# Accessibility & Onboarding

### **Mobile Compatibility**

**Recognizing the dominance of mobile gaming in the current market, Beyond Earth Online is being developed with full mobile compatibility. This strategic move vastly broadens the game’s reach, tapping into the largest segment of the gaming population and ensuring accessibility to a global audience.**

### **Web 2.0 Compatibility**

**Beyond Earth Online breaks new ground in crypto gaming with its unique approach to accessibility. Unlike typical blockchain games, it doesn't necessitate a crypto wallet for participation, thereby opening the gates to a broader audience beyond the crypto-savvy. This inclusivity is pivotal in bridging the gap between traditional gamers and the burgeoning world of crypto gaming, offering a seamless transition into this innovative gaming paradigm.**

### **Free-to-Play Model**

**At its core, Beyond Earth Online is designed around a free-to-play, player-driven economy. This model is appealing as it allows players to engage with the game without upfront costs, fostering a diverse and growing community. Moreover, players have the option to purchase NFT characters, granting them full ownership and the ability to trade or profit from their in-game assets. This feature not only empowers players with true digital ownership but also integrates them into the evolving economy of the game**

### **In-Game Currency and Security**

**The game employs GOLD as its standard in-game currency, which is not reliant on blockchain transactions, thus enhancing ease of play and security. This design choice not only simplifies the gaming experience but also mitigates the risk of wallet draining by potential hackers. Furthermore, plans are in place to allow GOLD to be exchanged for an ERC-20 token in the future, once a sustainable in-game economy and player base have been established. This future integration highlights Beyond Earth Online’s commitment to evolving alongside the advancements in blockchain technology and its community’s needs.**

### **Game-First Approach**

**Beyond Earth Online adheres to a 'game-first' philosophy, ensuring that the core gameplay is engaging and entertaining before introducing play-to-earn elements. This approach prioritizes the gaming experience, making sure that fun and enjoyment remain at the forefront. The play-to-earn aspect, while integral, is not the driving force, thereby preventing the game from devolving into a play-to-win scenario and maintaining a balanced and enjoyable gaming environment.**
