PlayMining

Introduction to PlayMining

PlayMining is the leading NFT game platform in the global GameFi (Game-based Decentralized Finance) industry. Launched on May 26, 2020, as the world’s first Play-to-Earn token economy, it aims to protect the rights and benefits of creators worldwide while delivering innovative entertainment content. Since 2018, PlayMining has created NFTs from original artwork by over 100 creators, including Japan’s top manga artists, generating over 1 billion yen in earnings for creators between April 2020 and December 2021. With over 2.6 million users across 100+ countries, PlayMining blends gaming, blockchain tech, and a creator-focused ecosystem.

Core Mechanics

Blockchain and DEP Token

PlayMining operates on the PlayMining Chain, a sidechain of the Ethereum Network, ensuring secure NFT trading and creator rights protection. The platform’s native DEAPcoin (DEP), an ERC-20 token with a 30 billion maximum supply, powers transactions and rewards. DEP can be earned through gameplay, staked for additional benefits, or traded on exchanges like Gate.io—details are available on dea.sg.

Three Core Services

PlayMining is built on three services: PlayMining Games, PlayMining NFT, and PlayMining Vault, each enhancing the Play-to-Earn experience.

Gameplay Features

PlayMining Games

Starting with its flagship title JobTribes, a trading card battle game with over 50,000 monthly active users, PlayMining offers a diverse lineup. As of February 2022, three games were live, with plans for five by year-end. These browser-based HTML5 games integrate NFT data via API, making them accessible for third-party developers. Current titles include:

• JobTribes: A tactical card game where players summon "Job Lords" to battle opponents using a budget system.
• PlayMining Puzzle×JobTribes: A strategic Sudoku-like puzzle game where clearing stages earns DEP.
• Lucky Farmer: A coin pusher game with farm motifs, offering DEP through rankings and bonuses.

Upcoming releases include Cookin’ Burger! (Spring 2022), a multitasking cooking game, and Graffiti Racer (Summer 2022), a coloring-and-racing hybrid—see previews on PlayMining’s Whitepaper.

PlayMining NFT Marketplace

The PlayMining NFT marketplace focuses on in-game items using ERC-721 standard NFTs. It features over 100 original artworks from top Japanese pop culture creators, with profits exceeding 1 billion yen since April 2020. Players use DEP to purchase NFTs, enhancing gameplay and earning potential.

PlayMining Vault

PlayMining Vault rewards contributors to the ecosystem with DEP and NFTs. DEP staking is active, with future features allowing non-players to earn, fostering broader participation.

Binding Elements

PlayMining Token System

The economy plans multiple game tokens alongside DEP. DEP serves as the primary Play-to-Earn reward and NFT payment method, while individual Game Tokens—issued based on revenue and user goals—boost community engagement, as outlined in each game’s whitepaper.

PlayMining Verse

Set for a 2022 launch, PlayMining Verse is "a place that directly connects creators and users" via "Creator Nations." Fans purchase "Land NFTs" to become citizens, usable as Profile-Picture NFTs, unfolding in episodic phases like a fantasy tale: Creator Nations And Their Citizens, The Legendary Dragons, and more.
