More About Avalanche

Launched in 2020 by Ava Labs, Avalanche is a high-performance Layer 1 blockchain network that aims to solve the blockchain trilemma of security, decentralization, and scalability with the help of its specifically developed consensus mechanism named Snowball.

Like its direct competitors Ethereum, Solana, and Polkadot, the Avalanche network supports smart contracts and decentralized applications (Dapps) to run on its blockchains. The Avalanche network has recently emerged as a powerhouse in the realm of decentralized applications, web3 gaming, and NFTs. With its high throughput and low fees, it's no wonder that game developers are flocking to this platform.

What is Otherworld?

Otherworld is a web3 social protocol with an open-source framework that allows developers to build or integrate social applications with its social graph. It leverages IP usage rights from top entertainment properties to create a decentralized content universe.

Solo Leveling: Unlimited (SL:U) on Avalanche

SL:U allows users to interact with the 'Solo Leveling' narrative through an innovative reward system. This initiative is part of Otherworld's broader strategy to combine entertainment with blockchain technology. Future plans include expanding to other webtoon IPs and K-pop groups.

Originally a web novel, 'Solo Leveling' has grown into a webtoon with over 14 billion views, an anime, a sequel webtoon called 'Solo Leveling: Ragnarok,' a live-action drama, and a game, 'Solo Leveling: Arise.' Mike Lee, CEO of Otherworld, commented:

“For web3 services to become popular, three things need improvement. These are blockchain wallet-based logins, eliminating transfer fees, and simplifying cryptocurrency payments. Our service aims to address these issues.”

Top performers in each season will be rewarded with a limited edition Sung Jin-Woo Shadow Monarch profile picture.
