Meet the Moonland Metaverse

Blockchain technology has forayed into multiple industries. However, gaming has been referred to as the blockchain’s most feasible application. Within only a year, web3 gaming grew by $3B in 2021. 

Projections claim the industry will be worth a whopping $39.7B by 2025. Primary drivers of blockchain gaming include integration with NFTs, play-to-earn and free-to-play models. Today, the industry has a notable ecosystem of 1.5 million diverse gamers.

The blockchain has immense potential in powering the future gaming experience.

One main benefit of the blockchain includes the establishment of fair gameplay. 

Besides, crypto coins and tokens enable near instantaneous payment which makes the blockchain a reliable partner in propagating in-game currencies. A decentralized environment also favours gaming due to its ability to eliminate fraudulent in-game assets. Transactions are evermore efficient and transparent, thanks to the public ledger. 

Other benefits include the ability to incentivize more purchases for loyal gamers, creating scarcity and harnessing the forces of demand and supply in gaming, and finally creating in-game items that players can transfer between themselves across different games. 

Such benefits are the main appeal of gaming studios that are currently paying attention to the blockchain revolution. One such insider is Moonland, which is harnessing the power of the decentralized ledger to deliver a metaverse-based gaming platform.  

Moonland is a gaming platform, which is building a metaverse on proven blockchains like Ethereum, Binance Chain and Qtum, for players to create personalized avatars and explore new cities.

The social multiplayer platform is the product of a versatile team of 3D artists, designers, marketers, developers and entrepreneurs. This team is not only skilled in deploying this web3 gaming product, but all team members have left incredible marks in their respective industries.  The team abides by a strict agile development cycle through which it has managed to build a playable demo in under a year. Other milestones include the development of a character creator studio, the creation of more than 10K NFTs and forming of great partnerships across the industry.

Moonland Partnerships

Moonland is the recipient of a whopping $250,000 fund from Qtum for rapidly building and integrating the gaming platform with Qtum’s blockchain NFT ecosystem. 

The team also made the decision to move its building team from the Unity Platform to Unreal Engine 5. This move required the developers to learn a completely new coding language and begin work on the Unreal engine.
