Jeffhardy: Yamzu - eSports tournaments on blocking technology

Yamzu is a unique platform that is based on the browser. Existing programs do not allow players to feel secure - most often, the data is not confidential, which leads to serious problems. The Yamzu developers took into account the research, which allows to note a very interesting trend - the browser platform can become a really high-quality, popular project. The creators of Yamzu have long worked on their project - they have already managed to create a huge client base, as well as earn substantial profits - 2 years of work allowed to increase revenue by 300%.

The purpose of the decentralized platform Yamzu

It is worth highlighting some important factors:

Teams, as well as individual players will get an excellent opportunity to fight for individual awards and excellent team prizes;

Creating tournaments is an excellent opportunity for organizers, investors and large companies to promote their own brand;

A great chance for sponsors and advertisers - considering the globality of the project, everyone can advertise their products or services in the best possible way and efficiently;

Constant development - today the decentralized platform of Yamzu can be used for tournaments on several popular games, but developers are constantly working to expand this list. If investors want to support the project - the developers promise a significantly updated functionality of Yamzu.

Developer's vision
As a brand, Yamzu plans to branch out into several niches in the gaming industry - including but not limited to entertainment centers, talent agencies supporting Twitch, as well as streamers and brand-oriented brands.

In the long term, Yamzu should become a large-scale decentralized platform where any SportSports competitions can be held, regardless of their skill level. At the same time, we are developing several separate projects based on Blockchain, they are directly related to the platform. With due funding - all projects will be implemented in the near future.
Yamzu intends to become the leading provider of eSports tournaments, one of which is related to P2P (Peer to Peer) games, as well as to significant regional and global tournaments. The fact that Yamzu already supports the activity of the created platform, gives hope to those investors who believed the developers and decided to invest in the project. In the future, we will work with game developers, forming a symbiotic relationship related to the creation of new, unique projects. In addition, it is planned to develop a system for introducing new competitive disciplines - if the games will be popular among customers, then the competition will become an indispensable condition. At the same time, developers of the decentralized platform are ready to open new horizons for active users, as well as creators of game content. They will be able to effectively monetize their own efforts, receive rewards for their activities. Inside the platform, a crypto currency will become a payment instrument.

Here are 4 ways the blockchain is going to revolutionize eSports:

1. Blockchain makes eSports more transparent and secure

eSports have a trust problem. Players have to trust the organizer, the sponsor, and even the fans sending them donations. But scams are big business in eSports. People with no intention to pay out prizes use the branding of well known organizers. Trolls send donations to players only to reverse the payment weeks later. And sponsors list fake prizes that they never send to winners. Blockchain will help make eSports more transparent and secure. Prize pools can be held securely in escrow in smart contracts, automatically sent to the winner when the results of a match have been verified. Players won’t need to be able to trust that the sponsor or organizer is acting in good faith because there’s no way for a prize or donation to be taken back.

2. Blockchain levels the playing field between amateurs and professionals

As the industry has grown and professionalized, the wage gap between gamers has become wider. Now, it’s harder for amateurs to take part in the major tournaments and access higher prize pools. Blockchains lower the variable cost of operating a secure database. This means Yamzu can treat small and big budgets the same, and anyone can organize, and take part in, tournaments. Blockchains equalize the status of players so that everyone can access a level playing field where only skills matter.

3. Blockchain puts players in control

eSports players are put under a lot of pressure. Managers have forced their teams to throw games and lose on purpose so they can illegally fix betting odds. And due to the high costs of setting up a tournament, players have to rely on big budget organizers who don’t always have their interests at heart. Currently, there’s no easy way for eSports players to create their own events. Blockchain-enabled smart contracts make it cheaper to set up a tournament and distribute prizes. Now gamers are free organize competitions with their own rules, independent of sponsors and affiliates.

4. Blockchain makes it easier to monetize eSports

Cryptocurrencies offer players a secure way to receive payments that cannot bounce or be taken back. More tournaments mean more opportunities to win prizes. The only thing that should matter is skill, not fame. This will give visibility to more talented players around the world and make it easier for teams and sponsors to scout new talent. With the blockchain, Yamzu can bring together all the resources and tools a player, team, sponsor or developer might need to earn revenue from eSports: team and tournament setup, prize pool payout, stats, and the integration of new games.

At Yamzu, we are driven to make eSports more transparent and secure. As players ourselves, we are confident blockchain will help put gamers in control as the industry continues to grow. Peer to peer gaming is about sharing the value with the dedicated players who create it in the first place. Our decentralized eSports platform will demonstrates the full potential of blockchain technology.
