KuCoin Labs Incubation Program I — The Incubation Thesis in UFORIKA
Background
Following deep analysis of massive open world environments, UFORIKA saw an opportunity to build a new virtual platform, blockchain enabled experience that would both inspire and empower, removing barriers to deliver an accessible environment to engage every user. Combining cultural, creative and professional passions, the UFORIKA vision was written with a driving ambition to liberate limitless creativity for the virtual world, embracing the digital revolution and ready to disrupt the existing status quo.
Since then, UFORIKA has been committed to building an environment that pushes technical boundaries, laying the foundations to enable a diverse community of users from all over the world. Through its innovative platform and technology approach, UFORIKA aims to empower users by putting the editing tools for content creators directly in the live game environment through a seamless and user friendly experience meaning, for the first time ever, users and players will be able to access a creator experience that was previously reserved for specialised developers.

UFORIKA’s 3 Pillars
The UFORIKA ecosystem is structured across 3 distinct pillars: IP / PLATFORM / GAME ENGINE TECH
This approach drives the UFORIKA business model:
Why Use a Custom Game Engine?
UFORIKA utilises new engine technology built by industry veterans, fit for purpose to mitigate the need to adapt and customise existing technology. The engine architecture is designed to embrace Web3, UGC, Fast Iteration and delivers substantial time and efficiency advantages. This supports the vision to deliver a seamless UX for users and players.
What differs from existing technology?
Massive open world metaverse platforms are evolving and should be built using a fit for purpose engine. Using existing technology means trying to adapt and customise something created for mobile games or first-person shooters, which UFORIKA isn’t. UFORIKA is much more than that. Bending old architecture through compromising systems will lead to massive quantities of bugs and workarounds.
