Mahjong Meta Unveils Revolutionary Web3 Esports Platform, Official Launch on August 7th
Hong Kong, Hong Kong, August 8th, 2023, Chainwire
Mahjong Meta, the web3 Riichi Mahjong esports platform, is excited to announce the official launch of its highly anticipated game on August 7th. After a successful two-month Open Beta test that captured the hearts of mahjong enthusiasts, the platform is set to revolutionize the mahjong gaming experience on-chain with its immersive and decentralized gaming experience.
In Mahjong Meta, players can not only participate in various matches such as Ranking, Tournaments, or Playgrounds with other real players, but they can also deploy their pets, known as "Tama," equipped with customized AI strategies for automatic mahjong battles. This feature has greatly reduced the barrier for new mahjong players and Web3 users, making the gaming experience more accessible and enjoyable.
During the Open Beta period, Mahjong Meta attracted over 15,000 players who collectively participated in more than 490,000 matches, showcasing the game's immense popularity and potential in the crypto-gaming world. The integration of web3 ownership economics, innovative AI-based gameplay, and stylish graphic design proved to be a winning combination, setting the stage for an extraordinary gaming experience.
Additionally, during the Beta phase, Mahjong Meta introduced 0xMahjong and 0xTama NFTs, with a total trading volume on Opensea approaching 500ETH, further highlighting the growing interest and confidence from the community.
The game's initial success at this stage can be attributed to its experienced core team which comprises professionals from renowned gaming companies like Tencent, NetEase, Lilith, etc. Inspired by the ancient classic and beloved game Mahjong, which continues to be popular among over 600 million players worldwide, Brice, the game designer of Mahjong Meta reveals that the idea of the game comes from the inherent mathematical beauty of Riichi Mahjong, blending strategy and probability, along with its enduring appeal in strategy, social engagement, gameplay deduction, and cultural significance. Mahjong Meta embraces the "Play to Own & Skill to Earn" philosophy, aiming to establish a blockchain-based Riichi Mahjong esports community and a Mahjong-themed gaming park, co-built with players and supported by asset ownership through blockchain and token-based economy.
The concept of Mahjong Meta, current development progress, and the platform's immense potential have attracted significant investments from prominent venture capital firms. Dragonfly and Folius led the funding round, underscoring their belief in Mahjong Meta's vision and potential in the gaming industry. Other notable investors include Meteorite Labs, Find Satoshi Lab, Parallel Ventures, and Emoote. The accumulated investment exceeds $12 million.
Upon its official launch on August 7th, Mahjong Meta unveiled all game-related features, including Ranking, Tama Master, Friends Room, and all NFT markets including Mahjong House, Tama, Fashion, Furniture, etc., offering players a more immersive game-fi experience within the ecosystem. In conjunction with the launch, Mahjong Meta will also offer additional community rewards with its vault system and additional referral rewards for players, encouraging more Mahjong enthusiasts to participate in this exciting gaming experience.
Join Mahjong Meta now as the game sets a new standard for Mahjong gaming, leveraging ownership economy from Web3 to create a real Meta for Mahjong players.

Peer Launches Augmented Reality-Based 3D Social Network On iOS
The ambitious social metaverse and Web3 startup Peer has hit a major milestone with the launch of its next-generation social app, available to download on iOS devices from today.
The Peer app is a novel social experience created using augmented reality technology and a proprietary ecosystem that enables people to explore and interact with the world around them in new ways, the startup explains.
“All the world’s a game and Peer makes everyone a player,” said Peer founder and Chief Executive Tony Tran. “Get ready for a new kind of social network that’s all about fun, joy and gamification at its core.”
According to Peer, the app combines geo-location technology with adaptive 3D maps to create a “game-like experience” of the physical world. With Peer, users will be able to customize and share maps of their own, unique social world, pinning their stories, memories and moments to real-world locations for others to find.
To understand what Peer is really about, try to think of it as a social network experienced in AR graphics overlaid across the real world. With it, users will be able to explore their physical location and locate digital objects and information that’s posted within their surroundings.
Peer will make it possible to overlay 3D graphics on top of the real world, integrating new experiences into our everyday lives. Unlike other social networks which simply focus on getting people to scroll through a newsfeed with their eyes glued to their device, Peer genuinely wants to get people out and about, interacting with real people and locations in the physical world. As part of this approach, users will be incentivized to post and explore digital content that’s tied to specific geographic locations.
Someone who’s feeling hungry will be able to use Peer to facilitate their search for a bite to eat. Simply open up the Peer map and look for nearby restaurants, and you’ll find directions overlaid onto the real world to make it easier to find them. As that person arrives at their chosen eatery, they may be able to pick up a digital coupon posted outside by the owner of the business, giving them a 10% discount on their meal. At the same time, the user will be able to check reviews from previous customers, helping them to decide if they want to give the menu a try.
Businesses will be able to use Peer to enhance their marketing efforts in creative ways. As an example, Peer created a video showing how an aquarium or dinosaur museum might get the attention of visitors by creating marine animals that swim across the skies, or virtual dinosaurs that roam around outside, enticing people to come and take a closer look.
As Peer explains, the Peer app is designed to enable discovery, community-building and other kinds of real-life activities. It will act as a creative canvas anyone can use to design and develop digital experiences that enhance our lives in the real world.
It’s an ambitious idea that has the potential to achieve one of the major promises of the metaverse, morphing digital elements into physical reality.
Peer said the Peer app is available to download on iOS devices now from the Apple App Store, and will be joined by an Android version that’s due to launch later this year. The company is also reported to be working on an AR headset that will make it possible to experience Peer in the most immersive way.
In the meantime, iOS users can expect to see additional features arrive in Peer soon. “In the coming months, we will deepen AI integration and deploy features that are sure to spark a new era of global interconnectedness,” Tran promised. “No social network puts the world in your hands like Peer.”
