Gaming companies FlickPlay and The Sandbox announced a new partnership that will allow players to use blockchain assets on both platforms, representing a key step in building the metaverse. This endeavor will also require close collaboration between companies and metaverse developers, including Facebook owner Meta Platforms Inc, Microsoft, and Epic Games.
FlickPlay is an app where players can unlock digital collectibles by using an interactive map of their actual surroundings and then using their phone’s camera to overlay the collectibles onto the real world allowing gamers to interact with the objects to make videos and other types of content. The app announced its first collection of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) called Flicky, which will feature designs of an anthropomorphic chameleon wearing different clothes.
A portion of people who acquire a Flicky will be able to use the NFT as their avatar on The Sandbox, a web and mobile game where players can build 3D virtual worlds.
Initially, Flicky owners will be able to unlock a version of the chameleon to use on The Sandbox. However, soon, they will be able to use the exact version of the digital asset that is stored on the blockchain in both games.
This integration is notable because it may be the first bridge of an NFT in the virtual world with uses linked to the real world, said Sebastien Borget, the co-founder of The Sandbox.
