DMarket: first marketplace that allows gamers to trade virtual items between all game universes

The first cross-game marketplace DMarket gives each gamer the opportunity to evaluate their time, skills, and luck. Gamers will be able to buy and sell their in-game items in one click, as well as to exchange and evaluate all their possible gaming assets, items, skins, designs, or mods.

How the platform works

Dmarket provides game developers its API that allows to connect any game to the marketplace. DMarket API will be supported by any popular gaming engine (Unreal Engine, Cryengine, Unity 3D, etc.). It will be available for any games despite the game’s release date (even for the 1990s games). All information, such as transaction history, owner information, or cost, will be stored on the blockchain. It will enable one-click sale, exchange or evaluation of every virtual item between all games on any platform. Every DMarket user will have a wallet on a permanent basis. The wallet will store all data in a decentralized database and interact with players using smart contracts.

A universal currency for the calculations within the system will be a Dmarket token. It will be the only currency used in the marketplace.

The currencies accepted are ETH and BTC. The minimum target to be attracted to the ICO for the first round is 5 million DMarket tokens, at the token exchange rate of 1 ETH = 1000 DMarket tokens with a bonus of +10%, and the funding cap is 50,000,000 DMarket tokens. The maximum amount planned is 50 million tokens. After the token sale is closed, 10% of the total tokens amount sold are issued and reserved for DMarket’s core activities.

If the minimum amount is not reached during the ICO, the money will be returned back to investors. All unsold tokens will be destroyed. No more sales outside of the two tokensale rounds are planned.

Phase #1 will start on August 17, 2017 and is expected to end on August 20, 2017 or when the funding cap is reached.
