If crypto investors haven’t already taken notice of the partnership announced between UniX Gaming, DAO Maker and SL2 Capital, they should start doing so now. For it promises to result in some of the most in-demand Initial Game Offerings that we’ve ever seen.
We’re not kidding. UniX Gaming has made no secret of its desire to get into the crypto game launchpad space and its highly anticipated IGO platform, Final Round, is widely expected to launch soon. That the world’s largest crypto gaming guild has decided to create a launchpad is a big deal in its own right. After all, few can argue that video games players are the best placed to spot the most successful up-and-coming new games before they make it big. But Final Round’s expertise goes beyond just gaming, for it’s tapping the expertise of two of the most prominent names in the world of crypto investing/launchpads.
The thinking behind UniX’s plan is that it can supplement its own knowledge around gaming with wider industry expertise on all things blockchain and crypto, and what it takes for new projects in the space to really grow. Successful projects are built on more than just a good idea. While immersive, enthralling gameplay is important for any game, that’s not the only thing that will lead to its uptake among a wide audience of players. When considering blockchain games, one of the most important things is that the game is built on a solid technology foundation, with support for cross-chain interoperability, fast and smooth transactions. That’s essential because players’ money will be at stake. In addition to this kind of technical expertise, the creators of play-to-earn titles also need all the help they can get to grow a community around their games.
This is where the assistance of DAO Maker and SL2 promises to be invaluable. We’re talking about two of the biggest names in crypto investing. DAO Maker is one of the biggest launchpads of all, specializing in IDOs and IGOs. Notable projects it has backed include MetaGods, Infinity Skies and Prometheus. It ranks third in terms of market capitalization having raised more than $250 million for its projects since being founded in 2019. It also receives more traffic than any other launchpad around. Those are some serious credentials and ensure it has the credentials, the network and the market reach to ensure its projects have the best possible chance of succeeding. And even though DAO Maker has made many mistakes along the way, it has learned from those mistakes. With the benefit of that hindsight, Final Round will be able to avoid making many of the same errors.
SL2 Capital is an equally big name. It’s not a launchpad but rather, one of the biggest venture capitalists in crypto with a portfolio that boasts some of the most compelling new play-to-earn games to emerge this year, including titles such as The Realm Defenders, Blast Royale and Kawaii Islands. Where SL2 really stands out is for its technical expertise. Through its SL2 Labs incubator, it has the expertise to overcome almost any technological challenge and take its projects forward. It’s for this reason that SL2 will take responsibility for creating and validating Final Round’s smart contracts.
We also can’t forget UniX itself. It’s the biggest crypto gaming guild of all and its community of thousands includes some of the most competitive P2E gamers in the world. It’ll be this community of hardcore gamers that’s tasked with identifying which new crypto gaming titles are worthy of its launchpad. The projects it selects will then benefit from the immense depth of experience, knowledge and community support of DAO Maker and SL2 Capital.
Investing in launchpad projects is always a risky business because the success of any project can never be a foregone conclusion. That said, if you’re looking for a safe bet for the next hot IGO, be sure to take a very close look at anything that comes up on Final Round.
