjoyable user experience. In fact, it is designed for a wide audience, including those players who love satisfying gameplay and sports enthusiasts, so it is not created solely for the common Web3 users.

TapNation

Athletics Rush was created by TapNation.

TapNation is one of the leading publishers of mobile games, with a portfolio of over 50 games and over 1 billion downloads.

It is a publisher that helps developers take their games to the next level, equipped with an international and creative team that also leverages the power of new technologies to offer fun and successful gaming experiences to players around the world.

Tezos blockchain develops a Web3 game for the Paris Olympics

Tezos is an open-source project with a scalable and energy-efficient public blockchain that allows developers and businesses to deploy low-cost applications.

This is one of the original blockchains based on Proof-of-Stake, so much so that the project began back in 2014.

Over the years, it has created several partnerships and strategic collaborations, for example, in the online gaming sector and Web3.

Even in 2022, it launched a vertical on games, thus recording a significant increase in activity. For example, in the first quarter of 2024 alone, the number of monthly active users increased by 500%.

The crypto XTZ

Tezos also has its own native cryptocurrency, called XTZ.

Despite the growth of the ecosystem, the price of XTZ is still in significant bear.

Compared to the all-time high of 2021, 9.1$, the current 0.75$ is almost 92% less.

In fact, the current market value is even less than half of what it was at the time of its launch on the crypto markets in 2018, when it was around 2$.

At the end of 2020, before the last great bullrun began, it had returned to about $2, after having dropped below $0.5, so during the bear-market of 2022/2023 it lost everything it had gained during the great bullrun of 2021.

The absolute historical minimum, reached in 2018, was $0.35, or just under half of the current value, and the bottom of the latest bear-market was $0.62 reached in October 2023.

During the course of 2024, it had tried to return to $1.5, but starting from April, it began a new correction phase that brought it down even below $0.7 at the beginning of July.

The Web3 games

The digital online game is a huge market.

Within this market, a niche is constituted by the so-called Web3 games, that is, those that use blockchain-based technologies and cryptocurrencies.

According to a recent market research, the Web3 gaming sector is expected to grow significantly over the next ten years, reaching a value of over 130 billion dollars by 2033. The growth will be driven by decentralization and security.

The use of blockchain-based tools is capable of offering players tangible advantages, such as, for example, a deeper interaction with game assets. Additionally, it allows developers to reward players in cryptocurrencies.

The comment

The Web3 manager of TapNation, Philippe Lenormand, stated:

“With Athletics Rush, our goal was to create a fun and satisfying experience that perfectly incorporates Web3 elements. Based on Tezos, we can enhance player retention and provide rewarding experiences without disrupting the core gameplay.”

The Global Head del gioco presso TZ APAC, Jeremy Foo, ha aggiunto:

“Tezos offers a secure and sustainable blockchain platform that perfectly aligns with the vision of Athletics Rush. We are pleased to introduce blockchain technology to enhance the user experience without compromising the fun and engaging nature of the game.”

These NFTs launched by nWay represent the digital pins of the Paris 2024 mascot, and were launched specifically to celebrate these Olympic Games.

The idea is to capture the playful spirit and energy of the Olympics with digital collectible items.

The NFT are available in two different designs with two different rarity levels: Epic and Legendary.

The first design (A) is that of the Paris 2024 mascot waving, available in both Epic and Legendary rarity levels.

The second (B) is the one of the Paris 2024 mascot with a flag, always available with Epic or Legendary rarity level.

The claim of the NFTs of the Paris Olympics on Base

There are different ways to request the NFTs of the digital pins of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games mascot.

The requests started yesterday, July 9, through Coinbase’s Onchain Summer campaign. The request period ends on August 12, and users will need to go to the Magic Eden platform to request and redeem the digital badge NFTs.

The supporters of OGJ and VTG can obtain all four pins, while through the mint on Magic Eden they can obtain the Legendary B or the Epic A.

The existing community of nWayPlay (NWP) and the supporters of Olympic Games Jam (OGJ) will receive the Legendary pin with the mascot waving exclusively.

Users will also be able to request and redeem Epic B through My Olympic Rewards using the points earned to redeem a digital pin.

For the OGJ/NWP community, it will be possible to enter the whitelist before July 23 by following the instructions contained in an email that will be sent.

The same Coinbase, that is the company which owns and manages the largest American crypto exchange, is involved in the initiative, given that the claim of these NFT is also possible thanks to their official Onchain Summer campaign.

Onchain Summer is a campaign that actually started last year, as an invitation to creators to launch their projects on Base.

In fact, Onchain technology allows anyone to be paid directly by their supporters with almost no fees, to have full ownership of their original digital works, and to build direct relationships with their community.

The creator of Base, Jesse Pollak, stated:

“We are more than excited about the launch of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games mascot NFT digital pins as part of Onchain Summer. This drop captures the innovative spirit of Onchain Summer, offering not only a piece of Olympic history but also showcasing the potential of Onchain technology to bring brands closer to their fans. By bringing these NFTs to the community, we aim to create a memorable and unforgettable experience for people all over the world”.

The 2024 Olympics

As part of the initiatives of the Olympic Agenda 2020+5, the CIO (Comité International Olympique) which officially organizes the Olympics has developed a global licensing program aimed at strengthening and promoting the Olympic brand.

The American company has a proven track record in providing AAA games on mobile devices and consoles, such as Wreck League, Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid, Power Rangers: Legacy Wars, Olympic Games Jam: Beijing 2022, and ChronoBlade.
