SYN CITY is a play-to-earn mafia game founded by Tron Foundation’s former head of business, Roy Liu.
It will center its planned “Mafia Metaverse” around a surfeit of blockchain-based integrations, including a governance system, decentralized finance (DeFi) staking and its own non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace.
The game’s governance system, called “Mafia-as-a-DAO,” or MaaD, incentivizes players to form “mafia syndicates,” playing in groups that can face off against each other and enter tournaments.
