About Colizeum
Colizeum is a decentralized gaming app store run by a community that binds the web2 and web3 gaming experience, and enables the implementation of a Play-2-Earn economy into any game. Colizeum revolutionizes how developers benefit from their games while allowing players to earn simultaneously. This technology benefits mobile game developers who struggle to monetize and scale their games, as well as gamers who can earn rewards from playing and owning their gaming assets.
As Colizeum Co-Founder Davis Ziedins puts it:
“Our mission is to build a set of tools that lets any traditional game developer to broaden their game monetisation methods by implementing tokenized games modes and Play-2-Earn economy in their existing and future games and at the same time to unlocking new gaming markets.”
Both gamers and developers benefit from the adoption of the Colizeum platform. Let’s explore some of the advantages for both parties.
All of the above and more can be achieved with Colizeum’s SDK (Software Development Kit), a frictionless shortcut for game developers wishing to integrate tokenization and P2E without hiring blockchain developers.
$ZEUM
The platform’s token is called $ZEUM, trading at a discount compared to its launch, at a current market price of $0.0243, and a fully diluted market cap of $24,391,258.
ZEUM is also Colizeum’s governance token, meaning its holders have the opportunity to decide the platform’s future by voting on or proposing protocol changes.
Other features that $ZEUM holders benefit from are:
Staking;
Player card minting;

Ad placements in Colizeum’s marketplace.
