Ledger, the global leader in security for critical digital assets and Web3, has launched its first metaverse initiative on The Sandbox, co-created with metaverse creative agency Swipe Back, to support, protect and educate users regarding all aspects of digital ownership and cryptocurrency.

The initiative is a timely one; an estimated $14 billion was lost to scams in the crypto space in 2021.

Ledger’s first virtual space, the Ledgerverse, is an immersive map built by Swipe Back and features the “School of Block” (the first of several Sandbox maps), which educates users to ensure they’re ‘metaverse-ready’. This includes how to identify scammer threats and phishing traps that they might encounter online through a storyline that’s complete with characters, virtual missions, and secrets to uncover.

The space is curated to reflect The Sandbox’s methods by blending the “School of Block” with gamification. Users will be able to play games with unique rewards while learning about protection in the metaverse, making the games not only enjoyable, but truly useful.

The partnership also includes co-branded Ledger hardware that enables users to have the ultimate protection of their own digital collectibles, so that the experience itself is safeguarded.

Max Vedel, co-founder at Swipe Back, says: “The big challenge for brands entering the metaverse is telling their stories in meaningful ways that can’t be done in real life. We’re really excited to team up with Ledger to build surreal adventures that educate users on the growing threat of crypto scams, and to create storylines they’ll remember.

“The Sandbox is famous for its ability to curate gaming experiences and opportunities to monetise and win from them. It was an ideal canvas to help Ledger build this attractive virtual destination that offers an escape from the day-to-day, as well as highlighting the brand’s benefits and insights.”

Mo El-Sayed, Head of Education and Community at Ledger, adds: “Education today is outdated, boring, and overly complex. We are thrilled to bring truly Web3 educational tools to our Ledgerverse with game architects like Swipe Back and a truly immersive platform such as The Sandbox.

“Ledger is your universal key to keeping digital assets safe in the metaverse. Now you can learn about your metaverse and explore your digital identity through our immersive games.”

Ariel Wengroff, Global VP Communications at Ledger, concludes: “Ledger will not compromise on using Web3 innovation to educate the masses. Our partnership with The Sandbox and Swipe Back is the beginning of a long commitment to building a more inclusive future for users.”

BetOnline.ag, a preeminent global online sportsbook, casino and poker platform, announced a strategic partnership with Sweet to integrate $SCOR as a newly supported cryptocurrency.

$SCOR, the native token powering verified fan identity and rewards across major professional sports, is now available for deposits and withdrawals within the BetOnline cashier, just in time for Super Bowl Sunday on February 8.

This integration establishes a direct utility lane for the $SCOR, allowing fans to use tokens — earned through engagement in officially licensed sports games or purchased on exchanges — for real-world gameplay on a leading gaming platform.

For BetOnline, the partnership represents a strategic entry point into the burgeoning world of on-chain sports fandom, connecting the platform with high-value, verified fan liquidity.

“We are constantly evolving to meet our players where they are, and that now includes the intersection of sports fandom, gaming and blockchain. $SCOR isn’t just another cryptocurrency…it’s the premier token of the sports industry. This partnership allows us to directly engage with a new generation of sports fans who value real-world gameplay, verifiable achievements and interoperable rewards,” said Eddie Robbins III, CEO of BetOnline.ag.

$SCOR functions as the on-chain layer for fan identity, verifiable engagement and portable rewards across Sweet’s network of major professional sports IP partners that boast officially licensed sports-themed web3 PvP and mini games.

By accepting $SCOR, BetOnline gains a direct connection to verified fan activity from SCOR’s ecosystem of major professional sports IP partners, introducing a high-value audience of competitive sports fans and crypto-savvy players.

To celebrate the launch, BetOnline will offer exclusive deposit perks for $SCOR users, including free-play credits and casino spins for qualifying deposits. Future community activations are planned, featuring token-gated private poker and casino tournaments for verified $SCOR holders, with prizes awarded in both $SCOR and cash.

“We built $SCOR to bridge the passion of sports fandom with tangible utility and value. BetOnline’s integration is a landmark moment, turning fan-earned $SCOR into a key for premium gaming experiences. This partnership validates our vision of a reward-first portable fan identity,” Sweet EVP of Global Partnerships Betsy Proctor said.

Initial performance metrics from providers utilizing GR8 Tech’s Crypto Turnkey solution indicate notable enhancements in player conversion and operational efficiency within months of transitioning to cryptocurrency payments.
Operators utilizing Crypto Turnkey are indicating:
1.6 times greater conversion for initial and subsequent deposits
● Cost per transaction can be as much as 3 times lower than conventional payment methods.
Withdrawal processing up to 2.5 times quicker
“The conversion improvements and cost reductions we see would take much longer to achieve through payment optimization alone,” said Denys Parkhomenko, GR8 Tech CPO. “Crypto Turnkey unlocks access to the fastest-growing and highly valuable player demographic in iGaming. When over half of your target audience is already using crypto for investments, offering it as a payment method is a must—numbers prove it.”
The findings confirm the business rationale presented at Crypto Turnkey’s inception: cryptocurrency eliminates reliance on payment providers and draws higher-value participants who deposit larger amounts and wager more often. With settlement finishing within minutes rather than days, operators are experiencing enhanced margins and clearly superior player satisfaction.
Crypto Turnkey is now accessible worldwide and can be implemented as a new option or transitioned from Hyper Turnkey.
