Application of Licensed Technology by ESE: Potential and Forward-Looking Initiatives

ESE's acquisition of Metapro's blockchain gaming technology holds the potential to enhance its gaming offerings and business model. ESE envisions several key applications of this technology:

  1. Development of an Enhanced SDK for Game Developers:
    1. ESE plans to utilize Metapro's Unity SDK and Blockchain Data API to develop an Enhanced Software Development Kit.

Michal Bartczak, CEO of Metapro, commented "Metapro is pleased to collaborate with ESE Entertainment in this exciting venture. Our advanced blockchain gaming technology, which ESE has licensed, represents a significant step forward in the gaming industry. This collaboration is not just about providing technology; it's about fostering innovation and pushing the boundaries of what is possible in gaming. We believe that our tools and platforms have the potential to transform the gaming experience, and we are thrilled to see how ESE will potentially apply them to create new, engaging gaming experiences. Our commitment at Metapro is to continue developing cutting-edge solutions that not only meet but exceed the expectations of our partners and their end-users."

Konrad Wasiela, CEO of ESE, commented "Metapro's existing collaboration with over 100 video game developers presents a strategic opportunity for ESE to cross-sell and integrate its services and technologies. This licensing agreement is a strategic move for ESE in integrating advanced blockchain technologies into our gaming platforms. Crypto and blockchain technology is booming, with the recent approval of asset-class ETFs and the largest institutions like BlackRock investing in it. Out timing is excellent to double down with Metapro. We anticipate that this agreement will contribute to our business growth and diversify our revenue streams."
