Spielworks has acquired Wasder.gg, a social platform for web3 video games, and is trying to combine it into the already flourishing Wombat ecosystem.

This crypto winter has been brutal for these within the trade, with the frost claiming the lives of many beloved organizations within the area. My technique for Token Gamer was easy: survive in any respect prices. That’s, do no matter it takes to make sure that when the solar is out once more, Token Gamer remains to be a key voice in blockchain gaming. This appeared like the perfect path to take, however some organizations have gone a slightly totally different route.

Spielworks owns and runs the Wombat ecosystem which has been a well-recognized identify to each these in web3 gaming and people in EOS communities. Spielworks hasn’t adopted the identical survival technique as many people although — they’ve gone procuring. As an alternative of conceding territory, they’ve expanded in all instructions, most notably with the acquisition of one in all web3’s main marketplaces (and a superb buddy of ours), AtomicHub. AtomicHub is an important element of web3 gaming (notably video games corresponding to Alien Worlds) and the acquisition saved {the marketplace} from potential nonexistence, which might have been an actual loss.

Whereas many people had been nonetheless fortunately applauding that transfer, Spielworks was busy making extra.

Spielworks Acquires Wasder

Wasder.gg (I’m announcing that as W-A-S-D-er and I don’t care if that’s flawed — I’m not altering) is a social platform for avid gamers, which is an idea that has been hunted for properly over a decade at this level. What makes this one notably promising is the web3 integration and the concentrate on web3 video games.

Wasder is on each Apple and Google Play and with over 1.5 million downloads on the Play Retailer alone! It provides some actually nice options, from a Battle.web model buddies module to my private favourite, sport clips. To my eye, no person has actually managed to nail sport clips as a standalone entity. YouTube Shorts might be the closest we’ve got however it’s limiting, notably with the 9:16 side ratio.

The platform appears to tie constant threads between the video games gamers take pleasure in and socialize the expertise, all with web3 performance. For instance, Wasder has a local and deflationary $WAS token, which Spielworks will proceed to domesticate. There are a number of developments within the works at current:

  • A staking mechanism with VIP perks for members
  • Unique NFT collections, solely accessible for buy with $WAS. These NFTs may have utility as profile footage inside the Wasder app
  • A burn coverage using liquidity pool (LP) charges from asset buying and selling

It’s straightforward to see why Wasder could possibly be an integral a part of the Wombat ecosystem.

We’ve at all times envisioned Wombat as a spot of connectivity and discovery. With the acquisition of AtomicHub a number of months in the past and now Wasder, we’ve added the lacking items to our full Web3 gaming ecosystem and grew it to exceed 7 million customers. The $WAS token will even play an important function in how we wish to reward gamers for his or her achievements and interactions — amongst many different issues, and we’re past excited to construct an unprecedented dual-token ecosystem that unites each manufacturers.

It was at all times my objective for Wasder to profit as many gamers and sport creators as potential […] I strongly consider that Spielworks is completely suited to be the most important Web3 sport writer on the planet within the years to return. Constructing Wasder during the last 6 years has been one of many huge honors of my life. It feels good to see what we’ve got constructed being taken over by an skilled group with a confirmed observe file – who believes in creating enjoyable, inclusive and rewarding participant experiences. I additionally look ahead to working alongside Adrian and the remainder of the Spielworks group to create a Web3 gaming ecosystem that may develop to indicate thousands and thousands of individuals what web3 video games might be.

Ultimate Ideas

There’s a saying within the health world: summer time our bodies are made within the winter. That strikes me as the right analogy for web3 companies too. That’s, once we’re hitting all-time highs and the fair-weather people rush again in to say “GM” on Twitter as soon as per day, it’s most likely too late to get the eye your challenge wants or desires. Spielworks is kind of clearly crafting the right physique prepared for hotter days.
