Crypto Gaming Rewards

Dharmesh discusses integrating cryptocurrency rewards into his word game Wordplay.com, creating a sustainable play-to-earn model funded by advertising revenue.

Key Points:

• Core Mechanism:

  • Connect players' Ethereum wallets to Wordplay
  • Convert advertising revenue into a prize pool
  • Distribute rewards to top players periodically
  • Start fresh after each payout cycle

• Revenue Source:

  • Use Google AdSense revenue (~$90,000/month) to fund player rewards
  • Creates sustainable economics without additional funding needed

• Player Experience:

  • Players can connect their crypto wallets
  • Top performers eligible for cryptocurrency rewards
  • Maintains game integrity while adding financial incentives

• Implementation:

  • Already added wallet connection capability
  • Framework ready for distributing rewards
  • Designed to be self-sustaining through ad revenue

The model creates a play-to-earn structure that doesn't rely on external funding or token economics, instead using existing advertising revenue to reward players.
