HyperBridge: Let's build the future of digital economies.

INTRODUCTION

Hyperbridge is developing decentralized protocols for the deployment of dapps within an industry specific “micro-economy”, facilitated through their protocol-driven platform BlockHub to unite producers & consumers. The first focus will be on the gaming industry. BlockHub will provide game developers with an out-of-the-box solution to fundraise, market, and publish their games, while also giving consumers a vibrant marketplace to find new, innovative titles.

Good ideas should be given the opportunity to thrive. If you have ideas, you are a creator. Hyperbridge is building protocols on the best blockchains. These protocols will support product & digital asset marketplaces, licensing and secure crowdfunding. These tools will enable creators to bring their projects to life. It's Steam meet Kickstarter with blockchain superpowers.

The Gaming Industry is an undeniable force of commerce. Boasting an estimated $108 billion in revenue and 2.2 billion users worldwide in 2017, the once quaint world of pixelated plumbers is now a global behemoth capable of directing culture and making billionaires of its participants. It is anticipated that digital game revenue will grow to $125.3 billion by the end of 2018.

In popular culture, HyperBridge sees the emergence of gaming as a legitimate cultural and professional identity, with professional gamers and streamers emblazoning their presence into the public consciousness, and making lucrative careers of their passions.

BLOCKHUB: A PLATFORM FOR GAMES AND FOR GAMERS

BlockHub is a decentralized, smart contract enabled digital distribution platform that enables developers to quickly and easily take all of the necessary steps to successfully launch their creations. In turn, gamers have the ability to become financiers in the projects of their choice and active participants in the entire project development process. Through the use of decentralized protocols, the community ultimately has control over the actions within the system and how it evolves.

Powered by blockchain technology and a native token, our platform facilitates the creation of direct economic relationships between developers and gamers, bringing into consideration the interests of all the most important stakeholders in the video-game industry. Through the BlockHub solution and our in-depth understanding of the issues affecting the gaming ecosystem, we are on a mission to create a vast decentralized ecosystem that will bring massive innovation to the $108.9B gaming market.

HYPERBRIDGE TOKEN (HBX)

Hyperbridge protocols will be powered by the HBX token, used to pay fees for utilizing the Hyperbridge network, and to incentivize participants of the network for network-and-project-support actions such as curation and promotion. The HBX token is built on the ERC-20 standard. Blockchain/smart contract based tokens enable the perfect crowdfunding platform, where tranches are released when agreed milestones have been reached. BlockHub will support a variety of tokens, however HBX will be the native token in which all fees are denominated. HBX will power the BlockHub economy through its use in a number of specific operations.

Using a dedicated token for Hyperbridge protocols and the BlockHub ecosystem provide many advantages:
-- Participate in current and future micro-economies within BlockHub in order to benefit from the services provided by developers accessing the Hyperbridge Platform.
-- Purchase a membership subscription (free, basic, pro, premium), marketplace apps, and in-app upgrades (skins, costumes, loot boxes, etc).
-- Stake HBX to vote in marketplace app polls (eg. future development such as game character development, plot ending/twist development) and to elect district leaders.
-- Manage incentives in a way that drives ecosystem effects for the benefit of all participants in BlockHub.
-- Publishing d’apps on the marketplace, incentivizing curators to review their projects, and for other non-basic operations.
-- Pay fees for utilizing the Hyperbridge network -- User incentives are paid exclusively in HBX

Hyperbridge will raise funds through a private stage, then a public stage. Proceeds from these funding rounds will be used to expand our developer team for network development, marketing, business development, operations and R&D.

ROADMAP

BlockHub’s target audience is two fold, both the billions of gamers on the planet and the small or independent game developers and studios. HyperBridge plans to acquire market share and incentivize individuals to join the ecosystem using the following tactics:

CONCLUSION

The game publishing model as we know it is flawed, inefficient and benefits few other than the top studios. Smaller studios and Indie Developers who try to operate in the space face an uphill battle to simply get funded so that they can get their products developed. Once developed, they must deal with punitive fees, crowded marketplaces, and lack the means to engage and incentivize their audiences.

There needs to be a solution to simplify the game development and publishing process so that developers and users can see the best ideas developed into the products that gamers love to play.
