Unlockd and NFTXStreet New Partnership

Eris — Thu, 01 Dec 2022 14:59:40 +0000

Unlockd is pleased to announce its new partnership with NFTXStreet, a web3 community-based earning service provider.

NFT X-Street is a community of like-minded web3 enthusiasts collaborating to educate each other about the present and future of the blockchain space and its adjacent technology, the metaverse.

Their current offer is testing blockchain-based applications, project marketing, web3 training, and scholarships. They are active in games like Axie Infinity or Valorant and plan to enter more P2P games like Thetan Arena, Big Time, or Gods Unchained, among others.

NFT X-Street is proud to have its existing academics as a key part of the project. They provide them with opportunities to earn and learn on web3 and play P2E games.

Unlockd will give NFT X-Street users access to additional capital while maintaining ownership of their NFTs. This will allow them to benefit from additional yield opportunities, diversify their crypto portfolio, buy more NFTs, and expand their P2E resources.

With this partnership, they aim to involve both communities in as many projects as possible, expose themselves to different user requirements, and share their experiences and learnings to design the right tools to drive liquidity in the GameFi industry.

Unlockd will offer debt solutions to NFTxStreet members

The popularity of P2P gaming started during the pandemic, and two years later, it is still growing exponentially. Despite the market downturn and overall declining earnings, many gamers continue to generate recurring revenue while playing on mobile or PC.

However, there are a large number of players, especially in developing countries, who may not be able to afford that seed capital to start playing.

Many of these games, including Axie Infinity, require owning certain characters or in-game assets to start with, and sometimes they aren’t cheap. This is where guilds like NFTx Street come into play.

NFT X-Street makes it a priority toimprove the experience and knowledge of its community. The best way to speed this up is to start accumulating projects and experiment and use protocols that benefit the guild’s economy.

In Unlockd, lenders deposit their assets in pools to receive yield in exchange for their liquidity contribution. This is a Peer-To-Pool model that is more efficient and fairer than others. They have designed a robust liquidation process to minimize settlement friction, with multiple independent liquidation options always to choose the optimal route that provides the best outcome for protocol users.

NFT loans greatly lower the barrier of entry to P2E gaming for all players. It also provides a fair opportunity to participate in the guild economy by making NFT assets more accessible to everyone. Ultimately, it creates a win-win scenario for both the players who are renting the NFTs and the guilds.

They are thrilled to start this partnership with NFT X-Street, which will help them continue to grow in a buoyant market like P2P gaming — while offering access to optimized lending in the NFT world.

Battle Arena and Unlockd Collaboration

Eris — Tue, 11 Oct 2022 08:15:36 +0000

Battle Arena has entered its collaboration with Unlockd, a protocol that allows the digital asset economy to function to its full potential.

The partnership will bring more opportunities to the BAGG community with an NFT-backed, cross-chain, instant loan without losing ownership of the collateral, lending & borrowing market enables users, protocols, and organizations in the DeFi, Art, Real-World, and Gaming industries to maximize the return on NFT investments.

Building a strong intersection between the NFT industry and the DeFi sector is made possible by the emergence of Unlockd as the interconnected highway that enables liquidity to flow between blockchains, protocols, and communities.

The technology that they are developing will allow for unique symbioses with marketplaces, decentralized financial protocols that require collateral for applying leverage, renting protocols, guilds, peer-to-peer games, yield aggregators, and a wide variety of other decentralized applications. These lego-like pieces of technology will be able to be combined in a variety of ways.

This paves the way for the true financialization of NFTs, which will bring about financial products that have never been seen before in the history of the economy. These products will involve instant collateralizations to finance new purchases in the form of debt, as well as new strategies that will be centered on improving the efficiency of transactions that take place across multiple chains.

Unlockd believes that it is essential for P2E Guilds to have access to additional capital. So that they can expand their operations and purchase superior assets in order to scale GameFi operations, reward key players. And cultivate professional relationships. Unlockd will work closely with some of the most successful Guilds and gamers.

Unlockd Partnership with Rentero

Peter Chijioke — Wed, 28 Sep 2022 17:51:11 +0000

Unlockd has announced partnership with Rentero, an open-source NFT rental protocol built to maximize the utility of NFTS.

Rentero is focused on building innovative NFT rental infrastructure, especially targeting the GameFi market needs. They offer solutions like owning an in-game rental marketplace, trials to optimize conversion funnel or collateral-free solutions via wrapped NFTs to split owner and user roles.

These solutions have made them a popular partner for GameFi projects, including guilds and NFT infrastructure builders, as Rentero enable them to acquire users at scale and grow. They have secured impressive partnerships with top industry leaders such as BreederDAO, Metashooter, Conquest legends, Gamespace or Lita.

The solid tech backbone Rentero is developing makes them compatible with most protocols and chains like Ethereum, Polygon, and BSC, and they are known for their flexible payment mode approach, allowing profit sharing, rental fee mode and trial so users can choose.

But there’s more: The Rentero team is also building a free trial center to help new games acquire new users more efficiently, with an ambitious roadmap that includes Solana compatibility and new solutions for guilds and games — even launching their own token!

A partnership to boost NFT financialization and GameFi growth.

Unlockd and Rentero both share the same vision of providing liquidity for the NFT industry and supporting the growth of the market by onboarding users and creating solutions for guilds and blockchain games.

Rental and NFT-backed borrowing present multiple synergies and we are happy to work together and support each other on user growth, guild partnerships and identifying high-potential games and NFT collections.

They believe that Unlockd’s lending and borrowing system can help provide a better service to their partners while integrating renting solutions will improve returns for Unlockd borrowers.

At Rentero, they follow a multi-pronged approach to creating value for the ecosystem, combining their lender services — making it easy and convenient for them to list their NFTs with 0 cost — , their solution for renters — with features like their flexible rental system where they allow users to sublease to others the NFTs that they rented to lower the renting cost — and lastly their support for guild and projects, driving user growth and maximizing revenue.

With these pioneering developments, Rentero has positioned itself as a protocol where all GameFi stakeholders can find relevant tools to improve their efficiency.

“Rentero Protocol and its new free trial center can be the next game-changing platform for blockchain games to maximize their utility NFTs and killer tool for the growth of web3 space.’”

— Dylan, Head of Dev at Rentero.

Many of our guild partners will work with asset rental and lending protocols to maximize efficiency and will also offer the service to players and scholars while lowering the risk and threshold. This allows them to absorb the risk as well as the potential revenue — a great opportunity to help guilds maximize their efficiency to become more resilient during the current market cycle.

For Unlockd, this partnership with Rentero is a very important collaboration in a very strategic vertical. We believe that the integrations with rental protocols provide a very relevant go-to-market strategy and maximize value for our users by building composability.

We are actively looking at partnering with other projects building NFT infrastructure, in order to integrate more services to serve our users better and. Gettting their feedback and inputs will help us improve our protocol and become a reference in the NFT finance and blockchain gaming ecosystem.

Unlockd Partners with BabyMoon Gaming House

Peter Chijioke — Mon, 19 Sep 2022 16:59:24 +0000

BGH are experts in the Play-To-Earn and Metaverse Experience, boasting an impressive community of over 30,000 people.

The team at Unlockd share their vision and have been actively partnering with games, rental protocols, and guilds to work on building the infrastructure to onboard the next billion players.

Unlockd is developing technology to help key agents like BGH improve their financial power in a sustainable way. Of course, their community and ecosystem will also benefit from their solutions.

Unlockd Partnership with NFT Kartel

Peter Chijioke — Thu, 15 Sep 2022 16:29:05 +0000

Unlockd is thrilled to announce its new partnership with NFT Kartel, a Korean gaming guild focused on supporting the growth of the Metaverse.

NFT Kartel is one of the largest gaming guilds in Korea, also known for its strong crypto and NFT community, which analyzes multiple games and creates content across more than 15 social media channels on a weekly basis. They are a true driver of the metaverse education growth.

They have collaborated with leading projects like BigTime, KlayCity, 3KM, and Tracer, constantly providing feedback and sharing suggestions based on their scholar experience and updates. Following this approach, they have built their relationships sharing the insights they gather from the industry, acquiring a great level of expertise that will help Unlockd understand better our target market.

NFT Kartel has a very ambitious roadmap that includes building an integrated platform and incubating more projects — starting with their own content creation, research, and production but moving into investments and venture development.

They aim to become a financial powerhouse, specializing in the P2E market but expanding its reach and operations into all areas of the metaverse economy.

This is why NFT Kartel is not only conducting gaming-based projects and providing scholarships via their guild but also actively scouting for new projects across all NFT domains and infrastructure, leveraging their connections as an autonomous group of holders highly knowledgeable about the Koran NFT space.

Fascinated by their commitment to care for and develop their national scene, we at Unlockd wanted to help them to boost their initiatives with the NFT liquidity they need.

Both projects started building their relationship as we jointly believe and work towards a future where NFTs become one of the largest asset classes in the world and understand that loans-based liquidity is a critical development to make that happen.

Unlockd have been impressed by their understanding of blockchain gaming and their willingness to experiment with new projects, which will be extremely useful when the Unlockd team needs to decide which games, integrations, and solutions should be prioritized.

Thus, their expertise and connections will allow us to refine our go-to-market strategy and be introduced to top industry drivers to expand our ecosystem.

Through this partnership, NFT Kartel will utilize their NFT-backed lending solutions to expand their guild operations in a non-dilutive, sustainable way, helping them reduce their opportunity cost and fast-track their growth.

NFT Kartel has joined their early bird program with their NFT genesis collection

NFT Kartel received a significant number of WL slots for the pre-sale of The Lockeys, Unlockd’s genesis collection of NFTs, The Lockeys.

Unlockd Partners with Hooga Gaming

Peter Chijioke — Thu, 01 Sep 2022 19:25:58 +0000

Unlockd partners with Hooga Gaming, a Web3 Gaming Guild built by a group of avid gamers and firm believers of the P2E economy who are focused on the long-term view.

Introduction to Hooga Gaming

Hooga believes esports are the answer to achieving this goal.

They boasts a strong and active community with around 6.2k members on Discord. Their core focus is to establish an esports ecosystem for Web3 games through forging infrastructures and partnerships. This includes tournaments, guild collaborations, content creation, and streaming.

Partnership Details

With a strong focus on esports, training scholars and community building through AMAs, tournaments and activities like movie nights and game nights, they are one of the guilds with the best talent, something they reinforce by providing one of the highest rewards distribution models for their scholars ( including 100% of the tournament rewards).

Led by a veteran team composed of 15 crypto gaming OGs and having even hosted a tournament sponsored by FTX, Hooga is home of some of the best Axie players in the world.

At Unlockd, they really like how they are aiming to popularize NFT games among web2 players and the esports community.

Main goal

Unlockd has the main goal of acting as a crossroads where all the different NFT projects can be supported. Through their solutions and adapted interfaces, they enable onboarding to the ecosystem of users who are just starting out, while providing projects such as Hooga with the NFT liquidity needed to bootstrap and scale outreach projects in search of mass adoption of NFTs.

Gaming expertise leveraged with NFT-backed loans

They continue to innovate by connecting with more products and coming up with their own projects.

Hooga Gaming is at the forefront of the blockchain gaming industry and is starting to incubate other innovative projects in the background which they would love to explore and create synergies with our NFT liquidity solutions.

As part of their partnership, we will also look at supporting NFT-backed loans within their new ecosystems, in which the Hooga team will be bringing its extensive expertise as advisors.

Unlockd share their vision of making NFT Gaming fair for players and rewarding talent and believe that NFT-backed lending can play a key role here, by driving financial inclusion and allowing scholars to borrow against their assets, but also providing the necessary resources to invest in better NFTS and give more opportunities to the best players — especially during tournaments and competitive activities that demand resources efficiency.

Hooga Gaming will constantly engage, exchanging knowledge, feedback, marketing, and community activities that benefit the whole web3 scene. Unlockd is excited to help their guild borrow against their NFTs and access new financing channels sustainably.

Guilds and infrastructure projects together, like Hooga Gaming and Unlockd, they continue to bet on the future of blockchain gaming.

Unlockd Partners with Klay Guild Games

Peter Chijioke — Mon, 29 Aug 2022 15:42:54 +0000

Unlockd partners with Klay Guild Games, a community gathering gamers to play, learn, and share everything about blockchain games.

Klay Guild Games

Powered by Community

“KGG is a community where gamers come together to play, learn and share everything about blockchain games. They are ready to dive into the metaverse.”

KGG builds a blockchain game community that helps gamers and gaming companies on blockchain onboarding. The performance that AXIE Infinity brought great changes and shocks to the existing game industry.

Adverse effects of Rapid Market Growth

Scam and Rugpool
Barriers to Entry (Lack of understanding of blockchain games)
Lack of information about the project, language barrier issues
Frequent chages in project roadmap or critical designs

Partnership Details

Unlike other guilds, KGG operates business as an educational institution, developing training programs with a clear focus on educating gamers and helping drive blockchain adoption and security awareness.

Thanks to this approach, they have managed to add great value to the community, gathering over 20,000 members to whom they provide a variety of content such as game guide & strategy, NFT information, and review & rating.

This Unlockd x Klay Guild Games partnership provides KGG with the liquidity tools they need to transform the efficiency of their portfolio and obtain non-dilutive funding to help them achieve their ambitious goals.

These tools can be directly integrated into their processes in the future to ensure a seamless operating experience!

In addition, as part of its commitment to educating its community to help them get on the right track, KGG will help us convey the value of NFT liquidity to its members — opening the door for its scholars and users to discover Unlockd’s NFT-backed loans.

“Unlockd is an interesting project that allows users to take full advantage of NFTs they may have overlooked. It is a disruptive technology to the NFT ecosystem, and will open more opportunities for gamers to utilize their assets.”

— Cider Kang, Co-Founder of Klay Guild Games

Better liquidity = better ecosystem

Their joint vision is to allow education on blockchain games to happen at the community level, allowing Web3 gaming studios to focus on development and make better games. This is what the market needs now and what will drive mass adoption in the future.

One of the most exciting aspects of KGG is the way they have been incubating projects entering the blockchain ecosystem. Thanks to KGG’s network and experience incubating projects, they will be able to know first-hand what the predominant needs of emerging projects are — and provide them with the necessary NFT liquidity to solve them.

In addition, Unlockd NFT-backed solutions will help the Klay Guild Games team to collateralize a large part of their NFT portfolio through instant loans. This will allow them to unlock non-dilutive funding, essential to exponentially scale their operations and investments in a sustainable way.

With Unlockd, guilds, scholars and projects have a new tool at their fingertips that allows them to leverage the full value of the assets they already own, and use the additional liquidity to position themselves as leaders in the blockchain gaming economy.

Unlockd Partners with Kapital DAO

Peter Chijioke — Thu, 25 Aug 2022 17:10:53 +0000

Unlockd Partners with Kapital DAO, the leading institutional-scale web 3.0 gaming asset management protocol.

Overview

Unlockd believes in that goal, and wants to help Kapital DAO get there by partnering to support web3 gaming organizations in scaling their operations.

Kapital DAO is a leading provider of web3 gaming asset management tech, enabling full delegation and scholarship of gaming assets to sub-managers and players (including gaming assets that do not have native “scholarship” functions).

Their protocol is already live with multiple guilds scaling into thousands of scholars. Because they work at the wallet level, their tech works in every game, right out of the box, seamlessly.

Currently, they are looking to enable the next institutional-fund-sized web3 gaming enterprises across creator guilds, play-to-earn guilds, and competitive esports brands as they deploy into new web3 games.

Thanks to this interdisciplinary approach, they offer value to every part of the web3 gaming space: players, guilds, and contributors. To achieve this, Kapital DAO has one of the most professional teams in the industry with broad experience across financial institutions like Goldman Sachs, and also blockchain and tech projects like Hivemind, DAOVentures, and Playground Labs.

Their deep industry experience and guild management helped them evolve with the ecosystem; we are impressed by how they have scaled their service, with tens of thousands of active scholars. They enable trustless delegation of all guild operations back to community members so that players can focus on the game and admins can focus on capital deployment — building separate competencies and driving guild specialization.

Unlockd and Kapital DAO will start sharing insights on developing NFT infrastructure with the objective of, together, becoming one of the engines that will power the growth of the blockchain gaming industry from the inside.

“This collaboration is a way for the Kapital DAO and Unlockd to support web3 gaming organizations as they look to scale. Unlockd opens up financial opportunities for organizations to gather funds to scale and the Kapital DAO can help them operate the gaming assets they purchase at any scale.”

— @youngestkimchi, Head of Partnerships at Kapital DAO

Tools to help guilds manage operations and scale

On the protocol side, Kapital DAO allows anyone to easily set up and manage a web3 gaming guild.

With a strong focus on becoming the key asset management solution for guilds and NFT funds, they have developed a strong set of tools that allow guilds to securely outsource admin work and focus on growing the community and player experience.

This is really aligned with our Unlockd philosophy of providing opportunities and helping all NFT users to improve capital efficiency and manage their portfolios in a smart way with extra liquidity.

The Kapital DAO team has always stayed ahead of the game, constantly identifying and integrating new games following a game-agnostic approach, integrating all blue-chip games, and introducing new games rapidly. In fact, they are building an innovative developer SDK to permit games to list themselves, focusing on a self-service tool to enable all games to easily connect with their platform.

This is the key to scalability, a goal that we at Unlockd share in order for the NFT industry to start growing exponentially.

But there’s more: they are also changing the rules of the game regarding charging and financing.

The Kapital DAO takes a very small portion of the treasury tokens of newly incorporated DAOs built using their tooling functions. This creates the right incentives and aligns the utility of the Kapital DAO engineers with those new DAOs to ensure that updates, growth, and support are executed well.

At Unlockd, we are also working with game developers and protocol engineers to create new opportunities for web3 games, like ‘buy-now-pay-later’ solutions. We are thrilled to see the NFT infrastructure industry developing and we believe that platforms like Kapital DAO that constantly integrate users, guilds and games to provide solutions that optimize their efficiency will continue to thrive.

On our way to becoming a foundational hub of NFT liquidity for protocols, communities, investors, DAOs and users, having the support and expertise of integration experts such as the Kapital DAO team will be an edge that will allow us to fast-track our integration with new protocols.

Who knows the needs of a guild better than a guild?

On the gaming guild side, they are one of the most advanced guilds in the blockchain gaming ecosystem.

Kapital DAO has a really strong and engaged community of over 50,000 members, with experts across all domains: esports, content, moderation, streaming, and a variety of vanguard industry areas.

This provides them with an incredible advantage as they can test their own solutions and run in-depth user testing, knowing what games are more likely to succeed and which are the right automation and services that will solve critical problems.

As Unlockd is a project that has not yet been tested by a large user base, we are very uncertain about how our target will behave and, especially, how their needs will evolve.
