Rangers (Rocket) Protocol
Rangers Protocol was developed by MixMarvel as a platform for blockchain games and a Layer-2 protocol of interaction within the HyperDragons game. The Rangers Protocol builds a cross-chain infrastructure for gaming and NFT interactions that can integrate financial, semi-financial, and non-financial decentralized applications into the game.
MixMarvel on Rocket Protocol 1.0 and 1.5 have already released several operational products. They developed an NFT wallet and 2 games: HyperDragons and HyperSnakes, which have many active users today.Rocket Protocol (Rangers Protocol) 2.0 is coming soon and aims to help developers build complex applications themselves and adapt them to different game scenarios, providing a wide range of possible game interactions between players.
Rocket Protocol 2.0 aims to solve the problem of "high-frequency" transactions using the VRF + BLS consensus mechanism. The project has recently rebranded by significantly improving the UI / UX of the website, the logo and the design of the V1 platform.

•Advantages:
MixMarvel has a track record of successful cases.Good investor lists and potential use of the platform as an SDK for developers and users in the blockchain gaming environment.
• Disadvantages:
Price action of the MixMarvel (MIX) coin, the company involved in the protocol development: https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/mixmarvelThe first version of tokenomics specifies long linear vesting for participants in the early rounds (400 days), with a daily unlock, which is not practical at all for early investors but also not problematic in the long run for public participants.They will likely announce the IDO and perform a new version of tokenomics, so it's best to keep an ear to the ground.
