At itsmcore, EcoLand is designed to seamlessly combine the conventional gaming world with the innovative blockchain technology, providing players a rich, freemium gaming experience coupled with the potential to own and trade Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) and cryptocurrency.\n\nUpon joining, players are transported into EcoHub, the central nerve of the universe that links different games and serves as a marketplace, vendor location, skill tree hub, and more. EcoHub is designed to be accessible to everyone, allowing players to enjoy the game without any requirement to interact with blockchain features. Players can engage with traditional gaming activities, making the platform appealing to the casual gaming audience.\n\nThe first game in this universe is EcoFarm, inspired by beloved games like HayDay, Farm Together, and FarmVille 2. EcoFarm brings the joy of farming games to players with the added excitement of blockchain integration for those who opt for it. Freemium players can relish the experience of a third-person farming game, with captivating mechanics, social features, and everything that makes farming games addictive.\n\nBy purchasing the EcoLander Pass, players unlock access to all blockchain-related features. This includes special areas in the EcoHub where players can interact with the blockchain marketplace and quests that award $ECO. Within EcoFarm, they gain access to unique areas such as the mine or special quests that yield NFTs or $ECO.\n\nEcoLand's unique selling point is the cross-game usability of NFTs and cryptocurrency ($ECO). This creates an inter-connected universe where assets acquired or earned in one game have value in the next. As more games are added to the EcoLand universe, this shared economy grows in value, driving player engagement and investment.\n\nMoreover, EcoLand pioneers the concept of gaming with real-world impact. A portion of the sales from EcoLand is channeled directly to NGOs that we are in partnership with, for the purpose of planting trees. This way, the players are not just building virtual farms and economies, but also contributing to the betterment of the real world, one tree at a time. As players immerse themselves in the enchanting universe of EcoLand, they are also promoting environmental sustainability and becoming a part of the solution to global ecological challenges. It's more than just a game; it's gaming with a conscience.\n\nThe result is a sustainable game economy, well balanced to cater to both casual players and those seeking deeper engagement through blockchain technology.", "lastUpdated": 0, "projectGithub": "ecoland-world", "projectTwitter": "ecolandworld"}, "recipient": "0x4b7866e717f27Fa1C38313D25F647aE0598571BD"}}
