XPLA is expanding its Web3 ecosystem by partnering with: Xterio. XPLA is a blockchain mainnet originally built by Com2Us that works as a gaming platform. It also acts as a hub for all types of media content. The mainnet bridges the gap between Web2 and Web3 in the games industry. It builds wallets and explorers and provides developers with design and technical support.
Xterio is a FunPlus contributor and operates as a cross-platform portfolio with a focus on multiplayer games and player ownership. This new partnership will allow Xterio to bring its catalog and digital assets to XPLA’s ecosystem for the duration of the agreement.
This partnership will make Xterio one of the first Web2 companies to partner with the blockchain hub, and it will help develop the XPLA mainnet. Xterio provides exclusive games, but also contributes to XPLA’s media content pool. The goal is to turn the blockchain into a hub of art, music and decentralized apps.
“Our partnership with Xterio continues the development of XPLA and will bring a new element of entertainment for our users to enjoy,” Com2Us chief executive Kyu Lee said in a statement to GamesBeat. “In the true spirit of Web3, our vision for XPLA is to share ownership and validation control with our partners, to drive innovative ideas while providing key infrastructure support to leading global companies.”
XPLA uses this new partnership to establish a connection with FunPlus. It makes XPLA the exclusive Web3 partner of FunPlus. FunPlus is the developer of some pretty popular mobile games like State of Survival, King of Avalon and Guns of Glory.
Com2Us launches its own games
Com2Us does not rely solely on the FunPlus catalogue. It is launching some of its own titles, including Summoners War: Chronicles, Dear, Ella, and many others. Com2Us migrates these titles from C2X, their native platform, to fully establish XPLA.
Xterio also recently raised $40 million in a funding round led by FunPlus, Makers Fund, FTX Ventures and XPLA. That kind of dosh will definitely help launch games and establish the XPLA blockchain as a destination.
