More About Avalanche
Launched in 2020 by Ava Labs, Avalanche is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain network designed to address the blockchain trilemma of security, decentralization, and scalability through its innovative consensus mechanism, Snowball. Similar to Ethereum, Solana, and Polkadot, Avalanche supports smart contracts and decentralized applications (Dapps) across its blockchain networks. Avalanche has recently emerged as a powerhouse in decentralized applications, web3 gaming, and NFTs, owing to its high throughput and low transaction fees, attracting significant interest from game developers.
What is OtherWorld?
OtherWorld is a web3 social protocol featuring an open-source framework that enables developers to create or integrate social applications using its social graph. It leverages intellectual property rights from leading entertainment properties to establish a decentralized content ecosystem. OtherWorld holds exclusive web3 rights to 26 webtoon IPs from KakaoPage, including 'Solo Leveling' and 'Second Life Ranker,' and collaborates with Cube Entertainment for K-pop artist IPs.
Solo Leveling: Unlimited (SL:U) on Avalanche
SL:U enables users to engage with the 'Solo Leveling' storyline through an innovative reward system, aligning with OtherWorld's strategy to merge entertainment with blockchain technology. Future plans involve expanding to include other webtoon IPs and K-pop groups.
Originating as a web novel, 'Solo Leveling' has evolved into a webtoon with over 14 billion views, an anime adaptation, a sequel webtoon ('Solo Leveling: Ragnarok'), a live-action drama, and the game 'Solo Leveling: Arise.' Mike Lee, CEO of OtherWorld, remarked:
“For web3 services to achieve widespread adoption, improvements are needed in blockchain wallet-based logins, eliminating transfer fees, and simplifying cryptocurrency payments. Our platform aims to tackle these challenges.”
Role of Monster Cards and Rewards
In SL:U, users progress through the original story and earn monster cards by defeating creatures within the gates. These cards can be leveled up, with high-level cardholders earning rewards. The platform will update seasonally, featuring community competitions and diverse activities. Top performers each season will receive a limited edition Sung Jin-Woo Shadow Monarch profile picture.
The platform facilitates influencers and companies in monetizing their fanbases through digital collectibles, enhancing customer relationships and strengthening brand identity. SL:U is currently accessible in closed beta on Avalanche. For early access, visit the OtherWorld community on Discord.
