Key Features
🎮 Register a Game
Game studios can register a game freely, without needing permission. When creating a game for the first time, you’ll be asked to provide its metadata and define at least one Game Edition.
When you register a game or an edition, an NFT representing its ownership is minted. This NFT grants you admin rights over the game or edition. You can update the metadata of your game or any edition at any time — including name, description, icon, image gallery, video, and more.
🚀 Publish a Game
Once your game is registered, you can publish it to request a review. After approval, the game will be whitelisted and made publicly visible to all users on the platform.
🧩 Create and update Game Editions
You can create new editions of your game at any time — each edition gets its own ownership NFT. As the game owner, you control which editions are visible or hidden. As the edition owner, you can choose to publish or hide your edition from public view.
🚀 Publish and whitelist an Edition
As the edition owner you have the ability to publish your edition once created. Once published, the game owner has the ability to whitelist you Edition to make it public.
