IceBreakerAR [ICE] | Bringing Augmented Gaming, Networking, and Relationships to the Forefront of Blockchain Technology
IceBreaker's Intentions:
The main goal of 'ICE' is to create a world in which users feel comfortable interacting with their own avatar[s] in a blockchain built world filled with immense networking options. IceBreaker will do just that, 'break the ice' for those that maybe find it easier to express themselves digitally. Messaging is available to users before unveiling avatars, and this creates a more real (and augmented) feel to the reality of meeting someone new.
[From the IceBreakerAR Website]:
"ICE Avatars become an extension of your personality and provides a dynamic canvas for your self-expression. The avatar is YOU in whatever unlimited way you wish to present yourself to the world."
"Earn rewards to level up your Avatar or earn free credits by viewing AR advertisements, matching and interacting with other users, attending events, participating in loot drops, and many, many more ways."
In summation, ICE seeks to suit interactions as the user feels fit. Whether it be to purely level up ones avatar or actually find a social interaction for an eventual meetup, IceBreakerAR seeks to set these arrangements up and enlighten users on how to network in this beautifully built blockchain arena.
Innovation for Gaming Apps and its Entire Market:
According to the IceBreaker WhitePaper, "Users can purchase the following:
• Avatar Accessories – Users can customize their avatars with a variety of accessories,
clothes and animations
• AR Gifts & Collectibles – AR gifts may be purchased to give to matches or to collect
limited items
• Approach Assistant - a personal helper when the User doesn’t know what to message
or say to a match
• Premium Networking Contacts - credits may be used to unlock highly rated matches
to network
Retail partners will enhance the IceBreakerAR experience for the User in addition to providing a net new revenue stream for the retailer."
In essence, IceBreaker's success will translate to real world value, especially if large companies start wanting a piece of the network and provide ICE cards and materials for in game purchases.
Sustaining Token Worth:
When users purchase in-app ICE Credits, ICE themselves will buy 25% of that amount [in tokens] and burn
them (to in essence create scarcity and worth). This kind of consistent liquidity (especially with the popularity of in-game purchases) can only shoot the value of ICE to the moon (eventually)!
Loyalty Benefits:
According to the WhitePaper, ICE will also offer 'status tiers' for the userbase.
Loyalty pacakges will correlate to the number of days a user stakes his tokens:
"30 days, Bronze status, minimum of 5,000 tokens
60 days, Silver status, minimum of 15,000 tokens
90 days, Gold status, minimum of 30,000 tokens
120 days, Platinum status, minimum of 60,000 tokens"
The option for a charity donation will also be available to all users in an effort to promote philanthropy.
Final Thoughts:
I think this venture is tremendous! In essence, this is an all in one gaming app, dating app, and networking app! One can unlock their full potential in-game and in life once real relationships are created. IceBreakerAR seeks to create an experience that eradicates the awkwardness of meeting someone new, and it's using the blockchain to propel their awesome platform.
