WHAT IS GAMICO? A REVOLUTIONARY ADDITION TO THE GAMING INDUSTRY Gamico is a platform where gamers can earn a living by playing video games. Gamers and game fanatics will be able to play, compete, and more importantly monetise their skills and time spent on playing their favourite video games. Gamico players will be able to earn Gamico tokens (GMC) by playing tournaments, H2H games, unlocking game achievements, tapping into social features, and exchanging their GMC for other cryptocurrencies. The eSports market has seen significant growth in the past decade, thanks to an increased interest from fans and boosts in brand investments. In 2016, the global eSports market was valued at nearly US$493 million, and global eSports revenue is projected to reach US$1.49 billion in 2020.

PROBLEMS FACED BY GAMERS As lucrative and as tempting as it may sound for every gamer to jump on this bandwagon, the current environment poses many obstacles for the average gamer to win a slice of the pie.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Gamico is a platform where gamers can earn a living by playing video games. From hyper casual mobile games to multiplayer online battle arena games. Gamers and game fanatics will be able to play, compete, and more importantly monetize their skills and time spent on playing their favourite video games. The eSports market has been growing exponentially over the past decade, due to the increasing interest of fans and the subsequent boost in brand investments, In 2016, the global eSports market was valued at nearly 493 million U.S. dollars. According to the source's estimates, global eSports market revenue will reach 1.49 billion U.S. dollars in 2020. As the industry matures, and incorporates an increasing number of events, leagues and media right deals, the average revenue per fan is anticipated to grow from $3.67 in 2017 to $5.20 by 2020. Despite the growth, this is still a factor 3 lower than a popular sports such as basketball, and a factor 12 lower than the most commercial league in the world, the NFL. Furthermore, a deeper examination of the market reveals that the eSports market is skewed, and that the top 3% of the players of the gaming community receives 90% of investment and prize money in eSports. Additionally, most of the eSports revenue goes to only a handful of games, such as DOTA, League of Legends, Counter-Strike and FIFA. This means that only a limited number of gamers will be able to support themselves financially, and even fewer will be able to have a lucrative career being an eSports gamer. Right now, one of the main ways in which gamers can make a living playing games is by sharing gaming content online. The top gaming‐related video star is PewDiePie, with 40 million subscribers, and number two is VanossGaming, with 15 million subscribers. They may be the biggest stars, but collectively gaming videos make up more than 10 percent of YouTube’s top performing channels. However, we would argue that there’s no direct correlation from the popularity of the content, and eSports, as most channels are built for entertainment purposes. So far, much of the online gaming audience is more comparable to fans of the Harlem Globetrotters (people who are entertainers, who happen to play basketball) rather than to fans of a successful pro basketball team who plays to win a championship. With the current environment, it’s hard to be a professional eSports gamer. Gamico is going to change that. Gamico is here to revolutize the gaming industry. With the introduction of Gamico, gamers can play any games they want, and solely focus on their gaming skill, while fulfilling their dream of having a lucrative career playing their favourite games.

THE SOLUTION: GAMICO

With Gamico, players all around the world will be able to make a good living playing their favourite games. The Gamico platform will also introduce a groundbreaking feat for gamers worldwide: game result verification via blockchain technology. Gamers will be able to compete in high level, high stake tournaments or challenge other players in H2H matches. Most importantly, winners on Gamico will be awarded GMC tokens that can be traded for high-value cryptocurrencies, thus enabling them to monetise their skills and time spent playing video games. In order to meet the demands of all types of gamers, we will work to integrate the Gamico ecosystem with the widest possible variety of games - with anything from eSports to casual games and mobile console games - so that gamers from all walks of life will be able to enjoy the benefits of playing games to make a living. Furthermore, our platform’s features will allow them to attract new fans/followers, acquire the exposure needed for new sponsorships and endorsements, and open new doors to take their careers further.

Disclaimer: No games are included with the install of Gamico.

TOURNAMENTS As mentioned above, we believe that the lack of tournaments and prize money is the biggest problem for eSports. This is why tournaments will be the point of emphasis for the Gamico platform. Gamico will host many tournaments on a daily basis, to ensure that players on different levels, playing different games will have a place to compete and earn GMC. There will be different type of tournaments on Gamico where user will be able to compete. Type 1: Buy In Tournament Players will pay a fee upfront, which then would make up for a majority of the prize pool. This format is completely peer-to-peer and hence these tournaments can be set up frequently, allowing gamers at different levels to compete at a higher rate. Tournament will run in different formats such as single elimination, double elimination, round-robin and round-robin split. 95% of the buy-in will be distributed to the prize pool, while 3% and 2% will be distributed to the platform, and the game developer respectively. Type 2: Head to Head Battle/ SitNGo Battle Designed for people who is looking for a quick game, head to head battle (H2H) and SitNGo is projected to be the most popular option. Instead of waiting for others to complete their matches, all you need to do in a H2H Battle or a SnG Battle, is to get matched up against opponent(s) who are willing to play at the same stake, win the match, and get instantly paid off. Type 3: Freeroll Tournament Freeroll tournament does not require any entry fee. On Gamico, we will run freeroll tournaments regularly for all games on offer. All players especially beginners and newbies will be able to compete, and have a first taste of the tournament experience, while also taking home some prize GMC, of course. We will also run a number of big prize pool freeroll tournaments, at our platform launch. We may also run these tournaments when we launch a new game, all of this with the effort to attract new players, and allowing them to realize their eSports fantasies. Type 4: Sponsored Tournament In these tournaments, our brand sponsors will contribute to the prize pool with GMC Tokens, along with products and services. Instead of buying in with GMC tokens, players may need to complete one/more advertising CTA for the brand (e.g. sharing their website to their Facebook), in order to register their spot for the tournament.

9

https://gamico.io/






Type 5: Single Player Challenge This is most suitable for single-player games such as puzzle and arcade games. In this type of tournaments, user will not compete with other players. Instead, user will play offline, after the user completes the game, Gamico will compare his/her scores, to all scores stored on our blockchain submitted by all other players prior. The smart contract on blockchain will then reward the users based on their performance in the game. A simple payout algorithm would be using %tile to reward the user. E.g. If the user’s score is better than 90% of all players who played the game, he/she will earn a certain amount of GMC.

ACHIEVEMENT & MILESTONE BOUNTY Tournaments will not be the only way players are able to earn GMC. Gamico will also offer bounties for various game achievements and milestones. Some serious, some causal, some funny. We believe that this feature will be a fun additional to our gamers’ experience. It could be “Scoring the most headers” in FIFA 18 to “Unlocking access to the Outlander Hero” in Fortnite. We want to increase the thrill of gaming, and we believe that rewarding gamers with achievements bounty is the way to go.

OFFICIAL RANKING & GAMER PROFILE Ranking is an important part of Gamico, and all games offer on Gamico will have an official ranking, which is a direct indication on the player’s skills and performance. After participating in a tournaments, user will receive not only GMC tokens, but also ranking points which would contribute to the game’s player ranking. This ranking is essential as there are exclusive tournaments would require a certain ranking for entry. All gamers on Gamico will have an exclusive gamer profile, which would store and present the user’s game records, achievements, ranking, all other relevant information across all our partnered games. Furthermore, we will integrate their video contents from platform such as Youtube and Twitch to their official gamer profile, and allowing them to use Gamico as their central hub when it comes to their gaming career. The above mentioned features could help our gamers significantly when it comes to attracting new fans and followers, who could offer donations for their appreciation. In addition, players could take advantage of these social features to attract brands and companies to offer sponsorships and other business opportunity, which could enable them to take their gaming career to another level.

RESULT VERIFICATION BY GAMICO COMMUNITY While we are partnering with many different games, many games we offer still does not direct integration with our platform. Because of this, we expect to roll out a community feature, which allows the community to get rewarded for verifying match results in the event of a dispute. Gamers are required to record/stream the match to Youtube or Twitch, and submit the link of the video along with the game result as an evidence of the result.

10

https://gamico.io/






If there is a dispute regarding the final result of the game, we would create a job ticket for the community. Members of the community can then watch the clips, and submit their version of the result. After a specific results is submitted to the point where it reaches statistical significance, then we will use the result as a final score, and those who submitted the statistical significant result will receive a reward of GMC tokens. Here’s an example:

● Johnny and Tom starts a 100 GMC Stake H2H Battle for FIFA 18 ● They play, and stream the match on Twitch ● After match is over, they submit their score, and the video link to Gamico ● Johnny reported the score of “2-1 Johnny”, and Tom reported the score of “3-0 Tom” ● A job of match verification is created, and is pushed to the Gamico platform ● Mary, a gamer looking to earn free GMC, watches the videos, and submit a score of “2-1 Johnny” ● Mary, along with 7 others also agree to the score of “2-1 Johnny” ● Mary, and those who submitted the score of “2-1 Johnny” will then receive a reward of 1 GMC each. Those who

submitted other score will not receive any GMC There will also be an integrity score on the gamer’s profile. This score indicates, how often the player has been on the wrong side of the dispute, and it’s an indication on the user’s integrity and respect for fair play. The score will be important, as our platform may restrict some users’ participation to the platform due to their low integrity score.

SDK & DEVELOPER PORTAL In addition to introducing new eSports games to our ecosystem. We will release our official software development kit (SDK), and developer portal for mobile game developers and publishers, to integrate their games with Gamico, thus allowing more people to enter eSports, and have a chance to earn a living playing their favourite games.

WAGERING Wagering is a feature that allows the spectualars to bet on or against a player. Unlike traditional betting sites, every user can set up a wager that he thinks it is fair/profitable for other users to bet on. This changes the economy of wagering and allows everyone to set up a fair market of bet. The Wagering Smart Contract ensures the winner get paid accurately and instantaneously when result is available. Users can be confident to bet on the wagers on Gamico platform. Set Up the Wager

- Odds - Result of Match - Maximum Bet Accepted

Once the wager is set up, users will be able to view all available wagers, and can make a decision on which wager to bet on.

STAKING This feature allows our users to support players on Gamico financially, and at the same time, get a profitable return on their investment. Instead of playing, watching, and wagering on Gamico, users can now also stake a player or invest in a player, in exchange for a percentage of their winnings. This is extremely helpful for players who can only afford to play at lower stakes, as the opportunity to play at a higher stake, would allow to players to make more GMC. Backers can also enjoy a nice return on investment, if the player succeed and wins. In this type of deal, the backer will pay for a part or all of the player’s entry fee to the tournament, in exchange for a player’s profit in the tournament. For example. Backer A pays the entry fee of 10,000 GMC for Player A, in exchange for 50% of prize money Player A wins in that tournament.

SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE Gamico platform is a decentralized app running on the blockchain. It makes use of the smart contracts deployed on the blockchain to perform transactions involving transfer of GMC. Non-transactional, informative functions (e.g. viewing gamer profile, listing tournaments) will be served by Gamico Server. Components dApp Client A decentralized app client (dApp client) provides a GUI for users to interact with the smart contracts and the Gamico Server to access all features stated in previous section. It is responsible for:

● Account creation ● Sign in ● Account management ● Wallet management ● Game list ● Chat ● Ranking ● Tournament participation ● Dispute resolution ● Future Features

Smart Contracts Smart contacts enable Gamico platform to actualize our core value, public escrow and data integrity. By using these smart contracts, the transfer of GMC is auditable and undisputable. The smart contracts are open source and deployed on the blockchain upon release of Gamico platform. Tournament Smart Contract Tournament Smart Contract defines the framework of a tournament. It is designed in an extensible pattern to allow future development on new tournament structure. It enables users to

● Create tournament ● View tournament ● Join tournament ● Assign bracket ● Submit match result ● Receive payout

Buy Token Smart Contract Buy Token Smart Contract allows users to buy GMC without having account in specific cryptocurrency exchange. It detects the payments from credit card payment gateway and calculates the corresponding amount of GMC. It will immediately send the GMC to the user from our wallet. At the same time, it will buy GMC from the exchange so as to even out the surplus.

19

https://gamico.io/






Bounty Smart Contract Bounty Smart Contract is a generic extensible framework to determine the community work done and pay out the bounty. It enables users to

● Create bounty ● Submit work proof ● Receive payout

Dispute Resolution Smart Contract Dispute Resolution Smart Contract handles the dispute resolution process triggered by the inconsistency in results submitted by the players of a match. This smart contract

● Reserves part of the prize pool as reward ● Resolves dispute when 7 users give unanimous approval to one of the result submitted by the players ● Rewards the users who helped to resolve dispute ● Deducts the integrity score of the player who submitted the wrong result

Wagering Smart Contract Wagering Smart Contract allows non-players to set up and bet on a wager. This allows everyone to set up a fair market of wager. It ensures the winner get paid accurately and instantaneously when result is available. Donation Smart Contract Donation Smart Contract allows gamers to raise fund from other users so that he has enough GMC to join a certain tournament. Staking Smart Contract Staking Smart Contract enables users to support players to participate tournament and share the prize pool. It provides a way for players to choose to receive support from other users by promising them a reward upon victory. It defines the

● Tournament to be participated ● Maximum stake accepted ● Reward structure

It automatically reward the supporters upon the confirmation of result. Gamico Server Gamico Server will be responsible for storing and providing information about gamers, teams, tournaments and results. It acts as a complementary database to the transactions on blockchain. For instance, the timestamp, user IDs, transaction amount, tournament ID and match ID (crucial data) are hashed as “keyHash”. The other details like match statistics, tournament rules, user profiles are hashed as “detailHash”. The raw data of all information are stored in the Gamico Server while the crucial data, “keyHash” and “detailHash” are stored on the Blockchain. It decreases the payload in blockchain and latency in retrieving data. When a user views the history of a tournament, he could be confident the match data is genuine and unaltered. keyHash = hash(tournament ID + user IDs + timestamp + match ID)

detailHash = hash(match statistics + tournament rules + user profiles +

keyHash)

20

https://gamico.io/






Blockchain stores: tournament ID, user IDs, timestamp, match ID, keyHash,

detailHash

This enables gamers to leverage the support from fans to earn more in tournaments. Wagering and Betting For example, a user “A” sets up a wager to bet on team “X” to win a certain tournament with 3 to 1 odds and accepts up to 300 GMC bet.

BLOCKCHAIN TRANSACTION SCHEMA Data Integrity and security of tokens are key to Gamico’s operation and success. Thus, as mentioned above, all key functions, such as tournaments, bounty, are ran on Smart Concerts, and all key data are recorded, and emitted by the blockchain. In order for our dApp client to work, the Gamico server will subscribe to the blockchain transactions, emitted events, announcements, and would record and map critical data from our database. This way, all key Gamco activities are recorded, and all token transactions are traced and accounted for. Events and Properties to be submitted to the Blockchain The following is a list of events and properties that will be emitted to the Blockchain by the smart contract.

GAMICOIN (GMC): THE OFFICIAL CURRENCY FOR GAMICO Gamicoin (GMC) is the official, exclusive currency for Gamico. Player will use and win this currency when they are on Gamico. Basic Information GMC is an ERC20 token issued on Ethereum, the name is "Gamicoin", and the symbol is "GMC". GMC will support 18 decimal places, and will be developed using solidity with version 0.4.19. Supply There will be total 100,000,000 GMC issued, 60,000,000 GMC will be up for sale during the ICO, any unsold GMC will be burned after ICO, amd no more GMC will be issued after ICO.

GAMICOIN (GMC) ECONOMICS Simple Economics It’s very simple.

● Players buy GMC when they want to play in Gamico ● Players sell GMC when they want to cash out, and exchange GMC to other cryptocurrencies or fiat money

1 GET GAMICO TOKENS Buy them on Gamico, refer friends, participate in promotions, or receive from other

wallets

2 USE TOKENS TO BUY IN AND PLAY Choose from 4 game modes: buy in tournaments, freeroll tournaments, sponsored tournaments, and single-player mode

3 WIN MORE TOKENS The more practice you get, the better your skills, and the more tokens you can earn

4 EXCHANGE FOR OTHER CRYPTOS Acquire other cryptocurrencies from the exchange market with little to no risk, even if you are a crypto-novice

Value Appreciation Holders of GMC post ICO will benefit from an increase in the price of GMC, as demands for the token increase. The only way for any player to play on Gamico is to buy tokens, so as Gamico acquires more users, and integrate with more games, we will expect the price of GMC to appreciate, giving early adopters more playing power on Gamico.

https://gamico.io/






Proxy System One of the main concern that we have when we are building Gamico, is that we believe the barrier of entry for people to acquire our tokens from the crypto-exchanges, and then send it to the Gamico App Wallet, is too high, and it would not convert a lot of players who are not already experienced in the cryptocurrency world. Hence, we are going to have a proxy system which will lower the barrier of entry of crypto-novice, and allow anyone who likes the concept of playing on Gamico to have a chance to try, and succeed. We are going allow people to buy GMC on Gamico using credit cards (using market rate), and then we will work with our partnered exchanges, to proportionately buy GMC back from players who are looking to cash out from Gamico. This system will sustain the economics of GMC (avoiding any surplus in the system), while converting more users, hence increasing the demand of GMC. We will allocate 5,000,000 GMC for this proxy system, and to ensure that everyone has a chance to succeed as a professional gamer.

ICO INFORMATION There will be 60,000,000 GMC allocated for public during sales with soft-cap of USD 5,000,000. GMC Purchasers who participate early will receive additional bonus GMC.
