XPLA (XPLA) Soars 37% as PLAY3 Pre-registration Kickstarts

XPLA, the native token of the Web3 gaming-focused layer-1 blockchain, XPLA, has surged by double digits following a recent development on the network. The XPLA team just announced that pre-registration for the gamified Quest & Rewards platform, PLAY3, has commenced.

According to data from CoinMarketCap, the coin has rallied from lows of $0.039 to at least $0.054. This surge was notably driven by community excitement over the news. Although the cryptocurrency has declined slightly by the time of writing, it still recorded a 24-hour increase of 19%.

At press time, XPLA was worth $0.044, with a 24-hour volume that had ballooned by 4,234% to $29.59 million. Despite the significant pump, the asset’s value is still about 96% down from its March 2023 all-time high of $1.40. On the brighter side, XPLA is up 83% from its all-time low, recorded two months ago at $0.024.

What is PLAY3?

Designed by the mobile game developer Com2uS Holdings, PLAY3 is a platform where every activity feels like a game. Users can complete quests, claim rewards, mint non-fungible tokens (NFTs), trade items, and launch memecoins with no complicated setups. 

PLAY3 is one of the decentralized applications (DApps) scheduled for release on XPLA in the first half of 2025, according to the network’s 2025 roadmap, which focuses on expansion. While the DApp is yet to be officially launched on XPLA, the network has kickstarted pre-registration. This opportunity gives early participants access to exclusive perks and rewards.

Some key features of PLAY3 include multi-chain quests, token vending machines, meme tree planting, and an NFT creation bench. Essentially, the DApp provides a platform that serves as a unified quest hub for Web3 communities. Members receive where tokens instantly and plant memecoin seeds to grow creative assets.

It is worth noting that PLAY3 has ongoing quests on its Telegram channel. Participants are encouraged to complete daily tasks, which involve inviting their friends to the platform, to earn rewards.

Offering Gamified DeFi Experiences

As part of PLAY3’s launch, the platform is partnering with gaming studio Supervillain Labs. The partnership will enable PLAY3 to bring the next-gen idle action role-playing game Supervillain Wanted as its first flagship title into the XPLA ecosystem.

Supervillain Wanted flips the traditional hero narrative. It gives players the authority to build a team of villains with powerful sidekicks to take on the virtual world. The game has been soft-launched on the layer-1 blockchain Aptos and has garnered more than 100,000 downloads so far.

Due to the upcoming launch on PLAY3, Supervillain Labs has revamped Supervillain Wanted, introducing enhanced gameplay systems and better visuals. This is geared towards increasing the game’s competitiveness in the market, as it will set the tone for future experiences on PLAY3 and XPLA.

In addition to giving users immersive and gamified decentralized finance (DeFi) experiences, the partnership between PLAY3 and Supervillain Labs will connect the Aptos and XPLA communities. It will also drive traffic and co-marketing across both ecosystems. 

“The collaboration expands beyond just one title — it’s about building an ecosystem where players, assets, and platforms move fluidly between chains,” XPLA noted last month when it was announcing the launch of PLAY3 and Supervillain.

Meanwhile, XPLA has three other DApps, including Vigilante, PLAWAR, and Diary of My Language of Flower, scheduled for launch before the end of the second quarter of the year.
