Together, we will launch a brand new Web3 gaming platform, dubbed Intella X, which will bring some of Neowiz’s popular gaming IPs, including “Cats & Soup” and “Brave Nine,” to Web3 for the first time.
For game developers, contribution to the ecosystem is known as “Develop and Earn”. By developing and deploying games/content to the ecosystem, the platform calculates certain on-chain and off-chain data to determine the contribution rate for each developer’s game.
