Otherworld will launch "Solo Leveling: Unlimited (SL:U)", a digital collectible platform, and open its first season 'Prologue' to the public on December 23. This platform, based on the globally popular Korean webtoon “Solo Leveling”, which has amassed over 14.3 billion cumulative views worldwide. The collectibles platform will operate on the Space Network, an independently constructed Layer 1 (L1) blockchain by OtherWorld, built on Avalanche.
SL:U faithfully integrates the original storyline, characters, and style of the webtoon into a digital collectible platform. The immersive experience mirrors the protagonist's journey of opening dungeon gates, hunting monsters, and leveling up. Designed to captivate both existing fans and new users, the platform preserves the essence of the original story.
Originally a web novel published in 2016, Solo Leveling gained worldwide acclaim as a webtoon before expanding into animations and games. Known for its unique narrative and compelling characters, the series has been a flagship title representing Korean webtoons globally, with a strong fanbase in regions such as North America and Japan.
SL:U is an Interactive Collection and Reward System (C2E: Collect to Earn). SL:U offers a unique twist on collectible card experiences where collectors can open dungeon gates to acquire monster cards and uniquely power them up through upgrades. The platform rewards dedicated users with weekly rewards for those who successfully upgrade their card collections and exclusive Shadow Monarchs (NFTs) for top-ranking collectors each season. Built on blockchain technology, our reward system ensures complete transparency in distribution, eliminating common concerns about unclear reward mechanisms or manipulated algorithms found in traditional digital platforms.
While Otherworld has incorporated blockchain technology, it aims to provide services that are user-friendly for the general public. SL:U offers login capabilities through familiar social media accounts, along with convenient payment options including easy payment systems and credit card transactions. Traditional blockchain services have presented barriers with their requirement for blockchain wallet logins and cryptocurrency payments for transactions, creating significant hurdles for mainstream users. These complications often discourage potential users from engaging with such services. To address these challenges, Otherworld collaborates with Crossmint to provide a seamless user experience that eliminates these traditional barriers to entry.
Otherworld has built its own Layer 1 Space Network, but the platform isn't limited to a single blockchain. Through partnerships with Nestree and LayerZero, users can freely move their tokens and NFTs across different networks using the Nestree Bridge. This enables quick and flexible asset transfers between blockchains. To target the global market, SL:U has announced a range of partnerships. Joint marketing efforts with Animoca Brands Animation Foundation are in the works, while collaboration with popular Korean cosmetics brand VT-Cosmetic will feature a product lineup incorporating NFTs. The OWN Token, Otherworld's native cryptocurrency, will soon be added as a payment option in SL:U and is expected to gain broader utility across various platforms starting with this initiative.
Otherworld holds exclusive Web3 business rights for 26 IPs from popular Kakao Page webtoons, including Solo Leveling and Ranker Who Lives a Second Time. The company plans to acquire more IPs to blur the boundaries between Web2 and Web3, further expanding digital content universes. It also aims to create an NFT-driven ecosystem for K-pop fans through a partnership with Cube Entertainment, utilizing K-pop artist IPs.
