MetaArena has long been committed to advancing the adoption of zero-knowledge (ZK) technology in more realistic and complex scenarios. In the early stages, we used on-chain gaming as the entry point to build a ZK-optimized game engine, aiming to enable developers to execute and verify complex logic on-chain with lower barriers and higher performance. With a series of tools and components, MetaArena has not only significantly reduced the technical cost of on-chain game development but also provided a truly operational use case for ZK technology in the gaming sector.
As the engine system achieved breakthroughs in multiple directions, on-chain games could, for the first time, run stably on a “provable execution environment,” and ZK gradually became the core capability supporting game logic, behavior auditing, and state changes. With the maturation of these capabilities, MetaArena’s technological boundary naturally expanded from “verifying games” to “verifying broader on-chain activities.” This means we now have the foundation to move to a higher level: building a trusted execution layer for universal scenarios, allowing complex operations, task flows, and cross-application collaboration to share the same trust baseline.
Based on this, MetaArena has evolved from an early focus on ZK game infrastructure to a trusted execution engine platform for a wider range of scenarios. As the underlying architecture becomes more refined, the focus of platform development has shifted toward how this execution capability can serve more applications, users, and real-world scenarios to drive ecosystem expansion.
Against this backdrop, MetaArena plans to acquire Wombat, marking the official first step in our ecosystem expansion. As one of the most mature user entry points in the Web3 gaming space, Wombat has a large player base, rich game content, and a mature task system. We aim to leverage its user scale, content ecosystem, and distribution capabilities to bring MetaArena’s trusted execution capabilities into more real-world scenarios, ensuring that the underlying technology no longer remains at the level of frameworks and demos but directly serves the daily activities of millions of users. Wombat will become the starting point for MetaArena’s ecosystem expansion and the main entry point for more games and applications in the future.
Taking this acquisition as an opportunity, MetaArena will launch a multi-million-dollar ecosystem expansion plan from Q4 2025 to Q1 2026, continuously acquiring applications with established user bases, scenario potential, and long-term operational value across multiple categories. By systematically introducing more content and use cases, we aim to gradually build a sustainably growing application matrix, allowing the trusted execution layer to play a role in richer real-world operations and driving the platform into a new growth cycle.
Wombat is currently one of the most influential user entry points in the Web3 gaming space. As a one-stop aggregation platform, it provides millions of users with a standardized path to access Web3 content, allowing players to experience various games and applications across multiple chains with a near-Web2 experience. With long-term accumulation in content aggregation, user growth, and operational systems, Wombat has gradually formed a stable user loop structure. Its task system, reward mechanisms, and multi-platform support also give the platform a clear advantage in scaling.
Compared to a simple game launcher, we see that Wombat has effectively become one of the most important “frontend traffic layers” in Web3:
It controls users, content, distribution channels, and operational tools, enabling player behavior, asset accumulation, and task participation to be unified within a closed-loop system. This structure brings stable retention and continuous growth, making Wombat one of the few Web3 application products capable of supporting large-scale ecosystem traffic.
For MetaArena, as the foundational execution capability gradually matures, we need more real-world scenarios for the trusted execution layer to function effectively, and Wombat provides a scalable and immediately usable entry point. It not only brings a large user base to MetaArena but also allows the underlying technology to directly correspond to actual behavior paths.
Wombat is expected to fill the long-standing “content supply” gap for MetaArena. MetaArena provides the underlying execution capability, while Wombat provides users and content. The combination creates a clear synergistic effect: execution capability enters real scenarios, user behavior receives trusted verification, and the content ecosystem gains distribution capacity, accelerating the overall ecosystem.
Additionally, acquiring Wombat will bring MetaArena a series of quantifiable benefits, including fee streams from task execution, digital asset consumption, subscriptions and value-added services, as well as compound revenue from future cross-application interactions. Wombat’s operational systems, user management mechanisms, and partner network will also enhance MetaArena’s infrastructure in return, equipping us with a mature methodology for integrating more applications.
Therefore, Wombat’s user scale, content resources, and platform capabilities are highly complementary to MetaArena’s tech stack. This acquisition not only delivers direct value at the user and application levels but also lays a strategic foundation for MetaArena’s future ecosystem expansion, signaling an important step as the platform enters a new stage.
With Wombat’s imminent integration, it is expected to become a key piece for MetaArena in completing the user entry and content side, thereby providing the conditions for large-scale ecosystem expansion. Based on this, the platform will launch a multi-million-dollar acquisition plan from Q4 2025 to Q1 2026, systematically absorbing applications with stable users, well-defined scenarios, and mature operational models, and incorporating them into the trusted execution system.
For MetaArena, which already possesses underlying technology and execution architecture, the key to the next stage of ecosystem development lies in whether the ecosystem can be built at scale within a sufficiently short timeframe. The new acquisition plan aims to rapidly bring the ecosystem into an “operational state” in terms of user scale, usage frequency, and revenue structure by introducing already-validated products, avoiding the lengthy process of natural accumulation.
In terms of acquisition targets, we will focus on products with significant user bases, stable retention, and clear monetization methods, including lightweight games, task-reward applications, content products with item and economic systems, and light applications with clear GMV in interactive or consumption scenarios. Such products generally have mature user loop structures and naturally align with the verification model of the trusted execution layer, allowing for rapid integration and sustained contribution.
These mature applications, once integrated, will bring immediate and quantifiable incremental benefits to MetaArena, including higher engagement, clearer business scenarios, more continuous transaction activity, and tangible commercialization paths. At the same time, they will provide the execution layer with a wealth of verifiable behavioral data, enabling faster iteration of underlying capabilities in practice.
As the plan progresses, MetaArena is expected to build an ecosystem entry covering 5 to 10 million users, forming a multi-layered matrix of games, tools, and content applications. Meanwhile, we will gradually assemble a portfolio of applications capable of generating stable cash flow, ensuring sustainable ecosystem operations and enabling cross-application integration of assets, tasks, and incentive mechanisms, making the trusted execution layer the foundational operating system of the entire ecosystem.
From a longer-term perspective, this plan will serve as the main engine driving MetaArena into “ecosystem-level growth.” As more mature model-based products are continuously integrated, the platform will gradually form a growth flywheel driven jointly by content, users, and execution capabilities, laying a solid foundation for the next stage of scale, network effects, and matrix expansion.
