OpenBlox: a digital world at the crossroads of NFTs, Play & Earn and Web3

OpenBlox, a large ecosystem that mixes NFTs and Web3

The digital world ofOpenBlox is made up of Web3 games and applications with non-fungible tokens (NFTs) as the backbone.

Available on the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain via OpenSea and on Arbitrum, the OpenBlox universe mixes several virtual worlds on which players travel with their “Blox”, Scalable NFTs whose different attributes are customizable and which have the particularity of being compatible with all games in the OpenBlox ecosystem.

These can then be traded or resold as NFTs to infinity on the OpenBlox Marketplace.

But OpenBlox is also present on Web3, in particular thanks to its first Runblox appa Move and Earn built on the Avalanche blockchain (AVAX) which rewards its users for their physical activity: a way of earn cryptocurrencies by taking care of your health.

The project is supported, among others, by the Japanese Yūsaku Maezawaa listed entrepreneur 14th richest man in Japan according to Forbes. Among his many activities, he has created several companies, including Zozotown, the largest online shopping site in the country.

But since then, the entrepreneur has decided to focus on the conquest of space and will notably participate in a flyby of the Moon aboard a spaceship of SpaceX, the company of Elon Musk.

OpenBlox is also powered by Blizzard, the Avalanche investment fund that wants to support the organic growth of projects that are built on its blockchain. Blockchain gaming platform OpenBlox also gets support from Shima Capitala fund specializing in Web3 projects founded by Yida Gaoa Wall Street veteran.

Note that OpenBlox has its own token. Referred to as OBX, the latter was created on the launchpad of the ByBit platform and makes it possible to ensure the governance of the project while financing it, since it is used for the transaction costs of the ecosystem. In addition, players are rewarded in different ways depending on the number of OBX tokens in their possession.
