XBorg is developing at the confluence GameFi and SocialFi. The following section will outline the key challenges that face its roadmap, how the team is overcoming them, and what makes XBorg unique in the landscape.
Network
XBorg's growth and expansion are fueled by a network of influential advisors and investors in the gaming and esports industry. XBorg Ventures builds on this network by connecting the team with the leading blockchains and game developers, allowing them to create innovative and exciting new products.
Community
The XBorg community comprises over 10,000 active players, builders, and GameFi investors. The council and governance system includes some of the brightest minds in Web3, ensuring that XBorg is always on the cutting edge of gaming technology.
Esports & Legitimacy
As the leading Web3 esports organization, XBorg is sponsored by Brave Software and ranked number one across the most competitive Web3 esports titles. XBorg is responsible for creating the Xtreme Championship Series (XCS), the first and largest Web3 esports league ever.
SwissBorg
XBorg is also assisted by SwissBorg, a startup that has successfully scaled to 700,000 users. With close contact with C-level executives, SwissBorg assists the roadmap, product execution, and networking. XBorg owes much of its success to the support and guidance of SwissBorg.
From a technological perspective, the implementation of a credential network within the realm of gaming is a truly distinctive innovation. However, it is similar to the Lens protocol, which uses social data to construct a network. Our platform, on the other hand, harnesses gaming data to establish a gaming-specific data network. While other endeavors, such as Galxe, have focused on constructing a credential network, they do not have the same dedicated focus on gaming.
Our technological advancements can be attributed to our adept integration of gaming data through various distribution platforms (including but not limited to Steam, FaceIt, and Riot Games) and the creation of custom API integrations with games. To further differentiate our platform, we have developed proprietary applications on top of the network, such as the fan engagement app, decentralized gaming communities, and the soulbound launchpad, contributing to our unique credential network.
Adopting a commercial perspective, our primary objective is seamlessly integrating our expansive credential network with leading esports teams. Through our illustrious collaborations with major actors in the esports industry, such as TeamBDS, we have exhibited our singular ability to forge fruitful partnerships. Furthermore, XBorg is reinforced by the unwavering support of SwissBorg, which fortifies our standing and elevates our credibility within the industry.
In addition, the community of XBorg can be likened to a guild, where our distinctive edge lies in our unparalleled level of competitiveness. XBorg reigns supreme as the foremost Web3 gaming community in terms of competitiveness, distinguishing us from other guilds such as Polemos, IndieGG, YGG, and the like.
XBorg is supported by an avid community of gamers, which allows us to build products for our user base and seek rapid feedback, which eases product development.
We also intend to operate in a decentralized manner which will ensure the utmost alignment between XBG holders and the protocol. XBorg's success and growth are heavily influenced by its community of gamers. We recognize the importance of building products that cater to the needs and interests of our users. By leveraging our community, we are able to rapidly receive feedback and iterate on our products, resulting in more meaningful experiences for our users.
Furthermore, we believe that operating in a decentralized manner will bring a higher level of alignment between the XBG token holders and the protocol. This alignment will better understand the protocol's long-term vision, goals, and priorities. It also means that the token holders will make the governance decisions with a vested interest in the protocol's success. Ultimately, this will lead to a more engaged and empowered community willing to participate in the decision-making process and drive the future direction of XBorg.
In Web3, we don't perceive competitors but collaborators, as we believe in composable and Interoperable ecosystems. In the Web3 landscape, the concept of competition is replaced by collaboration, rooted in a fundamental belief in the power of composable and interoperable ecosystems. We have several ecosystems working on similar primitives, some of which are already closely working with XBorg.
Data & Social
is a composable data graph allowing users to own and monetize their data. XBorg tackles a similar primitive but in the realm of gaming data. Close collaboration with Lens is being discussed.
is building a credential network based on on-chain and off-chain credentials.
is a questing system for engagement and communities.
GameFi infrastructure
is the creator of Fan Tokens and a Web3 infrastructure for sports and entertainment.
is a GameFi community and protocol allowing players to leverage their NFTs.
is an ecosystem DAO-building tool for on-chain games.
The market potential of gaming, esports, and digital identities is vast and rapidly expanding. The gaming industry alone is projected to reach a global value of $295 billion by 2026, driven by the growing popularity of mobile gaming, eSports, and the adoption of virtual and augmented reality technologies.
Esports, or competitive video gaming, is also experiencing explosive growth, with revenues expected to reach $1.1 billion in 2021, and the global esports audience projected to exceed 580 million by 2023. This market is expected to grow as more companies and brands invest in esports and gaming sponsorships.
Digital identities are also becoming increasingly important in the gaming and esports industry. With the rise of blockchain technology and non-fungible tokens (NFTs), players can now own and trade unique in-game assets, creating new opportunities for revenue and investment. Additionally, digital identities are being used to verify player identities and ensure fair play in competitive gaming, as well as to personalize gaming experiences and provide secure access to user accounts.
Overall, the market potential of gaming, esports, and digital identities is vast and diverse, and is expected to continue to grow and evolve as technology and consumer preferences change.
