Amazon is set to launch 1KIN Lab’s new Web3 gaming subscription on its platform. The new service, developed by the company behind GR1D Network, aims to enhance users’ experience with exclusive content and early access opportunities within its GR1D TERMINAL platform and GR1D ecosystem.
Amazon Makes Deal to Change Gaming
1KIN Labs recently announced the launch of its GR1D TERMINAL platform and 1PASS subscription service on Amazon. The project is set to offer a “unified discovery and management hub” for content across several networks and change blockchain-based gamers’ experience.
The new platform will allow users to explore the extensive Web3 gaming ecosystem and delve into numerous titles, aiming to transform how gamers discover, manage, and collect exclusive rewards across Web3 and simplify the sector’s “fragmented” gaming landscape.
Following its closed Beta period with over 25,000 participants, the platform seeks to introduce “new levels of interoperability” and user-friendly features, offering access to a growing catalog of Web3 games across networks like Solana, Avalanche, Polygon, and others.
Moreover, 1KIN Labs also announced 1PASS alongside GR1D TERMINAL. The new subscription service will be available on Amazon, allowing players to unlock exclusive content, early access, and special discounts through the newly launched platform.
Like Xbox Games Pass, Amazon Prime Gaming, and other traditional Web2 subscription services, 1PASS subscribers can pick from monthly unique in-game assets and other exclusive content provided by over 100 Web3 games and studios within the GR1D ecosystem.
1PASS will be the first Web3 gaming subscription on the Amazon platform, enabling distribution to the multinational e-commerce company’s massive user base.
Web3 And Blockchain Gaming ‘Promising’ Future
The announcement follows the launch of the modular Layer-2 (L2) gaming-focused blockchain, GR1D Network, in June. The network is set to foster an ecosystem where gamers can easily interact with exclusive assets and rewards and “ensure a dynamic and interconnected future for the industry.”
Jack O’Neill, founder of 1KIN Labs, emphasized the company’s goal to make blockchain gaming more accessible and gratifying for users through a unified and friendly ecosystem:
With the GR1D TERM1NAL, we’re taking a major stride toward realizing our vision of a more cohesive and user-friendly Web3 gaming ecosystem. Our goal has been to create a single access point that bridges the gap between various games and blockchain networks. In essence, we’re bringing the ease and convenience that gamers have come to expect from platforms like Xbox Game Pass into the world of blockchain gaming. This is about making Web3 gaming more accessible and enjoyable for everyone involved.
Similarly, industry experts discussed the future of Web3 gaming, the sector’s shift and maturity at the 10th edition of the European Blockchain Convention (EBC10) in Barcelona.
As reported by Bitcoinist, Pablo Monti, BingX’s Brand Manager, highlighted the sector’s growth after moving from the “play-to-earn fever” to a service supporting the broader gaming industry.
Meanwhile, Sebastien Borget, co-founder and COO of The Sandbox, underscored how players experiment with blockchain and earn their first NFTS through gaming.
Borget noted that blockchain games have become a gateway to Web3, emphasizing that the industry has moved toward empowering the creator economy to offer a “fresh approach” to the challenges of traditional Web2 gaming.
