How does WAX work?

The main activities of WAX are mainly based on W.A.S.P. Strategy.

The W.A.S.P. Strategy on the WAX Platform captures the power that a dApp (Decentralized application) may use and quickly build to reach both existing and new WAX users. The WAX Platform is made up of the following components:

  • WAX Blockchain.
  • Decentralized Marketplace (like to Amazon).
  • Virtual Item Trading and Generation (akin to Steam).
  • Decentralized Wallets (similar to PayPal).

The WAX Platform provides users with a full array of blockchain-based solutions by combining the WAX Protocol Blockchain and the microservices layer. The WAX Platform is a secure and convenient way to create, buy, sell, and trade virtual goods with anyone, anywhere.

Run your own Virtual Market: WAX allows millions of users to create their own virtual stores without having to invest any capital into infrastructure or build payment channels.

Transfer agents: You can become an agent in the platform by reviewing and facilitating transactions, WAX members can earn a significant fee. With more fees, there will be more money to use and access to the entire ecosystem.

Appraisers: Members of WAX who are long-time and experienced players of any game can participate in the evaluation and evaluation of the value of items sold on the platform. There will be certain rewards for those who have good assessments and assessments, which are voted by many.

Is WAX (WAXP) a good investment?

There are three reasons why I believe WAX is a good investment:

  • WAX's platform currently has over 110 games, including famous games such as Alien Words, AtomicMarket, and Farmers World.
  • WAX is a pioneer in the field of NFT and GameFi Infrastructure. The project is based on solid technological foundations and targets one of the blockchain ecosystem's most potential niches: the NFT and GameFi sector.
  • The demand for WAX will rise in the future as the WAX ecosystem attracts users who use WAX tokens as in-game currency or transaction fees.

But generally, I recommend instead of “investing much in crypto,” invest your time in gaining knowledge in the domain to distinguish great tech from crap. This is the best investment, which I believe will make you rich and prosperous.

Disclaimer: All the information in this article is only for information purposes and should NOT be considered investment advice. Investing in Crypto contains hugely high risks, and you should only invest the fund you are willing to lose.
