SociaFi Platform for NFT Game: Forge
Traditional web3 gaming platforms may not be unfamiliar to everyone, but today I will introduce a very special GameFi social network platform that combines SocialFi and GameFi, promising an extremely exciting experience for players. The project I want to talk about here is the Forge platform.
So why is this platform so special? Let's explore it together through this article.
What is Forge?
Forge is a Web3 gaming platform that can be seen as a social media platform dedicated to game projects in the blockchain space, or in other words, Forge is a project that combines SocialFi and GameFi.
The platform allows players to integrate achievements and activities across multiple web3 games into a single unique profile so that players can conveniently check and manage their accounts.
This can be considered an upgrade for game projects in the web3 space and metaverse.
Key Features of the Project
The Forge platform goes beyond supporting web3 games by integrating Web2 games, allowing players to own a single account but play a wide variety of games within the same ecosystem.
For example, if you own an account on platforms like Steam, Xbox, or PlayStation, you can play almost all games on those platforms.
Forge also supports creating a community of web3 gamers by establishing an ecosystem where gamers can interact and play various games together.
Additionally, players can receive rewards ranging from in-game rewards to weekly physical rewards (gaming computers) by participating in and contributing to tasks on the platform.
Especially, you can easily log into Forge using your Google account directly on your device or by registering with your existing Gmail.
Platform Operation
Forge allows users to create a unique profile by connecting multiple game accounts and social networks. This profile serves as the user's personal icon in the gaming world.
Furthermore, Forge provides tasks for users, which they can complete to accumulate experience points (XP). Leveling up unlocks various rewards, including in-game outfits, character or item unlocks, cryptocurrencies, and early access to game beta versions.
Users can also participate in partnered games with the Forge platform, completing tasks set by the game to receive rewards such as NFTs and other valuable items.
