Chain Reaction FPS Introduces Kill-to-Earn Gaming Model
**Chain Reaction** is positioning itself as a skill-based first-person shooter that prioritizes gameplay over blockchain mechanics. **Key Features:** - Competitive FPS with focus on gunplay and skill expression - Players earn rewards for each kill ("kill-to-earn" model) - Match-based reward system - Web3 integration runs in background without disrupting gameplay The team argues most Web3 games failed because they weren't compelling as standalone games.
