Meet Star Sharks: A Community-Driven Shark Metaverse
Star Sharks(SSS) is a community-driven shark metaverse where players, developers, and investors could define the value evolution of underlying NFTs in a sustainable ecosystem. This project aims to cultivate and share the value of content with the community, and to disrupt the current GameFi world where assets are isolated in one game. It enables players to come together to build and govern a new metaverse and create a community culture in the Shark-metaverse. Star Sharks was founded in 2021 by a team with previous star performers from Timi Studio, Google, and Binance.
Star Sharks team will add a radical referral mechanism to their games. Through the referral programs, ancestor users will receive tokens based on the competition activity rewards of the users they have referred. StarSharks will also add an NFT leasing feature in its NFT marketplace for users to ârent to playâ. This feature will fully activate the liquidity and utilization of NFT assets, and bridge the gap between NFT holders who donât have time to play and active players who donât have enough initial capital to purchase entry NFTs.
