Introducing Wemix Pay
Wemix Pay is a new payment system set to launch in the second half of 2024. It will reward users with Prime Points, which can be used to access VIP passes, NFTs, and airdrops. Wemix Pay will be integrated into major Wemix Play games, enhancing utility and demand within the platform.
In-Game Currency $PLAY Token
The PLAY token will be tied to actual in-game revenue and will be minted only when users engage with Wemix Pay. It will be required for purchasing certain items in games such as Night Crows. To prevent inflation, PLAY tokens will be burned after use. Users can earn PLAY tokens alongside Prime Points through Wemix Pay.
