NHN Steps into Web3 Space in Partnership with Sui
Pebble Team is happy to share another exciting news.
NHN Corporation, one of the major global IT companies based in South Korea, has announced that it will enter the web3 space by joining forces with Mysten Labs’ Layer 1 blockchain, Sui. As a web3 gaming platform powered by NHN, we are thrilled to share the news as it will further strengthen our mission to provide accessible, high-quality blockchain games, supported by reliable web3 services.
NHN, the largest online board game service provider in Asia Pacific, is expected to contribute to the mass adoption of blockchain gaming by bringing its extensive experience in servicing high-quality games for a global audience and managing an in-game economy to the web3 industry. Over the past two decades, NHN has developed and published a wide range of games and has built expertise in servicing online board games, attracting over 37 million users with its signature game, Hangame Poker.
“Up to this point, there has been a lack of synergy between web3 and gaming,” said Ujin Chung, CEO of NHN Corporation. “That synergy will be driven by growth and sustainability, the kind of which is best served by the minds who honed this skill in web2, and have a proven track record of success in creating experiences that users enjoy. Through our partner selection process, Mysten Labs stood out to NHN for both their expertise as well as the innovative capabilities of Sui.”
NHN has partnered with Sui to bring its rich experience to the web3 space and create a better blockchain gaming experience. When it comes to servicing games, setting up the right blockchain infrastructure is essential for players to enjoy web3 games in a secure environment without delays, and to provide a gaming experience that is no different from web2 games. In addition, as games tend to attract high traffic, especially when new content and events are updated, maintaining stability and low gas fees is a crucial part of blockchain gaming. In this respect, Sui’s extensive technological capabilities, such as its high throughput and sub-second finality, will contribute to NHN’s initial efforts to develop web3 gaming projects.
As a blockchain gaming platform powered by NHN, we look forward to further collaboration between the two key players in the future as it will enable Pebble to deliver accessible, high-quality blockchain games, backed by reliable web3 services. NHN’s 20 years of experience in game development and publishing, backed by Sui’s blockchain infrastructure, is expected to further strengthen the joint efforts to bring the benefits of web3 to the masses and create a better gaming experience. This partnership is a huge step forward for our team and we hope that you will join us on our journey to fulfill our mission!
