Zentry: The Game of Games, Reshaping the Play Economy

Recently, the GuildFi brand was upgraded to Zentry, attracting widespread attention in the industry. Zentry's founder, Jarindr, shared his unique insights on Web3 gaming and the future vision of Zentry.

Jarindr has an engineering background and has been deeply involved in the cryptocurrency field for nearly 10 years. He has participated in the development of Layer 2 technologies, such as the Plasma protocol. Over two years ago, he began focusing on the Web3 gaming sector, which he is truly passionate about.

When it comes to the impact of blockchain on gaming, Jarindr believes that the biggest change is the increase in transparency. This will greatly enhance the user experience, especially in terms of the verifiability of asset ownership and quantity. He emphasizes that the key to attracting Web2 users lies in focusing on the game itself, rather than on hollow blockchain theories.

The product design of Zentry aims to balance the needs of Web2 and Web3 users. For example, Radiant primarily targets Web2 users, providing a seamless NFT experience, while Nexus focuses on the Web3 user base. Jarindr acknowledges that many game studios encounter setbacks when attempting to integrate Web2.5.

The core concept of Zentry is still based on community and gaming. Jarindr points out that when users prioritize earning rewards as the main goal of the game, it changes a lot of the gaming experience. Nevertheless, he still believes that the reward mechanism is an important pillar of gaming products, but the design of Zentry in this regard will be different.

Zentry's vision is to create a "game of games," which means building a Play Economy layer on top of numerous games. In the Zentry ecosystem, the concept of gaming is expanded, where daily activities like exercising or buying coffee can also become part of the game. The focus is on prioritizing immersive experiences and intellectual property rather than just rewards.

The Zentry plan aims to enhance existing games by providing an additional layer of experience. For example, players may receive extra rewards or resources offered by Zentry while playing a certain game, which can be used in other games or experiences.

Regarding the technical implementation, Zentry is currently deployed on Ethereum, but may expand to multiple blockchains in the future. Each quarter, Zentry will launch new products and experiences.

The product line of Zentry includes:

1. Radiant: A meta-game product that connects Web2 and Web3 games.
2. Nexus: A social portal for Web3 users that gamifies social interactions.
3. Zigma: A product for NFT collectors.
4. Azul: A product with AI attributes.

Jarindr emphasized that the various parts of Zentry are interconnected, creating an ecosystem similar to the real world, where each participant has their own role and contribution.

The ZENT token plays an important role in the Zentry ecosystem. The team plans to return a portion of the profits to token holders in various ways, with rewards based on users' contributions and participation in Zentry. In addition, ZENT will serve as the universal token for all Zentry products, and more functions will be introduced in the future.

Zentry's innovative concept and comprehensive ecosystem design showcase the immense potential of Web3 gaming, bringing new possibilities to the gaming industry.
