Kart Racing League is a Mario Kart-styled play-to-earn NFT racing game that will be launching on Polygon in early November 2021. With Polygon, players of Kart Racing League will benefit from the network’s low-cost and high-speed transactions.
The game’s governance token, $KRL, and their 3D Racer NFT characters are already live on Polygon. You can view their 3D NFT marketplace here: https://marketplace.kartracingleague.com/
This online multiplayer kart racing game will allow players to earn real money by winning races and tournaments. This multiverse will provide hundreds of thousands of people in the world with the opportunity to earn a living by working from home, which is something that is desperately needed given the turmoil of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This game is based on the economic model of Axie Infinity. In order to play the game, you need to own a Racer character, similar to the axies; however, with Kart Racing League you only need one NFT to play. In addition, Kart Racing League will be launching an inflationary in-game currency called Essence of Creation (or EoC), similar to Axie’s Smooth Love Potion (or SLP), and this token will also be launched on the Polygon network.
While Axie Infinity features turn-based gameplay, Kart Racing League attempts to up the ante with fast-paced engaging kart racing gameplay, using 3D NFTs compared with Axie’s 2D characters.
The team initially began the project on Ethereum, but quickly realized that the fees there made affordable gaming impossible. Prior to joining Polygon, the transaction costs for the governance token were over 20 USD per transaction. Now, after switching to Polygon, you can send your $KRL tokens for negligible fees.
The cost of using the Racer NFTs and integrating them into the kart racing game will also become negligible to the users as well by utilizing Polygon.
