A Message from Andy Tian, CEO and Co-Founder of Uplive

Welcome everyone to our weekly update!

We are happy to introduce our newest game “Giftomon”. Blockchain games are another major area of focus for GIFTO, on top of virtual gifting. Leaders of our game production team include some of the best planning managers and art directors from my time at Zynga. Giftomon is the first blockchain game developed by AIG’s gaming team.

Giftomon world, 8 different species of Giftomon run free. Players may collect and breed Giftomon to create their own personal collection. Players can then challenge their opponents to battles and strategically breed Giftomon to acquire new combat strengths or go to the marketplace to trade, buy, sell or rent Giftomon. No two giftomon are alike and the game uses blockchain technology to record ownership and store all transactions. Come and embark on a journey into this colorful, adventureland with us!
