Have you ever thought the metaverse land sales could use a bit of a shake-up? Well, so did Zepeto's ZTX and OpenSea. On August 30th, they are launching the Genesis Home Mint on Arbitrum, aiming to redefine the way we perceive ownership in virtual worlds.
Unlike traditional virtual land sales seen in platforms like The Sandbox and Decentraland, the Genesis Home Mint offers a multifaceted experience. These are not just chunks of digital land but 4,000 unique 3D-rendered homes scattered across four ZTX Districts—Fashion, Games, Finance, and Arts.
Each home comes with in-game utilities, economic activity boosts, and even governance rights in community treasuries. Owners can decorate, host gatherings, and engage in an array of on-chain rewards for their creativity. And don’t forget about the perks—like early access to new features and updates.
If you’re getting déjà vu from last year’s Exclusible Luxury Penthouses, you’re not entirely off. ZTX has taken that concept and made it infinitely broader, more centered on community, and free of land purchasing costs. Plus, it grants you a seat at the governance table. Talk about an upgrade!
Chris Jang, Co-CEO of ZTX, underlines their goal of providing infrastructure for creators to scale up and offer diverse 3D experiences. “We are committed to being a long-term partner for the many builders in the web3 space,” said Jang.
Oliver Maroney, who leads Gaming Partnerships at OpenSea, concurs. “ZTX is pushing the space forward. Great games powered by NFTs will help the gaming industry evolve,” he noted.
ZTX is a joint venture by South Korean metaverse platform Zepeto, owned by Naver, and Jump Crypto. The venture recently closed a $13 million seed round led by Jump Crypto and involving other notable investors.
So, ready to step into your Genesis Home and change the way you interact with the metaverse?
