The future of gaming enabled by blockchain technology!

Computer games, a booming industry that tends to take advantage of any technological advancements making the player bond towards the game they play stronger than ever. If you told your grandma that the gaming industry rakes 108 billion USD yearly, they would say to you that you have gone mad and you should start searching for a real job already.

The reality is that computer games have become an integral part of our culture and serious brain power is allocated to make the experiences more and more immersive, some even bridging the real world with the virtual world.

The gaming market is relatively new and flourishing. We have gone from purchasing cartridges with Mario and playing alone in the basements; to MMORPGs (multiplayer online games) that allow people from all over the world to band together and fight the fiercest of foes while searching for the most epic loot and proving yourself in the digitally created worlds.

Paying to play a game, however, will become fast just a thing of the past as blockchain technology enables the implementation of cryptocurrencies, this way, players can earn their keep into the games with a real store of value kept safe on a distributed ledger system.

While more and more games become a global phenomenon that does not mean that they operation scales smoothly as well. Thus more often than not users have to endure delayed payments, global transactions fees taken by banks, fraud hits and a staggering lack of data transparency. With the help of Smart Contracts, however, these issues can be fixed and even improved upon.

The Yumerium platform with the help of the YUM token strives to become the go-to place for gaming on the blockchain. Think of the Steam ecosystem but without the centralized nature where all the profits go to one company that has arbitrage rights on the content that gets on the platform. These three categories of users can benefit from the Yumerium ecosystem:

1. Developers can publish their games on the platform and get unbiased opinion and rewards based on the actual value of the product.
2. Reviewers can earn YUM tokens for curating the content and games that’s published on the platform while making the experience more enjoyable for everyone.
3. Gamers can earn tokens as well by playing their favourite games and complete specific tasks; they can then use them to buy other games or benefit from in-game services.

So if you want to participate in the gaming revolution started by Yumerium, you can do so, by participating in their public token sale that begins on the 22nd of April 2018. If you choose to buy tokens until the 28th of April you benefit from a 30% discount. The tokens will be issued to the holders within 30 days after the token sale period is over.
