Tier One Entertainment begins venture into Web3
One of the Philippines’ first gaming and esports organizations, Tier One Entertainment, has recently announced its intention to venture into the Web3 ecosystem via three main projects.
Its first project, the Alliance program, will see Tier One Entertainment recruit a lineup of influencers and personalities to create content for the Web3 ecosystem.
The second project involves Web2-based gaming tournaments in partnership with Web3 guilds, while the third project is related to Tier One Entertainment’s own Web3 platform — a gaming-focused launchpad for games from curated Web3 developers — which the company has revealed is already in development.
According to Tier One, besides attracting developers and investors, the platform is designed to be a way for the Web3 community to connect with its creators.
Tier One vice president of crypto Adam Vinluan commented as follows regarding the company’s upcoming Web3 integration and how the company would distinguish itself from competitors, per BSC News: “The first thing we worked on before going into Web3 was to go through the due diligence of understanding what the space is all about and what gap we can fill in its ecosystem. Tier One’s strength is the traffic and the reach that we have.”
“The thought process was with all the IPs that we have and the marketing machinery that we’ve created, we’re positioned to utilize the tools that are developing now in Web3 to provide more value to our community and our brand, ” said Vinluan to explain why the company is swapping to Web3 in the first place. He then revealed the outline of the company’s plans to develop the Web3 ecosystem.
“We are well-known for our talents and content. The main value we think we will bring in Web3 is our ability to generate and bring traffic through viewership and customer conversion,” said Vinluan.
“We want to be able to provide the marketing machinery that we have in Web2 to bring traffic to the existing and upcoming projects in the Web3 space.
