Expanding the Global Mahjong Community and Promoting e-Sports Adoption through Web3 Technology and Investment from the Helika Accelerate Program
<a href="https://www.jannavi.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Jan-navi</a> Mahjong Online, a mahjong game with over 19 years of operational history, has been selected as the first Japanese project for the $50 million Web3 game acceleration program, Helika Accelerate. This selection marks a significant step for Jan-navi in expanding the global mahjong community using Web3 technology and promoting mahjong as a global e-sport. Helika's support will accelerate Jan-navi's expansion into overseas markets.
About Helika Accelerate
Helika provides a one-stop solution with analysis tools for both Web3 and traditional games. In partnership with leading VCs such as Pantera, Spartan Capital, and Sfermion, Helika has launched "Helika Accelerate." $50 million has been committed to the Helika Accelerate initiative. Participating companies receive support and can leverage Helika's expertise in tokenomics, chain selection, data analysis, marketing, and AI game management. They can also use on-chain data, in-game behavior history, and ad tracking data to build game design and engagement strategies.
Expanding the Global Mahjong Community and Promoting e-Sports
With Helika's support, Jan-navi aims to expand into global markets using Web3 technology. In February 2024, Jan-navi introduced the JN Token (<a href="https://wp.jannavi.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">White paper</a>), a sponsorship token to promote mahjong as a global e-sport. This allows the estimated 700 million mahjong players worldwide to connect through Jan-navi, making mahjong a tool for communication. The JN Token decentralizes e-sports sponsorship, lowering the barriers to entry for tournaments and contributing to the spread of e-sports. Additionally, with the funds raised through the Helika Accelerate Program, Jan-navi aims to further expand globally and reach players around the world.
Furthermore, the JN Token will be launched on Arbitrum Orbit alongside the MV Chain of Genso kishi Online, announced on May 31. Arbitrum Orbit adopts an architecture that connects multiple chains and ecosystems, providing low-cost transactions and a seamless user experience. This enables JN Token users to conduct transactions efficiently and economically, further promoting the integration of real mahjong parlors with online and offline gameplay.
Utilizing Helika's Data Analysis Power
Jan-navi aims to transform vast amounts of game data into valuable insights using Helika's advanced data analysis tools. This will enable detailed analysis of user behavior patterns and the development of strategies to enhance player experience. Particularly, implementing personalized marketing campaigns based on player preferences and behavior is expected to significantly boost user engagement. Jan-navi is jointly operated by its developer Winlight Co., Ltd. and Metastar Hong Kong. Moving forward, both companies will continue to collaborate on adapting Jan-navi to Web3 and expanding its global reach.
