Q1 Recap: Our 15 Metaverse Partnerships
Since our IDO in December, AAG Ventures has partnered with a myriad of Metaverse projects. Among these are various video games across different genres, including open-world MMORPGs, multiplayer combat strategy games, MOBAs, and 3D shooters. Many of these games mirror the gameplay of popular traditional games but set themselves apart by incorporating blockchain technology and NFTs. As we know, blockchain gaming allows players to have true custody of their digital assets which enables them to earn while enjoying games and adds unique gameplay elements that their counterparts do not have.
AAG Ventures is proud to announce our collaboration with these projects. As we continue to scale our guild, we intend to do so by expanding into these games. We are also building esports teams to represent the AAG brand in competitive gaming (See here for our upcoming Axie Infinity tournament with 8 guilds!). We are also continuing to make headway in building the software products for our platform. We plan to tailor these products and support our partner games first to create mutually beneficial synergies.
Without further ado, here are our partners!
Genopets
Genopets is a free-to-play game built on the Solana blockchain that incorporates play-to-earn mechanics through physical activity. Genopets has coined the term “move-to-earn” to describe this unique feature that the game hinges on — in which real-world movement and exercise translates into rewards.
Genopets is an activity-based RPG game that turns your real-life environment into a game realm. Your Genopet is your digital spirit animal and follows you everywhere you go. The game combines the nurturing and evolution mechanics of Tamagotchi with the training and battling of Pokémon.
Genopets gameplay converts players’ real-life movement into experience points (XP) used to progress through the game. That means that, whether you’re walking your dog, dancing at home, or just going about your everyday life, so long as there is movement, you’ll be rewarded in-game with XP.
AAG Ventures has invested in Genopets Habitats which will be deployed to our scholars who will also be participating in Genopets beta testing.
Heroes of Mavia
Heroes of Mavia is an MMO strategy game designed and developed by Skrice Studios on Ethereum’s Layer-2, Arbitrum. Players strategically build out their bases on plots of land and command an army to battle other players to earn in-game resources like GOLD, oil, and Mavia’s in-game token, RUBY.
Heroes of Mavia is inspired by Clash of Clans with similar game mechanics but the stakes are much higher now. RUBY earned is stored in the “RUBY chest” on the player’s base, and can only be withdrawn every 72 hours. During this window, it is susceptible to looting by neighboring bases so it is integral for players to fortify their bases to maximize their rewards.
AAG Ventures has invested in Mavia land NFTs and we are excited to onboard our scholars as the game develops.
Vulcan Forged
Vulcan Forged is an NFT game studio with 10+ games and ranks top 5 in marketplace volume for NFTs.

Players can earn $LAVA and forage special NFTs by playing any of Vulcan Verse’s play-to-earn games. There is a maximum amount of $LAVA that can be earned daily per game.
