In a striking blend of meme culture and blockchain gaming, 9GAG has teamed up with Affyn, a Web3 gaming metaverse. This partnership marks a huge step forward to integrate crypto culture with gaming. With that, 9GAG plans to infuse its well-known meme culture into Affyn's universe, starting with Buddy Arena, Affyn's latest MOBA game. 

Buddy Arena, now available on mobile devices, stands out with its Web3 elements. It allows players to engage in a play-and-earn ecosystem. The game runs on Omnia Sync Technology and a multi-chain ecosystem. 

Ray Chan, co-founder of 9GAG, announced the partnership, stating that: "9GAG will blend its meme culture with Affyn’s game character IPs to launch a set of limited-edition in-game items within its upcoming Buddy Arena game."

9GAG, based in Hong Kong, has carved a niche for itself as a hub of viral content with a massive following of 200 million users. It has evolved from its founding in 2008 into a diverse platform that shines a spotlight on Asian creativity. 

Affyn, on the other hand, is a fresh force in crypto gaming with the goal of creating a sustainable play-and-earn model. Their latest title, Buddy Arena, offers fast-paced battles and strategic depth with unique gameplay. 

The partnership between 9GAG and Affyn is more than just a collaboration; it's a bridge between two vibrant communities. As both parties look forward to enriching their offerings and expanding their audiences, fans can expect an exciting mix of entertainment, strategy, and blockchain innovation.
