Mocaverse, the marquee consumer network with an interoperable infrastructure layer of Account, Identity, Reputation, and PointFi systems seeded by Animoca Brands, have announced that has partnered with SYMBIOGENESIS, the non-fungible token (NFT) collectible art project of Square Enix to promote user onboarding from Web2 to Web3.

Animoca Brands said in a statement on Wednesday that SYMBIOGENESIS is a project by Square Enix, the leading Japanese video game publisher and entertainment company that created hit titles including Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy.

SYMBIOGENESIS is a new entertainment concept that spans 10,000 NFTs representing collectible art and browser-oriented content; the second chapter of SYMBIOGENESIS was released in June 2024.

Mocaverse is one of Animoca Brands’ flagship projects and the go-to platform for consumers to maximize their Web3 exposure to experiences and rewards with a single login entry point.

The partnership announced on Wednesday follows an agreement established earlier this year between SYMBIOGENESIS and Animoca Brands Japan, a strategic subsidiary of Animoca Brands, to strengthen the global marketing efforts of SYMBIOGENESIS.

According to the statement, SYMBIOGENESIS will join the Moca Network through Mocaverse’s on-chain digital identity Moca ID and its associated Realm Points mechanism to accelerate Web3 user onboarding.

Mocaverse will enable SYMBIOGENESIS players to access curated Web3 games and experiences in the Moca Network, which includes over 540 portfolio companies of Animoca Brands and various Mocaverse partners.

Additionally, over 1.8 million existing Moca ID users will also gain access to SYMBIOGENESIS content and browser-based experiences.

This collaboration will facilitate a seamless onboarding experience for a crypto-curious audience to the Web3 ecosystem.

Through familiar Web2 social logins, users will be able to access hundreds of applications without needing to worry about seed phrases, repetitive transaction signing, or managing gas fees.

“Mocaverse’s partnership with SYMBIOGENESIS represents an exciting opportunity to simplify the path to Web3 for a crypto-curious audience,

“We are excited to work together in a collective effort to onboard consumers and gamers to the exciting opportunities of Web3,” said Kenneth Shek, project lead of Mocaverse.

Naoyuki Tamate, producer of SYMBIOGENESIS at SQUARE ENIX, added they are thrilled to start their collaborative partnership with Mocaverse.

“Together, we will leverage our respective strengths to onboard users to the next iteration of the Internet,” he added.

Mocaverse is Animoca Brands’ flagship project dedicated to becoming the go-to Web3 platform for consumers to enter, experience, and maximize their Web3 exposure to experiences and rewards.

Seeded by Animoca Brands’ 540 portfolio companies, Mocaverse is building the Moca Network, a network of networks with a single login entry point where partners can co-build different consumer applications for Web3 onboarding.

With Realm SDK as the core onboarding product, Mocaverse aims to decentralize the onboarding of millions of users from partners via interoperable wallet, ID, reputation, and point systems.

SYMBIOGENESIS is Square Enix’s first NFT collectible art project for the global players.

Players of SYMBIOGENESIS will use clues from the in-game story and hints to solve various mysteries and proceed the story to fight the “dragon” that has suddenly attacked the floating continent where the story takes place.

By owning NFT characters, players can read different stories and exchange information with other players on the official Discord and X to proceed the story and search for hidden items. Ultimately, the three chosen players will decide the outcome of this story as they take on a world mission that will determine the future of this floating continent, with all players observing.
