The
VGX
Foundation,
a
Cayman
Islands
Foundation,
has
partnered
with

Genopets
to
integrate
the
VGX
token
as
a
reward
in
their
popular
move-to-earn
NFT
mobile
game
on
Solana.
The
partnership
introduces
VGX
as
a
reward
token
in
the
Genopets
game,
creating
utility
and
rewards
for
using
VGX
within
the
Genopets
ecosystem. 

VGX
is
a
token
that
bridges
multiple
chains
and
is
focused
on
bridging
utility
across
GameFi
and
gaming
ecosystems. 

Genopets
launched
in
2021
and
is
one
of
the
largest
games
on
Solana
with
more
than
200k
active
players
during
their
private
beta.
It’s
a
free-to-play
mobile
game
where
players
summon
digital
pets
(their
“Genopet”),
which
evolve
and
grow
as
players
move
around
and
stay
active
in
the
real
world.
Each
day
players
bank
the
steps
they
take
in
the
real
world
to
earn
energy
they
can
use
to
upgrade
and
customize
their
Genopet
through
stages
of
evolution.
Now
VGX
can
be
awarded
to
players
for
the
Energy
they
earn
in
the
game.

The
partnership
starts
with
a
series
of
competitions
for
Genopets
players
to
earn
VGX
from
a
$150,000
prize
pool
by
banking
their
steps
daily
and
competing
on
the
Energy
leaderboard.
The
leaderboard
competition
is
open
to
new
and
existing
Genopets
players.

Additionally,
new
players
downloading
Genopets
can
claim
a
special
reward
of
rare
food
and
toys
for
their
Genopet
by
using
referral
code
“VGX”
when
they
sign
up
as
a
new
user
and
bank
their
first
steps
during
this
campaign.

To
further
expand
the
partnership,
players
who
earn
VGX
will
also
be
able
to
take
their
VGX
to
Gala
Games
and
use
it
to
purchase
a
season
pass
for
Voyager:
Ascension,
which
will
unlock
further
rewards
in
future
games.

“We’re
thrilled
to
announce
a
synergistic
partnership
with
Genopets,
an
original
leader
in
web3
gaming
on
Solana,”
said
Claire
Abrehart,
Director
of
VGX
(BVI)
Ltd.
“This
collaboration,
alongside
our
recent
success
with

Gala
Games,
further
unlocks
new
possibilities
for
the
VGX
ecosystem.
By
integrating
our
token
with
both
Genopets’s
vibrant
player
community
and
the
dedicated
Gala
Games
audience,
we’re
fostering
an
innovative
future
for
in-game
rewards
and
experiences
across
the
Web3
gaming
landscape.”

“Partnering
across
foundations
to
bring
new
incentives
to
players
in
Genopets
with
leaders
in
Web3
Gaming
like
the
VGX
Foundation
and
Gala
Games
is
a
huge
opportunity
for
our
foundation,”
said
Jay
Chang,
Co-founder
of
Genopets.
“Genopets
was
created
to
make
living
an
active
lifestyle
more
fun
and
rewarding
by
bridging
physical
and
digital
worlds
and
there
couldn’t
be
better
partners
to
grow
our
foundation’s
ecosystem
with.”

Earlier
this
year,
the
VGX
Foundation
also
announced
a
partnership
with
Gala
Games,
using
the
GalaChain
SDK
to
integrate
VGX
into
Gala
Games
as
a
reward
token
used
to
acquire
in-game
items
and
unlock
engagement
opportunities.
After
integration
is
complete,
gamers
will
be
able
to
earn
VGX-based
rewards
for
in-game
achievements
within
specific
titles.
