The corporation Kyuzan (headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, representative director Takashi Takahashi) which develops the NFT platform "MINT" and NFT games (*1), together with the corporation GameWith (headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President Takuya Imaizumi, Securities code: 6552), has reached 300,000 downloads for the NFT game "EGGRYPTO" (hereinafter "EGGRYPTO"), which is easy to play with an app jointly developed by both companies, as it celebrates its first year of service.

The background of EGGRYPTO's growth

EGGRYPTO is an NFT game that can be played easily for free with an app. Previous NFT games and blockchain games had a challenge in that they had a high hurdle to start and it was difficult to acquire many users. EGGRYPTO is an NFT game that uses blockchain technology, but has a game play and interface that is easy to play like a general game app since it does not require specialized knowledge or complex operation in blockchain or cryptocurrency. As a result of this, it has continued to grow its users since service began.

Furthermore, EGGRYPTO provides revenue not only through token sales, which are common in general NFT games, but also through in-app purchases of non-NFT-related premium content. This creates a virtuous cycle that increases demand for NFTs held by current users or NFTs released in the game by realizing the continuous growth of revenue for the NFT game and growing its number of users through the development and promotion of further content.

The future prospects

EGGRYPTO aims to achieve a NFT game with a scale of one million users at an early stage by devoting more effort to development and promotion toward the growth of a worldwide NFT game. Moreover, we will develop the second and third NFT games with domestic and foreign game companies and IP holders through partnerships, based on KYUZAN Core, a technical foundation supporting the world's largest NFT games such as EGGRYPTO, operational know-how for EGGRYPTO's game system, and successful business cases for NFT games. We are also recruiting partner companies for this purpose.

About EGGRYPTO

EGGRYPTO takes place in the world "Astral" protected by the world tree. Various original adorable monsters appear there. Players can enjoy hatching, strengthening, and fighting monsters in quests. Additionally, it has become a completely automated auto battle RPG in which battle scenes are fully automated, so even game beginners who are not familiar with RPGs can enjoy it casually. Throughout the entire game, players can easily play with cute monsters and lovely background music in their free time.

Some rare monsters that appear in the game have a limited issuance number and become digital assets (NFTs) issued and managed by blockchain. NFT-issued monsters can also be connected to each other by exchanging and other ways among players.
