MegaFans Supports Afghan Women in Gaming and DeFi by Offering NFTs as Charity at DCentral

MegaFans, a South­ern Cal­i­for­nia-based mobile gam­ing firm, announced the suc­cess­ful devel­op­ment of a play-to-earn tour­na­ment approach that util­i­ties donat­ed NFTs and cryp­tocur­ren­cy prizes to encour­age gamers and col­lec­tors to join in the company’s char­i­ty fundrais­ing event.

Launch­pool, Lis­ten Tokens, Sta­mi­na, and Megafans are among the NFT’s con­trib­u­tors and part­ners. Launch­pool also donat­ed bit­coin to the tournament’s top three win­ners in sup­port of CodetoInspire.org, Afghanistan’s first cod­ing school for women.

MegaFans (Mobile eSports Gam­ing Fanat­ics) is estab­lish­ing the world’s first mobile eSports com­mu­ni­ty via the use of blockchain, bit­coin, and non-fun­gi­ble tokens in a play-to-earn meta­verse ecosys­tem for gamers and col­lec­tors, where 2.8 bil­lion dai­ly active users fight for rewards.

MegaFans pro­vide cus­tomized solu­tions for mobile game pub­lish­ers and devel­op­ers that enhance the play­er expe­ri­ence and boost rev­enue and reten­tion. MegaFans just became the first mobile eSports plat­form to pro­vide NFTs as prizes, and for the first time since launch­ing its MPV ear­li­er this year, their first prof­itable month exceed­ed their return on adver­tis­ing spend (ROAS) in November.

The start­up busi­ness instant­ly donat­ed a por­tion of its income when they launched a new eSports com­pe­ti­tion that includ­ed NFTs and cryp­tocur­ren­cy awards in order to pro­mote aware­ness and encour­age Afghan women in gam­ing and decen­tral­ized finance tech­nolo­gies (aka Gam­fi). The firm is specif­i­cal­ly using the mobile eSports plat­form to assist women in Afghanistan in learn­ing to code online “One of MegaFans’ guid­ing prin­ci­ples is to pro­mote Gamfi’s women.

“Codetoinspire.org and its par­tic­i­pants all incur sig­nif­i­cant risks. MegaFans, Launch­pool, Lis­ten Tokens, and Sta­mi­na have all agreed to sup­port this worth­while cause, and we believed that DCen­tral was the per­fect loca­tion to launch it” MegaFans’ Founder and CEO, Jeff Don­nel­ley, explains.

DCen­tral is a con­fer­ence ded­i­cat­ed to the future of decen­tral­ized finance and net­worked finan­cial tech­nolo­gies. Launch­pool is a plat­form for tok­enized crowd­fund­ing. Lis­ten Token hold­ers have access to the world’s most renowned actors, singers, artists, and authors via spe­cial social impact NFTs.

Sta­mi­na is a Cana­di­an pho­tog­ra­ph­er that spe­cial­izes in nature pho­tog­ra­phy, non-tra­di­tion­al por­trai­ture, and bilin­gual hip hop music. Megafans pro­vides a vari­ety of free-to-play and pay-to-win oppor­tu­ni­ties, rang­ing from quick-play games to month­ly tour­na­ments with high­er prize pools up to $10,000 (USD).

The pools expand in size as the com­mu­ni­ty devel­ops, and par­tic­i­pants earn vir­tu­al tokens that may be trad­ed for oth­er cryp­tocur­ren­cies, non-fun­gi­ble tokens, gift cards, or cash. To min­i­mize gas prices, the NFTs are dis­trib­uted on OpenSea.io through the Polygon.technology chain.

MegaFans just com­plet­ed a seed round of invest­ment spon­sored by Alphabit and launched a strate­gic-pri­vate round in search of part­ner­ships to help them expand their plat­form and audi­ence. MegaFans is a mem­ber of the Launch­pool Labs incu­ba­tor pro­gram, which pro­vides strate­gic and tech­ni­cal assis­tance to help them build their gam­ing and col­lect­ing com­mu­ni­ty. The Launch­pool Labs incu­ba­tor is a 90-day intense devel­op­ment pro­gram focus­ing on com­mu­ni­ty growth and val­ue cre­ation for blockchain entrepreneurs.
