On the other end of the frenzy in the inscription industry, the gaming sector has led the rise of the secondary market. ILV, GMT, and IMX have all reversed their decline, with ILV being the most prominent, rising from 40 to 94 in just one month. So what other opportunities are there in the gaming sector? Are there any hidden gems that have not been discovered by the community? Introducing the protagonist of this article - Parallel.

In 2021, Parallel, a trading card game, completed a round of $50 million financing led by Paradigm, with other investors including YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley, Focus Labs, OSS Capital, and Yunt Capital. The game's team members come from 3A games such as Assassin's Creed and Valorant, and Chad Hurley joined the team in March 2021. On the Opensea platform, the current trading volume of Parallel Alpha NFT has accumulated to 80076 ETH, bringing Parallel approximately 8000 ETH in total transaction fee revenue.

It can be seen that the Parallel team has sufficient funds to manipulate. They have not been complacent and continue to update Parallel TCG, promote the A and B testing of the game, and have also created another AI-driven 3D game - Colony, to expand the Parallel universe.

Background Story and Token System

The background of Parallel TCG began shortly after the Earth, where resources were being depleted and energy had become a scarce commodity. Scientists urgently sought solutions and attempted a new type of fission reaction experiment using antimatter. However, the experiment failed and triggered a global disaster called "The Event". A new type of radiation began to spread on Earth, causing the deaths of billions of humans and animals.

Against the backdrop of a survival crisis, humans built three spacecraft called Genesis to take a large number of survivors away from Earth. One of them went to Mars, one went to Europa (Jupiter's second satellite), and one went to the asteroid belt. Thousands of years later, humans avoided extinction and survived in five independent groups called Parallel. The survivors called The Event The Priming. Earth became habitable again, and a new energy source called Prime emerged. The five Parallel groups eventually clashed in order to control the Earth and Prime energy.

Prime is the utility token of the game. It is a token associated with the Echelon Foundation and the Parallel ecosystem. It is used to interact with smart contracts, can be transferred and traded, and serves as a reward when winning the game (Prime can only be obtained by winning NFT card battles).

PRIME Token Distribution and Value

According to the official documentation, the total supply of PRIME tokens is 111,111,111.111. The real-time circulating supply of the token can be viewed on the official website, which can be accessed through the link provided in the following HTML anchor tag: 官网. Please refer to the table below for distribution details.

$PRIME is the absolute core of the game. It is not only a currency, but also closely related to various activities in the Parallel ecosystem (such as purchasing NFTs, participating in special events, etc.). All content that interacts with $PRIME is called PRIME Sinks.

Many Sinks in Parallel are related to the gameplay and skins of the game. For example, Terminals and Artigraph are mainly for visual effects and decoration. However, there are other Sinks, such as Payload and Echoes, which are designed to help the game expand and grow, involving more complex features and interactions.

These Sinks are not just for providing content that players can consume, they also have a key function: when players spend $PRIME on these Sinks, the tokens are redistributed to the Sink Schedule and then rewarded to game players. This redistribution system can be seen as an economic cycle that helps maintain the activity and value of the game.

$PRIME currently has liquidity on Coinbase and Uniswap. Although it has not spread to more trading markets, $PRIME has still achieved a significant increase, with a cumulative increase of 75% last week.

Gameplay and Competitiveness

In TCG games, deck building is the key to determining the outcome of a battle. As Sun Tzu said, "Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win." This is also true for Parallel, where players need to enhance their strength by collecting cards and building a deck strategically to lay the foundation for victory.

Match and assemble a complete set of card decks, considering the combination of different card functions.

Engage in 1v1 matches with others, using strategy and rules to win;

Card packs can be traded on the market to select the most suitable deck for oneself.

Next, what can affect the outcome of the game is the player's familiarity with the existing card pool. Each victory in the game can bring players a $PRIME reward.

Keyframing coefficients affect the income calculation of $PRIME.

The number of NFTs in the deck. More NFT cards equals more $PRIME.

连胜。更高的连胜 = 更多的 $PRIME。

Winning streak. Higher winning streak = more $PRIME.

The daily $PRIME emission has an upper limit, currently set at 5 victories.
