Global leader in digital entertainment & blockchain
Animoca Brands, the global leader in digital entertainment, blockchain and gamification, was founded in 2014 by Yat Siu. Animoca Brands has built an ever-increasing galaxy of the most popular and widely played blockchain and Web 3 games.
The Company has amassed a large portfolio of over 380 investments on its mission to advance digital property rights and build the metaverse. By leveraging blockchain’s popularity, and through licensed agreements, traditional games and global brand names like Disney, Formula E and PowerRangers, Animoca has fast become the leader in the metaverse.
True digital ownership for all
The company is also using blockchain technology to develop and deliver a new asset class – true digital asset ownership – for game creators and players. Blockchain deployed in games allows for the creation of digital content (for example cars, swords, castles, land, and digital player cards).
The combined properties of ownership and rarity offer game players and collectors something that was not possible in digital content before the advent of blockchain, unlocking a whole new world that combines the games industry with blockchain technology.
