As the gaming industry joined forces with the Web3 ecosystem and blockchain technology, no gaming platform wants to miss the opportunity. On January 16, Taki Games, a Web3 gaming network joined web3 through its merge with Unite in collaboration with Quickswap on Polygon. The motive is to expand its roots in the Web3 gaming space as well as launch a dedicated liquidity pool for TAKI tokens.
Taki Games Goal
The merger of Taki Games with Unite to expand its presence onto the Polygon network resulted in Weiwei Geng, the CEO of Unite becoming CEO of the Web3 gaming network. In addition, the gaming platform generated waves on Polygon with its immersive Web3 social product, reaching 1 Million users. Further expansion will help Taki Games generate a portfolio of mobile games powered by TAKI tokens, combining the power of Web2 and Web3 gaming.
Unite is a creator of the popular Web3 and NFT project Kungfuverse. Taki Games invested over $2.5 Million in fiat and TAKI tokens to hold two of the popular mobile games that are Bored Button and Mom’s Kitchen.
Bored Button serves a large number of games allowing players to tap the Bored Button again for playing games. The game is downloaded by over 8 Million gamers and featured in 100 + countries with over 200,000 monthly active users. Mom’s Kitchen is the ultimate online cooking game holding 150,000 downloads and 8,000 MAUs.
Furthermore, to introduce TAKI on Polygon, the Web3 gaming platform collaborated with Quickswap to develop deep liquidity. The action will help TAKI holders make a seamless transfer between Polygon and Solana. Also, the merger will offer a reliable liquidity pool for Taki’s bridged token, which is the TAKI/MATIC pool.
The Popularity of Web3 in The Gaming Sector
The new CEO of Taki Games is all prepared to transform the Web3 gaming space, providing players with ownership of in-game assets. However, Taki Games is not the only player on the list, several other platforms are steeping their feet into Web3 space.
On January 16, Chess.com and Animoca Brands in partnership with Magnus Carlsen, a five-time world chess champion announced the first phase launch of Anichess, a free-to-play chess strategy video game. Furthermore, 3thix, a gaming wallet’s investment of over $8.5 Million, and the introduction of Nyan Heroes, a battle-royale shooter game by Epic Games showcase the gaming industry’s interest in Web3.
In addition, Web3 gaming gained a lot of popularity in the past three years, hitting $4.6 Billion in 2022 and projected to reach $65.7 Billion by 2027, according to Nasdaq. Also, the growing opportunities in Web3 provide gaming platforms with in-game assets that have value both outside and inside the gaming world.
