2. Multiple popular games - Web3's top product capabilities
Large user scale

Large market space
Each of the four games on the MATR1X platform has the potential to become a killer application for Web3. FPS, Battle Royale, RPG placement cards, and MOBA are all among the top five game categories in terms of user scale.
Shooting games are the largest game category, with more than 2 billion gamers worldwide. Users of shooting games such as CS2, Call of Duty, PUBG, Freefire, etc. are all potential users of MATR1X.
High revenue from games
Tencent, the world's largest gaming company, has three most profitable mobile games: Honor of Kings, Peace Elite, and CrossFire . The total revenue of CrossFire mobile games exceeds 13 billion US dollars, and the total revenue of Peace Elite exceeds 10 billion US dollars. MATR1X FIRE is similar to CrossFire, while MATR1X BATTLE is comparable to Peace Elite. On the other hand, the annual skin transaction volume of CS2 accessories ecosystem is as high as 10 billion US dollars. It can be foreseen that the revenue ceiling of the MATR1X platform is very high.
Low barriers to entry
You can play without buying NFTs. There is no barrier for traditional game players to enter. It has attracted more than 2.5 million shooting game users.
Breaking the Death Spiral
Unboxing and the accessories economy are key mechanisms for balancing the in-game economy and breaking the death spiral. The weapons and props in the MATR1X game are all NFTs, which are produced through unboxing and freely traded, similar to the skin accessories in CS2. The CS2 accessories ecosystem has an annual skin transaction volume of up to 10 billion US dollars.
The blind box mechanism essentially provides a random channel for acquiring assets and an asynchronous gaming space. During the gaming process, the overall asset price can be balanced, thus avoiding a death spiral.
3. Public chain + popular games
MATR1X already has its own public chain . The combination of public chain and popular games gives MATR1X stronger explosive power. For example, Axie+Ronin.
Popular games (MATR1X FIRE, MATR1X BATTLE) bring a large number of users, providing liquidity and income for the public chain. On the other hand, the customized public chain provides better infrastructure support for games, provides a better interactive experience, and attracts more high-quality games to join the MATR1X ecosystem.
Referring to the existing game public chains in the market, Ronin has a market value of 2 billion US dollars, and Immutable has a market value of 2.5 billion US dollars. With the support of many popular games, the MATR1X public chain has huge room for imagination.

4. Popular games + distribution platform
Another important part of MATR1X is the Web3 game platform, which becomes the entrance to Web3 games, that is, the Steam of Web3, helping to release more high-quality games.
There is a prerequisite for being a distribution platform, that is , the ability to continuously produce hit games, in order to become a Web3 game distribution platform. Only when hit games bring a large number of users can the platform stand firm. For example, after Valve had two hit games, CS2 and Dota2, Steam gradually grew into the largest game distribution platform. MATR1X currently has four hit games, and MATR1X is capable of being a good Web3 game distribution platform.
Under the same model of blockbuster games + distribution platform, Valve's revenue in 2023 will be US$9 billion and its valuation will be approximately US$100 billion.
And $MAX holders will receive revenue from the issuing platform and continuously obtain new game assets, refer to BNB's Launchpool.
