TLDR

Wage is mobile strategy game developed by Xsauce Inc. Players create a virtual portfolio that consists of 3 assets that compete head-to-head against another user for a day known as a match. The portfolio with the higher percentage growth at the end of the match is the winner. During the match players can deploy perks to give their portfolio an edge. Wage combines elements of alternative assets, collectible card games, finance, and sports betting. It features a ranking system, tournaments, and a turf functionality where players can join forces with others.

How We Do This?

We facilitate matches through our strategic data partners. When a player selects their 3 assets, we fetch the current prices and mark it down as their starting portfolio value. We do the same at the end of the game to resolve who won the match. At anytime a player can check the score of the game which will show the current value of their portfolio.
