Project Information CloudMoolah is a payment system integrated with Unity Technologies’ game development software (Unity Editor), that enables payments within games using popular payment systems as well as MOO tokens. The CloudMoolah system also supports payments for Unity-made Android apps. CloudMoolah combines payment methods such as telco cards, prepaid cards, e- banking and the upcoming MOO token. In addition, the project plans to create an app store called the MOO Store. The integration of CloudMoolah with Unity will enable game developers to place their products in the MOO Store. This will give them access to more than 100 million players in Southeast Asia through more than 500,000 points of sale. The payment system also enables the monetization of games.

Summary
The project is based on a payment aggregator for online games, combining several
payment systems.
Strengths of the project:
• the team has experienced advisors and partners.
• initial investments have been received.
• the project design has already been presented.
• markets selected by the project demonstrate high growth rates.
Weaknesses of the project:
• The team has not submitted a marketing strategy for the project entering the
Asian market.
Market and Industry According to Digi-Capital, mobile gaming revenues will have increased from $29 billion in 2015 to $45 billion by 2018, with an annual growth rate of 15%. Furthermore, Asia dominates the market, accounting for 50% of total profits. Since the company is also creating a marketplace, it is also necessary to analyze this segment of the market. Statista’s data shows that Google Play’s and the App Store’s revenues from the sale of apps and mobile games grew by 52% in a year ($12.5 billion). [https://www.digi-capital.com/reports/#global-games-investment-review], [https://www.statista.com/statistics/661521/global-app-stores-mobile-games- revenue/]
According to the team's analysis, the volume of the gaming market in Southeast Asia was $1.5 billion in 2015, and it is expected to grow to $9 billion by 2025. In the period from 2015 to 2025 the annual growth rate will be 20%. Regarding income from mobile application stores, it is expected that by 2020 this will amount to $100 billion. This growth is due to the development of smartphones and stable internet connections, which enables the support of video games, virtual and augmented reality. Comments: Markets are showing high rates of growth, which suggests occupying a market niche is possible. In addition, the project’s partnership with Unity will have a positive impact in the fight for a market share.
Competitors Adyen (https://www.adyen.com) — A payment system for online games, supporting WeChat Pay, Alipay, Qiwi and Yandex. Payment for Gaming (http://paymentforgaming.com) — A payment system enabling in-game payments. Boss GS (http:// bossgs.com) — A payment system that can be integrated into games. Summary: The main difference of CloudMoolah from its competitors is their focus on Southeast Asia and the presence of a big industry partner.
Engineering features of the platform
The platform includes the following components:
• CloudMoolah is a payment aggregator, which enables payments to be
made within the platform ecosystem.
• Wallet. The wallet will enable users to store CMP and other items.
• MOO store is an app store that integrates Unity games. Blockchain
technology is used for payments within the store.
The ecosystem supports two tokens:
1. CMP (CloudMoolah points) — A game currency enabling users to make
purchases within games.
Developers can withdraw CMP at the rate of CMP = 0.01 USD.
Later, CMP will also be converted to the ERC-20 format.
2. MOO tokens can be used for:
a. investment.
b. trading in the MOO Store.
c. providing full access to content, articles and events from the best
mobile games Made-in-Unity.
d. monetization of games.
e. exchange for CMP.
Technical descriptionThe platform's ecosystem will function as follows:
1. A gamer exchanges traditional currencies or MOO tokens for CMP.
2. Players can use CMP to make in-app purchases.
3. Developers can exchange their CMP for traditional currencies or MOO tokens.
4. Developers can also pay with tokens to launch games in the MOO Store.
5. Game developers can request help with the implementation of a game in the
Cloud Alliance.
6. Another option for raising funds for the launch of a game is crowdfunding
carried out with MOO tokens.
7. Gamers can be rewarded with CMP for completing a quest in a game/level
etc.
8. Players and developers can trade services and items by selling and buying
them for MOO tokens.
