This new collaboration betwen two gaming giants will integrate Symbiogenesis into Mocaverse’s on-chain digital identity system, Moca ID. The partnership builds on an earlier agreement between Animoca Brands Japan and Symbiogenesis, aimed at amplifying the project’s global marketing. Mocaverse’s over 1.8 million users will now be able to explore Symbiogenesis’s browser-based NFT content through a unified, seamless system. This will also allow Symbiogenesis players to access a range of web3 experiences and games across the Mocaverse.
Kenneth Shek, project lead at Mocaverse, emphasized that this partnership represents a “collective effort” to simplify the web3 journey for gamers and new users. Naoyuki Tamate, producer of Symbiogenesis , expressed excitement over leveraging both companies’ strengths to enhance user onboarding and expand web3 accessibility. The collaboration signals an important step in bridging traditional gaming audiences with web3 innovations, making digital experiences more intuitive for all.
With this partnership, both Mocaverse and Symbiogenesis aim to play pivotal roles in shaping the future of blockchain-based gaming and digital asset adoption. By creating a smoother onboarding process for users unfamiliar with web3, the partnership hopes to accelerate the expansion of blockchain technology into mainstream consumer platforms.
