Animoca Brands’ subsidiary, Darewise, revealed it has created a groundbreaking Bitcoin-based Metaverse token. The company was able to set this up through strategic collaboration with Horizen Labs, the same group that provided smart contracting and token strategy advice related to the rollout of the ApeCoin (APE).
As part of the partnership, Horizen Labs will help Animoca Brands’ Darewise Entertainment in fulfilling its ambition of introducing the first-ever metaverse token for the Bitcoin ecosystem. The latter will launch the metaverse token through Bitcoin Ordinals to power an ecosystem in the upcoming metaverse game, “Life Beyond.”
Darewise Entertainment is also behind the highly-anticipated title, and it will develop the metaverse ecosystem that will be centered on the Bitcoin Ordinals. As per CoinTrust, this is a complete network that will include different aspects such as gaming, real-world immersive experiences, brand partnerships, and more.
The exciting part of this venture between Darewise and Horizen Labs is the fact that the Bitcoin-based metaverse token will first be experienced through the soon-to-be-released “Life Beyond” metaverse game. As a result, this game will become the pioneer in implementing the Bitcoin metaverse token for digital and in-game assets.
“Over the next few months, we will unveil a lot of technological breakthroughs we have been working on that will power not only Life Beyond Chapter 1 2024 but also metaverses and games around the world,” Darewise Entertainment’s chief product officer, Vincent Marty, said in a press release. “We are working tirelessly to make sure we will have true utility in this ecosystem when our token is launched.”
Horizen Labs’ chief, Robert Viglione, also commented, “We are beyond thrilled to be working with Darewise Entertainment and Animoca Brands on this project. We look forward to working with the excellent Life Beyond team and bringing our expertise to this important technological innovation within the space. We can’t wait to push the Bitcoin, Ordinals ecosystems forward while expanding the footprint of our work at Horizen.”
