Souq Deck

Client

Souq calls itself the financial market for game economies: a platform that wants to turn players of web3 games into owners, starting with a portfolio manager for game NFTs and tokens.

What we did

A twenty-two-slide pitch deck, from mission, values and vision through the product, platform strategy, managed pools and tokenomics to the roadmap and founders, built on the dark ground, mint accents and screens of the Souq interface.

Pitch deck 22 slides
01 / 22 Cover The Financial Market for Game Economies. v1.0 2022

Mission, values and vision on a quiet dark grid

The cover and the closing slide share one scene: the Souq wordmark and a headline shading from white to lavender, framed by a ring of glowing cyan and blue blocks around a violet star field, with the name repeated as outlined letters behind it. Between them, every slide keeps to a fixed grid: the S monogram top left, a lavender headline over a mint subhead, and the page number on a thin rule at the bottom left.

The opening slides say what the company stands for with very little decoration. Mission draws three rights for players, access and governance, equity and information, as a split pie in blue, mint and magenta. Values runs as a two-column list of six mint headings with one line each, and Vision sets four objectives in equal tiles under a white grainy disc ringed with blue, mint and red arcs.

04 / 22 Vision Vision. All Souq actions center around four objectives:. Build the financial market for game economies. Ensure players own the platform and economic upside. Become the leading MetaFi investment platform. Grow the GDP of open virtual worlds. 04

Product screens staged as today and tomorrow

The product enters as a before and after. Today fans out the current portfolio screens at an angle, and Tomorrow lays out one game page with yield, lending tiers and stabilization pools. Platform Strategy links its three prime directives with thin curved lines, and the end state is a glass sphere holding the Souq wordmark above a field of light pillars, with tiles for the four partners it serves: players, games, wallets and blockchains.

Problems and answers then come in pairs. Players Require New Tools sets three needs over faint outlined numerals, Games Face Macro Challenges puts its list beside grainy bars in mint, magenta and blue, and generic wallet screens show what NFT views lack. Portfolio Manager answers with a feature list beside the NFT Portfolio screen, and Wallet Commerce API shows a game's items as a grid of cards with value, rarity and cost inside a wallet frame.

Benefits table, tokenomics flow and roadmap timelines

The business slides become tables and diagrams. Platform Benefits is a four-column table that maps each partner to its product, benefits and prime directive, with mint headers and thin rules. Managed Pools and Supplied Liquidity give each pool type a dark tile with a mint title, the second laid over a streak of blue and magenta light. Tokenomics is a flow chart: players feed four mint revenue sources, which meet in a grey sphere and split between the community and the company.

Progress runs along a timeline across the slide, a dot for each month, with versions of the Portfolio Manager, Commerce API and Economy SDK stacked under it in white and mint. A glass panel marks the current month, and Acceleration Opportunity reuses the same line for the faster plan. The founders appear in black and white on glass cards, and the deck closes on the cover scene with contacts in a dark bar.
