There are many different kinds of projects in today’s DeFi industry, and most of them tend to combine the potential of NFTs, cryptocurrencies, and blockchain technology in an innovative way. However, there aren’t as many initiatives that are amalgamating these digital endeavors with the metaverse concept, and a big reason for that is because the metaverse is still relatively new compared to cryptocurrencies and NFTs.
Nevertheless, the potential of the metaverse should not be underestimated as numerous companies, firms and large-scale businesses across the world have expressed interest in it. One aspect in particular that is worth observing is the relationship that the metaverse has not just with crypto, NFTs and blockchain, but also with Play-To-Earn (P2E).
What is P2E?
Put simply, the P2E concept refers to any game which allows players to earn an income while they are enjoying the game. Usually, this income would be in the form of various cryptocurrencies and tokens which can then be sold on compatible exchanges for real money.
Some of these games may require players to invest some tokens (or even NFTs) whereas others would enable users to earn crypto simply by playing. Some of the more popular P2E games these days are Axie Infinity, Gods Unchained, and The Sandbox.
Polker enters the fray
Now that we know what the P2E concept is, it’s time to talk about Polker. Polker is the first poker game that features NFTs, P2E, and free-to-play functionalities alongside high-quality visuals and the utilization of blockchain technology. Polker prioritizes the user experience over all else, a significant improvement from past poker platforms.
Moreover, it uses Unreal Engine 4 to provide some truly advanced graphics which go well with the metaverse-based environment of the game. In this way, not only can players enjoy the game in a truly unique and immersive manner, but they can also earn some money too.
