PlayToEarn’s Double XP Event Unites Web3 Gaming Leaders in Singapore

[Singapore, September 2024] – PlayToEarn’s Double XP Gaming Night, co-hosted with the Blockchain Game Alliance, brought together the who’s who of the web3 gaming industry in Singapore. Drawing more than 2,600 registered guests, the event delivered on its promise to connect investors, developers, and blockchain innovators, all with the goal of driving forward the rapidly growing world of web3 gaming.

GameDev Showdown: A Platform for Emerging Talent

One of the standout moments of the night was the GameDev Showdown, an exciting pitching competition featuring six up-and-coming web3 game developers. Competing for the top spot, each team presented their unique game concepts to an expert jury. The first-place trophy went to Stray Shot, developed by iBLOXX, a high-octane third-person mobile battle royale game featuring breathtaking graphics and adrenaline-pumping action. Its thrilling gameplay and high-stakes rewards system impressed the judges, securing its win.

The runner-up was YOM, a pioneering decentralized cloud gaming engine powered by Solana’s DePIN infrastructure. YOM’s vision of revolutionizing cloud gaming through decentralization resonated with the audience and judges alike, earning it a well-deserved second place in the competition. The GameDev Showdown not only highlighted these two exceptional projects but also underscored the wealth of innovation brewing in the web3 gaming space.
