Tokens.com Corp. (NEO Exchange Canada: COIN)(Frankfurt Stock Exchange: 76M) (OTCQB US: SMURF) (“Tokens.com” or “the Company”), a publicly-traded company that invests in web3 assets and builds businesses linked to crypto staking, the metaverse and play-to-earn gaming, is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Metaverse Group, has signed a partnership agreement with Aftermath Islands Limited, a controlled subsidiary of Liquid Avatar Technologies (CSE: LQID / OTC: LQAVF / FRA: 4T51).
“We have seen Metaverse Group launch multiple reputable brands into metaverses, and we are looking forward to showcasing new builds via the Buildathon in our metaverse to help attract new business.”
Aftermath Islands has granted Metaverse Group three islands in its Metaverse. The Aftermath Islands Metaverse is being built as an open-world, realistic graphics platform with islands that represent destinations in a global virtual game, with Pixel Streaming, no download and Proof of Humanity for its users. Metaverse Group can develop its islands with luxury establishments, marinas, concert venues, or other new exciting possibilities for brands and businesses. The establishment of this partnership is another step in bringing new brands and companies to life in web3. The companies will work together to find the best activations for the Unreal Engine 5 graphics being used in Aftermath Islands.

In addition to partnering with Aftermath Islands, Metaverse Group has partnered with Renovi to develop the metaverse’s first buildathon competition for architects, 3D designers and developers.
The competition, part of ‘Next Top Metaverse Build’, is encouraging university students, architects, and design professionals from around the world to create a variety of digital infrastructure, wearables and furniture intended for metaverse residential, retail, clubhouse and venue spaces. Entrants will need to work with Unreal Engine 5 to submit their builds – encouraging creators to develop designs that are similar to high-quality gaming for use in Aftermath Islands.
Competitors will have the opportunity to win a suite of prizes across various categories including $50,000 in land parcels, strong boxes (in-game tokens), gift cards, the ability to sell their creations as NFTs in collaboration with Aftermath Islands and more.
