Introducing zKorp: The Future of Onchain Gaming Built on Starknet

In the dynamic world of blockchain, zKorp stands out as a notable innovator in onchain gaming. Over the past two years, they’ve developed 10 games and won five gamejams, demonstrating their commitment to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. But zKorp’s ambitions extend beyond these achievements — they are focused on creating a new future for gaming.

A New Vision for Onchain Gaming

zKorp’s approach to onchain gaming goes beyond individual titles. They are building a connected game world, where multiple games coexist and interact within a larger ecosystem. This vision leverages blockchain’s ability to offer transparency, security, and true asset ownership, giving players unprecedented control and influence.

Powered by Starknet and the Cairo VM

To bring their vision to life, zKorp is building on Starknet, a Layer 2 network that enhances Ethereum’s scalability and security. The Cairo VM, a virtual machine optimized for Starknet, enables zKorp to develop efficient and secure games that seamlessly integrate with the blockchain. Additionally, Realms L3 provides the scalability needed for their complex, interconnected game worlds.

A New Era Begins

With their first game set to launch on the mainnet in June, zKorp is poised to make a significant impact. This launch marks the beginning of a new era in onchain gaming, where decentralized technologies redefine the player experience. zKorp’s work could be a catalyst for broader industry change, making them a key player to watch.

In summary, zKorp is not just creating games — they are pioneering the future of onchain gaming. Their innovative use of Starknet and the Cairo VM, combined with a visionary approach, positions them at the forefront of this exciting transformation.
