XPLA
Operator of the universal blockchain gaming platform built on the Terra blockchain
About XPLA
XPLA is a Layer 1 blockchain, established in 2022 and headquartered in Singapore, that functions as a universal hub for digital media content. Initially developed by the South Korean game publisher Com2uS, XPLA operates on the Tendermint consensus engine, which provides Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) to secure the network. The company is led by CEO Paul Kim, who previously worked as a strategy consultant and held strategic roles at eBay. Michael Lee, the Director of Corporate Development at Com2uS USA, also works closely with the XPLA team on ecosystem and business development.
Read full description
The platform's business model is centered on creating a comprehensive ecosystem for Web3 applications, with a primary focus on the gaming industry. XPLA provides a developer-friendly environment with a native Software Development Kit (SDK) and middleware to facilitate the transition of Web2 games and users to the Web3 space. Its infrastructure supports both the Cosmos Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol and Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility, allowing for broad interoperability with other blockchains and smart contracts written in Solidity. This enables developers to launch multi-chain Web3 games and gives users a wide range of experiences in DeFi and "Play-to-Own" (P2O) gaming. Revenue and platform activity are driven by the native token, $XPLA, which is used for transaction gas fees, staking, governance participation, and as a medium of exchange for digital assets like NFTs within the ecosystem.
XPLA's core service is its blockchain mainnet, which hosts a variety of decentralized applications (dApps), including an NFT marketplace called X-PLANET and an all-in-one blockchain gaming platform, XPLA GAMES. The platform has onboarded several high-profile gaming titles, such as "The Walking Dead: All-Stars," "Summoners War: Chronicles," and "Ace Fishing: Crew." A key feature is its "Play to Own" (P2O) model, which emphasizes gamers' ownership of their in-game assets, allowing these assets to be tokenized as NFTs and traded. For game developers, XPLA offers technical support and tools to integrate blockchain features, including tokenomics and NFT marketplaces, into their games. The company has also forged strategic partnerships with companies like Oasys to expand into new markets and has received investments from venture capital firms including Builder Capital, Play Ventures, and Unanimous Capital.
