TL;DR
Between the Memecoins and AI trends currently in the crypto spotlight, gaming is on the verge of some major breakthroughs with blockchain technology. With Ethlas dedicated to building the future of crypto gaming they’ve been the ones to watch over the past few weeks rising to be one of the fastest-growing crypto games this year. This makes it the perfect time to look at what Ethlas is doing to improve the gaming landscape.
It’s no surprise that many of the blockchain games released so far have been, well, underwhelming.
Try as they might, there are only a few products that have teased their ability to create well-developed and robust AAA gaming titles. However, even these projects are taking more time than expected to release.
Ethlas released its Battle Showdown Game almost a year ago on Apple and Android devices and their approach differs vastly from the competition.
Instead of launching a useless token while they build a game, Ethlas decided to launch a completely customizable game in collaboration with the ELS token. A welcomed new strategy for blockchain gaming design.
What is Ethlas?
Created in 2021, Ethlas began as a Web3-focused gaming and development company.
Launching their Pizza Empire, Battle Showdown, and Virtual pet Sim Komo Valley earned them more than 1 million unique users within the first 90 days of launch. This has a lot to do with Ethlas Founders’ previous experience working for the best tech startups in Silicon Valley, hailing from Microsoft, Google, JP Morgan, and CitiBank.
Ethlas also acquired early funding from Sequoia Capital, Makers Fund, Dragonfly Capital, Yield Guild Games (SEA), Infinity Ventures Crypto, Global Blockchain Innovative Capital, and executives from Coinbase, CoinMarketCap, Spartan Group, Hashed, and several others to fund this adventure.
Finding success in gaming early on led the team to begin focusing on designing security features to ensure that the integrity of their products wouldn’t be compromised by any rogue bad actors.
Adding security to the foundations of their Web3 game development led to the launch of FailSafe, an enterprise-grade monitoring software that intercepts unauthorized use of wallets connected to its system. More on that later.
With games launched and a full security suite enabled it wasn’t time to relax for Ethlas. It was time for their team of two dozen motivated developers to continue innovating.
This led to the addition of AI-generated game elements in their flagship product Battle Showdown. Aspiring to be the next Valve or Epic Games, Ethlas is driven by the need to create accessible Web 3 gaming products that everyone can enjoy.
What is Battle Showdown?
As the bread and butter of Ethlas, Battle Showdown has had a limited time in the mainstream. That’s because instead of going heavy on the marketing, Ethlas used these funds to focus on building one of the most polished crypto games currently playable.
Focused on migrating users from Web2 environments, Battle Showdown has acquired 90% of its player base from non-crypto users.
But, Battle Showdown isn’t a simple standalone experience.
Focused on interoperability across limitless platforms, Battle Showdown is designed around cross-IP integration.
