Me2on Officially Enters Metaverse and NFT Game Business... "Targeting Release in 2022"

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] Me2on announced on the 18th that it will officially enter the blockchain-based gaming business by combining the metaverse and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Targeting 2022, the company plans to unveil an upgraded business model of its existing metaverse casino service and aims to lead the market as a blockchain gaming platform.

Me2on is applying NFT technology to ‘VR Casino,’ the world’s first metaverse casino launched in 2018, and is also promoting NFT integration for the global version of its game ‘Full Pot Hold'em.’

In the overseas version of the metaverse casino, VIP users who play games frequently will be able to create and decorate their own casino spaces through an ownership system that leases casino spaces. They will operate their casinos directly, set game rules, and utilize various objects to realize their unique casinos.

In particular, Me2on is developing a Play To Earn (P2E) business model where profits generated here are shared with the company, and casino spaces are tokenized as NFTs that can be bought and sold with virtual currency to generate income. The metaverse casino is planned to be launched in both VR market and 3D web browser versions.

Additionally, Me2on plans to develop the global version of Full Pot Hold'em by launching NFT Hold'em, which applies NFTs to each winning hand. The project, scheduled for the first half of 2022, is expected to not only activate the NFT Hold'em game but also create new revenue through the NFT trading system.

To support these business models, Me2on is also considering issuing coins for P2E games such as the tentative ‘MEVerse (ME2ON Metaverse Token).’ In the future, the company plans to establish a foundation that enables P2E integration not only for Me2on’s own games like the metaverse casino and Full Pot Hold'em but also for casual games from Me2zen and MeToon & Novel within the Me2on group.

Son Changwook, CEO of Me2on, expressed his ambition, stating, “Me2on has long been providing VR metaverse game services and plans to create high synergy and results by integrating advanced blockchain technology and NFTs into the game P2E economic system.”

Meanwhile, Me2on, established in 2010, is an abbreviation of ‘Me To Online,’ which implies the meaning of the metaverse. In December 2017, Me2on integrated virtual currency payment systems such as Bitcoin into the overseas version of ‘Full Pot Hold'em.’ In February 2018, it launched ‘VR Casino’ on Facebook’s Oculus Market and holds intellectual property rights for virtual reality casino games.
