What to Expect from Elynxir Music Metaverse

The Elynxir game is set to launch this week on Polygon (MATIC). As for the AR scavenger hunt experience in Miami, it’s a “Rock Band meets Pokémon Go experience,” as described by Inder Phull, the CEO and co-founder of Pixelynx. One good reason for this comparison underlies the fact that Niantic, the original Pokemon GO developer, provided the Niantic Lightship engine for the AR sets.

Besides, Pixelynx is working along with Unreal Engine to bring an upgraded version of the digital experience, which aims to bring music fans closer to their beloved artists. Exploring the intersection of music, Web3 and gaming come faster for those who purchase the Droplet NFT by Deadmau5. The Droplet NFT digital collectibles will serve as an early access pass to the Elynxir music metaverse.

The winning players will have voting rights to decide how a metaverse artist should evolve, in a similar manner to KINGSHIP, the Bored Apes NFT musicians. The metaverse band of Bored Apes has Hit Boy and James Fauntleroy in its roster. As if that wasn’t enough, multi-platinum hip-hop producer Timbaland launched a Bored Apes NFT-themed label called “Ape-In Productions”.

On the Flipside

• Besides Animoca Brands and Ventures, the now-defunct FTX crypto exchange also played a key role in the first seed round.
• FTX’s sister company Alameda Research actively invested In the funding round, in which Pixelnyx grossed $4.5 million.
