Digital Collection Platform 'Na Honjaman Level Up Unlimited' Season 1 Prologue Released View original image

Otherworld has announced on the 23rd the public launch of the digital collectible platform 'Solo Leveling: Unlimited' (hereinafter SL:U), based on the popular Korean webtoon 'Solo Leveling,' which has recorded a cumulative 14.3 billion views worldwide, and the start of its first season, 'Prologue.'


This service operates on Otherworld's independently developed Space network (Layer 1) and incorporates Avalanche's subnet network technology.


SL:U faithfully implements the story, characters, and style of the globally hit IP 'Solo Leveling' into a digital collectible platform. The storyline and universe, where the protagonist opens dungeon gates, hunts monsters, and grows, are reflected as the main concepts of SL:U, designed to provide high immersion not only for original fans but also for new users.


'Solo Leveling' is based on a web novel published in 2016 and has since expanded into webtoons, animations, games, and more, gaining immense popularity worldwide. This work is regarded as a representative title that introduced the status of Korean webtoons to the global market with its original story and attractive characters, boasting a strong fan base in North America, Japan, and other regions.


SL:U consists of an immersive collect and reward system (C2E, Collect to Earn) where users open dungeon gates, collect monster cards, and level up. Users can upgrade collected cards, and weekly rewards are given to users holding high-grade cards.


Additionally, limited edition Sung Jinwoo PFP (NFT) will be awarded to top-ranking users each season. The reward system is designed based on blockchain technology, transparently disclosing which algorithms distribute rewards to whom and how much. This fundamentally resolves issues of probability manipulation and reward adjustment frequently occurring in traditional game development companies.


Although Otherworld integrates blockchain technology, it provides services that are easy for the general public to use, leading the popularization of blockchain technology. SL:U lowers entry barriers by offering SNS account login, simple payment, and credit card payment functions.


Existing blockchain services required blockchain wallet logins or the use of cryptocurrencies for transactions and payments, causing significant inconvenience to general users and often leading them to abandon service use. Otherworld has solved these problems through collaboration with Avalanche and Crossmint.


While operating its own L1 network, Space, Otherworld also supports asset transfer and interoperability between different networks to expand the blockchain ecosystem. In cooperation with Nestree and LayerZero, it provides token and NFT cross-network transfer and swap functions, making them fast and easy to use via the Nestree Bridge. Furthermore, Otherworld's OWN token will be added as one of the payment methods in SL:U, with plans to offer various use cases starting with SL:U.


SL:U also announced collaborations targeting the global market. Through a partnership with Animoca Brands' Animation Foundation, joint marketing will be conducted, and a product lineup including NFTs will be introduced in collaboration with VT-Cosmetic, a Korean cosmetics brand popular in Japan.



Otherworld holds exclusive Web3 business rights for 26 popular KakaoPage webtoon IPs, including 'Solo Leveling' and 'Ranker Who Lives Twice,' and plans to secure more IPs to break down the boundaries between Web2 and Web3 and expand the universes of digital content. Additionally, in cooperation with Cube Entertainment, it aims to build an NFT collection and trading ecosystem utilizing K-pop artist IPs, providing an environment where fans can actively enjoy content.
