Today, the Ultra team is excited to welcome EOSeoul as a new Block Producer, alongside Ubisoft, Bitfinex and EOS Rio!
EOSeoul will join the launch of our public testnet, which should take place in the next couple of weeks.
EOSeoul, runs by NEOPLY, a subsidiary of the Korean gaming company NEOWIZ, is one of the most established BPs of the EOSIO ecosystem.
The technicality of their team, combined with their community and business geographical reach in Asia represents great additions to Ultra as a blockchain gaming ecosystem.
“I’m thrilled to have EOSeoul on board of Ultra’s Blockchain, they have a thorough understanding of block producing operations and are very well connected in the Korean game industry. South Korea is a major gaming market with leading e-sports infrastructures we intend to address with the help of partners like EOSeoul.”
David Co-CEO of Ultra.
EOSeoul’s responsibilities, besides validating transactions and securing the network, will consist in providing feedback to the Ultra blockchain team on the launch of the testnet, and the switch to mainnet. Together, Ultra and the block producers will work to make the Ultra blockchain launch and the token swap as smooth as possible.
“I’m so pleased to join the most anticipated EOSIO based project Ultra as a block producer alongside industry leaders like Ubisoft, Bitfinex and EOS Rio. Ultra is a game platform built with the world’s most advanced blockchain software, and as our root is a game developer, I can’t wait to contribute to the Ultra community as BP and game developer.”
