DMarket is a global marketplace to turn every virtual item into a real commodity. This paper discusses how we combine
blockchain technologies and seven years of industry experience to bring this billion dollar market into the global economy. All the time people spend playing
on their mobile, PC, console or any other platform could be finally worth something. Essentially, DMarket is a new ecosystem where gamers, developers and
entrepreneurs can efficiently and securely evaluate and trade virtual items. Without risk of technical bugs or malicious parties. Thus actually building a new
economic cluster joining existing markets.

How DMarket Works



Game universes are not connected to each other in any way. There is no safe
and easy way to trade between them. We are building DMarket - a global marketplace
based on blockchain and smart contracts. It enables one-click sale, exchange or evaluation of every virtual item between all games on any platform. The blockchain
will ensure 100% security and safety. Smart contracts are the bridge on blockchain to connect all game worlds and universes without any third party needed. They
will log changes of ownership and automatically transfer payments. The DMarket Token is native to DMarket, it is the only currency used in the marketplace.



Over 2.2 billion people play games every day on different platforms and devices. The gaming industry reached $100 billion of revenue in 2016 and is booming. Only
around 4,000 pro gamers are making profits out of their time and skills spent in games. Just a couple of games with 6% auditory already turn over close to $3 billion
dollars trading in-game items. After seven years of experience in the gaming industry, we can actually see and feel the pain of the other 94% of gamers in the world.
No existing technology can connect the many different game universes and platforms. Players were resigned to their items becoming useless, despite spent time and effort.
Today with the booming gaming audience, VR and AR markets, this has to be resolved as soon as possible.

Website link removed , where can I have more information of this project?

thanks for the question) for more information about the project you can visit our website - https://dmarket.io/
Also you can check our whitepaper here - https://dmarket.io/#whitepaper

[voteformeg]

i must say . this looks interresting , the gaming industry will grow in the coming years and this could be the reason to invest but i'll wait for more info

[Serco]

I have seen your site.The concept of gaming industry looks interesting for gamers. i also found that the sale of tokens in 2 phases. The first phase distribution is from August 17 until August 20. the offered carbon is bigger in the first phase

[Rengganis]

I think the project plan is so good, should not there be a roadmap for this dev project, so we know the steps that will be passed through this project. Not only that, I hope all that behind the planning of this project, is active in looking for a good investor. Good luck dev. I will look for the progress

[nezto77]

The first phase only runs on August 17 until August 20th. Whether this is not too short of his time

[jeffthebaker]

This is a cool concept, but what makes it different from already existing currencies, that seek to do this and more? I'm looking at GameCredits and MobileGO. What makes this better than EnjinCoin? Which seeks to do the same thing but already has a platform of 27million to integrate with? Why choose this coin?

[D_market]

The first phase only runs on August 17 until August 20th. Whether this is not too short of his time

We made the first phase last for only 3 days because we already have the means and the background to create the cross-game marketplace. We have more than 7 years of experience in the gaming industry, with our trading platform being the second biggest virtual items marketplace, and we are going to utilize our unique insights and perspective to develop a revolutionary solution for the game market.
You can subscribe on our website, so you won't miss the first phase.

[kipoel]

So, is this an ANN of a project, still has a little confuse about the project though.
Will you make an ICO or some kind like that for the project?

Sure, we will be launching a tokensale on August 17

[D_market]

Which seeks to do the same thing but already has a platform of 27million to integrate with? Why choose this coin?

Thanks for pointing that out. The main difference is that we offer to trade or exchange items regardless of the game platform. You can gain tokens for trades and exchange them for real things.
MobileGO is a platform that is concentrated on the mobile industry. EnjinCoin is a service that offers a custom coin for game items and assets. GameCredits offers a payment gateway without any option of getting a real thing.
DMarket is the first decentralized marketplace, which connects different game platforms into one ecosystem and provides a way to trade in-game items with a one-click sale. Moreover, DMarket creates real value for virtual content, so the players would be able to exchange virtual items to real goods.
As for the audience, there are more than 2B gamers, who would be interested in the product. We are already working with game developers, who are interested in our API, and will soon announce several names.

Gotcha. Well, it's good to hear you've got talks taking place with game devs. I'll check back in to see who the devs are that are on board with this. Hopefully there are some already-successful games that will potentially be integrating this marketplace

While reading your whitepaper, I found some points that I would like to clarify, before investing into DM:

Tokens Distribution Phase #2
Start date: 1st of November 2017 (12:00 PM NYC Time, UTC-5)
End date: 15th of November 2017 (12:00 PM NYC Time, UTC-5)
DMarket tokens distribution cap (Phase #2): hard cap

From what I understand, Phase 2 of the ICO Sale in November will "define" DM-Coins Hardcap. Is this equal to Max Supply, so that there wont be any more DM-Coins minted after ICO sale has concluded that Hardcap? My main concern here is, that DM does not claim any Coins for themself, like most ICOs with Max Supply do - which makes me think that I might buy a currency that will be subject to inflation.

DMarket tokens are created through the use of the API’s endpoint and a token
factory, itself using a library submodule that can be optionally imported, thus
giving great flexibility to asset creators.

Theese tokens you are refering to, are ment to represent some sort of Ingame-Item within DMarket and not its currency (DM-Coin) - is that correct? In that case you would be using the term "DMarket Token" with two spereate meanings withing your whitepaper and I would suggest to change that. Otherwise it may seem, like DM-Coin will be highly inflationary - on the other side, if thats the case, I'm sure investors are eager to know about that.

Thank you in advance.
