Japanese gaming company CyberStep Inc. unveiled plans to expand beyond its online gaming roots into Web3 and digital assets, marking a strategic shift for the entertainment firm.
The Tokyo-based company will launch a biometric-enabled crypto wallet that supports NFC technology, allowing shareholders to receive NFT benefits and manage Web3 tokens. The wallet aims to simplify digital asset management for users new to blockchain technology.
CyberStep also announced “Eggle,” a blockchain game utilizing the ERC-6551 NFT standard. The company claims the game will eliminate ethereum gas fees through ERC-4337 paymaster integration, lowering barriers for new players.
In a bid to diversify revenue, the firm will establish CyberStep Ventures to invest in startups and manage cryptocurrency investments. The company is also entering influencer management, focusing on YouTubers and VTubers.
The expansion includes digital stamp rallies for tourism, metaverse development for regional revitalization, and artist management services. CyberStep will issue NFTs to shareholders, which can be exchanged for “meme coins” and other benefits within its entertainment ecosystem.
