The Abyss is a next-generation digital distribution platform, that delivers all types of video games – Free2play MMOs and cryptogames being a key priority), including AAA-titles, to the fast-growing global game community. The main purpose is to offer a ground-breaking, motivational and multilevel referral system, that would allow gamers to earn from in game and social activities.

Additionally, by joining The Abyss, developers will be able to reduce marketing expenses and receive an extra income from referral payments that are made in other games on the platform. At the same time, developers will have access to specialized game statistics, target and content-generating audience at the start of the project, a multilingual 24/7 customer support service, convenient traffic rotation mechanism in every game on the platform, and more.

That’s not all, the minimum share of payments by users to the platform for developers will be 70%. If the developer decides that, he can receive the payment in fiat currencies regardless the currency in which the initial payment has been performed. It is also important for developers to receive their payments fast, and this is something that The Abyss was able to do. By using the platform, developers will be able to receive their payments in tokens without verifying documents or waiting until the end of a reporting period.

The Abyss understand what game developers need, that’s why they will be able to launch projects as an alfa or beta version for gathering opinions, testing and figuring out what aspects require the most work to improve the game, etc.

The platform will also include an exhaustive amount of information, that includes user feedback, and media reviews, that will be presented in order to promote the game and protect it from unfair competition.

Players will be rewarded with the referral program, with earnings from personal and joint achievements, with the monetization of content created, with in-game auction, and with the completion of joint activities.

Users will also have automatic updates, meaning that they will not have to care about which is the version that they are using. Furthermore, they will be able to limit download speeds of needed files in case they have a slow internet connection.

During the game sessions, players will get the data about all players with whom they are interacting during game play, so that they can make their acquaintance and become friends. And for those interested users, the platform offers the possibility to take screenshots and video captures of the game.

Abyss Tokens are a priority internal mechanism for interaction on the platform. The earnings from referral and motivational programs are paid in ABYSS tokens and most of the internal services depend on this cryptocurrency.

It is important to mark that 1/3 of the platform’s commission from internal CPA network and the auction transactions will be burnt by the Smart Contract. Moreover, if a user decides to pay for game purchases with ABYSS tokens, they will be grated a discount.

Key Characteristics of the Project:

  • A powerful referral program that allows users to earn ABYSS tokens from payments and achievements of their referrals in other games in the platform.
  • Analogous referral system that is built on a viral basis. Players receive ABYSS tokens from their invited friends’ transactions.

The Abyss allows developers to have a different logic of advertising interaction. They buy and sell targeted traffic to each other and receive payments even from users leaving the game. The model of interaction is collaborative and not competitive.

The Abyss is not a typical ICO due to the fact that it is using a decentralized autonomous initial coin offering system, also known as DAICO. The company will not receive all of the money gathered during the ICO, but instead, the tokens will be locked in a smart contract. Every single month the team will be receiving a small part of the ETH received from the ICO in order to use them for the different stages of the project.

The main difference with a normal ICO is that the team cannot just disappear one day to the other with all the funds. Moreover, you may want to check the difference between Abyss and their competitors:
