Products & Services

We build a marketplace implemented through a web app. It matches players and game creators in a non-standard and fun way. For more info see the “Overview” section.

What problems do we solve?

Kata.Games deletes 3 problems simultaneously:

How can one create games and share them online efficiently? We provide creators with a toolbox and the access (via KataSDK) to a brand new infrastructure. It allows anyone to create, host, share his/her independent game. The key benefit here is simplicity of use.
How do players connect with game creators in a fast and convenient way? We’ve built a proprietary technology capable of “streaming” and running any kind of 2D game in the browser, along with its dedicated hosting solution for games.
How to make cryptocurrencies widely adopted widely? We build a product that will attract and retain a large number of users due to its features and its innovative design. Using the Stellar network adds benefits: for players the diversity of games will be greater (because the barrier to entry is lowered for creators) and players will learn real-world technologies/skills while using our system!

Kata.Games' Stellar integration

Using Stellar allows us to:

- Provide a unified digital identity for the user. Such an identity can be used throughout many games, this is convenient. During registration, every new avatar gets associated with a pair: Stellar address, extra details… Once it’s done the Stellar address contributes to authenticating a user. We use the Freighter wallet at Sign in and Sign up time, and integration of Albedo will be added. - Secure the ownership of virtual goods. If the user buys a very valuable item in a given game, we will store the ownership on the Blockchain via an NFT. An extra benefit is being able to use the SDEX for trading virtual goods minted by us. Also, we’ve introduced special game entities called “portals”. Every portal is represented by an NFT-like token. Owning a portal implies that you can configure it to redirect to the game of your choice. In other words, you can own a part of our virtual world! - Enhance the freemium model, speed up microtransactions. Transactions done via our system will be faster and more inclusive compared to competitors. Paying one’s premium status on Kata.Games will be done via cryptos. More specifically, we want to operate like a crypto exchange: fiat deposits will be possible (withdrawals too, but later in our company development) but fiat money will not be used at all when users are active within the system, only cryptos will.
