What Can Be Expected From The Launch?
Before now, Zone already had some millions of gamers in South Asia via engagement from its esports platform. With this development, the user-base will be integrated with Zone. This will allow them to participate in its play-to-earn economy.
On the other hand, the GameFi platform plans to let users pass from Web 2.0 to Web 3.0. Thus, utilizing its innovative GameFi Discord bot called Zobo. It already exists in 5,000 Discord servers.
Additionally, the platform makes it possible for users to challenge their peers directly. This means users don’t need to sort out “complicated cryptographic keys and wallets.” Simultaneously, this will allow Discord server owners to “monetize their community with its fee-sharing model.”
Also, Zone revealed its collaboration with Boundless Art to set up its NFT collection, the AFK Elephants. This will also be the pioneer NFT project on the platform.
