Warp Games announces official partnership with Meisten Labs to build on Sway.
By Chainwire, Wilmington, Delaware, November 12, 2024, Chainwire, Warp Games, an indie game studio
consisting of Web3 and veteran game developers who have a legacy in creating player-focused
games like LEGO Universe, Jumpgate, and Dragons
and Titans, is on a mission to onboard millions of players to expand the Warped universe,
an immersive blockchain-powered game where players' actions and decisions shape the
environment and influence each season's direction. After extensive exploration,
Warped Games selected Sway as the blockchain to support this ambitious vision,
thanks to its player-friendly approach and innovations in the move language. The announcement of Warped Games becoming an
official partner with Meisten Labserives at a pivotal moment for blockchain gaming.
With games like Off the Grid making strides toward mainstream adoption, this new collaboration
marks another significant step in expanding blockchain gaming's reach to a wider audience.
Greater than James Wing, head of AAA Gaming Partnerships for Meiston Labs,
commented on the greater than official partnership. Warped Games embodies what is exciting about this
greater than industry, founders and products that are built with passion to boldly address
greater than the wants of modern gamers. We are tremendously excited to partner with our
greater than friends at Warped and aid them in their journey to pioneer a new age of games greater than on Sway. Warped Universe. Empowering
players' player empowerment is at the core of Warped Universe's design. Here, players will be
able to engage in PvE action in single-player or co-op mode, with an innovative multi-genre design
giving players the flexibility to choose between turn-based or real-time genres across both ground and space gameplay. Players will also get to choose missions
that influence the broader, meta-game, affecting the balance of light and gravity for all,
leading to wild and chaotic scenarios as each season aims to build a unique solar system in
the universe. This level of control redefines what it means to participate in a player-driven virtual
world. Breaking barriers to blockchain accessibility One of the largest obstacles
facing blockchain adoption today is its intimidating complexity for newcomers.
Traditional blockchain experiences involve managing seed phrases, navigating wallets,
high fees, slow speed, and unfriendly, often intimidating transactions,
barriers that can alienate potential users. Sway's design eliminates these hurdles by
offering a seamless, user-friendly blockchain experience required by games like Warped Universe,
aiming to appeal to a mainstream gaming audience. With Sway's ZK login feature,
players can access the blockchain and create wallets using familiar credentials,
like PASCIs or existing logins, removing the need for seed phrases and technical know-how.
For those who prefer greater control, Warp Universe will also allow players to connect
their own self-custodied wallets, giving them the option to manage their assets independently.
This accessibility empowers users to focus on what matters most, the game experience itself.
Enhanced NFT utility with MovesUE's Move language and object model empower Warp Universe to create
NFTs that go beyond static assets, offering dynamic, context-rich tokens that evolve with
each player's journey. Sway treats each asset as an individual, on-chain object with unique IDs and
customizable fields, allowing
NFTs to reflect player progression and deepen in-game immersion. Innovations extend to the
use of closed-loop tokens for in-game purchases and season pass NFTs, which act as time capsules,
allowing players to revisit exclusive content from past seasons. With each season in Warp
Universe serving as a self-contained story arc, these
season passes aren't just NFTs. They're gateways to the game's evolving history, creating lasting
value and enhancing player ownership. Kiosk. Marketplace reimagined Kiosk is a decentralized
system designed for commerce applications on the SWE network, similar to traditional markets where
vendors sell goods or services from small, standalone booths. Just like in those markets, where individual sellers operate their own kiosks,
owning the products on display and managing their own sales, with kiosk, shared objects are owned
by individual parties who store assets and may list them for sale as well as utilizing custom
trading functionality, such as royalties and THE ability to rent assets.
Walrus. Redefining digital ownership in Warped Universe expands, decentralized storage will
play a crucial role in ensuring the authenticity and accessibility of in-game assets.
Meisten Labs' Walrus protocol is set to support this need, providing a secure and efficient way
to store raw data and
media files, such as images, audio, video, and other game assets, at low cost without
compromising performance. Unlike traditional NFTs, which often store metadata off-chain on platforms
like IPFS or AWS, Walrus enables both the NFT and its metadata to be stored in a decentralized
manner.
This integration introduces new ways for players in Warp Universe to experience genuine ownership of their digital assets, giving them the ability to store in-game captures or statistics,
and creating a more immersive and reliable player-driven experience.
High performance, scalability, and environmental responsibility in Warp Universe,
players aren't just playing a game,
they're building and defending entire solar systems each season, with their achievements
and digital assets minted and transacted on-chain in the background. This model requires a blockchain
capable of handling high transaction volumes both efficiently and affordably. Sway's high
throughput and low transaction costs make this possible, providing fast, cost-effective, and seamless on-chain transactions that support a robust gaming economy.
Sway also prioritizes environmental sustainability by using a Delegated Proof-of-Stake
DPoS consensus model rather than energy-intensive proof-of-work.
With its efficient directed acyclic graph, DAG, architecture, SWE can process large transaction
volumes with minimal environmental impact, aligning perfectly with Warp Games' vision
of a sustainable, responsible gaming ecosystem. Greater than, with Sway, we can create an immersive,
evolving on-chain gaming ecosystem greater than where players can own, modify, and evolve assets
without compromising the greater-than gaming experience,
said Adam Straney, managing director at Warp Games.
Greater-than. This approach lets us build an interconnected universe on a blockchain that's
greater-than fast, scalable, and environmentally responsible, supporting our vision of an greater-than
accessible, seamless player-owned economy. Gamers can focus on having fun, greater than with blockchain as a supportive
tool rather than the centerpiece.

Looking ahead with Warp Universe and Sway
Currently, the blockchain element in Warp Universe is the $WARP token,
ANERC20 token designed to give holders a voice in game
design, seasonal voting, discounts, potential rewards, and exclusives. While specific plans
for the token's future are yet to be announced, the Warped Universe team is committed to keeping
current holders top of mind as they explore expanding to the Sway blockchain. Plans for
the Warped token, on-chain assets, skins, seasonal passes, and other
elements will be shared in due time, stay tuned for updates. As Warp Universe continues to develop,
the teams at Warp Games and Myston Labs are dedicated to working closely together to explore
practical blockchain integration in games, enhancing player ownership, scalability,
and immersive gameplay. Together, through Warp Universe and the Sway
blockchain, they're building a unique, player-driven experience that showcases the future of blockchain
