SINGAPORE, Jan. 5, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Digital entertainment resource (DEA), a Singapore-based global Web3 entertainment company and operator of PlayMining The GameFi platform has announced the launch of its DEP buyback program.
The company will continuously buy back its own DEAPcoin ($DEP) crypto token to sustainably increase the token’s value. DEA will use up to 40 percent of its own sales – but not including DEP sales from its gaming platform PlayMining – to fund the buyback.
“Through the DEP buyback program, we aim to increase the value of DEP tokens in the medium to long term,” said the DEA co-founder and co-CEO. Naohito Yoshida. “This will help us stabilize the PlayMining ecosystem and return profits to DEP holders.”
The program will start in January 2023, with specific timing and buyback amounts to be determined based on market trends and the state of the PlayMining economy. Details will be published via whitepaper at a later date.
Extend the PlayMining GameFi platform
The current PlayMining GameFi catalog contains a number of casual Play and Earn (P&E) NFT games, including Job logs, Make burgers, Menu Dragon Ramen, Graffiti Racer and Lucky farmer. Several games are scheduled to be launched this year, and a metaverse initiative is also in the works.
Players can earn DEP by playing these games, which can be used in many ways: DEP can be sold back to PlayMining, traded on popular exchanges, or used to buy NFTs on the PlayMining NFT Marketplace. DEP has the distinction of being the first P&E token officially approved by Japan’s Financial Service Agency.
The NFT Marketplace hosts artwork from popular Japanese anime and video game creators as well as NFTs that can be used in all the Web3 games on the PlayMining platform. In particular, DEA pays royalties to both official and fan art creators on their NFT marketplace, with SG$9 million in royalties paid out over the past two years.
DEA’s mission is to create a fair distribution platform for creators. In addition to creating its own Web3 games, DEA collaborates with third-party game studios to launch NFT games on the PlayMining platform. This gives small game developers a significant advantage: by integrating DEP into their games, it becomes possible to sell NFTs directly on the PlayMining NFT marketplace and later develop metaverse projects related to their game, thus opening up new monetization strategies for their intellectual property (IP).
“It can be notoriously difficult for small game studios to monetize their IPs,” said DEA’s other co-founder and co-CEO Kozo Yamada. “The biggest distributors like Nintendo and Apple take a big cut from each sale, but our fees are much more reasonable. Through the strengthening of Web3 technology, we aim to build a GameFi library that rivals Nintendo!”
DEA recently celebrated a number of major successes in late 2022, having secured a US$10 million investment from LDA Capital and a minority investment from Rakuten Capital. They also signed strategic Web3 partnerships with Rakuten Group and YGG SEA, and entered into a business alliance with TV Tokyo. All these winnings will help PlayMining expand their GameFi platform.
