Freeverse’s «Living Asset» NFT Technology Will Add Verified Digital Ownership
Leading Barcelona-based game developer UPLAY Online has announced today that is moving into the web3 space through a strategic partnership with next-gen NFT platform Freeverse
With more than 15 years of experience in developing manager and tycoon games, for a variety of different platforms, UPLAY Online sees that the timing is right to bring web3 technology to their games.
“We believe that web3 technology is best used as a complement to great games, rather than being part of the core mechanic, as is the case in Play-to-Earn games»
“By adding Living Asset NFTs to our games, players will be able to truly own their digital content, but as part of a compelling gaming experience – as opposed to the NFTs being the main mechanic”, Quim Garrigós, Development Manager of UPLAY Online.
This vision is being brought to life thanks to Freeverse’s Living Assets Layer-2 platform, which not only allows millions of NFTs to be created but, crucially, permits the on-chain certified properties of those assets to evolve and change based on how the assets are used within the game.
This means that an asset’s properties – for example, the fitness statistic of a footballer – can rise if the owner trains the player, but fall if the player is not used, or ages.
“Living Assets represent a step-change in NFT technology, as they permit the asset to be valued by what the gamer actually does with them”,
“Up until now, NFT value has been mostly associated with artificial scarcity and speculation; but with Living Assets, the utility of the token to other users – affected by how the token has been used in the game – becomes the driver of the asset’s market value”, Alun Evans, CEO of Freeverse
UPLAY Online and Freeverse are currently building a Sports Manager project. This will be the first UPLAY Online’s video game project that lands in the web 3.0 ecosystem. The product is now under development and the first online beta version is expected to be launched between the last quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023.
