The digital world of collectibles is witnessing a revolutionary shift with the arrival of “Solo Leveling: Unlimited”, a new NFT platform derived from the immensely popular South Korean web novel and webtoon Solo Leveling.
Developed by Singapore-based Web3 specialist OtherWorld, this platform will make its debut on the Avalanche blockchain and mark a significant advancement in the integration of entertainment and blockchain technology.
“Solo Leveling: Unlimited” is not just another digital collectibles platform. It sets itself apart by utilizing a custom Layer-1 network built specifically on Avalanche, enabling gasless transactions – a feature that not only improves the user experience, but also democratizes access to NFTs by eliminating the often prohibitive fees that associated with blockchain interactions.
Solo leveling only goes up.
Already a popular webtoon, anime and game, the beloved IP now comes to Web3 as Solo Leveling: Unlimited.
SL:U will be a new platform for collectibles and experiences, built on @own_protocol and powered by Avalanche.

This strategic move aims to leverage the avid fan base of the Solo Leveling series, which has amassed more than 14 billion views worldwide across formats including web novels, webtoons, anime and mobile games.
Engagement and expansion
The platform goes beyond traditional NFT offerings by integrating users directly into the Solo Leveling universe. Players can actively engage with the storyline, fighting monsters and collecting cards to advance their characters, mirroring the progression of the story.
This immersive experience is complemented by rewards such as NFTs featuring profile photos featuring the series’ protagonist, further blurring the lines between gaming and collectible ecosystems.
Beyond entertainment, “Solo Leveling: Unlimited” acts as a launching pad for future Web3 ventures, promising to introduce more webtoon IPs and even K-pop elements into the blockchain space. This initiative is supported by OtherWorld’s existing rights to 26 popular webtoon IPs and a partnership with major agency Cube Entertainment, paving the way for a broader cultural infusion into the crypto space.
