Wicket Gaming intends to implement "Play-to-Earn" functionality in Cricket Manager Pro

Wicket Gaming AB (publ) has begun investigating the possibility of preparing the game for the third generation internet (Web 3.0). This new version of the internet is based on the concepts of decentralization, transparency and improved player benefits. By implementing Web 3.0, Cricket Manager Pro could offer so-called play-to-earn functionality in the future, meaning that players will be able to create monetary assets in the game via blockchain technology.

Wicket Gaming currently has ongoing dialogues with major blockchain technology players. This in order to discuss how Play-to-Earn technology could be implemented in the game and within what time frames this could be done.

A possible extension of the game could be, for example, the release of so-called NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, based on a predefined blockchain technology. These NFTs could be owned and refined by the game's users as they achieve success with their cricket teams and associated players.

In a comment, Wicket Gaming's CEO Eric de Basso says:

"We believe that blockchain technology and Play-to-Earn will be central features in future game development. Our ambition is therefore to be a pioneer in implementing this technology in manager games and thereby contribute to a greater interest and commitment around Cricket Manager Pro."
