Project Overview

PlayEmber is a rapidly growing blockchain-based mobile gaming platform that combines Web3 technology with casual gameplay to allow users to earn actual rewards for their in-game activities. Redefining how players engage with mobile games, PlayEmber is leading the play-to-earn revolution with over 120 million downloads and 5 million monthly active users. Their goal is to make blockchain-powered games fun, accessible, and profitable for global audiences.

The Challenges

PlayEmber is developed by a team with a wealth of experience in mobile game development. They were challenged with concerns in positioning themselves as a leader in the Web3 mobile games industry, striving to create engaging, inspiring, and rewarding user experiences. This is when PlayEmber teamed up with Solicy to work on such challenges as:

Blockchain onboarding is intimidating for new users

Many players are new to crypto. Web3 game development services must simplify onboarding to reduce drop-off.

High risk of fraud and security threats

Securing wallets, assets, and personal data is a major challenge in Web3 gaming and mobile app development.

Friction from gas fees and slow transactions

Web3 app development should minimize gas fees and improve transaction speed to enhance the gaming experience.

Difficulty retaining players long-term

Web3 mobile games need fresh content and real incentives to keep users engaged in a competitive market.

Complexities in delivering real-world rewards

Ensuring fairness, speed, and scalability in prize distribution is critical for any Web3 game development company.

Our solution

We created a team of mobile app developers and blockchain developers to provide Web3 game development services by enhancing, optimizing, and boosting the scalability and usability of the application. Our bundle of Web3 game development services helped PlayEmber optimize gameplay for functionality, security, and engagement, overcoming the above-mentioned challenges.

Faster onboarding procedures and wallet setup that lessen the difficulty for new users.
Simple procedures for earning and redeeming rewards that promote active engagement.
Contextual signals and integrated educational materials help users navigate the Web3 gaming and cryptocurrency environment.

Boosting Security and Efficiency

Security and smooth performance are critical for trust and retention in Web3 gaming:

Applying hybrid off-chain/on-chain technologies to accelerate transactions and drastically reduce gas fees.
Using multi-layered security and cutting-edge encryption to secure user funds, gaming assets, and sensitive data.
Ensuring adherence to changing laws pertaining to digital incentives, gaming, and cryptocurrency to preserve platform security.

Devising Engagement and Reward Systems

Delivering regular content updates and immersive mechanics to keep the experience dynamic and exciting.
Establishing clear reward programs that encourage continuous play and provide obvious, realistic benefit.
