In Brief:
- Wemade’s MMORPG MIR4 (official site) has racked up 24 million accounts alongside more than 40 million created characters.
- Its character NFTs have changed hands over 40,000 times, giving players a way to monetize the progress they’ve made in-game.
- EXDRA4, the utility token launched recently, deepens the title’s blockchain integration and utility.
Strong player engagement
Across the past five years, Wemade’s MIR4 franchise has kept its momentum, posting 24 million accounts and 40 million characters created. The 40,000-plus character NFT trades players have completed, however, look fairly modest when measured against the game’s broader engagement numbers.
Monetization through NFTs
Because character NFTs can be traded, thousands of players have a route to monetize their in-game progress — a concrete example of digital ownership landing inside traditional gaming. It’s a case study in how blockchain technology is being applied to improve the player experience.
New blockchain features
July saw Wemade roll out EXDRA4, the fourth season of its EXDRA utility token. Holders can swap it for WEMIX on PNIX DEX, move it between WEMIX PLAY wallets, or spend it on in-game items. Purchases made with WEMIX Coin also earn players EXDRA, tying in-game utility to blockchain payments.
Sustained economic support
Pinning down exactly how much blockchain has contributed to MIR4’s success isn’t easy, but it has built a durable economic layer where players trade characters, convert resources, and collect spending rewards. That framework is still running and still supported — something that can’t be said for many token systems launched in the wake of the 2021 boom.
As Wemade continues to develop its blockchain features, it emphasizes the long-term viability of its gaming ecosystem.
