Tokens.com and Hulk Labs plan to work with several local entities and universities within the DRC to identify and train a group of players to participate in the play-to-earn gaming economy.
In addition, Tokens.com will deploy play-to-earn assets to this network of players in the DRC to allow them to play top play-to-earn games using assets owned by Tokens.com and Hulk Labs. These assets will always stay in the custody of the Tokens.com team (via the Company’s proprietary technology platform) and will be permissioned to local DRC players that will be paid a commission for playing assets designated to them.
The DRC government will support this effort by providing drop-in facilities with high quality internet availability and by providing other local resources to support Hulk Labs and the player ecosystem.
In addition, the DRC has announced that Tokens.com, via its agreed upon terms, will be its exclusive play-to-earn partner for the next 36 months.
