<h2>Anvil and Infinity Rising Announce Strategic Partnership to Power the Future of Web3 Gaming</h2>1/29/2026 Anvil and Infinity Rising today announced a strategic partnership aimed at building seamless, player-first Web3 infrastructure for mainstream games. The collaboration will focus on invisible blockchain integration, intuitive onboarding, and scalable systems that support true digital ownership without disrupting gameplayOverview Today, we’re excited to share a partnership that has been years in the making - one that feels less like a deal and more like a natural alignment of how games&nbsp;should be built.When you’re truly passionate about something, you don’t just talk about what’s possible - you go build it.Over the past four years, Anvil has done exactly that. Rather than speculate about what blockchain&nbsp;could do, Anvil focused on learning what it&nbsp;should do - and more importantly, how to make it invisible when it needs to be. That journey led to a deep understanding of where this technology actually shines.One of those places? Video games.“This partnership comes with a mutual understanding of one thing; we want to build products for the future of gaming that are disruptive and centered around the end user. Experience is our number one priority. We can't wait to get started!" -Zack (Cash) CEO of Anvil”Infinity Rising shares that same instinct: players should feel immersion, progression, and ownership - not friction, wallets, or technical overhead. Together, Anvil and Infinity Rising are aligned around a simple belief:If players have to think about the blockchain, we’ve already failed.“Just as many of us don’t understand how the internet works exactly, we know how to use it for the ultimate utility.&nbsp; Same goes for gamers, they don’t have to understand blockchain as long as they easily and seamlessly experience the increased value associated with true ownership of their in game assets” Says Josh Jones, Co-CEO of Infinity Rising.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>Shared Vision</h3>Anvil and Infinity Rising believe the next generation of games will quietly benefit from decentralized infrastructure without forcing players to learn new mental models.Ownership should feel natural. Trading should feel expected. Progression should feel earned.Not bolted on. Not confusing. Not gated behind technical knowledge.This partnership is built on the idea that infrastructure should fade into the background while player experience moves to the foreground. The goal is to create systems that support digital ownership, in-game economies, and player-driven value in ways that feel native to gameplay - not like an external layer stitched on after the fact.<h3>Partnership Focus</h3>Anvil and Infinity Rising intend to collaborate across multiple dimensions of Web3-enabled game infrastructure. Infinity Rising brings a game-first perspective and real-world player ecosystems, while Anvil contributes deep expertise in blockchain systems, wallet architecture, and transaction-layer design.Together, the teams will explore long-term collaboration around:<ul><li>Seamless onboarding experiences for mainstream gamers</li><li>Intuitive in-game transaction and signing flows</li><li>Asset ownership and movement between game environments</li><li>Reusable, scalable infrastructure that can support multiple titles</li></ul>Infinity Rising will act as an early launch partner and design collaborator, ensuring that everything built is grounded in real gameplay needs - not theoretical use cases.“Partnering with Anvil helps us accelerate key web technology and blockchain integration work. Their proven track record in delivering quality products gives us confidence in this collaboration, freeing up our team's resources to focus more on core game development” says Rob Greig, Co-CEO of Infinity Rising.&nbsp;<h3>Looking Ahead</h3>This partnership is designed to be collaborative, product-driven, and long-term in nature. As the relationship evolves, Anvil and Infinity Rising anticipate exploring deeper alignment around shared technology, intellectual property, and distribution of future tooling across additional games and ecosystems.For now, the focus is simple: build the right foundations, the right way, with the player experience leading every decision.“As an avid gamer, blockchain integration makes so much sense. The problem is that people, especially gamers, have written off blockchain without understanding the value. Together, we can create something truly unique, that showcases blockchains' strong suites without being overbearing on users." -Zack (Cash) CEO of AnvilBecause the future of gaming won’t be defined by louder technology - it’ll be defined by technology that finally knows when to stay quiet.BoilersAbout Anvil:&nbsp;Anvil is a web3 infrastructure company focused on making blockchain useful without making it visible. Rather than chasing hype, Anvil builds production-read systems that power real applications - from digital asset minting and transaction infrastructure to wallet experiences and scalable backend tooling.&nbsp;With years of hands-on experience solving real implementation challenges, Anvil specializes in turning complex blockchain mechanics into seamless user experiences. Anvil partners with product teams who care more about what users feel than what technology stack sits underneath.Anvil’s mission is simple: build the rails that let innovation move - and make sure no one has to think about the rails while they ride.&nbsp;About Infinity Rising:&nbsp; Infinity Rising is an open‑world, multi-verse simulation between a floating civilization in the sky — and Earth below. Players traverse both worlds to explore, gather, craft, build bases and land plots, trade in a player‑driven economy, and respond to rift‑related events and Terra through PvE. Survival and upkeep systems influence pace and markets, while casual and social play—farming, gardening, base building, and co‑ops—stands alongside combat as a first‑class path to progress. With a vibrant 1960s retro‑futurist art direction and a “play your pace” philosophy, Infinity Rising turns individual action into shared momentum.

2025: Year in Review - Epic Ascent

Welcome to Infinity Rising

Land plots are the production backbone of Cornucopias. They unlock high‑tier crafting (tiers 4–5), enable scaled resource operations (factory scale), support rental income, and tap into seasonal reward pools. Apartments serve the masses and tap into the creative side with the highly detailed building system;&nbsp;land is built for producers, guilds, and traders who want to shape local economies and capture yield. For the casual player, land also suits a slower pace of play with gardening and farming, or simply raising your livestock.<ul><li>Own late‑game crafting. Crafting tiers 4–5 require land; apartments cap at tiers 1–3.</li><li>Run real production. Build workshops, farms, shops, and utilities; use&nbsp;raw ore or material through Blueprints to craft, upgrade, and sell.</li><li>Capture seasonal rewards. End‑of‑season land level determines your claim from a fixed rewards pool.</li><li>Specialize your operation. Hotelier, Farming, Metal/Woodworking, Masonry, Cooking, Mechanics, Electronics, Science, Agriculture/Botany, Artisan/Textiles, and more.</li><li>Scarce by design. Limited plots per town and per zone create natural scarcity and resale value. Land plots are 100% unique to you. Access to your plot can be private (only you) or publicly available to those you allow to have access.</li></ul>Positioning note: Apartments are free for all players unless choosing to upgrade to larger, premium units. Plots are intentionally scarce and aimed at ~1–2% who want to run at economic scale.<h2>Role of Land in the Game</h2><ul><li>Economic engine: Convert&nbsp;raw ore or material into refined goods and move product at scale; land anchors town and district economies.</li><li>Seasonal progression: 13‑week seasons. Land levels reset each season; your final level sets your reward percentage.</li><li>Community impact: Coordinated land activity upgrades districts and improves shared infrastructure and safety zones.</li><li>Field base &amp; storage: Use your plot for storing gear, ore, materials, etc., so you don’t need to trek back to an apartment mid‑loop.</li><li>Rest &amp; recovery: Design intent is for land buildings to provide&nbsp;sleep/rest functions to&nbsp;restore avatar health and serve as a&nbsp;restart/respawn location.</li><li>Persistent infrastructure: Land is treated as&nbsp;key infrastructure intended to be&nbsp;persistent across sessions/servers, with owner‑placed objects bound to the deed.</li></ul><h2>What Players Can Do on Land</h2><ul><li>Build &amp; upgrade: Build with pre-fab meshes to construct houses, workshops, farms, merchant spaces, and utility buildings. Some objects need upkeep; some can be dismantled to reclaim materials;&nbsp;all transfer with the deed on sale.</li><li>Source &amp; process: Gather&nbsp;raw ore or material yourself or buy locally, then craft and sell outputs to players or NPC merchants.</li><li>Specialize operations: Lean into a role (e.g., Hotelier or Farming) to differentiate margins and attract tenants/customers.</li><li>Host tenants: Set access permissions, rent rooms by day/week/season, and increase foot traffic and XP on your plot.</li></ul><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:6662/3748;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/3QOiL1rMRM21Ke1OjTNy" width="6662" height="3748"></figure><h2>Crafting Opportunities on Land (WIP)</h2>Scope: Examples below reflect in‑progress design.

Why Own Land? 

<h1>How It Works</h1><h2>What you need before you start</h2><ul><li>Hold your Land Claim NFTs in your connected wallets. That’s the only way to participate.&nbsp;</li><li>Verify your inventory. In your player account (logged in), go to&nbsp;Your Assets and filter by&nbsp;“Land Claim…” to double-check you’ve got the claims you intend to use.</li><li>Use Favorites on the map.

Solace Land Grab - Everything You Need to Know

<h1>Cornucopias February Update: A Month of Breakthroughs and Innovations</h1><h2>Introduction</h2>February has been one of the most exciting months we’ve ever experienced at Cornucopias. With deliverables coming to fruition and groundbreaking developments on the horizon, our momentum heading into 2025 is already snowballing into something massive.<h2>Major Developments</h2><h3>SuperVerse Partnership</h3>In November, we established a partnership with SuperVerse—a collaboration we have been extremely eager to unveil. The SuperVerse ecosystem sets the highest standard in Web3 gaming, boasting longstanding partnerships with Off the Grid, Metacade, Wilder World, Nyan Heroes, and more. With an outstanding reputation for collaborating with the best gaming projects in blockchain, we are thrilled to join the ranks of the elite.This collaboration will enable us to integrate real-world brands into the Cornucopias universe in innovative ways. Expect features like customizable in-game structures, high-quality in-game advertisements, and special branded game assets purchasable with $SUPER.<h3>Weapons Development</h3>In February, we began dropping teasers about our evolving weapons system. Although we’ve only revealed a fraction of what we’re working on, our community is buzzing with anticipation for what’s to come. Soon, we will share more details about various weapon types, models, functionalities, and the intricacies of our comprehensive combat system.In the next build, we plan to introduce a fully functional shooting range where players can test different weapons and determine which ones suit their playstyles best. This feature will include a leaderboard, adding an early layer of competition to this exciting new gameplay mechanic. We’re confident that gamers will be eager to explore this feature in the new Calido Pavillion area, known as the Glimpse of Esperanza. &nbsp;<figure class="media"><oembed url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cfTQS8Lij8"></oembed></figure><h2>Art in the Multiverse</h2><h3>Glimpse of Esperanza</h3>Our community has been eagerly awaiting the release of our next major in-game biome dome, Esperanza. This ambitious project will increase our total in-game area by nearly 50%, adding 150 square kilometers of fresh gameplay space. Before the full release, we plan to offer a preview—similar to what we did for Solace—so that our community can experience a taste of what’s to come.<h3>Esperanza 1, 2 &amp; 3</h3>Esperanza 1 is nearly complete, and we continue to make significant progress with Esperanza 2 and 3. We are currently positioning the town centers and laying down land plots, and we expect our community to be thoroughly impressed when they explore the new layout.Esperanza represents a major advancement in our approach to landscape and vegetation diversity. The Esperanza art kit is twice the size of the Solace art kit, offering twice as many creative assets to bring the biome to life. This upgrade will further enhance our biome development process, delivering a uniquely engaging experience in our game’s desert environment. &nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:2046/373;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/eeyOFQ1fSe6NTWk1kxnX" width="2046" height="373"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:2894/806;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/f63sfDjNSViFBZsljyYs" width="2894" height="806"></figure><h2>Upcoming Developments</h2><h3>Avatar 3.0</h3>The upcoming upgrades to our avatars are the most significant since the launch of our avatar creator. We are not only introducing new, dynamic movement animations but also implementing substantial visual enhancements that will be immediately noticeable. For example, we have integrated masculine and feminine skeletal structures to create a more natural baseline for avatar posture.

Cornucopias Hot Topics - Issue # 9

<h1>February 2025 Update: A Groundbreaking Start to the Year</h1>January was a pivotal month for Cornucopias, with fundamental infrastructure materializing and groundbreaking advancements taking shape. As we step into 2025, we are pushing the boundaries of cutting-edge gaming technology, strengthening our market advantage, and laying the foundation for an immersive gaming experience.<h2>Major Developments</h2><h4>Unreal Engine 5.5.1 Upgrade</h4>Cornucopias continues to uphold its reputation as a future-proof game by consistently upgrading the tools used to build this expansive digital world. In mid-January, we successfully upgraded to Unreal Engine 5.5.1, marking a multi-phase enhancement already in progress.The first phase, completed ahead of schedule, involved upgrading all team members and game files to the latest software version, followed by a thorough debugging process. The next phase focuses on experimenting with these state-of-the-art tools—capabilities that very few major game developers have access to.These enhancements bring increased gameplay efficiency, advanced features that foster immersion, and a higher level of quality. Our first implementation of these tools was with the new avatar animation system, significantly transforming the experience of exploring Cornucopias.<h4>Motion Matching</h4>In case you missed it, we showcased an early version of our new motion-matching avatar movement, featuring a "Terra" character navigating her environment with parkour-style maneuvers. This technology will revolutionize movement mechanics, making exploration more dynamic and visually engaging. Enhancing both gameplay and the visual appeal of our marketing content, motion matching is a top priority for 2025. &nbsp;<figure class="media"><oembed url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dj4ntRKdehc"></oembed></figure><h4>Avatar Creator 3.0</h4>Beyond movement, we are also refining the visual appeal of our avatars. The upcoming Avatar Creator 3.0 aims to deliver an even more immersive and customizable character creation experience.&nbsp;<h3>Art in the Multiverse</h3><h4>Esperanza</h4>For the past few months, we have been focused on expanding Cornucopias, beginning with the development of Esperanza. Leveraging insights from Solace, we have refined our workflow to accelerate landscape development efficiently. This streamlined process allows us to expand the game world at an unprecedented pace, with each new zone adding 150 sq km of playable real estate before our public launch.At launch, players will have access to three zones—plus Calido—providing a total of 513 sq km of diverse landscapes to explore. Esperanza, a desert biome inspired by real-world locations such as Arizona, Nevada, and Mexico, brings a unique environmental experience to the game. To enhance immersion, we are also developing animal art to complement the environment.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/1080;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/1lUzpDzSaqtKFD9ds2ZJ" width="1920" height="1080"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/1080;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/2AqRMLb1SxWnIo1DtMTV" width="1920" height="1080"></figure><h4>Structures</h4>We can't forget about the incredible work being executed for land plot structures. Our team is hard at work preparing everything needed for the land progression system and we couldn't be more excited about this feature.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:2900/1330;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/yejq3YmxQk6gpdYXtDEb" width="2900" height="1330"></figure><h3>Upcoming Developments</h3><h4>Character &amp; Creature Enhancements</h4>Our community has already seen early models of the Brown Bear, White Deer, and Fox that will inhabit Solace. Over the next 90-day sprint, our team will finalize these animal models, alongside new additions such as Coyotes and Mountain Lions. These creatures will be powered by an early version of our custom NPC Animation Engine, bringing them—and future human NPCs—to life.This advancement will create a richer and more interactive game world, filled with both active players and intelligent NPCs.&nbsp;&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/1080;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/HAKk1LC7TmqtZY1Fto3n" width="1920" height="1080"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/1080;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/Bd9U0sTORB6m2ieDjtBr" width="1920" height="1080"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/1080;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/MrLJYkQY2hEkmzDkRg9g" width="1920" height="1080"></figure>&nbsp;<h3>Marketing Initiatives</h3><h4>Cinematics Department</h4>Marketing has been a key focus, and in January, we realigned our strategy to move forward with maximum impact in 2025.A brand-new cinematics department has been established to create high-quality content that showcases the game in a visually stunning way. This team comprises individuals with deep knowledge of Cornucopias' development and extensive experience in commercial video production. We have already begun producing content, including product commercials, lore reveals, and game trailers, which will serve as powerful assets for external marketing campaigns. &nbsp;<figure class="media"><oembed url="https://youtube.com/embed/hDBdnbIvDXg"></oembed></figure><h4>KOL Expansion</h4>We have forged relationships with major influencers who are eager to partner with us. Our efforts have been dedicated to selecting creators aligned with our vision and passionate about our product. The KOL team is expanding steadily, with several influencers poised to release Cornucopias content ahead of our next major announcement [REDACTED].<h4>Partnership Development</h4>Cornucopias offers unique creative capabilities that add value to strategic partnerships. Our community has already witnessed examples of this through collaborations such as Neo Tokyo. Moving forward, we will unveil additional partnership initiatives with projects like Metacade, [REDACTED], and various traditional brands, further solidifying our presence in the gaming and Web3 space.

<h2>2024 Recap</h2>As we step into 2025, we’re reflecting on our accomplishments in 2024 to prepare ourselves for even greater success in the new year, building upon the strong foundations we’ve established. In 2024, we published 40 episodes of Copi Cafe with our Co-CEOs, Rob and Josh, delivering transparency and regular development updates to our dedicated community. We officially entered the DePIN category with the launch of our File Node Network, which will soon enable our community to distribute game files globally. Additionally, we released the largest game updates in the history of Cornucopias, including the Solace Zone and other new playable areas in Calido, making Cornucopias the largest playable in-game universe in the blockchain industry. We also introduced foundational gameplay elements such as one of the most advanced avatar creators in the industry, a robust spatial inventory system, a fully functional jetpack item category, a streamlined navigation system, and an in-game trading system based on in-game currency. And for the land plot holders, we ended the year with a massive plot research tool that allows players to navigate detailed maps of Solace 1, 2, and 3 with the option to favorite plots that they plan to grab when we launch our highly anticipated Land Grab in 2025.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/946;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/3VWqctIaQWGu1B5aEK5C" width="1920" height="946"></figure><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1920/949;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/YnRJwM1T2SymL5FomiCA" width="1920" height="949"></figure>&nbsp;<h2>2025 Roadmap Update</h2>Our 2024 achievements have positioned us for Cornucopias’ biggest year yet!

Nexus terminals have been strategically placed in every Solace town and at the center of Calido Valley Square, ensuring your assets are readily accessible in all central hotspots.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:1980/1114;" src="https://cdn.filestackcontent.com/dp1qaxmbSR2PQ5dSCji0" width="1980" height="1114"></figure><h2>Quality Assurance Enhancements</h2>Our Quality Assurance team has been exceptionally busy testing everything in the new build—the biggest we've ever released—including our new marketplace interface, node infrastructure, and server developments.
