Backing the Opal Protocol and the BLIF token, Animoca Brands aims to facilitate a true digital life on Bitcoin. The BLIF token, initiated by Animoca and the metaverse technology platform Darewise, is set to enable various facets of digital experiences, from gaming to education, within the Web3 landscape.
Yat Siu, Animoca's executive chairman and co-founder, emphasized Bitcoin's readiness for Web3, stating that the advent of Ordinals has transformed Bitcoin into more than just a store of value but a store of culture for the Web3 age. Siu highlighted the significance of building Animoca's presence on the Bitcoin chain through the Opal Protocol to advance their vision of an open metaverse.
Six of Animoca Brands' portfolio companies have already joined as Genesis members of the Opal Protocol ecosystem. Moving forward, all Bitcoin-based projects from Animoca Brands will collaborate with the Opal Foundation, solidifying their commitment to the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Initiated in 2024, the Opal Protocol positions itself as a decentralized ecosystem protocol on Bitcoin, powered by BLIF. Described as a digital extension of reality, the Opal protocol seamlessly integrates virtual and real-life experiences, fostering banking, entertainment, education, and social interactions within its ecosystem.
