OVERTAKE is a Web3-based gaming asset marketplace developed to enable secure, transparent, and decentralized trading of in-game assets (accounts, items, currencies). While traditional game item trading takes place on fragmented platforms with high commissions (up to 20%) and unsafe P2P methods, OVERTAKE redefines this process with smart contracts, blockchain-based escrow, and AI-powered tools.
The project’s vision is to ensure that the value created by players truly belongs to them, can be transferred safely, and forms a globally scalable player-driven economy.
Founders and Team
OVERTAKE was founded by former executives of pioneering platforms in gaming asset trading such as ItemBay and ItemMania, along with veterans with long-standing experience in the sector.

Alison – CBO (Chief Business Officer): Background in KakaoPay and Accenture. Involved in crypto since 2017, focusing on business development and partnerships. At OVERTAKE, she leads go-to-market strategy, partnerships, and token strategy.

Investors and Partnerships
OVERTAKE collaborates with investors experienced in gaming asset trading and strategic partners from the Web3 ecosystem.

Partners: MetaEdition (developer of Somnis: Rumble Rush), Immutable, and Web3 infrastructure providers.
Project Idea
Today, the $55B gaming asset trading market runs on fragmented, unsafe, and costly platforms. Players generate value but cannot securely own it.
OVERTAKE addresses this problem with a three-stage roadmap:
ACT I – Smart Contract Escrow
Blockchain-based escrow system with a 2/3 multisig model ensuring security in P2P trading.
ACT II – Direct Game Integration
Connecting directly with game publishers to tokenize in-game assets in a verifiable way.
ACT III – Embedded Infrastructure (IaaS)
APIs and SDKs for developers to integrate embedded trading infrastructure into their games.
How OVERTAKE Works
- Player-to-player asset trading secured by smart contract escrow.
- Transactions validated on-chain and coordinated off-chain.
- AI-powered fraud prevention and pricing mechanisms.
- Future development includes direct on-chain asset validation via NFTs or dynamic NFTs.
Stakeholders
The OVERTAKE ecosystem is designed for trading digital game assets such as currencies, items, and accounts. It creates a transparent value exchange, secures asset ownership, and fosters economic participation.
