VeriArti — DApps, API, Games, Collectibles, ‘IGOs’ and you.

VRA is more than a platform, it’s a versatile NFT gateway for all.

Since VeriArti was conceived, we had ambitions of it empowering digital artists, allowing their duplicated and wide-spread usage across the internet to be tokenised into just one token that could represent their official version. That ambition is slowly turning into reality as we have artists lined up ready to use our platform, and our first NFTs and auctions are days away.

However, over the months, it became obvious that ignoring the collectible, dApp and gaming market was too much of a missed opportunity. Thus, we have been developing more than just a platform, but also a plug-in gateway that allows anyone, and we do mean anyone, to setup a game, collectible pack, dApp or run what we call an IGO (Initial Game Offering).

How is this possible?

We have acquired two game companies already wanting to use VRA as their foundation for their DApps: The Way of The Tiger — A ninja themed card-collectible game, and Block Babies — A giant collectible set of cute, differently attributed limited edition babies that can be traded.

Both of these applications chose VeriArti due to two main reason: MPP (Multi-Party Protocol) and VRA harassment (OK, not so much). The main selling point was that they realised they didn’t have to work out gas fees or go through several steps, or do anything really that technical in order to create their tokens/cards. Due to VeChain’s unique fee delegation feature, it allows us to sponsor the creations of their tokens while they pay a small fee in fiat for each token and voila, their NFT is now ready to be used in their game and of course they retain the private keys.

All they have to do is simply fill out a form, insert the properties of their collectibles and they own the keys to the NFT. And from there, all trading can be done using VeriArti. So far so good. However, the question then arose on how they could use their cards in their game or tokens in their DApp? Enter the VRA API.

VRA API

There’s no point having all these cards and tokens for an external dApp if they can’t use them in their game or application. Thus, we’ve been working on an API that will simply allow these DApps and games to pull out their tokens from the VeChain Thor blockchain and use them as they wish. Simple functions built into a VRA API will allow dApps to call any element of a token: it’s name, owner, image, game attributes and so on, in order to utilise them in their own framework.

Furthermore, our API will enable any DApp to mint tokens through VRA from their own environment. Thus, they won’t need to keep going to VeriArti in order to create new cards, collectibles or any other NFTs, they simply call our API functions and it’s done for them.

This versatility allows anyone with a creative idea that involves NFTs to implement a product without needing to know the nuts and bolts behind it, and yet be able to use the VeChain Thor blockchain and VeriArti.

Initial Game Offerings (IGOs)

This is something unique to VeriArti. Some games may have good teams, ideas and visions, but not the funds to start. IGOs are a way to raise those funds but by providing users with products at the same time. Whereas ICOs are usually dependent on trust by users that their tokens will be used and appreciate through the project’s adoption, IGOs allow companies to fund their operations by offering a set of starter NFTs or cards.

An example would be a game that has a strong team, idea and community base but they need funds to develop it to their needs. Thus, we would help guide them through the process of minting a first round of NFTs that can be used in their game or DApp and sell them to their interested community. They now have a community equipped with their product and funds to continue development.

The Way of the Tiger is a perfect example. They are a strong team with backgrounds from well-known gaming companies. They will be releasing 500 ‘starter decks’ which will contain a hero which a user can customise. That hero will also be equipped with all Level 1 items giving it more value that future heroes. With the money raised from those 500 sales, they can continue to develop the game without worry of funding. And all of this can be done through VeriArti.

Quite simply, we provide the tools and fund-raising needed for any DApp or game that utilises NFTs to be developed.

In summary, our main goal of VeriArti is to bring value to art and collectibles but in the most accessible and user-friendly way possible. Allowing it to be used as a portal will facilitate anyone with a simple idea to turn it into a reality.

All the best,

The VeriArti Team!
