ISKRAㅣGlobal Expansion and Local Execution for Web3 Game Markets

  • Speaker: Ben Colayco (CBO)
  • Time: 4 Sep 16:00 – 16:15

About ISKRA

Iskra offers an all-in-one web3 game platform that rewards players and developers through a unique community system. Services include web3 games, wallet, DEX, marketplace, and launchpad. Iskra believes that on-boarding the next generation of Web3 users will be driven by engaging games that demonstrate the true value of digital ownership.

ISKRA’s Presentation

Localization is one of the hottest topics in Web3, but it’s also one of the most challenging to build with local community nuances. At ISKRA, they work directly with local communities to manage cultural nuances and preferences, and their global expansion and localization efforts include not only local partnerships but also a variety of direct local actions. 

For example, they are expanding their local partnerships, such as YGG Philippines and Level Up! Brazil, and using strategies to engage directly with local creators and influencers. As part of this localization process, ISKRA is also running its own FB group TikTok channel in the Philippines to test whether this approach is more practical. In the future, the importance of local content in Web3 gaming will become even more important to foster organic UGC. At KSL2023, they will share ISKRA’s global expansion and localization strategy and first-hand knowledge, focusing on China, Japan, and Vietnam.

About Another World

As Klaytn’s first metaverse-centric GC member, Another World aims to be a lifestyle platform, solving the challenges of traditional metaverse user acquisition and engagement through a super-app strategy. It has achieved 0.14 billion TVLs since its launch, and generated over $12 million in revenue by selling 4,000 Rand NFTs within two months of launch. Another World is also actively engaging with its community and executing its roadmap, which has resulted in a global community of 200,000 users.

Built on a blockchain token economy system, the Another World metaverse serves as the core of the interactive lifestyle platform, which will be supported by a differentiated community system, unique story concepts, and creator ecosystem.  As the first step in its super app strategy, Another World recently launched the GROUNDI project in collaboration with world-renowned partner LG Electronics.

Another World’s Presentation

This project, GROUNDI, in collaboration with LG Electronics, is a health management app that helps users develop healthy habits through walking exercises while providing tangible and psychological rewards. Another World designed items earned in Move to Earn (M2E) to be used within the metaverse and built a structure that allows Web2 users who have entered M2E to seamlessly transition to the Another World metaverse. 

Another World aims to build a substantial Web2 user base by capitalizing on Gen Z’s interest in app tech. To create a sustainable ecosystem from M2E to the metaverse, a subscription system will be implemented, complemented by various entertainment options to improve user retention. At KSL2023, Another World will introduce the project in collaboration with Web2’s big partners and share its big vision beyond.
