We're excited to announce our latest ecosystem partnership between Laguna Games and Sequence, marking a significant development in the gaming world with Crypto Unicorns! This collaboration underscores our commitment to supporting game developers in creating user-friendly web3 experiences and games that players will love.
Explore the exciting world of Crypto Unicorns, the seamlessness of the Sequence Wallet, and how this ecosystem partnership is changing the way players interact with blockchain gaming and the broader web3 environment.
Crypto Unicorns: Introducing a magical world of web3 gaming
Crypto Unicorns is a web3 game and multiverse built on the Polygon blockchain.
Band together with other Unicorns and build your Unicorn empire or join the dark side, where Shadowcorns plot their dominion.
The core gameplay of Crypto Unicorns centers around a real-time strategy survival experience. Build, breed, quest, and defend your digital Land plots. Test your mettle in the arena with PVP jousting.
Take it a step further by combining your Lands with other players to create unique in-game Tribes. The Tribe pumps the efficiency of member Lands and plays a pivotal role in creating, managing, and defending your economy.
Equip your favorite Unicorns with Gems and send a squad into the Dark Forest, where the Shadowcorns and their minion armies lie. While dangerous, this area contains precious resources that you can use to level up your base.
If you own Shadowcorn on the other hand, you can amass a Minion army and deploy them into the Dark Forest. Minions will steal Unicorn harvests, sabotage quests, and can overwhelm a Unicorn squad. They may even bring back a Unicorn soul, which you can consume to ascend your Shadowcorn even further.
Which side are you on? Who said you had to choose? You can join both!
🦄 Where it all started
As part of their strategic roadmap, Laguna Games, the studio behind Crypto Unicorns, decided to move away from the extractive nature of Free-to-Play models. Instead, they're embracing a player-centric vision and economy. This approach is built on the team’s promise to ensure that web3 gaming is a source of enjoyment, creativity, and community, rather than a means of extracting money from players. This visionary approach not only shapes the core ethos of Crypto Unicorns but also extends to how the game is funded. During the initial stages of the game's development, funding was facilitated through token issuance. Whoever would acquire these tokens was given governance power over some of the future updates and features of the game.
This governance model mirrors the team's dedication to players, ensuring their voices are heard and valued in shaping the game's trajectory. This takes place within the Unicorn DAO, where all governance-related discussions are shared and explored by other community members.
Another remarkable aspect of Crypto Unicorns is its flexibility in gameplay. There's no single prescribed way to enjoy the game, making it accessible and engaging for a wide range of play styles. The diversity in gameplay loops is complemented by the transformative power of web3, enabling true ownership of in-game items.
Now, players have the option to hold these items to take part in a constantly evolving multiverse or freely buy and sell them on external marketplaces, putting players firmly in control of their gaming experience.
Crypto Unicorns and the Sequence Wallet: Your gateway into web3
Crypto Unicorns is shaking things up for the better in the world of entertainment and gaming, making players an active part of the multiverse's journey and success. However, it's important to recognize the hurdles associated with incorporating blockchain and web3 technology into this vision. In the past, game studios have encountered difficulties in seamlessly introducing players to web3 experiences. Wallet creation through third-party solutions placed the responsibility on players to manage extra login credentials and required them to remember seed phrases for account recovery.
Questions naturally begin to arise: why subject players to complicated processes just to enjoy a game? Shouldn't gaming be inherently fun and straightforward? Shouldn't web3 technology enhance the gaming experience rather than introducing unnecessary complexity? We’re here to let you know that there’s a solution — Sequence. At Sequence, we've experienced the challenges firsthand. Back when we were developing Skyweaver, which was named the best blockchain game of 2022, we faced a significant obstacle — there were no user-friendly onboarding solutions. Players were required to have a deep understanding of blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies, and transaction fees. Moreover, the infrastructure for development was highly fragmented, if it existed at all.
That’s why we built Sequence and in this case, it’s where the Sequence Wallet comes into play as an easy, seamless, and user-friendly solution chosen by the team developing Crypto Unicorns.
Here’s how Sequence is enhancing the Crypto Unicorns onboarding experience. If you’re not already familiar with the game, imagine you're a player excited to dive into the exciting multiverse of Crypto Unicorns. No extensions or downloads are necessary for registration, and there's no need to remember complicated login details or seed phrases. You can simply create your account using your email address, social login, or various other user-friendly methods including a game’s existing authentication system. It's as easy as two clicks and in just a few seconds, you're ready to play.
Just the way it should be, right? 😊
But that's not all. The Sequence Wallet isn't just your typical web3 wallet; it enables the Laguna Games team to cover players' gas fees for their transactions and trades, making it convenient for players to acquire game items using their credit or debit cards, if they so desire. The Sequence Wallet also enables players to showcase their Unicorn collections in all their glory, complete with full artwork and metadata. Sequence facilitates seamless trading or swapping of these in-game items across 19 EVM blockchains and various devices, whether you're at home, on the move, or in the midst of your Unicorn jousting tournament.
“When we came across the Sequence Wallet, we just knew we had found something special. It not only changes the way players usually perceive and play web3 games, but also changes our own approach to blockchain technology, for both acquisition and retention efforts. Enabling players to access our games in seconds and offering them unique in-game services thanks to the Sequence Wallet was a total game changer for us.”
— Mitchell Vella, Head of Marketing and Partnerships at Laguna Games
The Sequence Wallet delivers Crypto Unicorns’ players the web3 gaming experience they deserve: fun, fast, safe, intuitive, and enriched. It allows these players to enjoy the game and opens a gateway to the entire web3 ecosystem, where players can truly own items, play an active part in key roadmap decisions, and live new gameplay experiences like never before. Sequence is a solution that has already been leveraged by hundreds of thousands of players on web3 gaming titles and platforms such as Magic Eden, BoomLand, Mighty Action Heroes, and Planet Mojo.
“Engaging, lively, and gratifying – these are the words that come to mind when I think of Crypto Unicorns. It's evident that a tremendous amount of passion and expertise fuels this game, and I'm delighted that we can make a contribution with the Sequence Wallet. Our smart wallet, crafted by game developers, serves as the perfect invitation for the gaming community, offering them the opportunity to revel in blockchain-enabled gaming. Developers should be immersed in perfecting their gameplay and world-building, while players should focus on enjoying the game, rather than grappling with the complexities of setting up a wallet. Everyone deserves a secure and smooth transition into the next era of gaming, and Sequence ensures just that. Crypto Unicorns not only inspires players to explore the potential of blockchain in gaming but also underscores its unwavering commitment to exceptional gameplay and world-building.”
