Description and Challenges
In September 2023, our team had the opportunity to work in the gaming industry when we were approached by a new client, with an already existing web app. They had a clear request: to create a platform that would unite people from various industries, including gamers, artists, and professionals.
The goal was to create an MVP that would allow users to:
- Create accounts
- Sync their achievements with well-known gaming platforms
- Showcase their achievements
In addition, the client planned for the platform to evolve into an ecosystem with its currency, a content feed, and more features. Our challenge was to build a scalable, secure, and highly engaging platform that combined competitive gaming with personal and professional growth. Moreover, we needed to integrate blockchain technology for creating and managing digital trophies.
Key Features Implemented in MVP
Throughout our collaboration, the Corpsoft Solutions team implemented several key features to make the platform not only functional but also engaging for the target audience. Below is a summary of the features we implemented and their purpose:
- API Integrations – Seamless integration with platforms like Discord, GitHub, and Steam to sync user achievements.
- Token System – A multi-token structure (URU, Runes) that validates user achievements and rewards participation.
- Gamified Quests and Tournaments – Users can participate in interactive quests and contests, adding a competitive layer to the platform.
- Content Creation Feed – A social feed that allows users to share their achievements and memories within the platform’s community.
- Trophy Room and Customizable Profiles – Each user has a public profile and digital trophy room, which can be shared with others.
- NFT Integration – Users can forge their achievements into NFTs, creating a verifiable and unique way to showcase their skills.
- Admin Panel – A comprehensive system for managing users, trophies, and currencies for administrators.
- Blockchain-Based Validation – Secure, blockchain-based validation for achievements and rewards.
Value of Creating the Web App
For us, creating MVP wasn’t just about developing a gaming app. It was about building a dynamic ecosystem that the client valued highly — allowing users to grow personally and professionally through the validation and recognition of their achievements.
By offering users the ability to convert significant accomplishments into NFTs, bridges the gap between gaming and emerging blockchain technologies. This new platform not only increases user engagement but also adds value by verifying their achievements in an increasingly digital world.
We shared the client’s vision of developing a gamified community that fosters competition and rewards, creating a unique hub for people from various industries.
Impact on the Business
Since the platform’s launch, MVP has gained significant traction among users thanks to the seamless syncing of achievements across various gaming platforms. The token system, combined with gamified elements like quests and tournaments, has encouraged active participation and user retention. Additionally, the introduction of NFTs has provided users with a way to showcase and monetize their achievements.
The intuitive admin panel and automated processes have reduced the platform’s operational burden, allowing the client team to focus on future growth. Overall, MVP has become a digital space for users to showcase their skills, grow their brand, and connect with like-minded individuals.
