Ledger, a company which provides security for critical digital assets and Web3, has launched its first Metaverse initiative on The Sandbox to support, protect and educate users regarding all aspects of digital ownership and cryptocurrency.
Co-created with Metaverse creative agency Swipe Back, the Ledgerverse is an immersive map featuring the ‘School of Block’ which educates users to ensure they’re ‘Metaverse-ready’.
This includes how to identify scammer threats and phishing traps that they might encounter online through a storyline that’s complete with characters, virtual missions, and secrets to uncover.
Users will be able to play games with unique rewards while learning about protection in the Metaverse.
An estimated $14 billion was lost to scams in the crypto space in 2021.
“The big challenge for brands entering the Metaverse is telling their stories in meaningful ways that can’t be done in real life,” said Max Vedel, co-founder at Swipe Back.
“We’re really excited to team up with Ledger to build surreal adventures that educate users on the growing threat of crypto scams, and to create storylines they’ll remember.
“The Sandbox is famous for its ability to curate gaming experiences and opportunities to monetise and win from them. It was an ideal canvas to help Ledger build this attractive virtual destination that offers an escape from the day-to-day, as well as highlighting the brand’s benefits and insights.”
Mo El-Sayed, head of education and community at Ledger, added: “Education today is outdated, boring, and overly complex. We are thrilled to bring truly Web3 educational tools to our Ledgerverse with game architects like Swipe Back and a truly immersive platform such as The Sandbox.
“Ledger is your universal key to keeping digital assets safe in the metaverse. Now you can learn about your metaverse and explore your digital identity through our immersive games.”
