## What Is Merit Circle (MC)

[Merit Circle](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/merit-circle/) is a decentralized autonomous organization ([DAO](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/decentralized-autonomous-organizations-dao)) that focuses on developing the play-to-earn ([P2E](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/glossary/play-to-earn-play2earn)) economy. The project wishes to create a new era of gameplay where users would be able to earn money by playing games that they love, instead of treating them as a simple hobby. The project launched on 4th of November, 2021, but it has been in development since July 2021. Despite its young age, it already has a massive community, with over 64,800 followers on Twitter.

Merit Circle currently supports Axie Infinity — the most popular [monster-battling play-to-earn game](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-axie-infinity) with the highest volume traded. Meanwhile, by playing-to-earn, its scholars are gaining new skills that will soon be in huge demand as employers are slowly but surely expanding into the crypto metaverse.

In the pipeline, the DAO plans to support Star Atlas, Illuvium, and Hash Rush. Star Atlas, for example, was described as the [most ambitious blockchain game](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-star-atlas-atlas-polis-the-next-generation-of-blockchain-gaming). [Illuvium](https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/what-is-illuvium) appears to be a type of an upcoming survival game that takes place on an alien world, while [Hash Rush](https://twitter.com/PlayHashRush) is an online sci-fi/fantasy RTS set in the fictional Hermeian galaxy, where once again, players have to build, fight, and trade their way to survival and victory. 


## What Makes Merit Circle Unique?

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
