At Animoca Brands, we understand the value of content. Working with global brands over the years, such as Thomas & Friends, Beast Quest, Garfield, Astro Boy, Formula 1, and many more - it has allowed us to reach new fans and players through the appeal of beloved characters and worlds.
Through Blockchain, we are able to go one step further.
Blockchain will allow us to empower a current and next generation of players, by providing an even closer connection to the content: it becomes player owned and player driven.
We are building games, worlds and experiences, that take advantage of this possibility. Experiences where players own the content, form the economy, and shape the stories. Where they have a more tangible effect on the games that they want to play.
Blockchain is an exciting, early stage technology, where any idea provides a new possibility. With the next design paradigm and play experience just waiting to be discovered.
We’re looking to connect with people who share this excitement. People who are looking forward to bringing this new, evolving platform to tomorrow’s players.
