The next time a skeptic questions the momentum of the blockchain gaming market, kindly inform them that the industry had attracted over 1.5 million users by the end of 2021, with daily trade volume from gaming dApps climbing as high as half a billion dollars. Then cackle with satisfaction. The breathless rush by gamers, developers and investors into the gamefi (gaming finance) space was triggered by the potential for profit via play-to-earn (P2E) mechanics, but also by the opportunities for rich gameplay thanks to the deployment of blockchain and NFTs (non-fungible tokens). To date, most blockchain games have offered up simple 2D worlds based around turn-based mechanics, focusing on earning potential rather than fast-paced gameplay. But thankfully, that is starting to change… Epic War, Entrancing Gameplay Epic War is the first blockchain-based FPS (first-person shooter) that provides Triple-A graphics and gameplay in delivery of its virtual reality (VR), free-play-to-earn (F2P2E) metaverse. Interestingly, the fully 3D blockchain shooter is just one part of the envisaged Epic War universe, which will expand to include a series of comic books and films. The gaming narrative sees players take part in battle royales where they must contend with other gamers as well as hostile NPC creatures on a treacherous foreign planet. Other notable elements include team battles featuring up to 16 players (8v8) in a single session. Boss battles test players’ abilities even further, and come in three different difficulty levels: normal, hard, and super hardcore. The native token of Epic War ($EWAR) is used to create new in-game characters, weapons, gears, battle maps and purchase NFT items. It can also be used for governance purposes, giving holders decision-making privileges on the future of the project. EWAR tokens are awarded to players and teams who triumph in battles, and these tokens can subsequently be used to improve the attributes of player-characters or sold to the highest bidder on exchanges. Both winning and losing players will have the ability to earn unique NFTs after each session, with tokens representing in-game items like weapons, gears and maps. Such artefacts can be sold, traded or rented to other players for profit, and they are also dispensed upon the completion of challenging in-game quests. Epic War’s game engine was built from the ground up using C++ code, and leverages the acclaimed Unity Engine as the technical foundation of its gameworld. The Unity Engine is employed by many mainstream, Triple-A game publishers, and has been used in such releases as Escape From Tarkov, Cuphead, Wasteland 3, Subnautica, and many more. Future Milestones The team behind Epic War hails from Vietnam, where they have years of collective experience in game design, blockchain development and full-stack coding. They also partner with Japanese studios to develop Open World gameplay and VR metaverse phase. By mid Q2 2022, the team aims to release a beta version of the PvE and PvP game modes, alongside its DAO governance system, where players will be able to have a say in future development decisions. The IGO (initial game offering) for the native EWAR token will also take place before the end of Q2. Ongoing roadmap milestones portend a full game release and multi-chain integration by the end of Q3. Multiple blockchain ecosystems will play host to Epic War when it is complete, including Binance Smart Chain, Solana, Polygon, and NEAR, in an effort to give players the maximum number of benefits offered up by various networks (speed, low fees, access to native stablecoins, etc). Gamers can also look forward to Epic War’s Beta Test launch coming this March. The long-term goals of Epic War include integrating VR support and building out an expansive metaverse world where players can interact with the game in a virtual 3D space. Epic War builds on the promise of gamefi by extending blockchain gaming to the level mainstream gamers expect, while integrating crypto and NFT rewards for the benefit of successful players.

The Tattoo Protocol team is pleased to announce the launch of the world's first multi-chain insured launchpad. The team designed their launchpad with new, and seasoned investors in mind. A safe space to create an income without the worry of investing in a phantom project.

As crypto becomes more desirable and valuable, hopeful investors have also become targets for con artists and scammers. The crypto sphere is booming with entrepreneurs and idealists. Those who come up with solutions to problems we may face. 

Although there is plenty of good within this space, there are always those who manipulate people who don't know any better. Defrauding people of their hard-earned money, these scammers move from project to project, gas-lighting investors into trusting them.

Creating a roadmap to success and gaining the trust of investors, scammers will abruptly leave the project behind and take off with the investment. Left with empty promises, and pockets, investors are in dire need of a safe and secure platform to continue funding legitimate projects and creating a passive, profitable income for themselves and their families.

Tattoo Protocol has come up with a solution for this ever-growing, tiresome problem, the introduction of Pre-sale Investment Insurance, leading innovation in the crypto sphere. Tattoo Protocol is the first to create a secure space for investors and legitimate businesses to come together to build something great again.

While NFT mint and GO scams are one of the most prominent schemes to affect the blockchain, Tattoo Protocol has hindered those who wish to run off with investors' money. Pre-sale Investment Insurance holds the token launchers accountable for their actions and builds trust with potential investors.

Projects that choose to be listed on the Tattoo Protocol launchpad, will only be able to withdraw a maximum of 30% of mint proceeds while the remaining investments are safely locked within the Tattoo Inu token.

After completion of a minimum of 3 road-map obligations, to be determined by the Tattoo Protocol team, the remaining 70% of the balance can then be withdrawn. However, if the potential project does not complete the obligations within the allotted time of 90 days, Tattoo Protocol will refund investors their initial investment*.

Tattoo Protocols' main objective is to limit scammers' capabilities as much as possible while building and maintaining trust between investors and token creators. Not only has Tattoo Protocol built a launchpad that holds token creators accountable for their actions, they've exceeded standards by also offering NFT metaverse gaming with incentives and rewards.

The Tattoo Protocol team provides reliable service to both seasoned and inexperienced investors. A weekly podcast will be held to discuss important topics such as upcoming blockchain projects, potential scams, confirmed fraudsters and their associates, as well as much more! It should be noted that the Tattoo Inu podcast will not advertise or endorse any blockchain projects. It is for informational purposes only.

Doing your own research is imperative when it comes to investing within the crypto sphere. Tattoo Protocol has taken the initiative to create a safe space for investors to create a passive income and token creators to build trust. One less thing that potential investors need to worry about.
