- The ZTX playable beta will include select participants in offering a wide range of metaverse functionalities including rewards
- The ZTX playtests will be launched on Ethereum’s top scaling solution Arbitrum network
- The initiative is geared towards collecting crucial feedback from the participants to ensure a seamless public launch
An upcoming well-funded and structured 3D open-world platform, ZTX protocol, has announced the next phase of realizing its metaverse goal. Through a press release, the ZTX platform announced the launch of its first series of playtests that will encompass a select network of participants. Additionally, the ZTX platform noted that the first participants will get a chance to immerse themselves in a rewarding universe and in return provide crucial feedback to the core developers. As a result, the ZTX platform can guarantee future users of a seamless 3D open-world platform with deep metaverse resources including liquidity.
Closer Look at ZTX Playtests Attributes
Anyone interested in joining the ZTX playtests can purchase a non-transferable Access Pass, which can ostensibly be earned by securing the Genesis Citizen role on the ZTX Discord channel or through participating in the ZTX Community Week event. The ZTX initial playtests are expected to run on the Ethereum-based Arbitrum scaling solution. Earlier in July, the ZTX platform announced its intent to launch on Arbitrum to offer fast, affordable and secure Web3 services. The Arbitrum network can handle up to 7 times more throughput than Ethereum while still offering significantly lower gas fees.
The ZTX platform users are assured that their metaverse activities – including gaming and governance – are handled through a verifiable on-chain network. The first Playtest will introduce ZTX’s decorator mode where users, in the form of ZTX Avatars, can explore and decorate their land and homes in ZTX. Additionally, the initial version of ZTX virtual land will be published in a pre-decorated mode to inspire users on furnishing options. The item inventories are expected to be pre-seeded with various assets for participants to use when customizing their real estate.
More metaverse features – including harvesting, material ownership, trading and crafting – are expected to be added in subsequent ZTX private beta Playtests. Access to them will be awarded to active members of the ZTX community. After a successful series of ZTX Playtests, the public launch will be scheduled.
According to Chris Jang, Co-CEO of ZTX, the launch of early-stage playtests will set a huge momentum for its future growth prospects. Moreover, the early adopters have a chance to receive the $ZTX tokens through an airdrop, which has several use cases on the ZTX ecosystem besides crypto speculation.
“We’re thrilled to invite our community to experience ZTX from its early stages and build together. Active participants will be eligible to receive $ZTX token airdrop once the $ZTX Token Generation Event takes place later this year. Additionally, we will recognize and reward participants who provide valuable feedback on the game mechanics and create engaging content,” Jang said in a statement.
Trevor Owens, CEO of Ninjalerts, also expressed his enthusiasm about the Playtest as it will enable Web3 enthusiasts to not only participate in a metaverse project but also enjoy first-hand quality art creation.
“I’m excited to play the ZTX Beta, a next-generation metaverse that will take Web3 tech to a new level. Being a part of these early community betas is where all the action is. It’s where connections are made and the future is built. It also reflects how ZTX deeply values and engages its community in its vision and passion for creating a truly interactive virtual experience,” said Owens.
Takeaway Points
Founded in 2022 and backed by Jump Crypto and Asia’s largest metaverse platform ZEPETO, ZTX is building a vibrant Web3, 3D open-world ecosystem. The ZTX platform will soon be launching the Genesis Home Mint, which features a collection of 4,000 bespoke 3D district homes. The ZTX will have made a major leap in enabling a self-reliant metaverse ecosystem, especially after it recently revealed its first partner wearables in collaboration with Dust Labs, a leading Web3 startup powering the technology behind the DeGods and y00ts digital collections.
