What is PlayerOne

eSports is the new buzzword in the gaming industry that boasts a USD 137.9 billion market. According to Newzoo, competitive play accounts for 60% of the total market share, driving the eSports market to a 37.8% year on year growth of USD 900 million.

With the rise of competitive games and eSports, the need for verified gamer identity also grows in demand. Gamer Identity that encompasses the gamer’s play history, stats, and reputation is now imperative when it comes to recruitment, team management, amateur to pro discovery, tournament entry, and more.

However, game companies holds all record of gamer activity. Without the game company, all data pertaining to the gamer cannot exist independently. To add, tournament stats that significantly contribute a team’s and/or pro gamer’s resume is stored by fragmented governing bodies. As a result, all parties within the gaming industry spend tremendous resources in terms of both time and cost to bridge the gap between gamers, gamers and eSports teams, gamers and tournament organizers, and ultimately, between gamers and game companies.

So why doesn’t a service of the likes of LinkedIn exist for gamers?

PlayerOne proposes to build a gamer identity standard powered by blockchain technology. In effect, gamers will be able to consolidate all their gaming aliases on the blockchain under PlayerOne ID. Without precedence, we are shifting the ownership and use of gameplay stats to the gamer.

To date, the gaming industry has been unable to create a common gameplay database due to conflict of interest by competing parties. We recognize that blockchain technology presents a unique means to entrust game data to be stored and to be reliably utilized by all pockets of the gaming industry.

At PlayerOne, we envision our protocol to lay the groundwork for a reliable gamer database, a New Trust Layer, whereby gamers and related industry participants can reduce costs while instilling value in gamers’ experience.
