AFKDAO is a decentralized protocol designed to accelerate the growth of play-to-earn ecosystems.

It aims to give potential investors a straightforward path into investment opportunities tied to gaming and metaverse initiatives, using initial game-asset offerings and automated play-to-earn approaches-connecting gaming teams, guilds, and players from the start of a project.

AFKDAO is built around four parts: Game Asset Launchpad, Game Aggregator, NFT Liquidity Protocol and DAO governance. The protocol acts as a smart interface for individuals to join play-to-earn activities, helps projects launch and develop their in-game economies, and allows skilled players to earn and stand out.

Through the IGO Launchpad, AFKDAO participants can mint badges that unlock early access to game asset NFTs. Whitelisted guilds and pro-gamers can also create their own staking pools, letting NFT holders lend their game assets and receive yield generated across different games and play-to-earn strategies. With the delegator protocol, anyone holding ERC-721 or ERC-1155 game assets can make them available for on-chain lending. Borrowers can use the NFTs for play-to-earn, while owners are not exposed to losing their assets. Returns are distributed automatically to all parties.

With DAO governance, AFKDAO members vote on treasury-related decisions, such as which games and NFTs are approved as investment targets in the game aggregator, and how treasury fees are applied or redistributed.
