**VALLETTA, Malta – Sept. 10, 2024** – MetaverseME, a platform focused on connected digital experiences, is bringing its ecosystem of products to the Hedera EVM to boost gaming on the network. This includes the launch of the ME! GamerID and ME! Avatar App, built in partnership with thirdweb.
The ME! GamerID is a single sign-on account that seamlessly integrates with the Hedera EVM and offers a gasless Web3 wallet experience. This addresses current challenges within the Hedera ecosystem for gaming, including friction around NFT association and wallet creation. The GamerID also enables seamless integration with other game studios, unlocking a larger ecosystem for developers.
“For years, the dream of Web3 Gaming and Metaverse initiatives has been frictionless interoperability across multiple virtual realms,” said Alex Russman, VP of the Consumer Engagement Fund at the HBAR Foundation. “MetaverseME and thirdweb are delivering on this vision.”
The ME! GamerID provides users with a powerful passport within the ME! gaming ecosystem, reducing sign-in friction and consolidating wallet balances and assets in one place. Users’ digital collectibles transcend individual projects, creating a unified experience across the ecosystem.
The ME! Avatar App, the first product to integrate the ME! GamerID, is now available in beta on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Users can create and personalize their avatars with digital assets secured on the Hedera EVM, dive into games, capture augmented reality videos, and showcase their style and achievements on social media.
The first game to feature the customizable ME! avatar is KickOff Evolution (KOE), a 5-a-side multiplayer football game built on the core technology of United Football.
“Our mission is to connect users, their content, and the world via the Hedera EVM to create value across Web3,” said Martyn Hughes, CEO of MetaverseME. “We chose Hedera for its robust, scalable network, excellent technical support, dedicated community, and demand for great content.”
Users can download the ME! Avatar App today and claim their limited edition digital collectible, created to reflect the innovation and community spirit on Hedera.
