In the field of GameFi, the spiral dilemma of traffic and value has become a major pain point in the development of the industry. According to DappRadar data, the user retention rate of blockchain games is less than 15%, while the user retention rate of traditional mobile games is over 40%. Behind this significant gap is the concentrated manifestation of problems such as excessive financialization of blockchain games, homogeneous gameplay, and fragmented technical experience.

In this industry context, Puffverse is building the next-generation Web3 gaming ecosystem with its unique breakthrough logic and becoming the industry leader.

The source of breakthrough: top resource empowerment and ecological alliance construction

Puffverse has an outstanding resource advantage. Its core team was incubated by the former Xiaomi gaming department, integrating Xiaomi's hardware development experience with Alibaba's Internet technology genes. The combined experience of hardware giants and Internet giants provides a solid foundation for Puffverse in product design and technology development.

In 2024, Puffverse received a strategic round of investment led by Animoca Brands and followed by Sky Maverse (parent company of Axie Infinity). This not only brought abundant financial support to the project, but also formed a leading blockchain game ecological alliance, building a strong resource guarantee and strategic support for Puffverse's development in the GameFi track.  

Thanks to the empowerment of top resources, Puffverse has been at the forefront of the industry from the very beginning. The incubation background of the original Xiaomi software department has brought Puffverse deep technical accumulation and product development capabilities. In addition, team members have rich experience in Unity engine development, user growth strategy and DeFi project operation.

This cross-domain professional capability also enables Puffverse to take into account both the industrialization capabilities of Web2 products and the design capabilities of Web3 economic models. The strategic investment from Animoca Brands and Sky Maverse further consolidates Puffverse's leading position in the GameFi field.  

The core of innovation: the liver-free experience of the 3D metaverse

Puffverse's product design focuses on the de-liverization of the 3D metaverse, and is committed to providing users with a relaxed and fun gaming experience. As one of its core products, PuffGo is an on-chain multiplayer royal party game that inherits the party game mode of Fall Guys and creates an economic model of Skill to Earn, Play to Own. This model can lower the user threshold, avoid the drawbacks of traditional blockchain games that focus on financial attributes, and enable users to earn income while enjoying the game.

PuffGo includes multiple levels and game modes, providing players with a variety of battle options from single-player to multiplayer, and the League level allows users to earn high profits. In addition, the UGC function of PuffGo Workshop allows users to create and publish new game maps, further enriching the game content and enhancing user stickiness.

Players can also create their own map levels through the UGC function to enhance the sociality and interactivity of the game and stimulate strategic games among players. PuffGo Workshop is PuffGo's built-in UGC creation platform that supports users to independently design and publish new game maps. After the map is released, all players can participate in the challenge of custom levels and get a unique gaming experience.

In the future, PuffGo will also launch more UGC modules and innovative content combined with AIGC technology to further enrich the creative ecology. It is worth mentioning that PuffGo is not limited to the Web3 market, but also actively expands the Web2 user group. In the game, Web2 and Web3 players can participate freely and play together. Web2 players can consume games through the traditional in-app purchase model, filling the market gap of mobile party games; while Web3 players can join the League, use NFT and Token, and earn while playing in the Skill to Earn mode, enjoying the fun of the game and asset returns.

As a one-stop asset management platform in Puffverse, PuffTown shares an account system with PuffGo. Users can view their assets (tokens and NFT details) in PuffTown, as well as match details in PuffGo games and real-time rankings of the League season. The integrated design provides users with a convenient asset management experience and further enhances users' dependence on the Puffvers ecosystem.

In addition, PuffSim is a placement game where players can upgrade their strength for adventure and easily earn profits. This simple and easy-to-use game mode complements PuffGo's Skill to Earn mode and meets the game preferences of different users.

PuffWorld is a fantasy metaverse world and the player lobby of PuffGo, which allows users to enjoy an immersive 3D experience. Puffverse plans to make PuffWorld a core place for user social interaction through continuous optimization, so as to further enhance the interaction and stickiness between users.  

Puffverse's product design not only innovates in gameplay, but also deeply optimizes the technical level. By applying customized algorithms to the metaverse to render 3D models, Puffverse has made elements and objects customizable and editable, and built an infrastructure with scalability and flexibility to adapt to the continuous expansion of the ecosystem.

This technological advantage enables Puffverse to cover a variety of application scenarios from software to hardware, bringing users a more immersive gaming experience.

The Art of Balancing: Precise Design of Economic Models

The economic model design of Puffverse fully considers the balance of interests between VC and the community. In terms of the unlocking mechanism, the unlocking ratio of the strategic round is 5%, and the unlocking ratio of the private round is 10%. This design aims to stabilize the token price and avoid excessive impact of early selling pressure on the market. In addition, the project token application scenarios are rich and diverse, including NFT asset casting fuel, social behavior mining, and governance rights pledge.

On the other hand, the lock-up period of team and consultant tokens is as long as 12-24 months, which is out of sync with the unlocking period of the private placement round, further reducing the early selling pressure. Earning while playing accounts for 18% and is released linearly over 36 months. This design can effectively prevent token inflation from getting out of control and ensure the long-term value of tokens and the sustainability of the ecosystem.

After TGE, $PFVS can be used to purchase PuffGo League season passes, participate in season competitions, and realize a healthy token production and consumption mechanism in the game. Through vePUFF staking, users can also obtain additional $PFVS to further participate in the League season, increasing interactive stickiness and participation.

In the future, Puffverse plans to build a cloud gaming platform to significantly enhance the immersive experience of its open metaverse, attract more developers to join the ecosystem, and expand the practical application scenarios of $PFVS. In addition, Puffverse will also work in-depth with more developers and projects to continuously optimize Web3 game content and create a more attractive decentralized entertainment experience.

The economic model design of Puffverse not only considers short-term market stability, but also focuses on long-term ecological development. Through a reasonable unlocking mechanism and diversified application scenarios, Puffverse has given the tokens actual use value, while also providing users with more opportunities to participate and ways to earn money. The design of this type of economic model is conducive to balancing the interests of VCs and the community, and provides a solid foundation for the long-term development of Puffverse.

Light of Ecology: Deep Integration of IP and Reality

As a new species sample in the GameFi 3.0 era, Puffverse has a huge ecological imagination space. Puffverse is building a virtual and real IP ecological system, and realizes the ecological expansion of IP through the linkage between IP commercialization and specific offline product hardware.

Puffverse uses the main story of the five characters and other content to create an IP ecosystem that belongs exclusively to Puffverse, and uses Puffverse-related IP peripherals in offline activities in various countries to expand Web3 users' awareness of Puffverse IP. In the future, Puffverse plans to cross-border linkage with other Web2-related products to further expand the influence of its IP in Web2 and Web3.

Puffverse's IP ecosystem construction is not only deeply rooted in the online field, but also actively expanding the offline market. By linking with real-world product hardware, Puffverse provides users with a richer experience. The virtual-real IP ecosystem will enhance users' sense of participation and identity, and provide more possibilities for Puffverse's commercial realization.

From the perspective of track inspiration, Puffverse provides a reference for the paradigm shift for traditional Internet giants to enter the blockchain game. Its successful experience shows that traditional Internet giants can play an important role in the blockchain game field and promote the development of the GameFi industry with their rich technology, operational experience and strong resource integration capabilities.

Puffverse's practice has provided valuable experience and reference for other major Internet companies to enter the blockchain game field, and has also injected new vitality and impetus into the development of the entire GameFi industry.

Puffverse, opening a new era of Web3 games

With its top resource empowerment, innovative product design, precise economic model and in-depth IP ecosystem construction, Puffverse is breaking the dilemma of GameFi and leading Web3 games into a new era.

The next-generation Web3 gaming ecosystem built by Puffverse not only provides users with a brand new gaming experience, but also provides new ideas and directions for the development of the entire industry. With the continuous development of Puffverse, we have reason to believe that it will become a shining pearl in the Web3 gaming field, bringing more exciting gaming experience to users around the world.
