NOBORDERZ

What NOBORDERZ does

NOBORDERZ is a Dubai-headquartered Web3 technology company that develops XANA, an NFT-based metaverse platform where users connect, play, create, and earn through avatar-driven virtual experiences. The platform is anchored by proprietary AI-powered NFT avatars (XANA Genesis, a 10,000-unit collection with conversational and emotional capabilities, plus PENPENZ AI pet avatars), a decentralized NFT marketplace (XANALIA), and the $XETA ecosystem token listed on KuCoin, Gate.io, OKX, and Bitget. Supporting products include XANA Land (virtual real estate), NFTDuel (a Web3 fighting game), and corporate NFT services bridging physical merchandise (notably with AEON Retail at approximately 350 stores) with digital collectibles.

The company's revenue is generated primarily through NFT primary sales (Genesis AI and PENPENZ collections), secondary-market royalties on XANALIA, virtual land sales, wearable NFTs, and event revenue from hybrid real-metaverse experiences such as the XANA Festival series. It serves a diversified customer base spanning individual NFT collectors and gamers, Japanese local governments (Tottori Prefecture, Oarai Town, Koto Ward), large enterprises (AEON Retail, JTB, JCB, BreakingDown), entertainment properties, and educational institutions (CAFAIC in China). Go-to-market is community-led via Discord, Twitter, and a DAO with 500+ creators, supplemented by exchange AMAs, influencer partnerships, and hybrid events.

NOBORDERZ operates across five jurisdictions — Dubai (Global HQ), New York (US HQ), Tokyo (Asia alliance), Indore (India, engineering), and Lahore (Pakistan, engineering) — with a wholly-owned XANA JAPAN subsidiary led by CEO Yuji Mizoguchi since April 2023. The company has secured a J&J joint venture with JTB and JCB for metaverse commercialization, and has established itself as the first mover in Japanese government metaverse adoption, though it remains privately held with no disclosed institutional funding rounds.

Scale indicators15 records

Recent moves4 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Decentraland: Decentraland is one of the largest NFT-based virtual world/metaverse platforms where users buy LAND, build experiences, and monetize. Directly comparable to XANA in offering NFT land sales, avatar-based interaction, virtual events, and an integrated marketplace - both target creators, gamers, and brands seeking metaverse presence.
• The Sandbox: The Sandbox is a leading Web3 metaverse platform with NFT LAND, avatar customization, and creator-driven game experiences. Closely comparable to XANA's land sale economics, GameFi mechanics (NFTDuel vs. Sandbox games), and brand/music partnership strategy (e.g., XANA Festival vs. Sandbox Alpha events).
• Otherside (Yuga Labs): Yuga Labs' Otherside is a Web3 metaverse built around NFT avatars (NFT interoperability, in-game asset standards). Comparable to XANA in the AI-avatar/Genesis style NFT collection strategy and entertainment IP tie-ins (Bored Ape/Yuga IPs are analogous to Astro Boy/Ultraman/CryptoNinja partnerships).
• Magic Eden: Magic Eden is a leading multi-chain NFT marketplace and aggregator. Comparable to XANALIA as a decentralized NFT marketplace serving both individual collectors and enterprise brands with primary/secondary trading and marketplace commission economics.
• Axie Infinity (Sky Mavis): Axie Infinity is a flagship Web3 gaming (GameFi) platform with NFT-based play-to-earn mechanics. Directly comparable to XANA's NFTDuel GameFi product and the broader play-to-earn economics with crypto-asset in-game currency.

Broad incumbents

• OpenSea: OpenSea is the largest general-purpose NFT marketplace and lists XANA's PENPENZ collection. An incumbent for XANALIA's marketplace ambitions in trading volume and liquidity, but operates broadly rather than specializing in the XANA metaverse vertical.
• Roblox: Roblox is a major mainstream metaverse/gaming platform with creator monetization, avatar customization, and brand experiences. Overlaps with XANA's avatar, gameplay, and virtual event use cases for enterprise/government customers, but does not use NFT/blockchain rails.
• Meta (Horizon Worlds): Meta Horizon Worlds is Meta's flagship VR/metaverse platform. Competes for enterprise virtual events, brand activations, and government/citizen engagement opportunities that XANA is pursuing, but as a broad Big Tech incumbent rather than a Web3-native specialist.

Emerging players

• Gala Games: Gala Games is a Web3 gaming network with NFT in-game assets and play-to-earn mechanics. Overlaps with NFTDuel on GameFi mechanics and XANA's in-game asset standards infrastructure, but focused on a portfolio of games rather than an integrated metaverse.
• Immutable: Immutable provides Web3 gaming infrastructure (NFT minting, marketplaces, asset standards) for game studios. Adjacent to NOBORDERZ's NFT minting/marketplace (XANALIA) and in-game asset infrastructure roadmap, but focused on enabling third-party games rather than a single integrated metaverse.
