The Problem
The Great Gaming Skills Waste
Daily Gaming Debates With Zero Resolution
Every gaming session ends the same way:
"I'm definitely better at FIFA than you." "Prove it." "I just did - you saw that match" "That was luck/lag/controller issues."
Result: Skills demonstrated, debates unsettled, no permanent record.
The Five Core Problems Wagyr Solves
1. Proof Problem
Gaming achievements disappear after matches end
No way to verify skill claims across platforms
Screenshots can be faked, and match history is limited
Market Impact: Billions of hours of demonstrated skill with zero permanent value
2. Monetization Problem
99.9% of skilled gamers never earn from their abilities
Only the top 0.1% reach a professional esports level
No middle-tier earning opportunities for skilled casual players
Market Impact: $80B+ in unused earning potential annually
3. Recognition Problem
Gaming skills aren't viewed as "real" achievements
No cross-platform reputation system
Accomplishments locked within individual game ecosystems
Market Impact: A Massive skilled workforce with unrecognized abilities
4. Community Problem
Gaming communities are fragmented across platforms
No unified space for skill-based social interaction
Limited ways to discover worthy opponents
Market Impact: Reduced engagement and retention across gaming platforms
5. Innovation Stagnation Problem
The gaming industry is focused on new content, not skill verification
Blockchain gaming requires learning completely new games
No bridge between traditional gaming excellence and Web3 benefits
Market Impact: Slow adoption of blockchain benefits by existing gaming communities
Real User Pain Points
The FIFA Player: "I've been playing FIFA for 10 years. I can beat anyone in my friend group, but there's no way to prove this to new people I meet online. Sometimes I win money in local tournaments, but it's rare and unpredictable."
The Chess Master: "I'm rated 1800+ online, but that rating doesn't transfer anywhere else. I'd love to earn money from my chess skills regularly, not just in occasional tournaments that require traveling."
The NBA 2K Expert: "My friends know I'm incredible at 2K, but when I play online with strangers, there's no reputation system that shows my real skill level. I have to prove myself from scratch every time."
