HYPERCOMIC NFTs on zkSync

HYPERCOMIC is a leading DApp that has been created through collaboration between the top four webtoon productions in Korea and the Top three Drama production houses on Netflix, to realize IP3.0. The platform has launched a beta version of its HYPERCOMIC Play, and it is also working on a Webtoon Launchpad.

HYPERCOMIC is now planning to expand its offerings using multi-language support, allowing it to cater to audiences beyond Korea. The platform has already partnered with some of the leading organizations such as Pinkfong.

HYPERCOMIC has set itself apart with its Babyshark IP, which is currently in the works. This platform allows users to enjoy a wide range of offerings, while also extending its reach in the market.

The Head of Web3 Entertainment and Media at Matter Labs, Rich Kim, opined that the increased popularity of HYPERCOMIC demonstrated the growing demand for webtoons and their IP products. According to this executive, community support would play an integral role in delivering revolutionary products.

Transforming the Webtoon Industry with Web3 Technology

The Webtoon industry has a massive presence in the entertainment industry. With a valuation of $82 billion, this industry has continued to transform cultural narratives. Popular Korean dramas are now drawing their inspiration from Webtoon.

HYPERCOMIC has now become a major player in the industry, having released several web novels and webtoons. The platform is also working on multiple drama and film productions. Its contributions to the industry will see it transform Korean entertainment while demonstrating the influence of webtoons on different cultures.

While commenting on this development, the co-CEO of HYPERCOMIC, Teddy Nam, opined that the platform had already seen positive results within the first month of integrating its offerings with zkSync.

“Our community is interacting with our webtoon content more than ever before, and getting rewarded for doing so,” Nam said. “We are incredibly excited to further develop our relationship with our community, powered by zkSync, and for HYPERCOMIC to continue rewarding our valued users.”

HYPERCOMIC has claimed to offer more than just entertainment. The launch of IP3.0 seeks to create an ecosystem that will incentivize fans while fostering growth. The HYPERCOMIC and the upcoming Webtoon Launchpad also seek to give users a chance to participate in IP production.
