Polkadot Ecosystem

This collaboration not only reveals the game’s first digital collectibles, but it also marks the metaverse’s entry into the Polkadot ecosystem, and the art behind the collection was created by Bruce Zick, who has worked on well-known brands such as Pixar, Disney, and Marvel.

Located in the Polygon Network, Mandala Metaverse offers many benefits to its users, including lower transaction fees and faster confirmation times. The platform also allows for seamless integration with other Polygon-based projects.

What is the Mandala Metaverse?

Mandala Metaverse is an immersive gaming experience that utilizes cross-chain and secure DIDs to create a fully customizable avatar and a free-choice narrative game. The game includes brainwave and VR(virtual-reality) components and overlaps with the project’s TV series and graphic novel.

Holders of the Cryptonauts NFTs will have multiple utilities to their function, including the ability to stake their NFTs to gain access to exclusive comics and merchandise, as well as the ability to earn through DeFi mechanics.

Commenting on the launch, the CEO and co-founder of Mandala Metaverse said, “Polkadot has real future-proof NFT applications, such as nesting, staking, and the ability to send NFTs over bridges – plus many other innovative ways to use NFT assets. We can now do things we didn’t think were possible.”

Overall, the launch of the Cryptonauts NFT collection represents an exciting new chapter for the Mandala Metaverse and Polkadot ecosystem. As the game continues to expand and innovate, it will be interesting to see how the project moves forward given the benefits of emerging into the Polkadot ecosystem.
