California-based layer 1 blockchain, Aptos, announces partnership with Npixel to bring web3 tech to its gaming platform. Mo Shaikh, CEO of Aptos, has already raised more than $400 million to build out Aptos’ web3 technology. The Aptos Network is now live in the market, having launched only a few weeks ago.
Founded in 2017, Npixel hit unicorn status with its Series B round in August of last year, 2021. The firm is best known for its first massively multiplayer online role-playing game “Gran Saga”, which became a top-grossing game on the Apple App store with four million downloads since its first launch in Korea and Japan.
Jeonghwan Ko, head of the blockchain department of Npixel, stated:
“Our team chose Aptos because of their vision of bringing masses into web3 through better user experience, unparalleled technology, and easy developer onboarding. We could not be more thrilled for this strategic partnership, not only with Aptos, but also with the Aptos community.”
