BlockchainSpace, the leading Web3 community enabler in Southeast Asia, has teamed up with Smart Communications Inc. to explore Web3-powered solutions that connect communities, unlock new opportunities, and drive growth for all stakeholders.
“Filipinos have been at the forefront of utilizing Web3 since the peak of the pandemic. With millions already owning crypto wallets and participating in GameFi, the Philippines has consistently been one of the leaders of Web3 adoption in Southeast Asia,” Peter Ing, chief executive of BlockchainSpace said.
“Through this partnership, BlockchainSpace and Smart will continue to build on that foundation by enabling more communities to connect in a truly open, meaningful and secure manner,” he added.
Lloyd Manaloto, first vice president and head of Prepaid and Content at Smart said the partnership with BlockchainSpace aligns with Smart’s mission to empower Filipinos with the latest digital innovations so they can live more today,” said
He added the company has always been an early adopter of the latest technology and on the lookout for programs that appeal to the passion of its subscribers, which it can turn into more immersive experience.
“By leveraging the Philippines’ fastest and best mobile network, as recognized by Ookla, and the country’s widest 5G network, we believe that Smart is in the best position to unlock the value of Web3 in tandem with BlockchainSpace to benefit more Filipinos through accessibility and connectivity,” Manaloto said.
Since 2020, BlockchainSpace has empowered over 100 communities and raised $20 million from top investors, including Animoca Brands, Spartan Group, and Crypto.com Capital.
To further enable communities to thrive in the space, BlockchainSpace provides guild leaders, gamers, creators, and everyone in between with blockchain solutions as well as trademark community programs such as the Guild Partner Program and Creator Circle.
The Creator Circle, which will soon be publicly launched in tandem with Smart, has more than 150 creator sign ups regionally, representing an aggregate following of more than 20 million across all social networks despite only being in closed beta. It was introduced to empower those within the creator economy, an emerging type of market which connects creators to their fans and brands and allows the creator to monetize their content, output, or skills all while building a community.
The Creator Circle is a natural progression for BlockchainSpace as it enables the company to utilize its successes and lessons from supporting gaming guilds and extend similar tools, support, and opportunities to creators, artists, and influencers, Aspen Sañez, global head of marketing at BlockchainSpace, said.
