## 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.

It is secured by a [proof-of-work ](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/proof-of-work-pow)consensus mechanism that requires miners to mine new Ether. 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. However, it has since retraced to below $0.50. Whether the token will hit $1 again and possibly eclipse its previous high will depend on the implementation of new features and the acquisition of new users.

Splinterlands is a digital, collectible card game based on blockchain technology and inspired by games like Magic the Gathering and Hearthstone, where players build a collection of cards with different attributes and battle other players in skills-based matches. It is a game where players can buy, sell and trade their digital assets just as they would with physical trading cards games such as Magic the Gathering, Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh!

Splinterlands was created as players lost the ability to truly own their assets (or trading cards) once games went digital. With blockchain technology, it allows players to own and trade their digital assets freely once again. It also allows the game to have true scarcity and transparency, which means all cards on Splinterlands have a verifiable supply and historical record.

Players battle other players by choosing ranked or practice battles. With ranked battles, players can increase their rating. There is no downside to playing ranked battles as a beginner since players with a rating below 100 do not lose ranking points. Battles take place between players of similar strength. When matched up with an opponent, both players choose a set of six monster cards and one summoner card for the battle to destroy all their opponent’s monster cards and win the battle.

Although the game is free-to-play, players need to purchase the summoner’s spellbook for $10 if they want to unlock the game in full. With the summoner’s spellbook, players get access to their account keys and unlock the ability to earn Dark Energy Crystals, which can be redeemed for real currency.

Splinterlands started in May 2018 and launched Splintershards (SPS) – its governance token for the SPS decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) at the end of July 2021. It concluded a $3.6M private token sale for 6.6% of the SPS token supply. After reaching 100,000 players in its first three years, it added another 50,000 in just over a month from June 2021. Splinterland plans to build out its game in the latter half of 2021, with oracle integration planned for Q1 2022.

Aavegotchi (GHST) is the governance token of the Aavegotchi NFT Gaming protocol. GHST token holders receive voting power in the AavegotchiDAO, which oversees all aspects of the protocol, Aavegotchi’s flagship game the Gotchiverse, and Aavegotchi NFTs.

Aavegotchis themselves are pixelated ghosts backed by the ERC-721 token standard. The Aavegotchi NFTs have dynamic metadata that changes over time through user interaction.

An Aavegotchi’s value and rarity is determined by its collateral stake, traits and wearables.

Collateral stake is based on the innovative ERC721 Aavegotchi NFT that manages an escrow contract holding Aave-backed ERC20 collateral or "aToken," which generates yield via Aave's LendingPool. Traits are based on random traits upon birth, kinship and experience (XP).

The protocol is called Aavegotchi as a nod to Aave, which translates to “ghost” in Finnish, and is powered by the Aave protocol, one of the leading lending protocol in DeFi. The token ticker also cleverly spells out “ghost,” minus the vowel.

Ampleforth is an Ethereum-based cryptocurrency with an algorithmically adjusted circulating supply. It is designed to be the base money of the new decentralized economy, by providing an asset that cannot be diluted by supply inflation and remains decoupled to the price action of other cryptocurrencies—and Bitcoin (BTC) in particular.

With Ampleforth, token holders own a fixed fraction of the total AMPL circulating supply, rather than a fixed number of tokens. When the protocol detects that the price of AMPL is too high, it increases the circulating supply, whereas the supply is decreased if the price is too low.

This change is propagated to all Ampleforth wallets, which have their wallet balance adjusted proportionally. Irrespective of this change, AMPL holders will still retain the same percentage of the token supply.

This automatic supply adjustment process is known as a “rebase” and occurs once each day, with a positive rebase if the price goes above $1.06, and a negative rebase if it is below $0.96. The overall goal of the system is to create incentives that drive the market price of AMPL back to ~$1.
