• Leading Korean Web3 gaming giant WEMADE has announced a strategic alliance with London-based Metaverse engine developer MetaGravity. 
• The MIR4 developer plans to contribute to the MetaGravity web3 gaming ecosystem. 

WEMADE has signed an MOU with MetaGravity to build a unique game experience and platform for people to connect to and enjoy. The alliance plans to bring the vision of Jang Hyun-Guk, CEO of WEMADE, to life.

We Made It Despite the Ban

Despite South Korea’s Seoul Administrative Court ruling against releasing new Play-to-Earn games and NFTs, WEMADE has been actively building and expanding its ecosystem. Surprisingly, WEMADE’s flagship MMORPG, MIR4, ranked second globally based on Play-to-Earn sales.  

The MIR4 developer plans on adding to the MetaGravity vision of building the next generation of live digital worlds targeted toward gamers. WEMADE plans on using its high-performance open-source protocol WEMIX3.0 

WEMIX3.0 is powered by the platform’s native Stake-based Proof of Authority (SPoA) consensus algorithm, currently secured by 40 decentralized authority nodes. The nodes are operated by the platform’s global partners and on-chain community decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).

By utilizing WEMIX3.0, WEMADE plans to deliver a secure and scalable solution for the MetaGravity ecosystem. 

On the Flipside

• WEMADE and MetaGravity have yet to share the specific details about their alliance; however, the platforms have shared that the partnership is gaming-related.
