Comparison between Blade Wars and our competitors

Why we are building on NEAR and Aurora
--------------------------------------

We have high conviction in the NEAR ecosystem and think it has the best technology and scalability out of any L1. As a fastest Sharded POS blockchain, NEAR has already implemented what ETH 2.0 is planning to do years ahead.

**NEAR has**

1.  Solana TPS + Speeds
    
2.  Avalanche EVM ecosystem + Subnet
    
3.  Terra algo stable-coin ecosystem
    

Blade Wars’ ultimate goal is to build the gaming ecosystem on NEAR and through that ecosystem be NEAR’s center of liquidity.

The Best NFT marketplace + Gaming Primitive
-------------------------------------------

Blade Wars is bringing the best NFT + Gaming primitive to NEAR, allowing users to use their assets productively through 1) **earn yield through trading NFT** 2) **earn in-game tokens by playing game.**

With the success of many marketplaces such as OpenSea and Looksrare, it is clear that NFT marketplace + Gaming offers the best of both world by both connecting the community together and creating the best sustainable way for Play-to-Earn ecosystem.

We aim to solve 2 most pressing issues: Community and NFT Utilities.

*   **Community**
    
    *   Gaming is the best way to bootstrap a community as we have seen from BAYC, Azuki, Milady etc. Having a game where people can connect and play with other people is the best way to sustain community in the long term.
        
*   **NFT Utilities + Emission**
    
    *   As we have seen from popular games like Crypto Raider, BAYC OtherSide, etc. Gaming utilities are very important to NFT.
        
    *   As an analogy, many NFT projects on Solana have floor price slide off very quickly because their NFT projects only act as a cool Profile Picture but nothing else.
        
    *   Pure Gaming Emissions are unstable no matter how innovative your tokenomic is. Many such cases: Crabada, etc.
        
    
    By Combining revenue earned from NFT marketplace + Gaming P2E emissions together we aim to solve these problems with a synergy and symbiosis relationship between P2E game and the NFT market.
