What ZTX does

ZTX is a Singapore-headquartered Web3 virtual world and creator platform founded in 2022, built on the technology, IP, and 500M+ user base of ZEPETO (Asia's largest metaverse, owned by Naver). The platform is operated by The ZTX Organisation, a Cayman Islands legal entity, and combines a mobile social-gaming app (iOS and Google Play) with a virtual livestreaming product (ZTX Live). Core infrastructure is built on Arbitrum Layer 2 for low-cost blockchain transactions, and the ecosystem is anchored by the $ZTX governance token (10 billion fixed supply, TGE October 16, 2023) and the Genesis Home NFT collection of 4,000 District Home NFTs across four self-governing Districts (Games, Arts, Financial, Fashion).

The product surface spans avatar creation (Avatar Builder), user-generated assets and creator monetization tools (UGAs), an in-app marketplace with fees routed to the DAO treasury, and a cross-chain bridge to Ethereum. The platform targets four primary personas: crypto-native Web3 users seeking digital asset ownership, ZEPETO legacy users transitioning into Web3, digital creators monetizing wearables and assets, and casual gamers participating in social and competitive play. District sub-DAOs with their own treasuries handle community governance, and a buyback program funded by platform revenue supports token burn and ecosystem incentives.

ZTX is a privately held, venture-backed company that closed a $13 million seed round in August 2023 led by Jump Crypto, with participation from Collab+Currency, Parataxis, MZ Web3 Fund, and others. Revenue mechanics include NFT primary mints, secondary marketplace transaction fees (directed to the DAO treasury), creator chain partnership airdrop campaigns, and planned in-game purchases, although no revenue figure is publicly disclosed. Geographic restrictions apply to token-related activity in the USA, China, Singapore, and South Korea, while overall distribution targets global consumers via mobile app stores and the ztx.io web platform.

Revenue model

1. Token Economics ($ZTX): The $ZTX token serves as the native currency of the ecosystem with three primary use cases: governance (protocol-level voting), purchasing (in-platform transactions), and in-game benefits. Token buyback program funded by platform revenue supports token burn, incentive pool, and treasury.
2. NFT Sales (Genesis Homes): Initial NFT collection of 4,000 Genesis District Homes sold via mint, with ongoing secondary market trading on OpenSea. Each home serves as in-game asset with gameplay utilities and District governance access.
3. Marketplace Transaction Fees: Marketplace transactions incur fees (Marketplace Transaction Cost) that are transferred to the DAO treasury. Third-party NFT marketplace transactions may also be subject to additional fees.
4. Creator Chain Partnership: Partnership with Creator Chain enables airdrop farming campaigns and token distribution, with whitelisted viewers able to earn up to 2% of token supply through tips during ZTX Live streams.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• ZEPETO: Asia's largest metaverse platform with 500M+ users, owned by Naver. ZTX is built directly on ZEPETO's technology and IP, making ZEPETO both the foundation and the closest incumbent benchmark.
• Roblox: The dominant user-generated 3D gaming/metaverse platform with tens of millions of DAUs. ZEPETO itself competes directly with Roblox, and ZTX inherits that competitive frame for the Web3 layer.
• Meta Horizon Worlds: Meta's consumer VR/metaverse platform with avatar-based social worlds. A broad incumbent competing for the same general metaverse mindshare, though not Web3-native.

Direct peers

• Otherside (Yuga Labs): Yuga Labs' Web3 metaverse built around the Bored Ape and Otherdeed NFT ecosystem. Comparable to ZTX as a token-gated 3D virtual world with land NFTs and creator-driven content.
• The Sandbox: Web3 metaverse platform with user-generated voxel experiences, LAND NFTs, and SAND token. Shares ZTX's focus on creator monetization, avatar-based social worlds, and NFT asset ownership.
• Decentraland: One of the largest Web3 metaverse platforms with virtual land, avatars, and a native MANA token. Directly comparable to ZTX as a blockchain-based social virtual world with NFT land/assets and DAO governance.
• Axie Infinity (Sky Mavis): Pioneer of play-to-earn gaming with native AXS token and NFT creature ownership. Comparable as a Web3 gaming platform combining token rewards, NFT asset ownership, and community governance.

Emerging players

• STEPN (Find Satoshi Lab): Move-to-earn Web3 platform with native GMT/GST tokens. Comparable as a consumer-facing Web3 application leveraging token incentives for user engagement, though with a fitness focus.
• WAX (Worldwide Asset eXchange): Blockchain gaming and NFT marketplace with WAXP token. Overlaps with ZTX as a destination for NFT gaming assets and virtual goods trading.
• IMX (Immutable): Web3 gaming infrastructure and marketplace platform with zkEVM scaling. Comparable to ZTX in the Web3 gaming/metaverse stack with NFT asset standards and a creator-focused ecosystem.
