The digital realm of collectibles is witnessing a revolutionary shift with the entry of “Solo Leveling: Unlimited,” a new NFT platform derived from the immensely popular South Korean web novel and webtoon, Solo Leveling.
This platform, developed by Singapore-based Web3 specialist OtherWorld, is set to make its debut on the Avalanche blockchain, marking a significant advancement in the integration of entertainment and blockchain technology.
“Solo Leveling: Unlimited” is not just another digital collectibles platform. It stands out by leveraging a custom Layer-1 network developed specifically on Avalanche, allowing for gasless transactions—a feature that not only enhances user experience but also democratizes access to NFTs by removing the often prohibitive costs associated with blockchain interactions.
Solo Leveling only levels up.

This strategic move is aimed at harnessing the fervent fan base of the Solo Leveling series, which has amassed over 14 billion views globally across its various formats including web novels, webtoons, anime, and mobile games.
Engagement and Expansion
The platform transcends traditional NFT offerings by embedding users directly into the Solo Leveling universe. Players can engage with the storyline actively, battling monsters and collecting cards to advance their characters—mirroring the narrative’s progression.
This immersive experience is augmented by rewards such as profile-picture NFTs featuring the series’ protagonist, further blurring the lines between gaming and collectible ecosystems.
Beyond entertainment, “Solo Leveling: Unlimited” serves as a launchpad for future Web3 ventures, promising to introduce more webtoon IPs and even K-pop elements to the blockchain space. This initiative is supported by OtherWorld’s existing rights to 26 hit webtoon IPs and a partnership with major agency Cube Entertainment, setting the stage for a broader cultural infusion into the crypto world.
