In this article, I will discuss why Gas Hero will be the next application to define on-chain gaming, and why this matters to you (and $GMT) even if you don’t play games.

Since we made STEPN a blockchain gaming-defining application two years ago, millions of people have learned about non-custodial wallets and made their first on-chain swap transactions.

Its been a while since weve seen another app that defined an entire category, but it wont be long before you see the next one. Specifically, within 24 hours.

Gas Hero is:

a) An accelerated, game theory-oriented human society simulation game;

b) A playground with a clear set of rules + a high degree of freedom, where people cooperate and compete;

c) A social and strategy-oriented financial game(I insist not to call it “Social-Fi” because anyone who knows me knows how much I hate that term).

Disclaimer: This post does not constitute any financial advice, so I will not provide any advice or detailed calculations on how Gas Hero might relate to a rise in $GMT. You can find all the information about $GMT inflow and outflow in the Gas Hero white paper (https://whitepaper.gashero.com). Im just here to share with you my guess as to why someone (yes, you dont have to be a gamer to be addicted because Im not a gamer either) would use and stay in Gas Hero. Im sure some Aper will do the math for themselves and maybe for everyone, haha. Please do your own research (DYOR).

1. Why does everyone care about Gas Hero? What external benefits do people gain when they pay for an experience?

Anyone paying for entertainment is looking for some form of comfort or positive feedback. In Gas Hero, you can always find comfort in some form of human desire: power, glory, or wealth.

Let’s break down the experience people had:

a) Power: Whether you want to rule a region as a governor or serve as an altruist, the game world is yours to control or contribute to;

b) Glory: A strategist aims to outwit his opponent, a general seeks to defeat his enemy;

c) Wealth: Farmers harvest the yield and businessmen profit from arbitrage opportunities.

Its important that the rules are set simple so that everyone can find their specific point of fun (as you know from my list, a wish can be granted in many ways). Anything within the rules is allowed; therefore the means to realize these wishes are also diverse.

2. Who is paying?

To become a leader in Gas Hero or win a certain level in PvP, one needs to first spend something and equip the required gear to be competitive enough.

First, there are incentives for these individuals to pre-pay before becoming competitive high-end players, and they hope to receive a larger share of the rewards - leaders profit from NFT market fees, and PvP winners profit from auction house revenue. profit. This fee is paid by players who try and fail to become leaders, and by PvP players who lose in competition.

Additionally, those who choose the Wealth Experience route are effectively liquidity providers, as they are constantly bridging price arbitrage between items in PvE resources/auction houses and items listed on the secondary market.

3. Why do people keep coming back to this game?

There are two key design concepts in Gas Hero:Hope and Bonding。

Hope comes from any event with probability: reproduction, upgrading, opening capsules, etc. Knowing that the chance of an event is low has never deprived people of the joy of actually getting a low-probability outcome. People tend to believe/hope that they are lucky and feel particularly happy when their hopes come true.

Bonding is conferred through activities that require cooperation or competition. When people know that working together on team tasks makes everyone better, not only will they cooperate, they will even attract people to their team who have not yet cooperated. When a person is defeated by someone close to him/her in strength, he/she will most likely want to try again and outdo the opponent on the next try.

With the right balance of hope and regret, and sufficient connection between players, the experience curve will be choppy, but trending upward. Even if they dont get the results they hoped for (i.e. becoming a jurisdiction leader or winning PvP), theyll try again the next election cycle because theyve received some small positive feedback along the way, and theres always new hope and old connections Encourage them to stay.

4. Why are more people interested in joining this game?

Obviously, as a social/strategy oriented finance game, money is very important, but thats yet to be revealed by real players, so I wont get too involved in the price discussion.

This game world will naturally attract more people to join because the mechanics are designed to benefit those who can cooperate well beforehand. When a person is attracted by the experience a game provides, he is motivated to bring more players to himself and educate them about the game because they can have a better experience together by working together.

5. What did we learn from STEPN that makes Gas Hero a good game theory simulation world?

a) Finite life of an asset ->Non-perpetual productive assets + better asset turnover/NFT liquidity

b) Diversified production benefits(from fungible tokens to NFTs of various resources) and converting proceeds into derivative productive assets -> increases the potential depth of game strategy

c) seasonal settings ->Allowing the economy to fully revive after entering the long tail cycle, providing room for new players to join

d) Implement a system that allows market forces to regulate themselves ->The checks and balances of the market’s “invisible hand” are the cornerstone of a strong, flexible and sustainable economy

6. What happens next? Why is this important to you?

You may still be skeptical about experiencing another life and finding fulfillment in power, glory, or wealth through Gas Hero.

But at the very least, you might want to keep an eye on the amount of $GMT since the game is locked on-chain.Just to let you know (Im not even going to get into that),25% of Auction House revenue (money from initial in-game sales) is burned, as is half of in-game confluence (upgrades, breeding, BCV construction, etc.).Do some math and you’ll see that the collective efforts of the entire Find Satoshi Lab community will take $GMT on a much, much longer journey.
