The Free-to-Own model is a new approach to gamefi that empowers players by providing them with true ownership of in-game assets and content without any upfront cost. Unlike traditional Play-to-Earn games where players can only access the game after making in-game purchases, the Free-to-Own model goes a step further.
Players have the opportunity to acquire and permanently own NFTs, such as avatars or equipments, without spending any money upfront. These assets can be earned through gameplay, achievements, or other in-game activities. Once acquired, players have complete ownership rights over these assets, allowing them to freely use, trade, sell, or even earn from them outside of the game ecosystem.
SENSAI is built around the Free-to-Own model to bridge the demographic gap between Web2 and Web3 users, facilitating the transition and adoption of decentralized technologies by a broader audience. Here's how it achieves this:
Inclusive Access: All financial barriers are elimited to start playing the game by offering free access to the game via NFTs (when completing educational or game achievement components). This approach encourages users from various demographics, including those who may not be familiar with blockchain or cryptocurrency, to explore and engage with Web3-powered experiences.
Tangible Ownership: By granting players true ownership of in-game assets through Ethereum / Bitcoin Ordinal NFTs, users can have a stake in web3 without the barriers of understanding web3. This helps bridge the gap between traditional digital goods in Web2 games and the novel ownership paradigm offered by Web3 technologies.
Familiar Gameplay: SENSAI leverages familiar Web2 gameplay mechanics within an existing genre that will be familiar to a wide range of users. By offering a seamless transition in terms of gameplay, SENSAI will attract users from diverse backgrounds, helping them embrace the benefits of Web3 without a steep learning curve.
User-Friendly Onboarding: The onboarding experience will completely have the feel of a typical Web2 game, except under the hood some elements will be powered by Web3 technology. For example, creating an account will be as simple as signing in via SSO; however, a Web3 address will automatically be generated and tied to this account already giving users entry to this Web3 world. This approach lowers the barrier for entry and encourages users from all demographics to participate.
Education and Awareness: SENSAI will include minimal educational resources to raise awareness about Web3 technologies without being overbearing. By providing accessible information, SENSAI will help demystify blockchain and convert users who may be initially unfamiliar with the concept.
By incorporating these elements, the Free-to-Own model acts as a bridge between the existing Web2 user base and the emerging Web3 ecosystem. It offers a user-friendly and familiar experience while gradually introducing the benefits and possibilities of decentralized technologies. Through inclusive access, tangible ownership, and rewarding gameplay, SENSAI will help reach an untapped market and bridge the demographic gap, making Web3 more accessible to a broader range of users.
Web2 users are an untapped market for Web3 adoption, being able to educate and convert Web2 users in a seamless and fun experience will allow for a stronger & dedicated playerbase. This can be done through a reward process where users can earn Loot Boxes. There will be two major educational components:

SENSAI, with its gamefi focus, offers two distinct experiences that cater to different audiences. The first experience revolves around the immersive gameplay, while the second provides a captivating art tool through its AI-powered selfie upload art generator. The art tool, in particular, holds great allure for a specific demographic—non-gamers. To further engage and reward these users, it becomes essential to educate them about the gameplay elements (which is the utility of the art itself), creating a seamless connection between art and gaming.
Education plays a crucial role in this process. Through informative tutorials and intuitive guides, SENSAI provides non-gamers with a comprehensive understanding of the gameplay dynamics, showcasing how the art they create seamlessly integrates into the gaming experience. By highlighting the utility of their artwork—such as using it as in-game assets, collectibles, or even selling them on art marketplaces—SENSAI enhances the value proposition for this demographic, further enticing them to explore and engage with the gameplay elements.
For users seeking a deeper understanding of how blockchain technology shapes the SENSAI platform, educational content awaits. By immersing themselves in this educational journey, users not only gain insights into the intricacies of blockchain but also unlock exciting rewards in the form of Loot Boxes, which enable the minting of free NFT Avatars.
Through this rewarding system, SENSAI creates a symbiotic relationship between education and user engagement. Users are encouraged to expand their knowledge, fostering a deeper appreciation for the underlying technology, while also reaping the benefits of exclusive NFT Avatars. It is a win-win scenario that empowers users to grow alongside SENSAI's blockchain ecosystem.
Once users step into the meta-evolving gameplay ecosystem of SENSAI, a world of consistent rewards awaits them. Through active participation in gameplay and regular check-ins, users have the opportunity to earn enticing Loot Boxes on a weekly basis. These Loot Boxes hold the promise of exclusive digital assets, ranging from unique character avatars to rare in-game items, all of which carry inherent value within the SENSAI ecosystem. By establishing a system of consistent rewards, SENSAI fosters an environment of engagement and long-term immersion. Users are motivated to keep exploring, mastering gameplay mechanics, and connecting with other players, knowing that their efforts will be recognized and rewarded.
