Blockchain integration
For the Age of Mars, the integration of blockchain technology has been meticulously planned to ensure that the game not only embraces the advantages of distributed ledger technology but also addresses the inherent challenges of scalability, interoperability, and user experience. The game operates on a Play & Earn model, emphasizing the use of basic web3 functionalities to tokenize the in-game economy (tokenomics) and mechanics, thereby providing a robust and immersive gaming experience.
Reasons for Blockchain Choice
The decision to incorporate blockchain technology into Age of Mars was driven by several key factors:
Asset Ownership: Through the use of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), players can have true ownership of in-game assets, allowing for trade, transfer, and storage of these items securely on the blockchain.
Proven Scarcity: Blockchain technology enables the game to establish and verify the rarity of in-game assets, adding value and uniqueness to the players' experience.
Interoperability: The multi-chain approach allows for seamless interaction with more than one blockchain network, enhancing the game's accessibility and flexibility.
Implementation Details
Tokenization
Economy Tokenization: The main currency of the ecosystem, MMT, is issued as a fungible token, utilized for governance and influencing the game's progression.
Asset Tokenization: In-game items are tokenized as NFTs, facilitating ownership, trade, and transfer mechanisms within the game's universe.
Smart Contracts
Smart contracts play a crucial role in the Age of Mars ecosystem by automating transactions, ensuring the integrity of in-game operations, and facilitating interactions between different blockchain networks. These contracts are essential for implementing the game's tokenomics, managing NFT assets, and processing cryptocurrency payments through internal crypto-processing services, including payments in the native project token.
Blockchain Networks Integration
The Age of Mars project is inherently designed to interact with multiple blockchain networks, with a particular focus on EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) compatible networks due to their widespread adoption, liquidity, technical infrastructure, and ease of integration. However, the project also plans to extend its compatibility to EVM non-compatible networks to embrace a broader range of blockchain technologies and NFT functionalities.
EVM Compatible Networks
Given the significant advantages, including lower transaction costs, game-oriented positioning, and potential grant support for integration, the project initially emphasizes EVM-compatible networks. This approach allows for rigorous testing and refinement before expanding to other networks.

Conclusion
The Age of Mars project's blockchain integration represents a significant step forward in the evolution of gaming. By leveraging blockchain technology, the project not only enhances the gaming experience through real asset ownership, scarcity, and interoperability but also sets a new standard for future gamefi ecosystems. Through strategic partnerships with leading blockchain networks and a focus on scalable, user-friendly solutions, Age of Mars is poised to redefine the boundaries of Play & Earn gaming.
