Community-led platform Kratos Gaming Network (KGeN), formerly known as IndiGG, has launched a nationwide campaign to educate gamers about Web3 gaming and its associated benefits including income opportunities and alternative careers.
The campaign will run in Mumbai, Delhi, Indore, and Kolkata including other tier one, two, and three cities, targeting communities and college and university students. The platform will conduct activities like student meetups that will feature inspiring stories of gamers who have significantly contributed income-wise to their families for income.
Also part of the campaign will be college competitions and roundtable discussions with Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) like educators, psychologists and others in the space who will provide insights into the future landscape of gaming and blockchain technology, beyond traditional careers. Blockchain enhances player ownership by allowing gamers to have true ownership of in-game assets that can be bought, sold, and traded across different games and platforms. The platform has claimed to have enabled monetisation for more than one million gamers and has expected to see a 20x increase in the number of gamers with this move.
KGeN has created the Proof-of-Gamer (PoG) engine, a pool of immutable data of gamers, which will allow gamers to have ownership and rights to their data on a chain and allow them to monetise it.
The primary objective of this campaign is to dispel misconceptions surrounding gaming as a viable career option, particularly in the realm of web3 gaming. The platform aims to address parental concerns and equip students with the knowledge and confidence to pursue their passion for gaming as a positive career path by fostering dialogue and education.
Kratos Gaming Network elder member council Ishank Gupta said, “Data ownership for gamers will be a game changer for the industry. With this national campaign, we intend to empower gamers and make them aware of the new opportunities and possibilities. Data ownership is going to be revolutionary for the industry, and the potential applications extend far beyond gaming. We’re talking about a fundamental shift in the way we interact with technology, with users taking ownership of their data and shaping the future of the digital world.”
KGeN is building an ecosystem that aims to be the home of global gamer data, owned by gamers. At the heart of it is the Proof of Gamer (PoG) engine that allows gamers to build, own, flex and monetise their reputation. This data framework can be accessed by game publishers to find relevant gamer cohorts to engage with their games.
