Redwood City, CA, Oct. 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — MetaJuice, the blockchain-oriented subsidiary of Together Labs, today announced that it has closed its final VCORE presale. Strategic presale investment partners include some of the largest players in the crypto-metaverse, including Animoca Brands, Meta Impact Capital, BITKRAFT Ventures, Blockchain CoInvestors, Immutable X, DWeb3 Capital, Rosemoor Digital Assets, Peer Ventures, and Mirana Ventures. The investment will fuel the development of VCORE (www.getvcore.io), an ERC-20 token that will power the future of the metaverse by rewarding active, international players, creators and earners.
“We feel very fortunate to have VCORE and our move to Web3 backed by the leaders in the crypto-metaverse, crypto-gaming and blockchain assets spaces,” said John Burris, President and Founder of MetaJuice. “With the support of these strategic VCORE buyers, we feel very confident in our ability to bring VCORE to one of the largest social metaverse platforms in the world – IMVU.”
VCORE is a community-driven metaverse token, designed to power any virtual world’s economy by rewarding users for their engagement. This engagement is an integral part of the metaverse social/gameplay, creator-led economy and governance. VCORE will soon launch in IMVU, the world’s largest social metaverse and top-grossing social app, with a thriving virtual goods and services economy that includes over 200,000 active creator/earners and over 1,000,000 daily active users. VCORE will first be available for purchase worldwide to IMVU users resident outside of the U.S. and Canada.
“We see a lot of impressive tokens and projects in the crypto-metaverse space that have the potential to be transformative for the industry,” said Robby Yung, CEO of North American operations of Animoca Brands. “What we really like about VCORE is that it will be integrated into an already massive global community with a high-velocity metaverse economy, which right now sees 15 billion game credits exchanging hands every month. VCORE will immediately open up ownership and utility to millions of players.”

- Animoca Brands, a global leader in gamification and blockchain with a large portfolio of over 380 investments. Its mission is to advance digital property rights and decentralized projects to help build the open metaverse.

“Since we launched MetaJuice in 2021, it has been a company of firsts,” said Daren Tsui, CEO of Together Labs. “VCOIN was the first token to receive a no-action letter from the Staff at the SEC and now has nearly 1 million active wallets. MetaJuice is soon to complete one of the largest adoption events to date for NFT technology as it introduces NFTs into the IMVU platform. And now MetaJuice has successfully closed a highly strategic round for VCORE, the first token that will soon launch into a massive existing metaverse economy. MetaJuice and Together Labs are poised to revolutionize the crypto-metaverse.”
