Otherworld has announced the launch of Solo Leveling: Unlimited (SL:U), a digital collectibles platform inspired by the globally acclaimed Korean webtoon series Solo Leveling. The platform aims to blend the immersive storytelling of the original series with blockchain technology, creating an engaging experience for fans. SL:U operates on the Space Network, a custom Layer 1 (L1) blockchain developed by Otherworld, built on Avalanche.

Bridging Anime and Blockchain

Solo Leveling, originally a web novel by South Korean author Chugong, has gained worldwide popularity since its debut in 2016. Adapted into a webtoon with over 14.3 billion views, the franchise has expanded into animations and games, solidifying its reputation as a cornerstone of Korean pop culture.

SL:U integrates the series’ distinctive characters, storyline, and dungeon-themed gameplay into a collectible card platform, allowing users to explore the protagonist’s journey of battling monsters and leveling up. By leveraging blockchain technology, Otherworld seeks to introduce Solo Leveling fans to web3, creating a seamless transition for audiences more familiar with traditional web2 platforms.

Collect-to-Earn Trend

SL:U introduces a Collect-to-Earn (C2E) system, offering rewards to players who enhance their card collections. Players can acquire monster cards by opening dungeon gates, mimicking gameplay mechanics from the original series. Weekly rewards incentivize player engagement, with top-ranking participants receiving exclusive Sung Jin-Woo profile picture (PFP) NFTs each season. This interactive system not only gamifies the collecting process but also strengthens the connection between fans and the Solo Leveling universe.

Accessibility for Web2 Users

One of the platform’s standout features is its effort to remove traditional barriers associated with blockchain technology. Many web3 platforms require complex login processes and on-chain transactions, which can deter mainstream users. Otherworld addresses this by offering user-friendly login options, enabling audiences unfamiliar with blockchain to participate effortlessly.
