In this episode of Tokenized Identity, Titus Capilnean, our VP of Go-To-Market, chats with Corey Wright, CEO of Honeyland, on why games are better with web3. Hint: When players have more ownership over their in-game destinies, engagement goes up.
If you’re not familiar with Honeyland, it’s a play and own mobile game built on Solana. After only a year on app stores globally, the game has more than 20,000 daily active players. Within the game, you can mint, buy, sell and trade NFTs through a marketplace using their own cryptocurrency. You can also buy the crypto as an in-app purchase with Apple Pay or Google Pay.
In web3 games, there’s an idea of ownership and value – the value creation inside the game. When there are players with 100 accounts, that imbalance can ruin the economy within the game. So, partnering with Civic to determine unique humans was a big unlock for dynamics within Honeyland.
