What’s WINk (WIN) All About? 

Gaming has been a favorite pastime for millions of people across the world. And with the blockchain, online gamers are set for an even more phenomenal experience – honest payouts, transparency, cryptographically-secured infrastructure, and more. 

Multiple blockchain-based gaming platforms have emerged in recent years, seeking to offer gamers a fundamentally different experience. WINk (formerly TRONbet), a project based on the Tron blockchain, is one such platform.

The WINk team has created an entire ecosystem to provide users with high-level gaming experiences. On the platform, developers can also build decentralized applications (DApps) with a raft of available tools.

In this article, we’ll explore the WINk platform as well as its utility token, WIN. 

How WINk Works, and Participants 

#1. Developers 

WINk features a set of development tools for developers to create high-performance DApps while the network handles the rest. Developers then pay a small fee out of their DApp income back to the system. 

#2. Community

These are users of the platform. The more a user plays, the more tokens they can earn. Users can choose their favorite DApps and stay loyal to them in exchange for rewards, promotions, and special access.

#3. Token HODLers 

Token holders are the backbone of the WINk network. DApps on the platform will share their wins with WIN holders through the “WinDrop” program, whereby users are incentivized through TRX tokens. The amount of TRX tokens awarded to a user depends on how much Win Power they hold. 

The WINk Ecosystem

The WINk team believes the future of blockchain is made of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), cryptographic voting systems, and up-to-date collaboration interfaces. This is a responsibility that WINk intends to tackle head-on by providing high-performance DApp creation tools. 

On the platform, users can choose the most premium games, with the certainty that their money is safe in a rigorously tested environment. The user community will be actively involved in projects and have a say on what updates to be made. 

With that, the WINk ecosystem will support the following features.

#1. Developer Portal

WINk will enable the latest software development kits, application programming interfaces, and the latest technology to seamlessly connect everything. This photo will also feature tools for developers to use the blockchain, join mining pools, use social tools, and more. With these, both experienced and beginner developers can enjoy the creative process – for the benefit of the whole network. 

#2. DApp Store

The DApp store is where developers will deploy their DApps distribution. If a DApp passes the approval, it will be listed in the store. The editorial team at WINk will also review DApps and provide feedback to users from time to time. 

Developers can also pay for ads on the DApps to attract new users to their games. Part of the payment will go to WIN holders based on how much Win Power they have. 

#3. Payment Services

Developers can deploy WINk’s payment service into their applications, making for easy and frictionless payments. And users can make payments with crypto, as well as with their credit and debit cards. They can also withdraw their crypto to Fiat money at any time. 

#4. Wallet 

The WINk team will create first-class wallet services that are optimized for the WINk ecosystem and community. There’s also plans to expand access for the platform so that any crypto holder, no matter which crypto it is, can take part in the ecosystem. 

#5. Regulatory Compliance

The WINk team will play by the regulations for different jurisdictions and obtain the requisite licenses to operate in these jurisdictions. This is geared towards preventing the platform from being shut down by authorities and so that the platform continues to provide value to gaming fans all over the world.
