Blocto is partnering with South Korean Gaming Unicorn’s Web3 Arm METAPIXEL to bring Blockchain Gaming to the masses
Blocto, a leading cross-chain wallet application and multi-chain Web3 ecosystem, has announced a strategic partnership with METAPIXEL, a web3 gaming ecosystem focused on developing high-quality web3 games that compete with traditional games. This partnership aims to strengthen the appeal of blockchain technology and gaming to mainstream users and the gaming community by breaking down the barriers to entry of blockchain technologies and stimulating the mass adoption of Web3 gaming.
The partnership represents Blocto’s collaboration with one of the largest GameFi players on Aptos, and cements its existing leadership position as one of the three largest wallets within the Aptos ecosystem. METAPIXEL’s parent company NPIXEL is recognized as Korea’s fastest-growing game developer unicorn behind the top-grossing MMORPG game title Gran Saga, bringing deep expertise in triple-A quality games and interactive commitment to realize web3’s benefits of interoperability, composability and added utility in existing game paradigms.
As part of the partnership, Blocto will be the primary wallet for all METAPIXEL’s Gran Saga: Unlimited players, offering social/email login, gas tax sponsorship and unprecedented accessibility to dApps in the Aptos ecosystem. Ongoing community initiatives such as tester recruitment, NFT claims and airdrops are currently live to gather user activity and excitement for METAPIXEL.
With the integration of Blocto Wallet into leading web3 gaming projects such as METAPIXEL, players get a simplified onboarding to the web3 world. This includes unfettered access to a wealth of dApps across the massive web3 ecosystem and the ability to display NFT assets in their cross-platform Blocto Wallet profile as a showcase for decentralized identity, underpinned by seamless connectivity via social and e – mail logins. Overall, the partnership culminates the significance of building Blocto’s impressive range of projects across NFTs, gaming and DeFi into its chain-agnostic ecosystem, supporting Ethereum, Aptos, Polygon, Solana, Flow, BNB Chain and Tron blockchains, with more on road. .
Joseph Lee, Business Director, METAPIXEL, said: “Our vision at METAPIXEL is not only to revolutionize the gaming industry, but to create a gaming experience that connects the real and virtual worlds. Blockchain technology will be the driving force behind this new paradigm, and our partnership with Blocto will help us achieve our mission by providing players with seamless access to blockchain wallets. With our combined efforts, we are confident that we can build a bridge between active and potential players, and thus promote web3 adoption and drive the industry forward.”
Hsuan Lee, Co-Founder and CEO, Blocto, said: “Blocto is committed to empowering individuals to participate in the crypto-economy without the complexity of managing their digital assets. Our user-friendly and secure portals provide a frictionless onboarding experience, which is critical to the widespread adoption of crypto. We are excited to contribute to the democratization of blockchain gaming and bring it to the masses.”
Since its Series A round in February 2023, Blocto has amassed 1.6 million active users and eightfold the company’s valuation to $80 million. Leveraging the investor support of strategic partners Mark Cuban, IPX and 500 Global, Blocto continues to enhance the expansion of its interconnected dApp ecosystem as seen in the METAPIXEL partnership, while strengthening product and infrastructure development aimed at facilitating web3 onboarding – the process.
Looking ahead, Blocto plans to support EVM-compatible Layer 2 blockchains such as Optimism, Arbitrum, Polygon zkEVM, Oasys, Scroll, zkSync Era, Mantle, Base and Immutable X from early Q2 2023. The company will also be among industry – the first to integrate features for account abstraction (ERC-4337) and social logins for improved accessibility by Q2 2023.
