Blockchain Gaming Guilds: Play It Forward DAO (PIF DAO)

0 Comment

Gaming guilds have an integral role in the blockchain gaming ecosystem. They work as community drivers, on-boarders, educators and more.

In the realm of GameFi, where players have unprecedented levels of ownership and earning opportunities, it’s a bit of a minefield. The dynamics of each individual project are vastly different, not to mention the ‘tokenmix’ and how each individual community token works.

Then, there are financial barriers to entry. Most play-to-earn (P2E) projects require you to pay if you want to play. Games that are free-to-play may have limited scalability unless you’re willing to fork out and invest in some in-game assets (NFTs).

Therefore, gaming guilds are fundamental to the blockchain gaming world, as they solve all these obstacles and go above and beyond with their respective communities.

Gaming Guilds are gamers, first and foremost. The passion lies in the love of gaming, but an important development in the earning space.

Gaming guilds in the P2E space recognize that players can now earn rewards like never before for their dedication to a game and its community.

It remains a monumental paradigm shift in the world of gaming, and through the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, P2E games provided a source of income for players in underdeveloped countries, who were on the financial bread line. The potential of this place cannot be underestimated.

As for Play It Forward DAO, they secured a $6 million seed funding round in early 2022, co-led by Signum Capital, Kyber Ventures, and UOB Venture Management.

With that financial support, the guild developed their own Railing University (RU), which has more than 3,000 members around the Philippines and Indonesia.

A serious gaming guild

PIF DAO started as a humble P2E gaming guild, led by CEO Cholo Maputol and his high school friends. The guild was designed to help onboard disadvantaged players into the Axis Infinity ecosystem. Driven by the principle of “make the game more productive”, they continued to grow exponentially.

With some big investments, they have since designed a GameFi ecosystem, which fosters multiple P2E projects and gaming guilds.

Their vision is to be “the true gateway for guilds to build and scale their communities and blossom gamify talent”.

Railing University (RU) – a blockchain gaming institution

Those applying to RU – scholar applicants – can benefit in potentially life-changing ways. They will be given the resources they need to access and participate in any game of their choice within the PIF DAO ecosystem. However, RU’s approach does not end with financial aid.

First and foremost, as a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), scholars will have a voice in the community and be given a lot of support both personally and professionally. There are many testimonials that I have seen, from rabbinic scholars, that support this.

Thereafter, the scholars are recruited purely on the basis of their potential and passion. That doesn’t mean you have to be an expert player to enter the RU ecosystem.

RU’s team leaders are willing to work with scholars and develop them as needed, as long as they are willing to contribute to the community and help grow the ecosystem.

Scholars can earn income by contributing in a few different ways:

  1. Becoming a professional P2E player and entering tournaments
  2. Research Analyst at Rabi University
  3. Being a social media streamer on channels like Tik Tok

What projects does PIF DAO invest in?

Since day one of the Axi Infinity Guild, PIF DAO has built an impressive array of blockchain gaming partners, spanning 8 categories.

Prospective scholars will find plenty of variety, such as RPG games, puzzles, shooters, and simulations and sports. Besides Axie, some of the games you can play are: MetaGear, Mecha Morphing, Pegaxy, Blockchain Monster Hunt, and Cyball.

Projects seeking to partner with the PIF DAO must provide test accounts so that the DAO’s game researchers can analyze its gameplay and economics, including the game’s tokenmix, to assess its stability and utility.

Finally, they will look to the game’s community, which will determine whether there is consistent, organic demand. During this current market, PIF DAO CEO Cholo Maputol admitted that earnings are now volatile. However, he believes that fun and community are key to P2E projects surviving and ‘sticking’.

He said: “To drive players and keep them coming back, games need to be fun. Players should enjoy the game and the community, whether they earn a dollar or fifty for playing.’

“Although less attention is currently being paid to the NFT gaming space, NFT games can still come out on top as long as developers have a “fun-first, profit-second” mentality in game creation.”

The PIF community token is $PIF

As part of any thriving blockchain gaming ecosystem, there must be a native currency, and PIF DAO has launched their $PIF community ERC-20 token.

According to their whitepaper, the token will accumulate over time through ‘NFT Yield Generation’, ‘Treasury Investment Growth’ and ‘Growth Platform Revenue’.

PIF DAO promises a strong utility for their native token, including the following:

  1. Staking programs and DAO facilities
  2. Platform Services and Tools
  3. PIF treasury as play-to-earn indicator
  4. DAO governance
  5. Distribution of PIF

How to Apply for PIF DAO Scholarship

If you are passionate about gaming and interested in pursuing a potential career in the blockchain gaming space, here is how to apply for the Railing University Scholarship:

  1. Join the Railing University Discord server
  2. Go to candidate-role-picker and select the game you want to apply for
  3. If you are selected, an administrator will contact you via a private thread. The interview will be conducted through chat.
  4. Once accepted as a scholar, you will be given basic resources to play the blockchain game of your choice.

In short…

PIF DAO provides a unique combination of two distinct services in their ecosystem, ‘P2E Board’ and ‘PIF Guild’.

Through the P2E board, they have a management infrastructure, allowing guilds and players to enjoy a ‘plug and play’ experience unique to Web3 and blockchain gaming.

With the support provided, guilds and players can begin building their own profiles, gaining valuable experience, knowledge and insight for their P2E journey along the way.

With PIF Guild, a rich ecosystem with more than 3,000 scholars and 40,000 community members awaits all passionate gamers. With the financial backing they have, this guild will only continue to grow and join more and more players in the world of blockchain gaming.

PIF DAO strikes me as a very solid framework when you talk about a bridge to the world of Web3 and blockchain gaming. With a gaming-focused ethos and a growing infrastructure of support, they represent everything positive about Web3 right now.

You can find CEO Cholo Maputl as a panelist at Play2Earn Expo in Bangkok on August 11th, talking about ‘The Role of Guilds in the P2E Ecosystem’.
