[Performance Report] Rise in the Key Metrics of the XPLA Ecosystem

Good day, Pilots!

Welcome to another exciting update from ‘Explore & Play,’ XPLA!

Today, we want to celebrate the remarkable advancements within the XPLA ecosystem, particularly in terms of performance indicators. The introduction of our latest game, ‘The Walking Dead: All-Stars,’ (hereinafter ‘TWD: All-Stars’) has not only captivated a global audience but also triggered a notable surge across both Web2 & Web3 gaming metrics. This success is further complemented by the triumphant sales of Supernova Flashman NFTs, which have effectively united a community of Flashman enthusiasts with the XPLA ecosystem.

In this light, let’s delve deeper into the XPLA ecosystem’s performance, focusing on the pivotal metrics of ‘TWD: All-Stars’ and ‘X-PLANET’. This exploration will not only highlight XPLA’s current achievements but also underscore its pivotal role in paving a transformative path from the Web2 to the Web3 paradigm.

1. Rise in the total synced wallets and the percentage of Hive-Synced wallets in ‘TWD: All-Stars’.

The Percentage of Hive-Synced Wallets in TWD: All-Stars

As we navigate the XPLA gaming ecosystem, a key focus has been the proliferation of ‘total synced wallets’. This metric is crucial, as wallet synchronization to game accounts is the gateway for gamers to seamlessly transform their in-game accomplishments into tangible, real-world assets, unlocking the true ownership for gamers.

The launch of ‘TWD: All-Stars’ has marked a pivotal moment in this journey. The game’s popularity has driven a remarkable upsurge in the number of synced wallets, accounting for one-third of the entire count across XPLA’s gaming ecosystem. Given the presence of eleven games on XPLA, this is particularly remarkable! The significant impact of ‘TWD: All-Stars’ in this context not only underscores its success but also highlights its leadership in expediting the paradigm shift to Web3 gaming.

2. Buy-back of $XPLA from a portion of TWD: All-Stars’ Revenue

The fruit of our core ethos of transparency and fairness — we are excited to unveil a dashboard offering real-time insights into TWD: All-Stars’ buy-back activities! This dashboard serves as a window into the intricate workings of our ecosystem cycle, transparently showcasing the allocation of funds derived from the game.

What’s detailed on this dashboard is the process of how a portion of revenue from ad and in-app purchases is allocated for the acquisition of $USDC, which is subsequently used to purchase $XPLA. The $XPLA tokens are then redistributed back to the gamers, closing the looping cycle of our shared-revenue model. As of December 27th, a sum of $36,458 has been spent in the buy-back of $XPLA, demonstrating our commitment to fostering a sustainable economy.

XPLA deeply resonates with the significance of giving back to our community. What propels us forward is our mission of nurturing a Web3 playground where gamers’ time and efforts are recognized. The introduction of this dashboard is only a baby step we’ve taken so far — we are exploring more ways to truly reward Pilots in the best way they deserve, so stay tuned as we continue to evolve!

3. Web3 Success Cascading into Web2

The upward trajectory isn’t just limited to Web3; we’re also seeing positive trends on the Web2 front following the success of our Web3 gaming initiatives. Despite the skepticism often associated with blockchain gaming — perceived as an overly complex addition to traditional gaming or a mere marketing gimmick with limited practical application — we’re making significant strides in changing these perceptions.

Our approach, particularly with ‘TWD: All-Stars,’ is creating exemplary cases of what Web3 gaming can achieve. The introduction of Web3 elements into the game has led to remarkable results in Web2 metrics: a 42% increase in daily ad revenue, a 40% rise in daily new users (DNU), and a 20% boost in daily active users (DAU). These figures not only challenge the prevailing doubts about Web3 gaming but also highlight our ability to blend the best of Web3 elements into Web2 games.

Web3 Update Sparks Engagement Across APAC Nations

Following the Web3 update of ‘TWD: All-Stars,’ the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, particularly Southeast Asian (SEA) nations like Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia has witnessed a notable surge in engagement. The influx of new users from these countries has soared by an average of 35%, signaling a robust expansion in our user base. We are more than grateful to be embraced by the SEA region — one of the hugest contributors to the adoption and expansion of blockchain technology.

Key Metrics from the SEA Region

- Daily Active User (DAU) increased by 38%
- New Users (NU) acquisition by 38%
- Day 1 Retention improved by 12%
- Day 7 Retention saw a remarkable increase of 14%

This surge wasn’t limited to Web3 enthusiasts; it also sparked a significant increase in Web2 gamer acquisition as the game has broken through even in countries with Web3 restrictions. An example of this growth is seen in South Korea. Prior to the Web3 update, South Korea was already within the top three nations in terms of the user base for TWD: All-Stars. Post-update, the metrics from South Korea have been nothing short of extraordinary, reflecting the significant impact of Web3’s success on the Web2 landscape.

Key Metrics from South Korea

- Daily Active Users (DAU) increased by 2.5 times
- New Users (NU) rose by 2.8 times
- Day 1 Retention improved by 33%
- Day 7 Retention saw a remarkable increase of 55%

Most notably, it is a very surprising indicator that the retention on DAY 7 of playing the game is higher than on DAY 1. This is because user retention typically decreases over time in most games.

4. X-PLANET’s Exceptional Performance and Growth in the NFT Ecosystem

X-PLANET has marked a significant milestone in its journey, showcasing exponential growth and success in the NFT marketplace. A recent contributor to this achievement is the Supernova Flashman NFT project, which played a pivotal role in elevating X-PLANET within the NFT industry.

💡What is Supernova Flashman?

X-PLANET: The Highest-Grossing NFT Marketplace in South Korea!

The Supernova Flashman NFT project, celebrating the 35th anniversary of the beloved series, significantly bolstered X-PLANET’s success, generating an impressive revenue of approximately 140,000 USD. This achievement propelled X-PLANET to the top position as the highest-grossing NFT marketplace in South Korea for November, a milestone worth celebrating!🥳

Following suit was a significant increase in transaction volume on X-PLANET, which escalated by 65% from the previous month, marking a record high in daily transactions for November. Equally impressive were: the number of new wallets on X-PLANET soared by 180%, while the total number of visitors to the platform witnessed an increase of 950% compared to the previous month. These figures collectively underscore a dynamic and rapidly expanding user engagement with X-PLANET.

Leveraging Nostalgia and Anticipation

Launching a project that leveraged the robust Flashman fanbase proved to be a strategic success for X-PLANET. This approach not only resonated with the existing fans but also alluded to the potential success of future projects, particularly those centered around Super Sentai content.

Adding to this excitement is the growing anticipation for the upcoming fan meeting featuring the actual cast of the Supernova Flashman series. Scheduled to take place post-April, this event has already started generating buzz among fans! Ticket sales are planned to begin in late December or January, further fueling the enthusiasm and engagement within the community.

The Supernova Flashman NFT, priced at 150 USD, offers a collection of four exclusive Supernova Flashman limited edition merchandise items. These include: 1) Rolling Vulcan Figure Light (positioned on the right), 2) Photo card set, 3) Acrylic phone grip, and 4) Acrylic picture frame.

The launch of the Supernova Flashman NFTs marks a significant milestone, firmly establishing X-PLANET as a key marketplace within the XPLA ecosystem. Keep an eye on X-PLANET for a lineup of even more thrilling and innovative projects set to enrich the XPLA ecosystem through the below channels!
