GRAND CROSS: METAWORLD Will Leverage Sui to Bring the Metaverse On-Chain

Mysten Labs, a web3 infrastructure company and initial developer of the Sui Layer 1 blockchain, announced that it has been selected by Metaverse World, a subsidiary of Netmarble F&C, to serve as the blockchain partner for GRAND CROSS: METAWORLD, a recently unveiled next-generation metaverse.

GRAND CROSS: METAWORLD enables thousands of users to simultaneously interact with one another and various cities and neighborhoods in a vast, open virtual world featuring distinctive anime-style character concepts and immersive 4K backgrounds. The metaverse will also allow users to build their own monoverse, in which they can create and decorate their personal spaces, as well as use webcam and mobile camera-based motion recognition technology to customize their individual avatars and create user-generated content to be broadcast in the metaverse and across other social networks.

By partnering with Mysten, GRAND CROSS: METAWORLD will leverage the Sui blockchain to bring rich, dynamic, and composable assets on-chain and power the metaverse’s economic, trading, and payment activities.

Evan Cheng, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Mysten, said, “Netmarble F&C is an internationally-recognized mobile gaming company, renowned for its imaginative gameplay experiences and relentless focus on player entertainment and enjoyment. Through GRAND CROSS: METAWORLD, we look forward to taking the metaverse from an abstract idea to a tangible and interactive destination that combines the best of web2 and web3.”
