Magnificent cross-chain, lore-driven, Web3 ecosystem, Mandala, is gearing up for its first major NFT drop via the Astar Network. Created by concept artist, Bruce Zick, the ‘Cyptonauts Collection’ will form the backbone of Mandala’s drive into the Metaverse.
Mandala itself offers up an interoperable, cross-platform, cross-chain Metaverse that spans TV, graphic novels, gaming and cutting edge AR. The project runs on the multi-stack Polkadot infrastructure that allows it to incorporate a number of its parachains, including Astar, Unique and Talisman networks. Through the Astar Network, Mandala will launch its expertly designed Cryptonauts NFTs.
The project aims to build a stunningly rendered ‘enlightenment’ universe utilizing the Unreal Engine to build out a AAA gaming experience. Which in-turn, will operate side by side in interoperable harmony with SingularityNet’s Sophiaverse, resulting in an incredible new experience far greater than the sum of its parts.
Within its folds, gamers will discover a rich and varied narrative where they will encounter a vibrant environment inspired by world mythologies, deeply immersive gameplay and a compelling storyline. All in all, guiding its players on a spiritual journey into the world’s very first Metaverse-based enlightenment simulator.
“Polkadot, the multichain ecosystem for Web3 adoption, has attracted Mandala Metaverse to its shores, where we will continue to build our cross-chain metaverse. Mandala and Polkadot have a shared vision for decentralization and cutting-edge interoperability. By joining Polkadot’s burgeoning ecosystem, we’re able to take advantage of the best-in-class secure interoperability the network offers.” – Jon Shankar – Mandala CEO
