In short
- A Gaming-Centric Stablecoin will be launched from Playtron later this year.
- The token is designed for use with the coming SUIPLAY0X1 Handheld device.
Gaming Startup Playtron announced on stage at Sui Basecamp In Dubai it is planning to roll out a stablecoin on sui that is specifically designed to be used for gaming.
The game dollar is set in Q4 and is used for purchases, subscriptions and rewards in the Playtron Gameos ecosystem, including on the upcoming SuiPlay0x1 handheld console. Playtron claims that the Stablecoin is supported by short -term American treasury defined Through M0The platform behind the token.
A stablecoin is a crypto -token that is linked to a stable active, usually Fiat -currencies such as the US dollar. They are often used by traders to gain profit in a token that will not fluctuate in price, or for a less volatile way to pay for things.
As a result, according to CoenteckoIt has become a sector worth $ 241 billion with Tether’s USDT and Circle’s USDC, both in the top 10 cryptocurrencies placed by market capitalization. So why not only use an established Stablecoin that is already there?
“We believe that Stablecoins should be programmable at the Use Case level,” Playtron co-founder and CEO Kirt McMaster told DecryptExplaining this cannot be done with the big tokens that are there. “Game dollar will unlock new economic models for developers and market places, while consumer stimuli can only be made possible through programmable dollars.”
As such, the Gamedollar is tailor-made to serve the Playtron ecosystem in an attempt to “deepen [its] Relationship ‘with its users by stimulating and earning certain behaviors.
“Since the reserve compound of the Stablecoin yields yield,” McMaster explained, “the gaming platform can use that capital to stimulate certain behaviors, give customers rewards, acquire new types of customers, etc.”
Playtron compared the game dollar with a Starbucks digital wallet that offers user points for buying coffee, where those points are available to exchange for rewards. He added that the Gamedollar can be programmed to allow only certain transactions.
“This differs from more generally understood goals from a stablecoin, which does not have the possibility to stimulate niche use outings on a scale,” said McMaster.
The Stablecoin is used in Gameos from Playtron, a Linux-based operating system optimized to play classic games on Steam or Crypto games via the Playtron Store.
The SUIPLAY0X1 Handheld device-which will be launched soon to be launched this summer will use this operating system. The Gamedollar will be used for purchases in the Playtron store, called Playtron Select, and there are plans to announce incentives at a later time.
“Gamedollar will be native in Playtron and will be used on our own market in the future,” McMaster told Decrypt“But since Playtron integrates other gaming market places, the marketplaces are supposed to use the Gamedollar both within Gameos and in their own external stores as a payment option.”
