Ultra: With the public launch of Ultra Arena, we look at the barriers that this competitive platform has to overcome in the current esports environment, while showcasing the advantages it provides to players and game developers.
Current problems facing e-sports
The esports industry has grown rapidly in recent years, but the barriers to entry for amateur and casual gamers have remained largely unchanged. These types of gamers often encounter issues with accessibility and user experience when looking for a platform where they can compete and win prizes.
While there are multiple competition platforms available, most of them are third-party platforms with cumbersome management processes that can be inconvenient for players. Entering teams, scoring, and claiming prizes is often a time-consuming and tedious task. This can put off many players from participating in competitions, especially those who are new players or those who are not as experienced as experienced players.
Unfortunately, the esports industry has traditionally focused on the highest levels of competition, focusing primarily on professional players who have access to lucrative prize pools and the world stage. This has left amateur and casual players with fewer opportunities to compete at a competitive level, and without the opportunity to work their way up to the top through hard work and improvement.
To address these challenges, there needs to be a competition platform that is easy to use and accessible to all players, regardless of their skill level. This platform should offer a simplified user experience, with intuitive navigation and clear instructions for registering, entering competitions, reporting results, and claiming prizes. It should also provide an engaging community experience where players can connect and share their passion for the game.
In addition, the platform should provide players with a range of rewards and incentives, including privilege-based assets, trophies, and currency rewards. This will encourage more players to participate in competitions and work hard to improve their skills, thereby creating a more competitive and vibrant gaming community.
Ultra Arena is here - an eSports app based on Ultra
Ultra Arena solves all the pain points around esports and simplifies the process for all players who participate in competitive gaming. Ultra Arena is one of the four core applications within the Ultra platform, the other three being Ultra Games, Uniq Marketplace, and Ultra Wallet. Through these four applications, players can find all their gaming needs: games, assets, competitions, and secure wallets.
Let’s highlight some of the problems Ultra Arena currently solves for players:
Accessibility of competitive games
Many current esports setups involve third-party platforms, which can be frustrating and time-consuming. However, with Ultra Arena, players can easily sign up for tournaments using their Ultra account, eliminating the need to create an account and log in multiple times.
An interface designed for everyone
Another key factor that makes Ultra Arena stand out is having a user-friendly interface. Unlike other eSports platforms that can be complex and difficult for new players to navigate, Ultra Arena, like other Ultra apps, is designed to be easy to use.
A new platform for earning rewards and bonuses
The process of claiming rewards using current competition platforms is often long and frustrating. It is almost always a manual process that requires completing multiple activities to get paid. Ultra Arena provides a solution to this problem by integrating with Ultra Wallet. The tool provides an extremely efficient and stress-free claiming process for rewards after successful competitions. With Ultra Wallet, no third-party details are required and prizes are sent directly to the winner's wallet after the competition ends.
How Ultra Arena Benefits Gamers
Ultra Arena aims to set a new standard for esports tournament platforms. Through the slogan “esports for everyone”, the app aims to make esports tournaments more accessible to anyone. Here’s where Arena has the potential to revolutionize any player’s experience in gaming.

Ultra Arena is for game developers and organizers
Like Uniq Marketplace and Ultra Games, Ultra Arena will be another powerful tool for developers to drive game growth and entertainment communities. By engaging players through an in-game competitive environment, Arena aims to make this goal possible for any game developer. Let’s look at some of the core benefits Arena provides to developers:
Marketing Tools
Arena has great potential as a powerful marketing tool to promote new games for game developers and host tournaments for existing games, while introducing a whole new era of rewards and benefits with attractive prize pools. Through these innovative features, Arena can help both established and emerging games attract a wave of new players.
New revenue streams
Unlock new revenue streams by hosting tournaments on Arena and incorporating attractive prize pools into an innovative tournament framework. With our Uniq Prize Pool, developers and organizers can join in royalties and profit from secondary sales of rewards. In addition, organizers have the opportunity to generate revenue through tournament registrations, advertising, and a variety of other avenues. This new approach opens up exciting possibilities for growth.
Reward participants like never before
With our Uniq Token Standard, developers and organizers gain unprecedented flexibility to build a new era of token-based rewards for players. These tokens can provide in-game advantages or forward-looking incentives tied to content such as DLC, new games, etc. Such engaging rewards have the potential to foster strong player loyalty and create a thriving gaming community.
