Why GAIMIN?... Why Gaming?

Why GAIMIN chose the gaming industry to supply the growing demand for computing power while helping gamers make money while playing games

GAIMIN has carved out a unique niche focusing on gamers as the foundation of our decentralized computing network, to supply the growing demand for computing power globally. But why us? And why did we choose gamers to help us achieve this great mission? In this article, we will show you six reasons why targeting gamers is a game-changer for both GAIMIN and the gaming community… no pun intended!

1. The Power Within Gaming PCs

The global gaming industry is booming, with revenues projected to exceed $300 billion by 2025, according to the World Economic Forum. Gamers invest heavily in high-performance PCs, each capable of running the latest, most demanding games. But what happens when these powerful rigs aren’t being used to their maximum capacity? They sit idle, wasting vast amounts of computational power that could be put to good use, and given that every second counts in the global demand for computational power, there is a significant value gap here.

GAIMIN recognized this untapped resource and saw an opportunity. By incentivizing gamers to monetize their idle computing power, GAIMIN has created a network of distributed computing that is not only powerful but also constantly evolving.

2. Continuous Network Upgrades

Speaking of gaming computers continually evolving, gamers are constantly upgrading their PCs to keep up with the latest games. On average, they buy new hardware every four years, ensuring that their rigs are always equipped with the latest technology. This continuous cycle of upgrades means that GAIMIN’s decentralized computing network is always at the cutting edge.

Unlike traditional networks that could become outdated over time, GAIMIN’s network gets stronger and more powerful every day. Each time a gamer upgrades their PC, they contribute more advanced computational power to our network, keeping GAIMIN ahead of the curve.

3. Scalability Due to the Growing Gaming Community

The gaming community is vast and ever-growing, with projections from Statista indicating over 1.2 billion online gamers worldwide by 2027. Moreover, the average gamer is in their mid-30s—a demographic that’s both tech-savvy and financially invested in high-quality gaming setups. 

With these factors at play, the potential for scalability is immense, because as the gaming community continues to expand even with newer generations of gamers, so does GAIMIN’s network.

4. A Tech-Savvy, Passionate Community

Gamers aren’t just consumers of technology—they’re enthusiasts who understand the ins and outs of their hardware; most even buy various parts of their rig and assemble them manually themselves! This tech-savvy nature makes them ideal participants in a decentralized computing network like ours. They’re quick to adopt new technologies and are motivated to maximize the utility of their high-performance PCs.

Our platform is designed to run seamlessly in the background, allowing them to monetize their idle computing power without impacting their gaming experience. This ability to earn passive income without affecting them doing what they love is a powerful incentive that would resonate deeply with people of such interest.

5. Cost Efficiency 

One of GAIMIN’s most significant advantages lies in our ability to offer computing power that is cheaper than traditional distributed computing providers. This cost efficiency stems from the unique nature of our decentralized network: a collection of gaming PCs that are already being maintained and upgraded by their owners.

By leveraging the existing investment gamers have made in their high-performance rigs, GAIMIN can provide decentralized computing power cheaper than traditional providers. This cost advantage makes GAIMIN an attractive option for businesses that require efficient computing power while looking to minimize expenses.

6. The Perfect Blend between Gaming and Blockchain Technologies

Perhaps one of the most compelling reasons GAIMIN chose to focus on gamers is the natural synergy between gaming and blockchain ecosystems. The gaming community is already familiar with digital currencies, in-game economies, and virtual assets—all of which are foundational concepts in the world of blockchain.

Blockchain technology offers freedom, transparency, security, and decentralization—all values that resonate with gamers. Our platform leverages blockchain to reward gamers in cryptocurrency, a form of digital currency that many gamers are already comfortable using. The token rewards that gamers earn on our platform can either be withdrawn as real cash or used for purchasing in-game assets. This seamless blend of gaming and blockchain creates a perfect environment for GAIMIN and gamers in our network to thrive.

Why Gaming is Key to GAIMIN’s Mission

GAIMIN’s decision to focus on gamers as the core of our decentralized computing network strategy is driven by factors that include the untapped power within gaming PCs, scalability, cost advantages, continuous upgrades, a tech-savvy community, and the natural fit between gaming and blockchain ecosystems. 

To further strengthen our commitment to the gaming world, GAIMIN in 2022, acquired our esports team, Gaimin Gladiators (GG) which now has over 3 million global following and has become one of the best esports teams in the world, having won multiple titles in various gaming categories. This move deepens GAIMIN’s influence in the gaming and esports niche, aligning perfectly with our mission to empower and entertain gamers, integrating them into the web3 & blockchain system. 

By connecting with a passionate esports audience, GAIMIN is able to reach millions of gamers and offer them this opportunity to monetize their gaming passion while also revolutionizing the distributed computing sector.
