Karrat, composed of a set of tools, allows players to import NFTs and their metadata into game engines and assemble such assets.
Authored by 1912212.eth, Foresight News
Recently, Coinbase suddenly launched Karrat, a relatively unknown Web3 gaming project, which has once again attracted market attention to Karrat and the Web3 gaming industry.
As we all know, after the last bull market peak, Web3 gaming has not seen the emergence of any phenomenal projects for a long time, and discussions about gaming have always been on the sidelines of the industry. However, both capital and project teams are still actively laying out the gaming field because gaming has always been one of the most sticky and easily mainstreamed directions in the Crypto industry. In the “2024 Vision: Web3 Adventurers New Year’s Speech” hosted by Foresight News, Andrei Grachev, co-founder of DWF Labs, stated that the biggest hotspot in 2024 will be GameFi, and the most important thing for GameFi is to make games feel like games.
The so-called “games feel like games” means a shift from “pure money-making” to “earning money while experiencing the fun of gaming.” This article aims to explore Karrat, the Web3 gaming project that Coinbase has recognized, and reveal its true nature.
Karrat: Gaming and AI Ecosystem Infrastructure
Karrat is a decentralized gaming infrastructure layer that not only focuses on gaming but also includes the hottest AI category. This is unique among many categories. It is worth noting that the most well-known AI gaming product in the previous category was Parallel, and Karrat aims to build the infrastructure for the AI gaming track.
Unlike previous Web3 gaming concepts, most games cannot integrate with various external elements. Karrat consists of a set of tools that allow players to import NFTs and their metadata into game engines and assemble such assets (including 3D game assets) to integrate and blend into any given game or other experiences. In this way, players can experience different gaming experiences through various combinations, including visual styles and accessory elements. Although the actual effects still need to be observed, it has opened up a considerable space for experiences.
In addition, the governance token KARRAT truly empowers game players and users. Most gaming governance tokens are named decentralized, but they are not truly decentralized in the initial distribution. 50% of the total supply of Karrat tokens is allocated to the community and foundation, which is relatively reasonable in terms of token allocation.
Karrat’s community players and consumers can also use KARRAT to decide how to integrate the KARRAT Protocol into games and products. It introduces community decision-making through on-chain governance design, thereby opening up the closed traditional path in Web2 games.
KARRAT has a total supply of 1 billion tokens and no inflation. Among them, 20% of the total supply is allocated to early contributors, 15% is allocated to the team, advisors, and service providers, 15% is used for expansion and development, and 50% is used for the community and foundation (including airdrops). 6% of this total is used for airdrops to NFT holders, 30% is used for on-chain governance treasury, and 14% is allocated to the foundation.
The foundation is registered in the Cayman Islands and focuses on developing and nurturing the KARRAT ecosystem. It operates as a neutral manager to support the continuous innovation and development of KARRATco, KARRAT technology, and the development and education of KARRATco. KARRATco is a new collective with decision-making power.
Team and advisor tokens have a 4-year lock-up period, with the first unlock occurring one year after the TGE (Token Generation Event), followed by monthly unlocks over the remaining three years. After the TGE, service providers can unlock 1.5%. The lock-up period for early contributors is a maximum of 2.5 years, with the first unlock occurring six months after the TGE. The tokens allocated for “future development” have a lock-up period of up to 4.5 years, with 3% unlocked at TGE and the remaining unlocked after six months, with a maximum lock-up period of 4 years. According to the KARRATco Articles of Association, the on-chain governance treasury will reside in a smart contract, and the tokens are immediately unlocked but not circulating.
In addition to the reasonable token distribution mentioned above, the ecosystem has already seen a high-quality game, the first AI game by Karrat, called My Pet Hooligan, which is worth mentioning.
After the completion of the infrastructure, it is important to cultivate or introduce attractive games. When a game successfully attracts players, it will trigger a demonstration effect and attract more interesting and high-quality games to come forward, thereby realizing a good positive cycle.
My Pet Hooligan is Karrat’s first game, with simple gameplay where players control cartoon characters driven by AI to score continuously. In December 2023, the game received the Best Action Game award from GAM3S.GG.
It is worth mentioning that this game is published by the well-known game studio AMGI Studios, which consists of over 60 artists, game developers, AI developers, animators, Web3 creatives, and more. The team has rich experience in AI, gaming, and animation and has held senior positions at Disney Pixar, Warner Bros., Industrial Light & Magic, and EA. Their partners include Epic Games, Nvidia, Polygon, Yield Guild Games, Delphi Digital, Bitkraft, Arca, and more.
Whether it is Layer 2 or L1, gaming infrastructure has become more perfect, and competition is ongoing with one product after another putting effort into the ecosystem and development. If Karrat can create a truly popular game, the gears of the flywheel effect may start turning.
