Business

Overview

In today’s world, the line between physical and digital life is fading fast. Communities are forming, stories are unfolding, and value is being created across both realms. At Posse Studios, we believe that the next evolution of entertainment lies in immersive, open experiences that don’t just serve players—but are shaped by them.

Want3d is our answer to that evolution: a Western-inspired, cross-platform game and digital ecosystem that fuses deep gameplay with real economic opportunity. Built with modern 3D infrastructure, it gives players the freedom to explore, compete, trade, and build inside a living, breathing frontier—accessible to anyone, whether they’re crypto-native or just curious.

As the demand for immersive, player-driven virtual experiences continues to outpace the supply, we’re delivering something that’s both familiar and revolutionary:

A world that feels alive and rewarding
A game that’s fun first, with real earning mechanics under the hood
An ecosystem that’s open to everyone—not just those fluent in tech or finance

The Want3d experience is grounded in these core pillars:

Game-Driven Economy – Separate in-game and governance tokens with real utility
Playable Digital Assets – Cross-compatible in-game items and collectibles
Creator Communities – Tools to launch, grow, and monetize your own following
AI-Enhanced Gameplay – Autonomous, evolving in-game assets and experiences
Platform Flexibility – Free-to-play mobile and desktop access, no wallet required

By blending gameplay and innovation in a way that feels intuitive—not intimidating—we’re redefining how players interact with the next generation of games and digital economies.

General Problems in Crypto/NFT/Game Finance/Metaverses

Centralized finance

In CeFi, the customers transfer the custody of their holdings to the exchanges. They also provide their private details to these exchanges so it’s not transparent or private anymore. In case the exchange is hacked or suffers from a cyber attack there’s a real chance of losing funds. Even if somehow the funds are safe there is a risk of compromised privacy.

There have been situations of freezing or stopping the whole exchange circulation or enabling the selling of the specific stock. It shows the threat of the funds not being really in the holder's pocket but in the hands of the exchange company.

Inexperienced team members and hype approach instead of business approach

Crypto markets have thousands of projects and many of them are created by people who don't have any real technical or business experience. This leads to the team abandoning the project, letting it fall, not preparing for each stage, and just seeing what’s going to happen without any plan. In 99 out of 100 cases these projects will just fail; if not in the bull market then they will surely go down in the bear market. This is why it’s so important to bring talented and motivated people into the project’s team and manage it like a company that’s developing a product (value).

Lack of real-value projects

It’s not just odd and infantile names or the pump-and-dump scammers who manipulate the space, but every aspect of the coins that are meant to create the ultimate sense of FOMO (fear of missing out), and also a promise of extreme wealth.

There are more and more projects on blockchains (Eth, Bsc, Polygon, Cosmos etc.) that are considered “shit-coins” or “meme-coins”. They try to follow main players like Dogecoin or Shiba-Inu and catch people off-guard psychologically promising them wealth by putting their money into it while it has no real value behind the project at all.

Blockchain games playability

For any player with gaming experience most of the blockchain games currently on the market are not playable and the game mechanism is not perfect. All these have led to chain games often being mocked as blockchain gamification rather than game blockchainization. The attraction for real gamers is limited but it is sought after by investors. The reason why investors can be attracted is that the concepts of GameFi and P2E are appealing regarding game development, demographics, and profitability. As we discussed in the previous article “Blockchain Games Expanding to Playability”, even if the chain game studio makes a game that satisfies all the values, if it is not fun then the player will not pay the bill (not to mention the consensus of the community and the value of game assets). So returning to the essence of the game, with the playability, it is possible to attract more players to enter while retaining existing players, so that mainstream players can accept it. Today, in the overwhelming publicity of blockchain games, it appears to matter more that players make money by playing games rather than promoting how fun this game is. Most of the current chain games are also not playable as they are only constructed from the perspective of P2E profitability and most players do not consider the richness of this game at all. It depends entirely on the current popularity.

Play 2 Earn

The reality of modern P2E is that earning has less to do with playing than investing. Players must first spend considerably, up to thousands of dollars buying NFTs or paying a third-party guild to rent them. Unfortunately, without all of these you can’t play the game at all for free. To earn any return some group of future players must spend more to keep it all going and so on in perpetuity.

Pay 2 Win

Many companies nowadays are driven by profit prosperity so they lean towards the Pay 2 win mechanics in their games. There should be no in-game advantage for doing so. Pay-to-win mechanics ruin the balance. They make games less fun and sustainable and they exclude many people who aren’t able to risk capital which leads to fewer user databases.

Internal Metaverses

As the word “metaverse” is hot right now we can see more and more projects being developed under this banner. There are really not that many projects that want true metaverses across all the chains (or even multiple chains). Instead, projects are focusing on creating a small “mini verse” in their own brand, just for their local community.

NFTs as multimedia without any utility

Utility represents how easily the NFT can be used and what you can actually do with it; reputation represents value given by the profile — popularity or infamy — of the original creator or source and liquidity represents how easy it is to buy and sell the NFT. Over the past few months dozens of brands and celebrities have minted their own NFT collections with more or less resounding success. NBA Top Shot sold $500 million worth of NBA history, Elon Musk was offered $1 million for his NFT song, Formula 1 sold digital collectible car components, and Taco Bell’s collection was, well, less popular. So what drove the value of these purchases? Looking at the formula above, we can safely say that reputation plays a big factor. Elon Musk got offered $1 million because he is a celebrity and if the basketball clips were not officially endorsed by the NBA then they wouldn’t be as valuable. Scarcity also plays a role as these drops are time-limited and run out quickly so FOMO (the fear of missing out) leads to irrational behaviour and speculation. The missing element here was utility. No one bought these NFTs for a specific use case. Reputation and scarcity-driven value work well for digital art and collectibles but this is a relatively niche audience. Sure, the digital collectible market generated over $2 billion in transactions in quarter one of 2021 alone, but only across roughly 100,000 hyper-users according to this report. This might well continue to be the case and be a large market in itself, but to truly emerge into the mainstream NFTs need to prove their utility beyond pure collectible and speculative value.

Game financial ecosystem balance

Many Game-Fi's are built on the single-pass system that uses a currency for the in-game economy and the secondary market. Players who obtain the game pass through the purchase can enter the game and earn income by playing the game.

The direct transaction between a single in-game currency and legal tender increases the impact of the secondary market on the in-game economic system. When players buy game tokens in large quantities and lock their accounts the currency value and player profits will increase making the game very positive. However, this is not conducive to attracting new players to keep up with the upgrade speed of old players, and causes huge inequality and affects the participation of new players. Conversely, when the currency is sold in a large amount and depreciated, players will lose the motivation to continue playing due to low income, speed up the sales of game items, and plunge the game into a death spiral.

In addition, the single currency system is prone to inflation, especially when the game guild continues to produce. It will cause the depreciation of the token which will cause the fear of later investors. This is not conducive to the survival of the game itself. In addition, the overall cycle design cost and maintenance cost brought about by currency unification are relatively large and there is no central bank to artificially regulate currency circulation. Therefore, when a problem occurs in a certain link in the entire cycle, the BUG cycle will directly collapse.

Western theme in general video games market

The Western genre has a long history in gaming but it seems to have taken a hiatus of sorts following the enormous success of the Red Dead Redemption series. It's understandable why developers don't want to compete with Rockstar's powerhouse, but it doesn't mean development teams should completely avoid the genre. There are many gamers who would enjoy more Western games, even ones that aren't as polished as Red Dead Redemption 2. There's a lot of room here for developers to keep things fresh and try to innovate. Trying to avoid copying Red Dead while still fitting into the Western genre could be a fascinating creative experiment on its own, leading to an artistic and enjoyable gaming experience.

Income-focused projects

The majority of the market focuses on maximizing profits in a short time. It’s understandable, as managing the blockchain project isn’t a charity but a business. However, there is a lack of projects that really want to please the users and players instead of creators. When creators answer the community calls about how the game should look, players are sure that this game is what they really want and want to have fun with.

An additional benefit should be bringing more and more regular people outside of the Crypto world into blockchain technology. We didn't create the project because of financial problems. We are very passionate about video games, blockchain, and want to use our IT and management skills to finally see a high quality blockchain game. The goal and motivation is to bring regular players to the blockchain.

Our solutions

Posse Community Focus

Holders of NFTs and Tokens will be treated as the governors of the POSSE ecosystem!

Community-Led By Design

To meet the expectations of today’s players and investors, it’s not enough to just build a great game—we have to build a great ecosystem with the community at its core. A strong, engaged community isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s the engine that drives both the success of the game and the long-term sustainability of the platform behind it.

Want3d is built with a simple but powerful principle:

The best games are made alongside the people who play them.

We’re creating a space where players don’t just consume content—they help shape it. From gameplay mechanics to seasonal events and feature development, the community will have a real say in the direction of the game.

By making this a game for gamers, by gamers, we’re not only building something worth playing—we’re building something worth sharing. Word-of-mouth will drive growth, the player base will grow organically, and the positive feedback loop will strengthen our reach, retention, and reputation.

This is more than just a game. It’s a frontier—and everyone’s invited to help build it

Want3d Ecosystem

Creating the perfect gaming ecosystem means going beyond surface-level hype. It requires a foundation that’s fun, fair, and built to last. At Posse Studios, we focus on the essentials that matter most for long-term success:

A Multi-Token Economy Our token system is purposefully designed to separate gameplay rewards, governance, and liquidity—ensuring stability and clear utility across the ecosystem.
Engaging, Replayable Gameplay Fun comes first. Want3d is crafted to be easy to learn, hard to master, and deeply replayable—giving players a reason to come back and compete.
Cross-Platform Accessibility The game must meet players where they are. That’s why we’re building for both mobile and desktop, with no crypto experience or wallet setup required to start playing.
Real Value, Not Just FOMO Unlike many projects that peak and collapse in hype cycles, our foundation is built on lasting value:
- A living, player-driven metaverse
- Functional, in-game digital assets (NFTs)
- A creator economy with long-term incentives
- Community governance and development input

By aligning real gameplay with meaningful ownership and wide accessibility, Want3d avoids the pitfalls of short-term speculation and delivers something that players—and the market—can believe in.

The mobile version of Want3d offers both a free-to-play casual mode and a compete-to-earn mode for competitive players. Featuring Low Poly style graphics with mechanics inspired by Call of Duty and Fortnite, players climb the "Most Want3d" rankings to earn $POSSE Tokens. Each year has four seasons, with top-ranking players sharing the grand prize. Competitive mode requires NFT equipment and $WILD deposits, while a limited free-to-play version is available for non-crypto users, making the game accessible and introducing new players to blockchain technology.

Innovation aspects of the Want3d ecosystem

The Want3d ecosystem is built on principles of accessibility, ownership, and long-term sustainability. Instead of chasing hype cycles, we focus on delivering a real, scalable gaming experience that blends immersive gameplay with meaningful digital utility.

Multi-Token System

A strong game economy needs more than just rewards—it needs structure. That’s why Want3d uses a multi-token system, dividing currency into three clear roles:

In-Game Currency ($POSSE): Earned through core activities like daily tasks, event participation, and competitive ranked play. It fuels the gameplay loop, encourages progression, and has an unlimited supply to reward active players.
Governance Token ($WILD): Designed for deeper involvement, $WILD is used in high-stakes actions like PvP battles and community governance. It represents long-term commitment and gives players influence over key decisions.
Platform Token ($WEST): Powers the ecosystem while connecting the marketplace, staking, and partner integrations under one unified financial layer.

This structure serves several key purposes:

Isolates market volatility: The gameplay economy isn’t directly impacted by outside speculation or token dumps.
Enables economic fine-tuning: Each token can be adjusted independently—if one becomes unbalanced, designers can respond without breaking the system.
Supports sustainable progression: Players can earn, spend, and engage at different levels depending on their goals—casual or competitive.

Why It Matters

In traditional games, items and currencies eventually lose value when demand stalls. But in Want3d, value is driven by player interaction and in-game consumption. If players stop using assets, those assets lose meaning—so we build mechanics that keep demand flowing:

Missions and quests that create consumption loops
Events and rewards tied to gameplay, not speculation
Adjustable exchange rates and operational incentives to stabilize the economy when needed

This approach prevents the common collapse seen in single-token, hype-driven systems and ensures that the game economy remains alive, balanced, and player-first—just like the game itself.

Play4Free and Compete2Earn

The Posse project introduces a modern take on Game Finance—where everyone, anywhere in the world, can start playing Want3d for free.

Players can choose between two modes of play:

Casual Mode: Open to everyone. No wallet, no tokens, no commitments. Just jump in and explore the game at your own pace. It’s a perfect way to try things out and get a feel for the world without pressure.
Competitive Mode: For players ready to go deeper. This mode introduces high-stakes gameplay where you can invest in gear, climb the ranked ladder, and monetize your skills by competing for rewards. It’s a gateway into the broader metaverse—but only if and when you’re ready.

We know most gamers today haven’t touched crypto—and that’s okay. That’s why we’re making it easy to start, fun to play, and entirely optional to go deeper.

No barriers. No pressure. Just the freedom to play how you want—and get rewarded when you’re ready.

3D Digital Assets With Real Utility

The NFT space is shifting—from speculative art drops to functional digital assets. At Posse Studios, we’re leaning into this evolution with 3D game-ready collectibles that do more than just look good.

Every NFT released in the Posse ecosystem is:

Fully importable into the Want3d game as a usable 3D asset
Stored on decentralized peer-to-peer infrastructure (IPFS) for transparent ownership
Downloadable by the holder, enabling use in other platforms and projects—not just within Posse

But the utility goes far beyond in-game visuals.

These assets unlock unique advantages across the ecosystem:

Participate in bounty-hunting missions (staking with narrative flair)
Gain access to whitelists, airdrops, and special events
Support causes through charity-linked assets
Qualify for future rewards through cross-project integrations

We’re not here to sell digital art with no purpose. We're here to build a functional, player-owned world—where your gear, collectibles, and status actually mean something.

Metaverse Open For Expanding

The Posse metaverse takes a different path from the walled gardens seen across Web3. Instead of isolating our world, we’re designing it to be open, extensible, and cross-community by default.

Our goal is to bring entire ecosystems together—welcoming avatars, projects, and ideas from across blockchains into one shared frontier. In our open-world desktop game, other communities will be able to bring their characters, assets, and experiences to life alongside ours.

We’re not building a metaverse just for Posse—we’re building one that thrives through collaboration.

Whether it’s joint quests, integrated collectibles, or co-hosted events, the Posse world is open for expansion. By combining cultures, gameplay, and creativity across chains, we create a richer, more vibrant world where players don’t have to choose between ecosystems—they can live in all of them.

Value-driven transparent business

The crypto space can feel like the Wild West—flooded with meme coins, quick flips, and hollow promises. In a landscape filled with scams and rug pulls, Posse Studios stands apart by building something real, rooted in transparency, and focused on long-term value.

Before launching any marketing or hype, we laid the foundation with:

A comprehensive business plan
In-depth market and financial research
A clear, actionable strategic roadmap

This isn't a side hustle or a speculative cash grab—it's a full-scale venture backed by a team of seasoned professionals.

Our core team brings together:

Software engineers, 3D artists, and game developers
Real-world experience from major tech companies and commercial projects
A diverse mix of talents—including a doctor and a geologist—who bring fresh perspectives and unconventional strengths

We’re not here to follow trends. We’re here to build a sustainable, community-aligned business that delivers both creative innovation and economic utility—with full transparency, from the start.

GameFi: DeFi Made Fun, Accessible, and Player-Owned

GameFi is doing what DeFi couldn’t—it’s bringing the next wave of users into digital ownership through something they already understand: games.

For many, their first crypto won’t come from an exchange or a finance app. It’ll come from ranking up, completing missions, or trading items in a game like Want3d. That shift expands the potential user base from crypto-native insiders to hundreds of millions of everyday players.

Back in the early DeFi days, high barriers to entry limited adoption. But GameFi flips the model:

Low barriers (free-to-play entry, familiar mechanics)
Real ownership (you earn what you own, and own what you earn)
Built-in utility (use your assets in-game—not just in your wallet)

GameFi and DeFi share the same foundational ideas—peer-to-peer systems, open markets, and user empowerment—but GameFi goes a step further:

It wraps financial infrastructure inside a playable world.

In traditional games, you could grind for hours only to be told you don’t actually own what you earned. The markets around in-game assets were often illiquid, restricted, and unreliable.

Blockchain changes that. Now:

You can truly own your gear and items
You can sell, stake, or trade them on open marketplaces
And every asset you earn has real-world interoperability and value

Want3d isn’t just a game—it’s a gateway to digital finance that feels natural, not technical. GameFi is no longer a concept. It’s a playable reality.

10 reasons in short why Posse is a top-tier choice!
