New York, NY, Jan 18, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - The SAVAGE marketplace launches in January, after an IDO on FantomStarter and Occam (Jan 17th-19th), and the $SAVG token goes live on Gate.io on January 20th, 2022 (12:00 UTC).
The increasing popularity of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) has liberated artists and content creators by removing the necessity of using bloated legacy platforms and connecting creators directly with the customer. Yet until now, some artists have been left out in the cold. This is in large part due to the size requirements of their medium and the environmental concerns surrounding current NFT marketplaces.
Most phones are able to record High-quality 4K and 8K videos, this produces large file sizes and the current marketplaces cap their uploads around 10MB-40MB. Additionally, photographers wanting to sell the highest versions of their work (TIFF or RAW) have had to settle for compressed JPEGs.
Savage will give creators the ability to share their work in whatever format they choose. Whether it's the original RAW image or 4K/8K ProRes video, by increasing file size limits to 2GB, artists have the freedom to display their collections in unrivaled quality.
However, this is not the most important issue that SAVAGE corrects.
Most of the popular NFT platforms operate on blockchains that use Proof of Work (PoW) consensus mechanisms and because of that, the energy consumption coming from them has exploded. Minting a single NFT typically requires the same amount of energy used to power a laptop continuously for three years.
Enter SAVAGE
By creating their own utility token on Polygon's Proof of Stake (PoS) protocol, SAVAGE requires only 0.002% of the energy required by a PoW marketplace. This decision allows us to increase maximum file sizes, while keeping minting fees to a minimum. Building on Polygon, ensures total compatibility with Ethereum and a smooth transition to the ETH 2.0 protocol, should that become a viable option.
SAVAGE was built completely from scratch as a content marketplace for today's photographic and videographic creators to sell their work responsibly.
The SAVAGE marketplace platform is powered by the $SAVG token, which is utilized for carbon-neutral minting, purchase, and payout of NFTs, trustless digital rights management, and ensuring fair governance on transition to the SAVAGE DAO.
People can be one of the first to own $SAVG by participating in the upcoming IDOs on OccamRazer or FantomStarter! For the most up to date information join Savage on Discord or Telegram
Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian is the latest industry figure to express excitement about the concept of play to earn games. The serial entrepreneur, who has now turned his attention mainly to blockchain and crypto-related projects, is optimistic about the promise of play to earn, predicting that it will dominate the gaming world in just a few short years.
"90% of people will not play a game unless they are being properly valued for that time," Ohanian claimed in the podcast. "In five years, you will actually value your time properly, and instead of being harvested for advertisements, or being fleeced for dollars to buy stupid hammers you don't actually own, you will be playing some on-chain equivalent game that will be just as fun, but you'll actually earn value and you will be the harvester."
Play to earn games generally use crypto tokens instead of a regular in-game currency, meaning that players can theoretically exchange their in-game earnings for real-world currency. The most popular title in the category at the moment is Axie Infinity, a Pokemon-like game where the titular Axies can be bought and sold for RONIN cryptocurrency.
Axie's in-game economy is already running into issues according to a Business Insider report, which claims that player returns from the game are slowly diminishing over time due to players cashing out earnings instead of investing them back into the game. The game also has a minimum buy-in of around $300, a high barrier to entry for many players, with lower-level players often earning well below minimum wage.
Other industry figures who have expressed interest in the concept of play to earn games include Take-Two head Strauss Zelnick, EA CEO Andrew Wilson, and Square Enix CEO Yosuke Matsuda, whose comments on blockchain games sparked controversy when he predicted that gamers would move away from what he called "play to have fun."
The NFTs of Alexandra, Kambal, and Tikbalang are the first three collectibles in a limited series which Baldisimo and Buenaventura will continue in 2022.
