Hoard

Hoard’s platform allows game makers to integrate their games and communities with blockchain technology and leverage its benefits without the complexity and cost of building and maintaining infrastructure themselves. Delivering on the promise of True Ownership, Hoard’s platform helps power new revenue streams for Game-Makers and finally gives gamers the ability to buy, sell, or trade their digital in-game items.

Key features and benefits of the Hoard platform:

Hoard Software Development Kit (HSDK)

Hoard SDK is an easy-to-use Open-Source tool to integrate any game with the blockchain. Simple and well-documented, Hoard’s SDK means that developers don’t need to be blockchain experts to use it for their games. HSKD allows game makers to easily “tokenize” game assets and design the trading properties of their items (e.g. fees, conditions, validity periods, etc.)

Hoard Marketplace

All assets created (i.e. minted) with Hoard SDK can automatically be traded on the marketplace at the heart of the platform. Hoard’s Marketplace is a decentralized exchange that provides game-makers with ongoing revenue through carefully-designed fee structures and allows gamers to safely and legally buy, sell, trade or even rent out their digital assets and converts them to “real” money through a secure and seamless fiat-cryptocurrency exchange (powered by OmiseGo solutions)

Crowdfunding Platform

A place to raise funds for game development where creators can bypass traditional funding-models and take advantage of Hoard’s game-centric community to support their project and raise funds by selling in-game assets, rewards, and early game access. With the blockchain technology, there is no chance of fraud.

Hoard Bazaar

This advanced feature on Hoard’s platform will be a gateway to virtual employment in gaming. Users will be able to set up their own customized shops and earn a living by offering crafted virtual items or even their services by providing in-game experiences such as a mentor, guide, opponent, or team member “for-hire”.

Pawn-shop for virtual goods

Some rare virtual items might be worth as much as real-world artefacts and they could be used as collateral for a loan. Through Hoard’s Pawn-shop such transactions will be guarded by smart contracts which will make them immutable, secure and trustless.

Game marketing tool kit

This feature will offer a wide selection of marketing tools which will allow game makers to better promote their games as well as extend the game’s lifecycle and increase the level of engagement within their communities.

Hoard Token (HRD)

All goods and services on the Hoard platform maintain their underlying value in HRD. The “Hoard token” or HRD can be considered the lifeblood of the economic system functioning on top of the Hoard platform. As a token running on the Ethereum blockchain, it enables near-instantaneous and secure transfer of any virtual content or transaction on the platform.
