What is the Tokyo Games Token?

(Source: tokyogamestoken)

Tokyo Games Token is issued by play3 Ltd., TGT is a native token built on the Immutable zkEVM chain, aiming to create an on-chain entertainment economy centered around truly fun games. Historically, Web3 games have faced the common issue of insufficient gameplay, relying solely on speculation making it difficult to sustain community and value. The birth of TGT is not only to solve this problem but also to allow multiple high-quality AAA games to share an economic backbone, enabling player engagement, on-chain asset value, and governance mechanisms to be integrated and expanded on a single token.

The operation mode and application scenarios of Tokyo Games Token

GT's main applications in the ecosystem cover the following aspects:

1. Common Currency
   TGT will serve as the unified payment tool for all games on the platform, allowing players to purchase equipment, props, NFT assets, etc., and realize value transfer in multiple games.

2. Staking Rewards
   GT holders can participate in the platform reward mechanism through Staking to obtain game-specific items or special functions that can be used on the chain (such as exclusive characters, skins, or qualifications).

3. Governance and Voting (Governance)
   GT serves as the foundation for community governance. Participants can vote to determine the platform's future development direction, including launching new games and participating in activities such as prediction contests and betting mechanisms.

The first game product: TOKYO BEAST

As the first work of the TGT ecosystem, TOKYO BEAST is a AAA game based on the world of Japanese urban mythical beasts, integrating strategy battles, character development, and on-chain asset trading. TGT will serve as the core asset and token in the game. Players can not only use TGT to enhance their combat power but also realize value returns from trading.

Why choose to build on Immutable zkEVM?

GT adopts Immutable zkEVM as the underlying chain foundation, which is of great significance:

• High-speed and low-cost trading: Thanks to zk-rollup technology, transaction fees are low, processing speed is fast, suitable for interactive gaming applications that require frequent interactions.
• EVM compatibility: Convenient for existing developers to quickly deploy their original game architecture to the TGT ecosystem.
• Immutable ecosystem support: Enjoy support and development tools for the Immutable ecosystem, which helps new games integrate quickly.

The core positioning of GT

TGT is not a token designed for a single game, but is designed to be a cross-game universal token that can be used in multiple games within the Tokyo Games ecosystem. This design has the following three advantages:

• Economic scalability: The more AAA games adopt GT as the basic token, the overall demand and liquidity will grow exponentially.
• Risk Diversification: The rotation of popularity among different games can reduce the impact of a single game bubble on token prices.
• Rich user experience: TGT can serve as a bridge for cross-game assets, allowing players to enjoy a common experience across the entire gaming universe.
