DenCity (DNX) ICO Review – ICO Token News

Dencity Overview

Dencity offers a virtual platform where people can become who they always wanted to be. The blockchain-enabled platform lets users define their lifestyle and rules. Additionally, one can sell goods and services within the ecosystem and earn DNX tokens.  Similar to ABT, CRYCASH, PocketInns, Quasar, Dencity is also Ethereum-based token which is  ERC20 compliant and may be used both in real and virtual worlds. Moreover, the tokens will have value beyond the virtual world of the Dencity metaverse. The citizens of the metaverse will be able to transact and transfer assets among themselves using DNX tokens. The Ethereum blockchain technology distributes the power of decision making from a few people to all the stakeholders of the ecosystem.

Problems of the simulated world

In the simulated world, there is no real user incentivization and tokens used in the virtual world do not mean anything outside the gaming infrastructure. Assets such as coins, armor, and gaming equipment earned in the game have no value outside the gaming world. Moreover, most of the users don’t pay to play. If these could be monetized through incentives, the industry could earn greater profit.

Moreover, the users have zero control over the governance. The industry is basically covered with secrecy. Another problem plaguing the industry is that the centrally managed companies do not take into consideration the impact of their important decisions on the gamers.

Social capital

Games with social interaction features constantly outperform the ones without these features. However, by integrating these social features, the game developers also expose us to the tracking of our gaming behavior. Such data in the wrong hands can be used for cyber bullying of innocent people. To overcome this issue, Dencity encrypts all the data and gives access only to the user. One can make friends and build communities. The platform also provides the capacity for multiple uses including community meet ups, business meetings, and virtual dating.

Decentralization of governance

Blockchain is the top enabler of decentralized governance. In the gaming world, it’s even more important as the opinions of the players are taken into account during decision making. To facilitate the decentralization of the governance, the platform developers have introduced the CASTX protocol where each denizen (citizens of Dencity) is allotted the same number of CST tokens as there are DNX tokens with the user. The CST tokens are auto credited in an election event and unused ones are automatically destroyed after the event.

Overcoming the problems: benefits and key features

Only a small fraction of gamers make purchases in the gaming world. This is because the players do not perceive any real value addition from these purchases. Dencity overcomes this problem by facilitating an environment in which people will pay to play. it facilitates the economic operations through the DNX  ICO token which is the primary medium of exchange in the ecosystem and will have a similar value outside of the ecosystem. The platform developers envision that this revolutionary game incentive will attract the masses to the platform. Earnings on the Dencity platform will translate directly into earnings in the real world, as the meta environment replicates the actual environment.

Summary

Dencity developers have developed a 3-layer architecture to run on the platform. Denizens or the citizens of Dencity will be expected to abide by a certain set of principles. There is a focus on inter dependence and self-reliance. Through interdependence, the denizens can earn four types of rewards which include emotional, social, instrumental, and opportunity awards. Moreover, each denizen is required to take care of the basic needs of food, water, clothing, and shelter of their own. For survival, the denizen will be expected to build interpersonal relationship with fellow denizens and have financial independence for which they should have an occupation that generates income.
