As a result, it was able to increase assets and progression utility for gamers. No wonder it managed to attract a whopping 3.5 million registered players in such a short time. The fantastic Walken community is part of the driving force behind the new and improved gaming ecosystem called The Cuze.
The Cuze – What is it all about?
In the simplest terms, The Cuze is in the next phase Walken’s evolution. It’s more of a Walken-focused ecosystem of casual games powered by Web3. It is set to unite different hybrid-casual games with their specific soft currency through shared NFT and progression utility across the ecosystem. There is also a central ecosystem token called $WLKN, and it will also serve as a governance token.
One of the main reasons for expanding the gaming ecosystem to The Cuze is to improve opportunities for players and incentives for creators. For starters, players will have many adventures, even though their earning potential has been significantly improved. It is now impossible to get bored due to repetitive gameplay. Generating more income also means players earn more from their gaming skills while having more fun.
Walken’s evolution also means that game makers now have better incentives. This can of course help to move creators from Web2 to Web3. The Cuze is more of an advanced gaming infrastructure for developers. It offers everything from Web3 interaction to in-game balance and tokenomics. Best of all, it offers best practices, guidance and support at all levels.
From Walken to Cuze – A sustainable approach to gaming evolution

Players now have a wide and diverse selection of puzzle games and more across the entire ecosystem. It gets better because progression, reuse and accumulation of gaming/ecosystem assets is now possible. Players will now easily maximize the benefits of the time spent playing a game. Of course, the ecosystem assets are useful and valuable within the ecosystem and beyond.
It is important to note that the utility of ecosystem assets in The Cuze will come in large part from the treasury generated by players’ real-life activities. For example, ad views are part of the revenue and are distributed as rewards to real players.
