ULTRAS BLOCKCHAIN

Ultra has already developed and is using its own carbon-neutral blockchain infrastructure to power its App ecosystem. This is extremely impressive and has a number of advantages in what they can offer. I will list some below in more detail.

POWERED BY $UOS

Everything done on the blockchain from buying and selling games, loyalty programs, trading digital goods/virtual items, advertisements, etc will all work exclusively in the $UOS token.

2ND HAND MARKET FOR GAMES - FIRST OF ITS KIND

Ultra is the first platform to offer a second-hand games market. This has a number of cool benefits for both players and developers.

Players

Players can re-sell old games and receive $UOS for them

Players buying second-hand games can get access to content like (DLC, Items, etc) that they otherwise may not have been able to afford

Developers

Developers can capitalize on additional revenue streams by receiving a % of all second-hand sales

DEVS CAN CUSTOMIZE GAME SERVICES OR RIGHTS THEIR TOKENS GRANT

Developers now have the ability to customize a number of game token customizations such as

Secondhand market selling, allowed or not

Sales revenue splits with multi-signature

Referral program customization to incentivize players to earn $UOS

Game subscriptions (World of Warcraft style)

Monthly game update subscriptions

ULTRA GAMES SDK

Ultra Games SDK makes it easy to developers to integrate their games into the Ultra ecosystem without having to worry about things like user authentication, digital rights management, microtransactions, messaging, leaderboards, achievements, and more.

Ultra Games SDK will completely change the game by allowing developers access to all of these tools so that they can solely focus on their games and things like customizing incentive programs and user adoption with the platform.

ADDITIONAL ADVANTAGES OF USING ULTRA BLOCKCHAIN

TOKENOMICS

As stated above Ultra will operate solely with the $UOS token for everything within its ecosystem. There are a few key tokenomics things I will outline below.

Token Distribution Breakdown

RELIABLE CONTENT PRICING

For players who are looking to purchase a new game for example there is an issue with the token price fluctuation in terms of $UOS. Ultra has come up with a smart way to tackle this problem. Ultra will pull the latest USD value of an Ultra coin from its internal coin exchange and provide the USD to Ultra coin conversion rate to smart contracts in real-time.

THERE ARE A NUMBER OF WAYS FOR PLAYERS TO EARN $UOS

One of Ultra's core philosophies is to provide players with multiple and diverse ways to instantly earn $UOS.

2-LEVEL REFERRAL PROGRAM

Ultra has designed its tokenomics to redistribute sales revenues to players and developers who bring new users to the platform. This helps ensure network effects and incentivizes the people actually are actually growing the platform.

Players

Players who invite friends will receive $UOS every time their referee purchases content

Developers

Game developers are incentivized to direct marketing efforts towards Ultra to earn additional revenue streams from users’ purchases. Even content purchases from other developers this is big.

WAR CHEST ACQUISITION STRATEGY

Ultra has a unique strategy to build a war chest and acquire new exclusive games and services for the Ultra ecosystem. 5% of all Ultra games sales profits will be locked in the “Game Development and Acquisition War Chest” and will stay frozen for 2 years.

Once unfrozen Ultra will use the funds to acquire new games and services in order to bring new players to the platform, generate more profits, and redistribute more $UOS which will increase the number of Ultra coins in the war chest. This is aimed to be a repeating and growing flywheel for growth.

The Ultra team is extremely impressive with over 150 years of experience in the gaming industry and is made up of in-industry veterans, influential IT investors, and successful entrepreneurs. On top of what is listed below, they have a dedicated content acquisition team with veterans comprised of 20+ years of experience and an exclusive network of relationships. The total team at the time of this whitepaper (2018) is 50+ however I am sure that number has increased.
