What is known about CRETA NEXUS
CRETA NEXUS is a support program that allows creators to present their project ideas to the world and seek development support from a wide global community. The program offers rewards to project backers, such as early access, limited editions, game items, and revenue-based benefits from the project.
In CRETA NEXUS, the incubation process works on an “all-or-nothing” basis, meaning that the success or failure of a project is determined by whether the set fundraising goal is achieved within the specified period. Project support is only established if the target amount is reached during the fundraising period and transactions with backers occur. Additionally, funding is primarily carried out using CRETA tokens. “I recently came across the NEXUS program offered by CRETA and was intrigued by this unique initiative within the cryptocurrency platform. It allows for challenging projects that may not be feasible on conventional gaming platforms. It’s evident from the team at CRETA that they prioritize the fun and excitement of gaming. Therefore, I’ve decided to propose a project that I’ve secretly planned, and which could potentially be one of the achievements of my game development career. I’m excited about the possibilities and eagerly anticipate the support and expectations from everyone involved.” – commented Yoshiki Okamoto
