What is Ancient8 (A8)?

Ancient8 is a blockchain platform focused on building DAOs and infrastructure layers for the GameFi domain.

As the largest blockchain gaming guild in Vietnam, Ancient8 allows anyone to build and participate in metaverse games through scholarships, education, community, institutional research, and blockchain software products.

The project’s vision is to democratize social and financial access in the Metaverse. At the same time, Ancient8 (A8) is on a mission to reach, educate, and empower the next 100 million Metaverse users through blockchain technology.

Games in cooperation with Ancient8

Ancient8 integrates many NFT and Play to Earn games into its platform, including: Axie Infinity, CyBall, Thetan Arena, Sipher, Legends of Elumia, Angelic, Nekoverse, Puzzle Royale, OpenBlox, Delysium, Summoners Arena,…

The main components of the Ancient8 platform

Scholarships

There are many people interested in Play to Earn games, but they are not earning much due to the increasing demand for NFT required to play.

Ancient8 addresses this supply and demand imbalance through scholarships. Here’s a deal: Managers or Guilds (Ancient8) lend NFT assets to new players (Scholars) and earn a reward from Scholar activity.

Ancient8 provides additional value to their scholars through educational services and to game project partners by investing in their in-game assets at attractive discounts. These investments will create more scholarship opportunities for project members.

Ancient8 is constantly recruiting new scholars and preparing them to play at the most competitive levels. Scholars’ success will continue to draw attention to Ancient8’s Guild and its partners’ games.

Education

Education is one of the core components supporting the current and future growth of Ancient8.

Ancient8 offers an exclusive curriculum, curated to suit scholars’ individual abilities and experience levels. The project prepares its scholars for success in the Metaverse, thereby bringing more profits to the Guild.

  • Ancient8 Academy: Help new members overcome GameFi and Metaverse’s complex learning curves and earn exclusive rewards.

Community

The project also collaborates with leading blockchain communities in Vietnam and globally to enhance market access for their gaming partners.

Ancient8 NFT

This is a platform that allows you to Mint (mint) NFT on Ancient8. This NFT collection is called Saint Giong. Saint Giong is one of the four immortal saints (four immortals) of Vietnamese history, next to Tan Vien Son Thanh (Son Tinh), Chu Dong Tu, and Princess Lieu Hanh. He represents the strength and heroic spirit of the Vietnamese people in overcoming difficulties and hardships.
