Abyss World
Abyss World expects to become the first Cloud and Chain Native AAA-level MMO-ARPG. The 2M self-funded Metagame Team invested two years in building independently before drawing the backing of AMD, EPIC, and IGN.
Abyss World aims to take on the current weaknesses in the web3 gaming roster such as true re-playability and a AAA gaming experience on-chain. It intends to expand the market with planned asset/character interoperability, shared meta-resources, ecosystem-wide events, linked social systems, and cross-game incentives.
Abyss World has partnered with Octopus Appchain Candidate Portalverse, a decentralized cloud infrastructure layer, for cloud distribution to expand its total addressable market.
Check out the Abyss World Trailer.
Congratulations Abyss World!

DanceFit
DanceFit is a GameFi project combining three “x-to-earn concepts” — Dance, Watch, and Create-to-Earn. Between dancers, creators, and viewers, each faction has a shared contribution that benefits the platform. As such, DanceFit’s tokenomics and rewards system are highly developed, utilizing different types of NFTs that target different audiences relative to their position in the onboarding funnel.
The app’s vision is to create innovative solutions for improving daily lifestyles that make exercise more fun and immersive. But it also wants to bring a wider audience of people together in the meta-verse and therefore plans to implement AR/VR and virtual characters.
Check out the DanceFit UI demo.
Congratulations DanceFit!

Waldo DAO’s NFT-powered recruitment and recognition system is meant to make it easy for organizations to recruit and reward individuals or team projects in Web3 and Web2 without bias.
Seamless onboarding of Web2 users is built into its app by enabling the transference of existing Web2 recruitment profiles from job hunting platforms that sell users' data, such as LinkedIn, Indeed, and monster.com, allowing users sovereignty over their data while they seek out new opportunities.
