Access to Parachains
Mandala’s partnership with Polkadot grants the franchise access to numerous parachains that provide enhanced security, scalability, and collaboration with other projects. Mandala has selected several parachain partners to establish a Web3 “rebel alliance” that will assist in securely navigating the cross-chain landscape.
Astar Network
The Astar network offers infrastructure for NFTs created using EVM and WASM smart contracts. Astar’s innovative Build2Earn approach enables developers to earn income via a dApp staking mechanism for the code they create and the dApps they develop. Maarten Henskens, the leader of the Astar Foundation, said that the Mandala launch showcases the Astar Network’s potential to combine entertainment and blockchain innovation.
Unique Network
The Unique Network is an NFT-focused blockchain that allows NFTs to be divided into fungible tokens for shared ownership, combines fungible and non-fungible tokens, and enables sponsored transactions.
Polkadot Network
The Polkadot network provides innovative projects like Mandala Metaverse with access to advanced NFT capabilities, smart contracts, and DeFi. Parity Technologies, a major contributor to the Polkadot network, expressed excitement for Mandala Metaverse’s adoption of the Polkadot network. Parity Technologies comprises top blockchain innovators, core engineers, Rust developers, and solutions architects who launched Polkadot in May 2020 in collaboration with the Web3 Foundation and continue to support and advance the network.
In conclusion, Mandala Metaverse’s Cryptonauts NFT collection launch on the Astar and Polkadot networks is set to provide players with an immersive experience in the game. The partnership with Polkadot grants Mandala Metaverse access to numerous parachains, enabling the franchise to establish a Web3 “rebel alliance” and securely navigate the cross-chain landscape.
