At Animoca Brands, we understand the value of content. Working with global brands over the years, such as Formula One, Thomas & Friends, Beast Quest, Garfield, Astro Boy and many more - has allowed us to reach new fans and players through the appeal of beloved characters and worlds. Through Blockchain we are going one step further. It allows us to empower the current and next generation of players, by providing an even closer connection to the content: it becomes player-owned and player-driven.
We are building games, worlds and experiences that take advantage of this possibility. Experiences where players own the content, form the economy, and shape the stories. Where they have a more tangible effect on the games that they love. We’re looking to connect with people who share this excitement. People who are looking forward to bringing this new, evolving platform to tomorrow’s players.
