29 October 2024 - Animoca Brands, the company advancing digital property rights for gaming and the open metaverse, today announced a partnership with GEODNET, the world’s largest decentralized Real-Time Kinematics (RTK) network, to advance mixed-reality gaming and immersive experiences, and integrate cutting-edge location technology into consumer applications.
In addition, Animoca Brands has invested in GEODNET to support its growth within the Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) community, while driving the development of advanced location and mixed-reality technologies, bridging the gap between the physical and virtual worlds.
GEODNET will work closely with Mocaverse, the marquee consumer network with an interoperable infrastructure layer of Account, Identity, Reputation, and PointFi systems seeded by Animoca Brands, to help facilitate network growth and explore precise location integration into various consumer applications in the Moca Network.
Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, said: "We are excited about GEODNET's ultra-precise location technology, which opens up new possibilities for mobile and gaming experiences. Its DePIN of Satellite Miners provides centimeter-level accuracy, enabling developers to create engaging mixed-reality applications that seamlessly blend digital and physical worlds. We're also thrilled to welcome GEODNET into both the Moca Network and the broader Animoca Brands ecosystem, where its innovative technology can drive the next generation of location-based Web3 experiences.”
Mike Horton, project creator of GEODNET, added: “We believe Web3 gaming and ownership experiences will drive novel future use cases for GEODNET's precise Proof-of-Location, so we are thrilled to partner with Animoca Brands and the Mocaverse community.”
GEODNET recently passed a governance initiative (GIP4), paving the way for Web3 mobile apps powered by its precise location technology. The partnership between Animoca Brands and GEODNET aims to accelerate the fusion of blockchain with real-world experiences.
