The Non-Fungible-Token (NFT) Landscape

Last year, the blockchain space witnessed the soaring of Decentralized Finance (DeFi); however, the NFT sector has stolen DeFi’s thunder to become the most prominent trend of 2021.

Statistically, there was an exponential growth in the NFT realm during the first quarter of 2021. In the first three months of this year, the NFT market capitalization escalated by around 1785% to $432 million according to Forbes. On top NFT platforms, the total trading volume multiplied 25 times from $30,1M in December 2020 to $226M in March 2021. More than $2 billion was spent on NFT collectibles in total.

Recent years has been witnessing an impressively significant growth of NFT trend

The mainstream media has been raving about NFTs’ novelty as well as their adoptions by celebrities and investors. In March, famous auction house Christie sold Beeple artwork with a record-breaking price of nearly $70 million. The fact that many other well-known artists are jumping on the sector with their own flagship NFTs promises to buff the hyper-growth rate of this sector even more.

After the significant expansion in the first quarter, the NFT market has shown signs of stabilizing. However, it is still expected to keep the market’s attention in the second half of 2021.

An introduction to Step Hero

What is Step Hero?

Step Hero ecosystem is the perfect combination of NFT gaming and DeFi that enables users to have fun and earn profit simultaneously. The comprehensive ecosystem is made up of a fantasy-themed role-playing game with attractive gameplay, a cross-chained NFT marketplace, NFT collectibles, and HERO token. Moreover, Step Hero also provides a social network experience with a supportive community.

Step Hero is developed by a dynamic young team passionate about blockchain in general and cryptocurrency in particular. We're game-lovers with the desire to recreate legendary characters of their childhood game in real life aligning with the 4.0 technology trend. Step Hero team took time to thoroughly study each character and create a creative NFT project, including a high liquidity marketplace and RPG game. Step Hero is the result of a proper working spirit. Our team’s ambition is to make Step Hero the best NFT game in the market.

Step Hero’s Ecosystem

Role-playing game

Step Hero is the first NFT fantasy-themed RPG game on Polgygon (previously Matic Network). The Step Hero game’s plot hinges on the post-apocalyptic war between the army of Shadows led by Lucifer — The Demon Lord and the Heroes led by archangel Gabriel. The players will play the hero roles. Their missions are fighting against the villains in battles while buffing their energy by collecting in-game items, earning money (STEP coins), and upgrading their characters.

Step Hero game players can generate revenue in a few ways:

  • They can earn award prizes once they win in Player versus Player (PvP) battles.
  • They can sell in-game items such as healing potions, power-impulse-potions, and self-crafted weapons on the marketplace for money.
  • They can upgrade their characters and trade them later. The more unique and powerful their characters are, the more profit they earn.

Hero NFT Marketplace

Hero NFTs Marketplace (HNM) is a cross-chain platform where users can easily create and exchange NFTs products.

To differentiate itself from other NFT marketplaces, our platform focuses on ensuring the NFT assets’ originality. Creators who have completed the KYC process may receive a “verified profile” status. Besides, Hero NFTs Marketplace will integrate its data with other social networks to generate creator’s digital identities associated with their wallet address. These identities help with detecting plagiarized NFTs. Moreover, every user can report copyright violation behaviors and receive rewards once HNM confirmed their suspicion. This mechanism leverages the community’s support in building a trustworthy marketplace.

HERO Collectibles

HERO Collectibles are unique, authentic and rare. Owners of Hero collectibles can decide to either bring them into their collection or sell them in the marketplace. The market price of the cards depends on their scarcity. Owners also have the right to integrate them into artwork and other blockchain related products to raise their value.

Outstanding features

Step Hero is created with the most sophisticated graphic design of world-class collectibles and a comprehensive and homogeneous NFTs ecosystem. Moreover, the NFTs marketplace is equipped with superior features that allow users to buy and sell NFTs, list other NFTs, create their own NFTs, even launch NFT auctions and join affiliate programs with an attractive commission rate for both promoters and referees. Last but not least, the project has an ultimate RPG game which obtains interesting playing rules ranging from basic levels to advanced levels.
