GensoKishi ONLINE -Meta World-

What GensoKishi ONLINE -Meta World- does

METAP INC. (米塔數位有限公司), headquartered in Taipei City, Taiwan, operates GensoKishi Online, a blockchain-integrated MMORPG launched in January 2023 on the Polygon network as the Web3 evolution of its 2012 predecessor Elemental Knight Online (元素騎士オンライン), which won the Taiwan Game of the Year Gold Award. The platform fuses traditional fantasy RPG gameplay with crypto-native mechanics, employing ERC721 and ERC1155 NFT standards to enable player ownership of in-game assets, in-game ROND currency convertible to cryptocurrency, and a play-to-earn loop. Supporting infrastructure includes the MV primary token, MV Wallet with gasless transfers, the GENSO Marketplace, GENSO Maker UGC tool for 3D equipment design, a Scholarship NFT asset-management system (targeting 107%-109% annualized yields), and a GENKI reward token with a planned DOJO engagement mechanism.

The business monetizes through marketplace transaction commissions, microtransaction in-app purchases (terminated February 27, 2026), USDT staking fees via the MetaStar Hong Kong partnership, MV staking season-based rewards, advertising, and Scholarship NFT sales. Distribution is global with material presence in Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, and Hong Kong via iOS/Android apps, web marketplace, DEX integrations, and (in Japan) the FamilyMart App, supported by a community of 349K members, 80K wallet connections, 4.4M cumulative transactions, and 8M+ historical downloads. Target users are Web3 gamers seeking play-to-earn income, crypto investors pursuing staking-based yield, and 3D designers / cosplay creators monetizing via UGC contests.

The operation did not achieve sustainable economics: monthly revenue of approximately JPY 2 million against monthly costs of approximately JPY 10 million produced a recurring monthly deficit of roughly JPY 8 million. On February 26, 2026, METAP INC. announced service termination effective April 30, 2026; following an MOU signed April 21, 2026, the company executed an Official Agreement on the Transfer of Operations on June 4, 2026, handing the service to an undisclosed third-party transferee company while preserving the option to relaunch the game under new management.
