Ultra Project Review - The Future of Games Distribution

Ultra plainly state themselves "the quantity and the quality of games available on Ultra will define the pace at which the platform will grow" and this couldn't ring any more true. Having gone through this project in detail and having received an in depth preview of the platform, we have very little doubt the tech will not be the limiting factor when it comes to use and adoption of the platform.

Network effect is often an overused term in crypto, however Ultra has done an incredible job of ensuring all participants in the Ultra ecosystem are correctly incentivised and rewarded for their participation. This strategy is extended out to Ultra's partnership plans, in which local operators will act as "franchisees" further extending both the reach of the platform and the content contained within. Game Developers = Games = Users.

Ultra isn't going to be something that takes down Steam overnight, in fact it will probably take some time to compete in any meaningful fashion, however out of all the gaming blockchain projects we've used and reviewed, Ultra stands heads and shoulders above the rest with it's compelling use of blockchain technology combined with a mature tech stack that offers several unique and compelling selling points past "blockchain".

in-depth review from WolfCrypto will help you to understand better Ultra.
Here a little bit more of our powerful SDK!

Cloud Code only available on Ultra:
"Cloud code allows developers to leverage in-game variables on the fly, meaning core game mechanics can be adjusted via cloud code without having to release a full patch update of the game. If you’ve ever had to download an update on Playstation or Xbox, I’m sure you can see the value here. No more 12GB PUBG downloads for minor item adjustments!"

Edward has a long history in games, working as the Senior Manager of Consumer Games at Apple, reporting directly to Steve Jobs, he also launched the Mac gaming market and was instrumental in proving that games would be a money-making line item for the hardware giant.

“I’ve seen both sides; worked for big companies like Dell and Time Warner, and with very promising startups too,” says Mike. “For me, what Ultra is doing with blockchain will be both a revolutionary data construct and a foundational cryptocurrency service enabling us to provide a great user experience.”

“We’re enabling much more than just buying and selling games. As a platform Ultra will reward gamers for actions ranging from beta testing and bug hunting to interacting with ads, social sharing and more. It’s a shared value system that enriches the entire Ultra ecosystem — gamers and developers. That’s our advantage over the competition.”

Here a bit more about our Token Factory for Game devs!

"there are several options that can be set for NFT’s. Firstly, a developer can chose if the NFT is tradable or not. If it is, the item can be openly traded on the Ultra marketplace. The developer can also set the timing of when a NFT is available and what resale revenue share they receive when it’s traded on a secondary marketplace."

Ultra Review by Midgard Reseach.

Overall, we like the idea of the project and its almost completed product that might break the current game distribution monopoly. Ultra creates a revolutionary blockchain-based ecosystem for games distribution with various game-related 3rd party services.

The team consists of all-star executives and prominent advisors. The team is experienced in product and business development, marketing, tech, and after all gaming industry, that is very important for further growth.

The product has almost done and we saw it’s beta that looks impressive. Further loud partnerships and more game-developers involved in the platform will increase its potential and position on the market.

Tokenomics looks solid, lock-up and vesting terms for seed/private are reasonable. Moreover, the token price for seed/private rounds is higher than IEO token price. The only concern is Ethfinex exchange that is pretty new and does not have a significant customer base and volumes. Hope the token will be listed on other exchanges (a significant amount of funds and tokens is allocated for exchanges).

The hype around of project and it’s awareness increases fast. We are waiting for IEO and the project further progress.

VERDICT: 9.5 out of 10
