Yumerium is a new gaming platform offering the first-ever “play-to-earn” scheme to allow player collect tokenized rewards for playing the games developed with the company’s ecosystem built on blockchain technology. Although the framework for the platform is already done and 4 games are up and running, the company is committed to transparency, and as such, they have shared their development stages and what’s being done on each one of them on their whitepaper. That way users and investors alike can be fully aware of what they are trying to achieve. Let’s take a brief look at each one of them:

**The Platform as a driver for Acquisition and Engagement**
 
Every game that joins the Yumerium ecosystem or it’s developed inside it will have a seeding fund at their disposal to attract new players to the game. These funds will be allocated to YUM tokens, and the gamer will be able to partake on these when they interact with the game in every possible devised by the developer of the game. Regarding the strategies that developers are able to use to lure players each, and all that result beneficial to them are open as long as it doesn’t disrupt the equity on the ecosystem. Once enough players are interacting with the game a virtuous cycle will be created to the benefit of all the parties involved: developers, publishers, and gamers. 

**The Platform as a Gaming Community**

Every publisher working under the Yumerium ecosystem will have a Marketing Fund pool allocated for promotional purposes. Since the ecosystem is built to promote rewards based on interaction, every user will have the chance to earn more rewards by promoting, reviewing or enrolling more players in their favorite games. The players who participate in these independent marketing efforts will be compensated using YUM tokens. Other forms of engagement such as sharing links related to a game on social networks or watching promotional videos will report minor rewards. Everything will be registered on the Blockchain logs of the ecosystem.

**The Platform as a Crowdfunding Tool**

The team behind Yumerium is aware of the past success of various developers using Kickstarter to fund their gaming initiatives. They are willing to offer an alternative to indie studios to work in an ecosystem where true gaming professionals can strive and focus on their best work. The platform will help these developers to gather the funding and distribute it properly to create the necessary allocations for each stage of development.

These are some of the basic ideas behind each stage of the Yumerium platform, to learn more about their plans and structures you can go to [Website](http://www.yumerium.com), [ANN](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3272290.0)/[Bounty Thread](https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3276979) and [Telegram](https://telegram.me/yumerium)

**The Platform as a Decentralized Payout Method**

By using the Blockchain Technology as their pillar, the Yumerium platform will handle every transaction done within the ecosystem using smart contracts to establish a direct relationship between the user and the game developer. If the structure of the funding allows for co-ownership, the user can make a direct payment to the developer using YAM tokens to fund a new initiative in development. The user will have a claim on profits if the game fares well. If on the other hand, the game accepts funding without sharing ownership, the user will be entitled to the rewards offered by the developing team.
