MetaXar is a cost-effective blockchain video game distribution platform. It is a game changer for seamless blockchaining of games and is a cost-less direct alternative to other app stores in the market.
XAR is MetaXar's stable utility token. 1 XAR is priced at approximately 1.125 USDT. This is so that game developers can receive predictable revenue without fluctuations in the value.
Users will be able to exchange their In-Game Tokens (IGTs), Limited Edition Tokens (LETs) and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) to XAR, and in turn exchange XAR for fiat on an external exchange.
At present, you will be able to play games on both the MetaXar website and on your mobile device. You will be able to see what platform the game is available on on Gamers Dashboard.
Leaderboard podium points are used to rank MetaXar gamers. The more podium points you have, the better your chances of earning rewards.
Weighted XPX Points = (User's XPX / Total XPX in Circulation in MetaXar) * XPX Weightage
Weighted XAR Points = (User's XAR / Total XAR in Circulation in MetaXar) * XAR Weightage
Weighted MetX Points = (User's MetX / Total MetX in Circulation in MetaXar) * MetX Weightage
Sum Total of Normalized IGT = (User's IGT in Game 1 / Total IGT in Game 1) + (User IGT in Game 2 / Total IGT in Game 2) + ... (User IGT in Game n / Total IGT in Game n)
Weighted IGT Points = Sum Total of Normalized IGT * IGT Weightage
Sum Total of Normalized LET = (User's LET in Game 1 / Total LET in Game 1) + (User’s LET in Game 2 / Total LET in Game 2) + ... (User’s LET in Game n / Total LET in Game n)
Weighted LET Points = Sum Total of Normalized LET * LET Weightage
Sum Total of Normalized NFT = (User's NFT in Game 1 / Total NFT in Game 1) + (User NFT in Game 2 / Total NFT in Game 2) + ... (User NFT in Game n / Total NFT in Game n)
Weighted NFT Points = Sum Total of Normalized NFT * NFT Weightage
POP - Proof of Play
Weighted POP Points = POP * POP Weightage
Podium Points = Weighted XPX Points + Weighted XAR Points + Weighted MetX Points + Weighted IGT Points + Weighted LET Points + Weighted NFT Points + Weighted POP Points
Weightages:
XPX - 0.125 | MetX - 0.3 | XAR - 0.125 | IGT - 0.2 | LET - 0.1 | NFT - 0.1 | POP - 0.05
Normalized = A scaling technique method in which data points are shifted and rescaled so that they end up in a range of 0 to 1.
Podium points are used to rank gamers. High rank gamers will have access to extra benefits which will be announced in the future.
The game developer who invited you to play his/her game, released his/her game in the testnet environment whereby the tokens in his/her game have no real-world value. This is for the game developer to test out the flow of his/her game and receive feedback for it before he/she releases his/her game in the mainnet environment which has tokens of real-world value.
In-Game Tokens are Assets which are primarily the currencies in the MetaXar games. Game developers can create their IGTs by using the Sirius Wallet.
Limited Edition Tokens are a unique set of tokens which can be represented in any form in a game which cannot be replicated. For example, a wizard in a fantasy Role-Playing Game (RPG) created eight magical necklaces and they will be wholly unique.
Non-Fungible Tokens are unique Assets which, unlike IGTs, cannot be interchanged as there can only be one of them in a MetaXar game. Game developers can create their NFTs using the Sirius Wallet. It is up to the game developer's creativity as to what in-game item can become an NFT.
It is the wallet used by all users on MetaXar to store all their IGTs, LETs, NFTs, XAR, and XPX which one can accrue from one's gameplay skill, from trading or purchasing.
Upon completing the setup of the Sirius Wallet, the user will have a public address for sending and receiving their IGTs, LETs, NFTs, XPX, and XAR. In addition, the user will be given a private key which grants the Sirius Wallet holder ownership of the Assets stored on the public address.
*It is important to note that you copy and store your private key in a safe place.
At present, you must set up communication with the testnet game developer to arrange for him/her to send your friend an invitation link via email to play his/her testnet game.
Please turn on hardware acceleration as it is a requirement for a smooth gaming experience.
MetaXar is a cost-effective blockchained video game distribution platform. It is a game changer for seamless blockchaining of games and is a cost-less direct alternative to other app stores in the market.
XAR is MetaXar's stable utility token. 1 XAR is priced at approximately 1.125 USDT. This is so that game developers can receive predictable revenue without fluctuations in the value.
Users will be able to exchange their In-Game Tokens (IGTs), Limited Edition Tokens (LETs) and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) to XAR and in turn exchange XAR for fiat on an external exchange.
MetaXar is powered by Sirius blockchain technology. Sirius is a developer-friendly and enterprise-ready stack of distributed and decentralized technologies. To learn more information about Sirius, you can visit their two websites:
https://siriuschain.io and https://www.proximax.ltd
XPX is the native token of Sirius. For publishing a game on MetaXar, a game developer needs XPX to blockchain his/her game using the Sirius Wallet and for performing transactions.
At present, the MetaXar team is working on completing the testnet features of MetaXar. This means that when a game developer releases a game in the testnet environment, the Assets: the IGTs, LETs, NFTs, XPX, and XAR have no real value. The game developer will be able to share the link to his/her testnet game's Game Page with his/her contacts who can test his/her game and give feedback which he/she can apply to his/her future mainnet game whereby all Assets will have real value.
Another aim of this upcoming testnet exercise is for the game developer to familiarize him/herself with the seamless blockchain game creation steps involved.
Once these features are completed, we will be inviting game developers with Android games to go through the steps of either blockchaining one of their existing games or creating a new blockchain game which will be released in the testnet environment.
Please send us an email to info@metaXar.io should you be a game developer who would like to release a testnet game.
More specifics will be relayed to the game developer once he/she starts coordinating with the MetaXar team and reads through the Testnet Game Developer Guide in tandem.
We will post an announcement for when we are ready to conduct the testnet exercise with game developers.
The speed of the Sirius blockchain will allow game developers to receive their revenue within minutes as opposed to waiting for weeks. The immutability and trustlessness of the blockchain makes it possible for the user to have financial transaction security.
Pursuant to the above financial points, the game developer can have more cushioning for his/her budget by accruing XAR in addition to fiat money from his/her non-blockchained video game. By having an increased budget, the game developer can have more money at hand for more marketing.
Game developers in MetaXar can form partnerships with one another whereby they can have their IGTs, LETs, and NFTs available in each others' games and in addition conduct coordinated airdrops into each others' games. This MetaXar metaverse can be built through the creative use of Namespaces and Assets which the MetaXar team will elaborate more on with the game developer during our testnet game release exercise.
It is the wallet used by all users on MetaXar to store all their IGTs, LETs, NFTs, XPX, and XAR which one can accrue from one's gameplay skill, from trading or purchasing. All Sirius Assets can be stored in this wallet.
Upon completing the setup of the Sirius Wallet, the user will have a public address for sending and receiving your IGTs, LETs, NFTs, XPX, and XAR. In addition, the user will be given a private key which grants the Sirius Wallet holder ownership of the Assets stored on the public address.
*It is important to note that you copy and store your private key in a safe place.
When a game developer creates a Sirius Wallet account it becomes his/her game developer company account on MetaXar.
For our upcoming testnet exercise, the Sirius Wallet is where the game developer uses testnet XPX to register his/her game's Namespace, create the game's Assets and link one Asset to the Namespace.
When a game developer creates a game in his/her Sirius Wallet, he/she registers a Namespace on the Sirius blockchain. The title that the game developer gives to his/her Namespace can either be the name of his/her game developer company or the title of the game he/she would like to distribute on MetaXar.
In our Testnet Manual which will be made available to game developers, the topic of how to approach registering a Namespace will have some more specifics.
When game developers create their IGTs, LETs, or NFTs in their Sirius Wallet, they are in the form of an Asset on the Sirius blockchain. XAR and XPX tokens are also Assets.
In-Game Tokens are Assets which are the currencies in the MetaXar games. Game developers can create their In-Game Tokens by using the Sirius Wallet.
Limited Edition Tokens are a unique set of tokens which, can be represented in any form in a game which cannot be replicated. For example, a wizard in a fantasy Role-Playing Game (RPG) created eight magical necklaces and they will be wholly unique.
Non-Fungible Tokens are unique assets which, unlike In-Game Tokens, cannot be interchanged as there can only be one of them in a MetaXar game. Game developers can create their NFTs using the Sirius Wallet. It is up to the game developer's creativity as to what in-game item can become an NFT.
