One of Hoard’s three pillars is the provision of a global marketplace (Hoard Exchange) whereby users can freely buy, rent, sell or trade gaming assets with each other.

This marketplace will also provide the infrastructure to establish a new economy whereby users can financially benefit from the value that they create within games.

What will the Hoard Exchange look like?

Think eBay, but for virtual gaming assets. A large variety of items will be displayed and sorted, and users should be able to easily browse and search for content.

Further, whilst HRD will be the default currency on this platform, users must be able to easily use it regardless of the digital currency they hold. It must also be easy for visitors to make one-time purchases.

What is the OMG Network?

“OMG is the answer to a fundamental coordination problem amongst payment processors, gateways and financial institutions. By enabling decentralized exchange at high volume and low cost, OMG provides a next-generation value transfer service operating across currencies and asset types, and across national borders and corporate ledgers.” — OMG Network Official Guide

“Hoard is making it possible for people to trade virtual goods and services. Monetizing secondary markets by facilitating game developers with a trusted platform is truly game-changing.” — Jun Hasegawa, CEO of OmiseGO

Since early on, Hoard has been working with OMG to make sure that the Hoard marketplace can benefit from the full advantages of the OMG Network.

How will Hoard integrate with the OMG Network?

Hoard will be using OmiseGO’s open source, white label digital wallet Software Development Kit (SDK). This provides features such as integration with credit and debit cards for top-up and cash-out options, increased interoperability and currency-agnostic asset transfer.
