This summer, Jadu will release avatars developed for mobile AR. The Jadu App should also appear in the TestFlight beta and allow players to connect their Ethereum wallets to the app, choose a favorite NFT avatar, and access AR gameplay.
Jadu plans to support 3D NFT avatars from Deadfellaz, CyberKongz, FLUFs, VOIDs, ChibiApes, Meebits, and other collections.
The Web3 Metaverse Index is a comprehensive directory of virtual worlds and immersive experiences built on decentralized technologies, including blockchain and peer-to-peer networks.
Jadu’s successful fundraising of $36M for their Web3 AR gaming platform is an exciting development for the gaming industry. As Web3 technology continues to evolve, the potential for immersive gaming experiences and new forms of interaction between players is rapidly expanding. It will be interesting to see how Jadu leverages this funding to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the world of gaming.
