After years of evolution, the physical layer and data layer technologies of blockchain have become very mature. The years 2024-2025 will be a bull market for the entire cryptocurrency market and a period of explosive growth in the application layer. Web3 games are one of the most suitable application areas for blockchain and cryptocurrency.
Unlike other difficult-to-understand areas such as DeFi and derivatives, the concept of game coins and game items in traditional games existed long before the emergence of cryptocurrencies. This makes Web3 games a more accessible entry point for ordinary players to understand and engage with. Blockchain games will become an important catalyst for the widespread adoption of Web3 technology.
Since the second half of 2023, there have been occasional hit games in the blockchain gaming track, and the improvement in game quality is also evident. The focus of blockchain games has transitioned from the previous "Play to Earn" to "Play and Earn". The economic system and playability of games are very important indicators.

Ambitions and Plans of Age of Dino
The biggest criticism of GameFi is its short-lived nature and the inability to maintain long-term stability in the economic system. AoD directly addresses this pain point and aims to create a long-lifecycle game that can bring new experiences to all types of players, not just Web3 players, but also Web2 players.
Strategy games themselves have a more stable and solid ecosystem compared to other types of games. The number of players in strategy games may not be the highest, but each player invests the most time, energy, and assets in the game. In Aod, a series of novel features have been designed to keep players engaged. An AMM algorithm has even been introduced to establish a trading market in the system, allowing players to trade quickly and conveniently within the game.
The Age of Dinosaurs introduces some randomness to ensure ecological conservation. Just like there are many challenges in life that require strategy, patience, and thinking to achieve the best results. We try to make our game rich, colorful, vivid, and immersive. AoD aims to build a highly playable, healthy, and self-balancing economic system that can sustain the long-term operation of AoD.
According to the official roadmap, the Age of Dinosaurs will officially launch in the first half of 2024, along with the TGE of utility tokens and governance tokens.
