Nakame: The First SocialFi turned 3D Playground in the Ancient8 Ecosystem

We’re thrilled to announce the strategic partnership with Nakame, a revolutionary SocialFi project on the Ancient8 Chain. This collaboration marks a significant milestone for both companies, bringing a fresh wave of social interaction and entertainment to the Ancient8 Ecosystem.

Nakame is a vibrant 3D social playground where gamers can create their own unique avatars, called "MEEs", customize their virtual spaces, and engage in multiplayer adventures with friends. In other words, Nakame is a digital playground designed for everyone to reconnect with their inner child and enjoy a world brimming with fun and engaging experiences.

This synergistic partnership is a testament to Ancient8's commitment to fostering a thriving and diverse Web3 Gaming Ecosystem. Nakame's unique social focus brings a much-needed element of community and interaction to the space, opening up exciting possibilities for both casual and hardcore gamers. The integration of Nakame with Ancient8's robust infrastructure will offer players a seamless and rewarding experience, attracting a wider audience to both the Ancient8 Ecosystem and the Web3 Gaming space.

What is Nakame

Nakame is a pioneering SocialFi platform designed to address the limitations of existing Web3 gaming models. Current Web3 games often rely heavily on a single game, leading to a lack of sustainability and a narrow appeal. Nakame breaks free from this model by offering a diverse ecosystem of fun and engaging content, including multiplayer games, social interactions, and collaborative experiences.

Nakame stands out with its unique blend of social features, entertainment IPs, and a thriving community. Nakame’s offerings are:

An interactive social playground: Gamers can interact with their MEEs and other players in various ways, fostering genuine connections and building strong communities.
A creator & community-centric business model: Nakame empowers users to create and share their own content, fostering a vibrant and engaged community.
An ecosystem of multiplayer games: Nakame offers a diverse range of multiplayer games, catering to different tastes and preferences.
Partnership with entertainment IPs: Nakame integrates with renowned entertainment IPs, ensuring high-quality content and gameplay for users.

Nakame's arrival on the Ancient8 Chain opens up a world of benefits for both games and gamers. In particular:

Synergy with other projects on Ancient8

Nakame's integration with Ancient8's existing IP projects (such as Zone Nine) will create powerful synergies, allowing for cross-promotional opportunities and enhanced user experiences. Imagine a world where your favorite characters from Ancient8 games can interact with your MEE in Nakame, creating unique and memorable moments. Furthermore, Nakame can seamlessly integrate with other Ancient8's growth protocols such as Space3 or ReneVerse. The integration with these growth protocols will unlock a new level of User Acquisition and Ads Revenue for games.

The partnership between Ancient8 and Nakame represents a significant step forward for Web3 gaming on the Ancient8 Chain. By combining Nakame's innovative social features with Ancient8's robust infrastructure, Nakame enhances the experience on Ancient8 Ecosystem, creating a more engaging, rewarding, and sustainable environment for everyone involved.

Moving forward, the Nakame team will closely work with Ancient8 Foundation to co-develop the Nakame platform and expand its ecosystem. The team will also collaborate with other games and brands that are on the Ancient8 Chain, fostering a vibrant and supportive community aimed at democratizing access to decentralized technology.
