Introducing the Hike Gaming Nation

The First MMO Casual PvP Gaming Nation (MMOCPG)

“We often ask: if we had the chance to rebuild modern civilization today, what’s the one thing we would do differently?

Today, consumers fuel platforms with their time, data, and money—while ownership remains locked away. The internet inverted production, shifting risk to the edge—but left ownership behind. As the lines blur between creator and consumer, a simple truth emerges: those who grow the garden deserve to harvest its fruits.

We have a saying “Nature is the ultimate blockchain and human beings are the NFTs.” Human beings are unique and as a result our attention is also unique. Our attention combined with the forward movement of time produces units of attention that are scarce and valuable. With the blockchain we can finally capture this attention, this energy and package it in a way where we can unlock new ways for people to participate economically in the digital world.

Welcome to the Hike Gaming Nation.

The Vision: MMOCPG Gaming Nation

We are creating the first MMO Casual PvP Gaming ecosystem—a digital nation where gaming skill is properly rewarded through cryptocurrency and NFT's, players truly own their digital assets and gaming progress, and the community actively governs and evolves the platform.

We're forging a living economy where every participant shapes our world.

Market Opportunity

We're targeting the rapidly growing Casual PvP mobile gaming market which has exploded into a $21+ billion sector, serving a global audience of 600M+ players.

How Casual PvP Works → Players wager small amounts on skill-based casual games, competing in real-time matches to win cash prizes. Our platform takes a small commission while managing global matchmaking, scoring, and instant payouts.

Our Approach → Web 2 & Web 3 Hybrid

We're building something real—real users, real revenue, and proven metrics. Our approach combines the best of both worlds:

• Web2 Benefits: Seamless mobile-first UX, validated business model with strong retention and unit economics, proven gamification expertise

• Web3 Unblocks: Global payment rails, borderless communities, digital ownership and community governance

Our interfaces will hide all the underlying infrastructure, letting users jump into games with any asset, from any chain, using any wallet.

Rush (Web 2 test-bed) → 5M+ MAU & $480M+

We launched Rush, a single app with 14 games in 2021 in India as our Web 2 test-bed that has demonstrated the huge potential of Casual PvP:

• $480M+ GMV: Business model validated in India's challenging market

• 5M+ Monthly Active Users: 32%+ D7 retention rate, best in class to major mobile titles

• Robust Engagement: 100M+ games played per month, 28-minute average daily sessions

• Technical Excellence: Enterprise-grade infrastructure with millisecond latency

Hike Protocol → Supersizing Casual PvP

As we built games at Hike Studios, we created custom infrastructure for user onboarding, matchmaking, anti-cheat etc. all from scratch. We are incorporating our technology into the Hike Protocol — infrastructure purpose-built to hyperscale PvP gaming.

Building on our Web2 success, we aim to build the MMOCPG vision through five interconnected components:

1. Stablecoins: USDC/T providing the foundation for global, instant settlement enabling cross-border competition with minimal volatility for global prize pools

2. $HIKE Token: The economic engine fueling rewards, governance, and value capture through platform activity and aligning incentives of all participants

3. NFT's as Energy Containers: Capturing player attention and contributions as owned digital assets with true utility whose value is a function of the energy spent in our ecosystem.

4. Hike DevKit & Platform: The infrastructure that enables developers to tap into our distribution. Payment, wallet, Avatar rails, PvP-as-a-Service, and security for rapid integration

Hike Gaming Nation → Economy

Our dream state is a self-sustaining digital nation that is not just a community but a living economy.

1. Economic Foundations:

   1. GDP Driver: Casual PvP gaming generates real economic activity through millions of daily transactions

   2. Currency: Multi-token system with stablecoins for stability and $HIKE for growth and governance

   3. Treasury: Protocol-owned reserves that grow with ecosystem adoption and secure long-term sustainability

2. Participants:

   1. Players win tangible rewards through skill-based competition

   2. Developers access a large global player base with built-in monetization

   3. Capital Allocators tap into transparent, on-chain yield opportunities

   4. Community governance ensures all stakeholders share in ecosystem growth
