## What Is Exeedme (XED)?

[Exeedme](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/exeedme/) is a blockchain-powered tournament platform that allows gamers of all skill levels to monetize their skills. The platform’s vision is to build a fair and trusted [play-to-earn](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/play-to-earn-play2earn) platform where gamers can play their favorite games, challenge opponents and profit from betting on their own victory. Gamers can earn money from their bets, earn XED for engagement, and exclusive [NFT](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/non-fungible-token) prizes for winning tournaments and events. 

The platform offers a matchmaking mechanism where players can challenge friends or play against players of similar skill levels for stakes. In doing so, they earn XED, which is required to level up and unlock higher leagues with higher stakes. The platform is game-agnostic, meaning it acts as a single point of access to engage with different games such as CS:GO, LOL, as well as decentralized games like Skyweaver. 

The team released the first Beta version this year and acquired a UK Gambling Operating License. Currently available on [Ethereum](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/), [BSC](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/binance-coin/) and [Polygon](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/polygon/), it plans to launch on Polkadot in the future and launch a V1.0 of its XED [decentralized exchange](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-exchange-dex). 


## Who Are the Founders of Exeedme?

The Exeedme team brands itself as a “seasoned team with entrepreneurial experience and make it happen attitude.” The project was launched by CEO Nuno Fernandes and CSO Francisco Varela. Nuno Fernandes is an experienced dealmaker with €1B+ closings and a former manager of the mergers and acquisitions teams of PwC and KPMG. Francisco Varela is a serial entrepreneur with five successful ventures launched and scaled to $10m+ and the first exclusive gaming gear marketplace founder. The team is complemented by advisors Guilherme Almedia (tech development), Rui Teixeira (blockchain gaming), and Nuno Correia (blockchain payments). Ricardo Pacheco, a professional Counter-Strike:GO player, is the project’s ambassador. 


## What Makes Exeedme Unique?

The Exeedme team realized that making money playing video games is very hard except for a selected few professionals. However, becoming a professional requires a lot of time to build up the skill and comes with huge competition and high barriers to entry. Moreover, traditional games are characterized by aggressive in-game purchasing strategies and siloed game assets that don’t allow players to monetize their in-game assets. Exeedme expands beyond the commonly known free-to-play and play-to-win gaming models and allows players of any level to monetize their skills.

Players choose their game and the stake and let the game do the matchmaking. The platform features several gaming modes: solo, party, teams, and pro seasons. Players can also join skill-filtered leagues and earn participation rewards in the native XED token. XED and NFT rewards depend on the amount of XED staked on the platform. The more XED a player has staked, the lower their match fees and the more access they receive to special tournaments, exclusive NFTs, and in-platform badges and skins.

A set of decentralized nodes validates transactions and secures the Ethereum blockchain.


## Can Exeedme Hit $1?

Exeedme hit an all-time high of almost $2 in March, up from an initial launch price of $0.05. That indicates there is strong interest in the platform’s value proposition.

Efinity is a cross-chain NFT platform developed by Enjin and built on Polkadot. Efinity was created as the next generation blockchain for digital assets with the aim of adapting to the challenges of the world of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), according to the project.

The main specialization of the Efinity project is the NFT space. With the protocol, traders and gamers can create, distribute, transfer, sell and buy NFTs. Efinity aims to remove barriers to entry into the NFT space/decentralized gaming, and to simplify user experience and digital asset governance.

Efinity Token powers the entire Efinity ecosystem, EFI aims to prioritize the generation, transfer and purchase of tokens using an inter-chain infrastructure of protocols resulting in lower transaction fees. As for incentives, rewards on PoW blockchains with NFT functionality go to miners who create/trade tokens, thereby forming a community.

One of the long-term goals of Efinity is to become a hub for both fungible and non-fungible tokens, accepting tokens from any other chain, facilitating the pricing and exchange of NFTs, increasing transaction volume, and creating network effects.

In December 2021, the project won the Polkadot parachain auction, and in March 2022, Enjin launched their flagship parachain Efinity on the Polkadot Relay Chain — a blockchain platform that provides a decentralized parachain network where people havecontrol over their data and identity.

Interested game industry innovators submit their project proposal to the Seedify

Seedify acts as a launching pad for blockchain games and the disruptive play-to-earn gaming model. The gaming industry is gradually entering a new era — previously gamers may spend large sums of money on in-game items with no direct monetary benefits. However, they are now able to make money by earning in-game item non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and tokens, which is facilitated by the play-to-earn revolution.

Blockchain technology has not only opened up more opportunities for gamers and game developers, but it has also offered additional forms of benefits like transparency, ownership, incentive models and digital ownership through NFTs.

The team behind the Seedify project are pursuing a global goal: to acquaint gamers with the blockchain and increase the rate of technology adoption, attract a huge number of users, create more jobs and financial benefits.

Illuvium is an open-world fantasy battle game built on the Ethereum blockchain. Often touted as the first AAA game on Ethereum, Illuvium looks to provide a source of entertainment to both casual gamers and hardcore DeFi fans through a range of collecting and trading features.

To learn more about this project, check out our deep dive of Illuvium.

The world of Illuvium is inhabited by creatures known as Illuvials, who can be captured by players that best them in battle and nurse them back to health. From then on, they become a loyal part of the player’s collection and can be used when battling other adventurers as part of Illuvium’s auto battler gameplay.

The game is a fusion between an open-world exploration game and a PVP battle game. Players can spend their time exploring the expanses of the game world or building up their team of powerful beasts.

Illuvium has been in development since 2020, and is being built by a worldwide team of more than 40 individuals, including the co-founders; serial entrepreneur and early cryptocurrency adopter Kieran Warwick, and experienced game designer Aaron Warwick, who are brothers. (And who are coincidentally also the brothers of Kain Warwick, the co-founder of DeFi platform Synthetix).

The ILV token has a number of uses within the Illuvium ecosystem. It’s the main token used to reward players for their in-game achievements, entitles players to their share of the Illuvium Vault and is used for participating in the governance of the game via the Illuvium decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).

While the concept behind Merit Circle is not entirely new, the project itself is a leading DAO with the goal to maximize value accrual across different games in the metaverse. Its platform is at the intersection of capital, expertise and players — representing investors, platform and managers — and of course,  gamers.

The returns that the project has the potential to make will be able to translate into potentially life-changing income for some of the gamers engaging with it. The players have recognized the value of the project and the scholarship program that was created for them, and there are already over 500 scholars currently playing Axie Infinity.

There are already significant revenues that are flowing into the Circle of Merit, which benefits the DAO itself, as well as players and liquidity providers. More are expected to come, especially since Merit Circle DAO will now start focusing on other opportunities in the metaverse through new games.

Furthermore, Merit Circle boasts an impressive list of partners, including DeFiance Capital, Spartan Group, Yield Guild Games and more. These and others are all industry-leading names, who have praised Merit Circle for building a scalable operational process that can effectively grow, onboard, and sustain new members. In fact, DeFiance Capital’s Arthur said that DeFiance believes that “Merit Circle will be among the top guilds that will be kingmakers in this land.”

All of the partners, plus a number of angel investors, supported the company during its seed round, helping it raise $4.5 million
