I. Introduction
Wide coverage of the NFT market is critical to the development of the Everscale network.
Unlike DeFi, NFT possesses the substantial advantage: NFT tokens are applicable in games, music or tokenization of the digital world - as the unique property. As well, in the nearest future one could store on blockchain large files like audio or video with the help of NFT tokens; the files’ owner can be certain they are intact.
Another popular concept is GameFi, which unites DeFi and NFT. Due to games popularity the value of NFT as an in-game item skyrockets immediately. Games will also bring new vitality to NFT and infuse the giant momentum into cryptocurrency branch development.
DappRadar reports: July to September the volume of NFT trades reached USD 10.67B - 704% more than the previous quarter. As for games-related NFT items: at the same time period its trades volume was USD 2.32B - 21.72% of the entire trades volume, showing 762% growth in comparison to the previous quarter.
Per another DappRadar data, by the end of March 2021 there were more than 50 000 active wallets, interacting with game-related smart contracts at blockchain. During the 2nd quarter this number reached 360 000, growing 600%. Currently about 370 000 wallets remain active in blockchain games every day, and the number of wallets keeps growing.
II. NFT & GameFi Alliance
NFT and GameFi Alliance is the community of like-minded individuals and companies with the common goal: to create an environment for substantial and sustainable growth of Everscale.
Alliance teams had already invested more than USD 2.5M into Everscale blockchain-based NFT and GameFi projects development and onboarding. Alliance will also allocate financial means to NFT and GameFi projects with a good reputation - those, in turn, will be developing products with the use of Everscale blockchain.
Alliance activity will be directed to:
The rise in popularity of NFTs on Everscale and an increase in their number and turnover
- Increase of transaction numbers in Everscale network.
- Attraction of new NFT and GameFi projects into Everscale.
- Motivation and assistance to NFT and GameFi development teams in creating new Everscale blockchain-based projects.
- Assistance on Everscale blockchain onboarding to successful existing projects.
Standardization
Alliance participants put all the efforts to implement the best practices of NFT structure, including games-related NFT. Presently, wallets like Ever Surf and EverSpace already support NFT displaying. More information is available from AMA session Surf & True NFT record and our TG group.
We organize the NFT Standardization process and have following challenges:
NFT Standard supported by:
- wallets - EVER Surf, EVER Wallet and EverSpace;
- explorers - TON Live, TON Scan.
EVER Connect (universal authentication interface) supported by:
- wallets - EVER Wallet and EverSpace;
- All NFT & GameFi Alliance members (grandbazar.io, chessnft.com, nft.third.place, tonswap.io, tonbridge.io, everscalend.com, swap.block-chain.com).
Awareness
The Alliance’s efforts are largely aimed at promoting and recognizing NFT on Everscale. One of the target points in this direction, we see ensuring the listing of Everscale NFT on major platforms such as DappRadar (done), NFT Scoring, Сryptoscores, Сoin mooner, NFT evening, NFT calendar, Non-fungi, Next NFT drop, Gem hunters, Coin hunters, etc.
In addition, we set a task to list TOP10 NFT marketplaces operating on the Everscale network on popular aggregators.
In order to attract more creators and users who will buy NFT, the program plans to solve the following technical problems:
- lack of mechanisms for publicly displaying an up-to-date list of acquired NFTs;
- lack of standard of NFT trading;
- lack of a single standard on NFTs for all the Everscale marketplaces;
- lack of a convenient way to collect statistics on single NFTs and NFT collections (sales volume, number of users, etc.).
To solve these problems, it is proposed to develop such additional mechanics as:
- farming \ staking NFT;
- selling NFT for TIP3;
- NFT collateral lending;
- NFT Bridges to other networks, starting from Ethereum.
III. Creators Program (1 phase)
The experience of NFT and GameFi Alliance members in the creation and promotion of NFT has shown that in order to attract new NFT and GameFi projects to the Everscale blockchain, a history of previously successfully sold collections is needed. However, at the moment, not all creators are ready to post their work on the Everscale blockchain due to its low popularity, adoption and small / inert community. This makes it almost impossible to launch successful collections that will attract public attention, which will significantly slow down the development of the network. Therefore, we propose, on behalf of the NFT and GameFi alliance, to launch the first part of the Creators Program, within which we will attract well-known creators with their own audience and traffic.
Our opinion is that in order to create a comfortable environment for creators, it is necessary to deliver a certain number of successfully sold collections.
To increase the popularity of NFTs on Everscale, we plan to support the release of about 10 NFT collections, approximately 10,000 items each, with an average value of about $100 per item. We need funds for marketing and promotion, which will include, among other things:
- purchasing the rights from EPIC creators (who has rights to content and audience) for tokenization in NFT (joint drops);
- ATOMIC Games - The most ambitious game project of 2021-2022 will make their First FUN AirDrop;
- Mail.ru Games - As part of the partnership, minimum 10k True NFTs of Warface game will be issued in the form of cards and a unique mechanic of minting game objects by the players themselves will be implemented.
- commitment to guaranteeing the sellout of NFT Tokens;
- distribution of tokens to influencers;
- airdrops;
This will serve as a base for potential creators to understand that there is an active, investing audience on the Everscale blockchain.
Steps to be taken to achieve the goal:
- 3-4 soldout collections in the primary market;
- 4-5 major sales ($300k+) in the secondary market;
- PR of soldout collections (in the primary and secondary market):
- influencers (telegram, twitter, discord, instagram, vk, fb);
- tier-1 media, for example, MintMe.com News, Cointelegraph, U.Today;
- NFT Calendars, for example, NFTCalendar, Coinrivet, NFT Calendar – Upcoming NFT Drops;
- listings - NFT scoring, DappRadar, Cryptoscores, Moby;
- affordable, standardized, easy access to minting (authorization, wallets, etc.);
- podcasts;
- forums;
- integration with relevant projects;
- own group NFT Everscale (discord, telegram, twitter), which will cover events on the market.;
- own aggregator that tracks the performance of Ever collections.
IV. NFT Farming Program (1 phase)
To attract the attention of investors who will invest in the Everscale blockchain, we plan to launch an NFT farming program for premium NFT collections minted on Everscale.

V. GameFi Guild (pilot program)
One of the goals of the Alliance is the development of a virtual economy in metaverses and blockchain games, including those that support the Play-to-Earn (P2E) model using NFT on the Everscale blockchain. This requires support for promising developments in this area. We propose to implement:
- GameFi Startup Fund - to support GameFi startups on pre-seed phase (max 100k EVER’s each);
- Pilot program of co-financing of such projects in the ratio of 1:1 to their own investments. We assume co-financing in terms of network commission compensation and other similar support, not direct financing by EVER’s. The goal of the pilot program is to attract in the first year 3-5 projects with own investments of at least $500,000 each.
VI. What is required
To reach all targets, 50М EVERs is needed, distributed the following way:
- Awareness/listing on most popular NFT scoring services (see Awareness block) – 3M EVERs.
- Marketing, directed to increase the number of users in all NFT and GameFi projects of Everscale blockchain – 13М EVERs.
- Creators Program according to III. Creators Program (1 phase) - 7M EVERs.
- NFT farming program (1 phase) - 12M EVERs.
- GameFi Guild (pilot program) - 15M EVERs.

GrandBazar.io
GrandBazar – is The Everscale-based platform that facilitates the creation, sale,
and purchase of ownership rights to digital works/items via non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
The platform works as a non-custodial service, meaning that users store NFTs in some
custom TTWs to which the platform does not have access. The buying and selling of NFT
are done through the platform’s smart contracts.
GrandBazar is using True NFT Standard:
- Information about its items owner is included in the initial data of the token, which makes it possible to find it when searching;
- The data is placed in a separate non-removable contract, thus forming something like a search index, which is recreated when the owner changes.
