Today, CPBOX introduces a project on the Sui blockchain that’s well worth your attention—Jackson.io.
Introduction
Jackson.io is a decentralized gaming protocol built on the Sui blockchain, designed to provide a shared, fair, and verifiable infrastructure for game providers, players, and liquidity providers (LPs). Unlike traditional centralized gaming platforms, Jackson.io does not directly operate games or control outcomes. Instead, it serves as a neutral protocol layer, enabling these three parties to interact and exchange resources through on-chain smart contracts.
In the traditional internet space, this concept resembles early gaming platforms like 4399 or 7k7k, which aggregated various mini-games. However, currently, most of the games integrated into Jackson.io are gambling-related.
Platform Model
The Jackson.io platform is structured around three key roles:
- Liquidity Providers (LPs)
- Users can stake their crypto assets into the platform to receive JacksonJP staking tokens, allowing them to share in the platform’s revenue.
- Game Providers
- Jackson.io has partnered with over 120 game developers, offering players a diverse selection of games.
- Players
- Players can participate in games and place bets in a transparent and fair environment, ensuring the integrity of every game session.
As a matching platform, Jackson.io connects these three parties and charges a small transaction fee as platform revenue.
Why Use a Decentralized Gaming Protocol?
Traditional online gaming and gambling platforms are typically controlled by a single operator, often lacking transparency in game mechanics and outcomes. This makes it difficult for players and liquidity providers to trust the system without verifiable rules and data.
Jackson.io leverages blockchain technology to offer an alternative solution. The platform does not act as the house but instead serves as a protocol that connects players, game providers, and liquidity providers. Smart contracts automatically enforce rules, minimizing human intervention.
In simple terms, Jackson.io can be seen as a regulatory layer. Compared to traditional online gambling platforms, players gain an extra layer of security. Many on-chain players have even reported higher win rates when betting through Jackson.io compared to other platforms.
Its operational logic is similar to Uber: Uber doesn’t own cars but provides a neutral platform where drivers and passengers interact under shared rules. Similarly, Jackson.io acts as a connector, coordinating the interests of game developers, players, and liquidity providers while ensuring all interactions follow clear and verifiable rules.
Follow-Up Developments
Currently, Jackson.io is still in its early stages. Staking and other features are in testing mode, with no transaction fees being charged yet. Meanwhile, we can already see the price of JacksonLP gradually rising. As more game providers join the platform, staking rewards are expected to increase significantly.
Right now, JacksonLP functions solely as a staking certificate and is not tradable on DEXs. If trading becomes available, it could open up more DeFi yield opportunities, making JacksonLP an even more compelling asset to watch.
Jackson Shark NFT
Jackson.io has also introduced its mascot—Jackson Shark—a collection of 9,999 NFTs, each featuring a cool and adorable shark design. Currently, the floor price for these NFTs is 1.4 SUI, making them a highly cost-effective investment even without hype.
Recently, the Jackson team hosted a large-scale offline event in the Philippines exclusively for NFT holders—an impressive feat for a project still in its early development phase.
Conclusion
From my perspective, Jackson.io is a highly promising project. Its interface is simple and intuitive, making it easy for even Web3 beginners to start playing with minimal learning curve. This low barrier to entry could help the platform rapidly attract a massive user base.
