BLOGGA3ULL, 30 April 2024
This Earth Day marks 54 years since the inaugural event in 1970 catalysed the modern environmental movement. Aligning with this urgent cause, PLAYA3ULL GAMES is thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with Evertreen, the renowned global reforestation platform. This partnership entails a joint commitment to fund and support reforestation projects, leveraging our respective strengths and resources to make a significant impact.
To offset the energy used to power blockchain technology, PLAYA3ULL GAMES has sponsored planting 6,526 trees in areas threatened by deforestation across five countries. An additional number of trees will soon follow to match the number of PLAYA3ULL GAMES Nodes recently sold. PLAYA3ULL GAMES' reforestation efforts will remove 2,017 tons of atmosphere-warming carbon dioxide.
Evertreen is an impact-driven startup on a mission to recover lost forests at scale using technology and incentive systems structured around the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Their innovative app, which uses satellite imagery tracking, allows individuals and businesses to fund the planting of real trees. The app provides updates on the growth and health of the trees, giving funders a tangible way to see the impact of their contributions.
Since 2020, Evertreen has coordinated the planting of over 1.17 million trees across 14 countries, including the Philippines, India, Madagascar, Kenya, Ethiopia, Mozambique, the United States and more. Their reforestation projects restore native species in areas threatened by deforestation and land degradation. Beyond absorbing over 220,000 tons of carbon dioxide, these vital projects have also generated over 146,000 working hours to alleviate poverty by providing employment opportunities for local farmers who gain purpose in planting and caring for the restored forests. Moreover, reforestation supports biodiversity by creating habitats for various species, and it helps regulate water cycles, prevent soil erosion and improve air quality.
Evertreen's innovative approach empowers partners like PLAYA3ULL GAMES and you to take tangible climate action. Together, we can make forests flourish for future generations. Evertreen's network of certified local farmers, chosen for their expertise in selecting native species matched to regional soils and climates, is a testament to the power of collective action.
With esteemed partners like Evertreen, who share our vision of sustainability, PLAYA3ULL GAMES is poised to implement scalable solutions that benefit both our business and the planet. Reforestation, a crucial element in any strategy to draw down atmospheric carbon and restore precious forests, is at the heart of our Earth Day celebration. We are proud to announce that we are funding over 6,500 trees, a significant step towards a greener future.
Together our companies share an unwavering commitment to environmental sustainability and finding innovative ways to combat pressing issues like deforestation, biodiversity decline and carbon emissions.
The trees planted this Earth Day are only the beginning. As PLAYA3ULL GAMES continues expanding, we plan to integrate additional eco-friendly practices across our operations. These initiatives include matching all future node sales with reforested trees and other policies. From this day forward, a tree will be planted for every PLAYA3ULL GAMES Node purchased.
This Earth Day collaboration highlights PLAYA3ULL GAMES' dedication to minimising the environmental impact of blockchain technology. By joining forces with sustainability leaders like Evertreen, we aim to set the standard for ecological responsibility in blockchain gaming.
While PLAYA3ULL GAMES pushes gaming innovation further, we remain committed to ensuring environmental sustainability remains a core value. This Earth Day initiative represents the first step in an ambitious, long-term journey towards carbon neutrality. We are committed to making a significant and lasting impact on the environment.

More impressively, they are creating multiple mini-games under the Pixelmon IP, attracting the casual gamer audience. Diversifying out, LiquidX Studios also has an anime scheduled in 2025 under the name Stealth. This is one company not to be overlooked.
Notable Games - Pixelmon, Wardens Ascent, Warriors of Novathera, Kevin the Adventurer, and Pixel Pals.

The PLAYA3ULL GAMES team of Michael (Credi3ull), Ben (Transforma3ULL), Emily (Imagina3ULL), and Daelum (Likea3ULL) had the pleasure of attending the Australian Crypto Convention in Sydney, Australia on November 23-24, 2024. PLAYA3ULL GAMES was a registration sponsor for Aus Crypto Con. This included a nifty booth, panel talk, and a presentation about the state of crypto gaming and how PLAYA3ULL GAMES are innovating within the web3 space. We even had a mechanical 3ULL ride to celebrate the Q4 bull run!
Read our takeaways from the events below.
The 3ULL ride was a popular attraction at Aus Crypto Con.
The whole weekend was filled with excitement, and many new faces discovered PLAYA3ULL GAMES at our booth. We showed off our fantastic collection of games like NEXUS and ORDINEM, and people took the opportunity to share their details (either when registering their tickets or at our booth) to receive an exclusive 3ULL Coin drop after the event concluded. Meeting the local Australian community was also an incredible experience, as we were the only crypto gaming company at the conference.
Our mechanical 3ULL ride was a HUGE success! Riders eagerly tested their endurance, challenging themselves to see how long they could hold on. The top 10 riders with the best times shared in the total prize pool of $1,500 USD paid in 3ULL Coins. Everyone who participated in the 3ULL ride competition received merchandise from PLAYA3ULL GAMES.
Michael Hanlon (CEO of PLAYA3ULL GAMES) presents at Aus Crypto Con.
The atmosphere was electric as our CEO, Michael, gave a 25-minute overview of crypto gaming and its importance. Included in the presentation was:
The explosive growth of the gaming industry
How gaming can be the bridge to true mass adoption of Web3
The rise of Web3 gaming and how we got here
Key pitfalls and solutions for ensuring Web3 gaming is successful
How PLAYA3ULL GAMES is approaching this new frontier
Another key topic was the distinction between Web2 and Web3 gaming. This included comparing limited ownership (Web2) vs actual player ownership in the form of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) for Web3. Additionally, the play-and-earn model showcased how gamers can now generate real-world value. The presentation was insightful, and the crowd visited the PLAYA3ULL GAMES booth afterwards to learn more.
Insightful panel about the future of crypto gaming.
PLAYA3ULL GAMES hosted a great panel at the NEXA theatre that covered ‘Why 2025 could be the most transformative year for crypto gaming.’ It was moderated by Ivan Vantagiato (Crypto Serpent), with panellists Simone Clow (Zebrar), Ida Mok (W3GG), Alistair Rennie (Protocol Theory), and Michael Hanlon (PLAYA3ULL GAMES).
The panel revolved around the significant hurdles Web3 gaming encounters, including scalability challenges, user retention issues, and concerns about the sustainability of economic models. Security risks and the complexities of regulation compound these problems. However, technological advancements and more player-focused design approaches offer pathways to improvement. PLAYA3ULL GAMES is a compelling example of innovation within this evolving space.

With over 30 games planned to be released in 10 years by PLAYA3ULL GAMES, we’re a dedicated and experienced Web3 gaming studio. We leverage popular video game genres and combine them with actual player ownership and rewards. With a thriving Discord community and two games already released on the Epic Games Store (NEXUS and ORDINEM). Our innovative games have already captivated the hearts of gamers and will continue throughout the years as we release more games and build utility for the 3ULL Coin.
Thanks for reading another exciting update from the PLAYA3ULL GAMES. The weekend was packed with enthusiasm, and we can’t wait for you to see what’s in store for 2025 and beyond.
Until next time, gamers - GG Well Played!
