Adoption of blockchain gaming coincides with the local cultural interests of various regions. Blockchain games experienced early growth in places like Southeast Asia, and continue to be welcomed by culturally attuned countries such as South Korea and Japan. We’re prepared to foster a more diverse regional acceptance of blockchain gaming so players can realize the value of true digital asset ownership. Here’s @ysiu’s take on how gamers are capturing the full value of in-game assets today, on BBC News.

Luvia and Open Campus have announced a strategic partnership to provide Vietnamese learners with portable, verifiable credentials through two initiatives: a personalized learning mobile app for high school and university students, and a learning management platform for schools. The initiatives integrate Open Campus ID and its verifiable credentials with the aim to modernize school operations nationwide. Through seamless integration with Open Campus ID, students using Luvia gain a lifelong, portable learner passport that can be recognized across institutions and platforms in the future. As learners demonstrate mastery inside the Luvia app and in the classroom, they earn blockchain-verified credentials that contribute to a trusted digital curriculum vitae that aims to facilitate job-seeking, grants, scholarships, international study pathways, and on-chain education financing. https://www.animocabrands.com/announcement/luvia-and-open-campus-partner-to-bring-verifiable-credentials-to-vietnamese-students
