Colizeum’s Value Proposition

Both gamers and developers benefit from the adoption of the Colizeum platform. Let’s explore some of the advantages for both parties.

Colizeum benefits for gamers and game developers

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;
  • In-game NFT minting;
  • Participation in game tournaments;
  • Ad placements in Colizeum’s marketplace.

Future Roadmap

In terms of future steps for the platform, Colizeum is en route to bring the proposed marketplace of digital gaming assets to life, as well as all the functionalities needed to tokenize game objects into tradable NFTs.

colizeum roadmap

The following milestones are:

  • Launch SDK Beta by June 30th, 2022
  • Drop Genesis NFT by Q2-Q3 of 2022
  • Launch Colizeum Marketplace by Q2-Q3 of 2022

The expert team, unique value proposition, market need, and vision for the future are some of the factors that attracted us to Colizeum and made us believe in the platform’s and team’s future potential.

We are glad to have partnered and invested in Colizeum, supporting their growth journey.
