Moonbeam, Animo join forces to advance Web3 gaming
Moonbeam Network has forged an alliance with blockchain gaming platform Animo Industries.
The platforms aim to bring Web3 gaming to the masses, The Block reported.
Moonbeam, the smart contract platform for cross-chain applications, is reportedly eyeing expansion into the Web3 gaming space.
A news report by The Block today revealed that the platform has joined forces with Animo Industries, a blockchain game developer, to help bring crypto gaming to more people across the globe.
In a comment, Moonbeam Foundation’s Head of Ecosystem Development Sicco Naets, said that the partnership brings more than just the quest to promote mass adoption of Web3 gaming.
Taking crypto gaming beyond P2E
According to Naets, the collaboration is part of the company’s “broader strategy to move blockchain gaming beyond the conventional play-to-earn model and technology for its own sake.”
It’s about putting gamers into the driving seat of the creator economy, with the alliance focused on promoting meaningful utility as part of the Web3 gameplay mechanics, Naets added.
As the two projects target further adoption for crypto gaming, Moonbeam will provide a grant, while Animo will tap into Moonbeam’s technology to boost gamers’ acquisition and holding of in-game assets.
The integration will see gamers access such assets – whether Web2 or Web3 – from a single marketplace. The convenience that this brings could spark increased traction for blockchain games, Naets noted.
