YULIVERSE – BREAKING DOWN BARRIERS BETWEEN GAMEFI AND SOCIALFI

I. Yuliverse Overview

What is Yuliverse?

Yuliverse is making waves as a trailblazer in the Metaverse gaming realm, pushing boundaries with its distinctive fusion of GameFi and SocialFi components.

As a blockchain game that integrates play-to-earn and free-to-play aspects, Yuliverse has attracted backing from prominent investors like LIF Capital, Animoca Ventures, and Cyberport in Hong Kong. This support cements the project’s position as a standout on the BNB Chain.

The core experience of Yuliverse revolves around the integration of NFTs and cryptocurrencies, along with elements of Alternate Reality Games (ARG) and art (ART). The game introduces a groundbreaking “earn-as-you-play” mechanism, encouraging players to participate in missions and challenges that not only entertain but also reward them with two native tokens that play a crucial role in the Yuliverse ecosystem.

What sets Yuliverse apart is its commitment to promoting interaction and social bonding. Players not only explore a role-playing alternate reality but also connect with local businesses, creating a dynamic and immersive experience.

Yuliverse’s Gameplay

Yuliverse is strongly active in both the online and offline markets.

Online:

• Yuli NFT Simulation
• Card Battle (Call of Ancients)
• PVE Battle (Wars of the Realms)

Offline:

• LBS PVP Battle
• LBS Campaign
• Check in spot

LBS Chain Overview

Currently, Yuliverse operates on the BNB Chain. However, the potential of the Yuliverse team goes beyond that as they are also developing a Layer 3 blockchain called LBS Chain.

Details: https://lbs-chain.gitbook.io/officialdocs

What is LBS Chain?

LBS Chain, a Layer 3 App chain, is designed to cater to the specific needs of each product. Unlike Layer 1 & Layer 2 platforms such as Ethereum or BNB Chain, LBS Chain doesn’t serve the same roles but offers value by facilitating developers to create local Web3 service Dapps easily and affordably. Additionally, users can participate in and benefit from LBS data.

=> LBS Chain empowers the mass implementation of local Web3 service applications.

Reasons for Yuliverse Developing LBS Chain:

Challenges of Web2:

• Users lack ownership of their data and digital assets.
• Tech giants dominate user data and experiences.
• Local services gather substantial user location data (LBS) without reciprocating value to users.

Web3 Requires More Than Finance:

• Numerous existing Web3 projects are unsustainable pyramid schemes.
• Excessive focus on finance impedes broad adoption.
• “Breakthrough applications” are essential to integrate blockchain benefits into everyday life.

The Vision of LBS Chain Ecosystem

Decentralized location-based applications (dApps) could be the key to widespread adoption.

LBS Chain offers a platform for these innovative dApps, aiming to:

• Unlock valuable location data currently held in silos controlled by internet giants.
• Integrate LBS data from dApps in a decentralized way.
• Promote data sharing within the ecosystem through a shared ownership model.

Privacy Rights in Web3:

• Decentralized Identity (DID) allows data collection without violating privacy rights.
• Users only provide their DID to LBS Chain, without sharing personal information.

Overall, LBS Chain aims to create a Web3 ecosystem where users own their data, benefit from location-based services, and participate in a fair and sustainable economy.

II. Outstanding Points

Unlike many other gaming projects that are still in the fundraising stage with just ideas, Yuliverse already has a completed product.

• Apple App Store: Rated 4.5 stars
• Google Play Store: 10,000 downloads and 4 stars rated.

BNB Chain has a dedicated article for Yuliverse in the section of prominent projects.

III. Tokenomics
