Singapore, Singapore, September 17th, 2024, Chainwire

The world’s largest martial arts organization will leverage Sui’s technology for its products and highly anticipated mobile game ONE Fight Arena built in partnership with Animoca Brands

Sui, a cutting-edge Layer 1 blockchain, today announced it will be the official blockchain partner of ONE Championship (“ONE”), the world’s largest martial arts organization. ONE events represent the full spectrum of martial arts, with world-class athletes from more than 80 countries competing across MMA, Muay Thai, kickboxing, submission grappling, and other disciplines. The partnership was announced during a panel at Sui’s Singapore Builder House during Token2049, the world’s largest crypto event.

Through this partnership, Sui will be integrated into various ONE products, including ONE Fight Arena, the promotion’s highly anticipated official Web3-enabled free-to-play mobile game, built in partnership with Animoca Brands and its subsidiary Notre Game. ONE Fight Arena features ONE’s robust roster of world champion martial artists and vast IP library.

The mobile game will leverage Sui’s world-class technology to provide a novel gaming experience with true digital ownership at its core, while allowing ONE to directly engage with its global fan base in a deeper manner. 

Sui’s integrations will include a comic/manga series about ONE athletes accessible through zkLogin and powered by the Walrus protocol on Sui, a free-to-play pick’em game where fans can win a variety of rewards and phygital collectibles that blend physical and digital aspects.

“ONE Championship is the fastest-growing major global sports property and has established a reputation for being extremely forward-thinking and technologically innovative,” said Jameel Khalfan, Head of Ecosystem Development at Sui Foundation. “Being chosen as their official blockchain partner and being integrated into their tech stack is a validation of Sui’s growth and adoption trajectory and another opportunity to serve the sports community with Sui’s technology.”

As ONE’s official blockchain partner, Sui is expected to gain significant visibility and brand exposure during marquee scheduled events, which will be accessible in-person for thousands of people and broadcasted to millions globally into over 190 countries through a network of partners, including Prime Video, Sky Sports, Globo, Channel 7 HD, U-Next, Seven Network, and Disney+ Hotstar.

“In today’s competitive landscape, capturing attention demands high-quality, interconnected, and engaging experiences. By offering world-class events, innovative gaming, second-screen features, and leveraging Web3 technology, we aim to connect with fans on a deeper level,”, said Hua Fung Teh, Co-Founder and Group President of ONE Championship. “Sui perfectly aligns with these objectives, and we are thrilled to partner with them as our official blockchain partner to bring this vision to life.”

2024-09-18T15:17:51Z

Humans Ecosystem

TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, Sept. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Uzbekistan-based Humans ecosystem brings together all payment and transfer services under the Humans Pay brand and releases financial and operating results for the Humans Pay for H1 2024.

Following the acquisition of the Maroqand LLC's payment service in 2022 (operating under the UPay trademark), all services have been fully integrated into the Humans ecosystem, providing seamless financial solutions to users across Uzbekistan. This has allowed the company to significantly increase its share in all segments of Uzbekistan’s fintech market.

In the first half of 2024 alone, Humans Pay achieved several impressive milestones:

  • Customer Growth: The number of Humans Pay users increased by 45% compared to the same period in 2023.
  • Revenue Growth: Humans Pay generated over $5 million in revenue in the first six months of 2024, which is 65% higher than in the first half of 2023.
  • Transaction Volume: The number of transactions also showed consistent growth, amounting to 60 million transactions, which is 21% more than in the first half of 2023.
  • Turnover: The Humans Pay turnover in the first half of 2024 increased by 85% compared to the same period in 2023, underscoring the growing demand for its services.

Vlad Dobrynin, CEO and founder of Humans Group

Commenting on this remarkable growth, Vlad Dobrynin, CEO and founder of Humans Group, said, “We are seeing how the convenient and accessible services of the Humans ecosystem are rapidly gaining market share. Our client base is growing, along with the service’s turnover and capitalisation, and all these indicators prove Humans' significant role in popularising cashless payments and increasing financial literacy in the country. According to Western experts, the capitalization of the Humans Pay service alone amounts to 60 million dollars today. In turn, we see prospects for further active growth of the ecosystem associated with the dynamic development of Uzbekistan’s entire digital economy.”

Due to the high demand for the payment and transfer service, the company’s management made the decision to further develop all fintech services within the Humans ecosystem under the Humans Pay brand. This strategic move aims to solidify the brand’s position as the core driver of growth within the Humans ecosystem and continue its mission of empowering users with convenient and reliable financial solutions. As Uzbekistan’s digital economy rapidly evolves, Humans Pay remains at the forefront of transforming the country’s financial services sector, ensuring that cashless payments and financial inclusivity are accessible to all.
