Influence NFT from DEA now on the PlayMining GameFi platform

Web3 entertainment company Digital Entertainment Asset (DEA) has announced the launch of ‘Impact NFT’ on the PlayMining GameFi platform. This new innovation from PlayMining allows players of Play-to-Earn (P2E) games to automatically donate a portion of their crypto earnings to a predetermined charity or person in need when an Impact NFT is used in-game.

“Although increased social awareness has contributed to dramatic growth in the donation industry, the market is still skewed towards older generations who have more disposable income to donate. We developed Impact NFTs to make donations more accessible to younger generations. Now they can help contribute to initiatives for social impact just by playing a game!” said DEA co-founder and co-CEO Kozo Yamada.

The first Impact NFT: Play Lucky Farmer to support a Lucky Farmer’s Community

The first Impact NFT available on the PlayMining NFT marketplace enables players of Lucky Farmer, a farm-themed P2E coin pusher game on the PlayMining platform, to help support the community around a banana farm in the Philippines. Players who purchase and use Impact NFT in the game will have 20 percent of their crypto earnings automatically sent to the owner of the banana farm.

Players will also receive a personal video letter of thanks from the farmer, who goes by the nickname “DJhau”. DJhau has expressed his commitment to use the proceeds not only to support his family, but also to create employment and support economic activities in the local community.

DJhau turned to banana farming to support his family of 11 (including nine siblings) after his previous business went bankrupt during the COVID pandemic. After an extended period where his family consistently struggled to make ends meet, he sought outside support to help him keep the farm running. DEA recognized DJhau’s passionate desire to support both his family and community and chose to dedicate PlayMining’s first Impact NFT to help DJhau achieve his goals.

GameFi-for-Good: Empowering people through games

DEA is actively involved in a variety of social good activities and was recently featured in an Investing.com article as a top Web3 innovator solving real-world problems. For example, PlayMining has organized a food drive to help a poor community in Indonesia and is collaborating on a game that encourages players to go out into the real world to help inspect aging public infrastructure in communities where local governments are understaffed.

There are five P2E NFT games on the PlayMining GameFi platform, Job Tribes, Cookin’ Burger, Dragon Ramen, Graffiti Racer and Lucky Farmer, all of which enable players to earn DEAPcoin ($DEP) tokens through gameplay. DEP can be traded on popular exchanges such as OKX, Gate.io, Uniswap, Bitmart and Bitrue, or spent on the PlayMining NFT and PlayMining NFT Premier marketplaces on cards and items that add new utility to the games on the platform.

‘Scholarship’ programs are available that help new players borrow NFTs to start playing, allowing them to earn DEP faster without any upfront investment. These scholarships have proven to be popular, especially in Southeast Asia (SEA), where some players are able to earn a full-time income just by playing games. Job Tribes in particular has helped more than 9,300 scholars earn over $4.7 million since December 2021.

To better support their community in SEA, an impoverished region where GameFi has exploded in popularity as a means of earning extra income, DEA has partnered with the area’s largest P2E gaming guild, YGG SEA. The partnership will see PlayMining’s entire game catalog onboard the yggsea.io gaming platform, allowing PlayMining to receive greater exposure and help more people in SEA.

DEA is also dedicated to supporting content creators. They have paid out over SG$9 million in royalties to both official and fan artists on the PlayMining NFT marketplace. Furthermore, third-party indie game studios that launch NFT games on PlayMining have access to the platform’s NFT marketplaces and develop metaverse initiatives that help the companies develop their own creative IPs.

“At DEA, we believe very strongly in embracing the power of Web3 technology to create opportunities for social impact. PlayMining has a community of over 2.7 million loyal supporters. We are fully dedicated to not only providing these fans with entertainment, but also empower them in as many ways as we can,” said DEA’s other co-founder and co-CEO Naohito Yoshida.
