SMAPE recently invested in LYNC — a blockchain infrastructure project focusing on building some of the rails of blockchain gaming.

LYNC is a modular infrastructure for gaming, NFTs, metaverse, social dApps and more. LYNC provides no-code SDKs and modular infrastructure to developers, enabling them to quickly build, launch, and scale web3 games and social dApps in the Move ecosystem and EVMs. LYNC allows game developers to embed an on-chain in-game economy without complicating and affecting the gameplay.

LYNC provides an end-to-end solution for (game) developers, game studios, game publishers and more. Their product suite includes:

  • Wallet Infrastructure: Users onboarding infrastructure to integrate with the VM by accessing zk proofs.
  • In-game economy and more: LYNC empowers the developers to integrate paymaster, in-game marketplace, on-chain randomness, and dynamic NFTs in the fastest possible way inside any dApps, games and more. LYNC also enables direct NFT checkouts with debit and credit cards to provide web2 like experience to end users.
  • NFT Infrastructure and Farcaster Frames: With a no-code NFT toolkit, LYNC allows (game) developers to launch their NFT collection or convert their in-game assets in minutes. LYNC also provides infrastructure for Farcaster Frames to unlock socialFi applications, as Farcaster is one of the best ways for communities to engage interactively.

In addition to that, LYNC is leading in the Move ecosystem. They are working closely with Aptos and Movement Labs to become the forefront of web3 gaming. More than 20 games are using LYNC in this ecosystem and more than 250+ games have integrated LYNC on EVM.

The LYNC team is tackling the lack of standardisation with the introduction of the two standards LYNC IDA (Interoperable Digital Asset Standard) and LYNC DNA (Dynamic NFT Asset standard).

LYNC is building the most advanced and scalable roll-up as a service within the Move ecosystem. Move VM is fast, safe, and scalable. LYNC is connecting the dots within Move VM, driving adoption, and empowering developers to leverage any Move VM with the developers’ tool attached to it — Creating a unified liquidity and unlocking interoperability.

LYNC is perfectly positioned in the intersection of new and existing gaming communities, web3 ecosystems, and blockchain technology adoption in mass applications.
