NEWS -- Tokens.com to Acquire AI and Robotics Business
TORONTO, April 04, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tokens.com Corp.

Simulacra owns and operates three subsidiaries focused on the integration of artificial intelligence ("AI") and high quality, humanoid robots that improve the human experience through connection, learning and play. It is expected that the transaction will close on or about April 16, 2024. All amounts herein are expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated.

"As we explore this new frontier, we are eager to share these opportunities in the public markets. This transaction with Tokens.com will greatly accelerate our strategic growth and market penetration."
"While other tech companies are building robots to replace human workers in warehouses, Simulacra’s robotics serve the more immediate use case for AI and robotics: human connection, learning and play," said Mr. Kiguel. "While most AI tools available today are filtered for content and viewpoints, Simulacra’s AI technology enables humans and robots to foster genuine connection through unfiltered, human-like conversation.

Our goal is to continue to tap into growth via unconventional opportunities that would be overlooked by other technology companies," said Kiguel.

All dollar figures are in United States dollars ("USD"), unless otherwise stated.
Q1-2024 Financial and Operating Highlights
The Company achieved revenue of $219k for Q1-2024, compared to $152k for the three months ended December 31, 2022 ("Q1-2023").Total cash and cryptocurrency holdings of $11.3 million, or CAD$15.0 million as of December 31, 2023.Staking revenue was $165k for Q1-2024, compared to $40k for Q1-2023, mostly due to increase in crypto prices during the quarter and the Company starting to receive transaction fees for its Ethereum staking.Services revenue of $54k for Q1-2024, compared to $108k for Q1-2023, due to lower revenue from Metaverse Group and Hulk Labs.Operating expenses were $856k the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to $718k for the three months ended December 31, 2022.A non-cash gain on revaluation of digital assets of $2.6 million for Q1-2024, compared to a loss of $1.3 million for Q1-2023. Gain on disposal of digital assets was $94k for the three months ended December 31, 2023, compared to a loss of $102k during the three months ended December 31, 2022.Net income and comprehensive income for Q1-2024, attributable to the owners of Tokens.com, of $2.1 million, compared to net loss and comprehensive loss of $1.6 million, attributable to the owners of Tokens.com, for Q1-2023.Earnings per share of $0.02 for Q1-2024, compared to loss per share of $0.02, for Q1-2023.On November 8, 2023, the Company announced that it had commenced a strategic review, which includes potential acquisitions, sales of its domain names and its operating businesses and digital assets.On January 29, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell the assets of Metaverse Group and Hulk Labs to StoryFire Inc.

Tokens.com retains the upside through our equity ownership in StoryFire and no longer has to carry the overhead associated with these operations. Management and the board are continuing to explore additional potential transactions to enhance shareholder value," added Kiguel.

NEWS -- Tokens.com Reports Financial Results for Fiscal Year 2023
TORONTO, January 31, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tokens.com Corp. (Cboe Canada: COIN)(Frankfurt Stock Exchange: 76M) (OTCQB US: SMURF) ("Tokens.com" or the "Company"), a web3 technology company that owns an inventory of cryptocurrencies, reports its financial results for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023 ("FY2023"). All dollar figures are in United States dollars ("USD"), unless otherwise stated.
Strategic Review Update:
On November 8th, 2023, the Company announced that it had commenced a strategic review. The Company is also exploring acquisitions, sales of its domain names and the sale of its operating businesses and digital assets. As part of this strategic process to enhance shareholder value, on January 29, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell the assets of Metaverse Group and Hulk Labs to StoryFire Inc. ("StoryFire"), which is primarily a transfer of its workforce and contractors. All capital within Metaverse Group will remain at Tokens.com.
Tokens.com will receive a consideration of $4 million for the sale that consists of a 15.3% ownership of StoryFire and $500,000 of its native Blaze cryptocurrency token. The transaction is expected to close on March 1, 2024.
Metaverse Group and Hulk Labs revenue was not forecasted to exceed operating costs and reach profitability for several years. In addition, the funding required by these businesses would require Tokens.com to carry significant cash flow losses. To finance these operations, the Company would need to sell some or all of its cryptocurrency inventory or look to raise dilutive new equity capital. After careful review of all alternatives, management and the board made the decision to de-risk Tokens.com by selling the assets of Metaverse Group and Hulk Labs to a buyer that has a strategic fit and capital to bring the businesses to profitability faster. Tokens.com retains the upside in the combined businesses through our 15.3% equity participation. Tokens.com also is in a position to retain its cryptocurrencies without the requirement to fund the other businesses. Management believes the sale of the businesses results in a win-win scenario and has eliminated an estimated $1.5M of overhead annually. Removing the overhead associated with these assets gives the company additional flexibility in pursuing another acquisition or as an acquisition target as a leaner structure.
Subsequent to the closing of the StoryFire transaction on March 1st, 2024, Tokens.com’s key assets will be its cryptocurrency inventory, cash, a 15.3% ownership in StoryFire, as well as a portfolio of domain names. Operating overhead will be significantly lower, making operations more efficient.
2023 Highlights:
Year-end September 2023 cash balance of $3.5 million or CAD$4.7 million;Digital assets / cryptocurrency and NFTs balance of $6.0 million or CAD$8.0 million;Total year-end digital assets and cash of $9.5 million, or CAD$12.7 million; andCryptocurrency holding as of September 30, 2023 and January 30, 2024:
Total revenue for FY2023 of $740k, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 ("FY2022") of $678k:Staking revenue for FY2023 of $268k, compared to $552k for FY2022, primarily due to lower yield overall and liquidation of previously staked tokens such as ROSE and ANKR.Metaverse consulting and lease revenue of $468k, compared to $121k for FY2022, primarily due to revenue recognition upon completion of projects signed in prior year.Operating expenses for FY2023 of $4.0 million, compared to FY2022 of $2.7 million. The increase was primarily due to:Increased professional fees paid to contractors during the majority of the fiscal year for expansion of the Metaverse Group and Hulk Labs teams, of $1.6 million for FY2023 compared to $807k for FY2022. This is partially offset by lower audit and legal fees incurred by the Company throughout the year.General and administrative fees increased to $1.0 million during FY2023, compared to $355k during FY2022.Investor relations and marketing fees reduced to $358k during FY2023 compared to $743k from FY2022, due to a pause of many non-essential capital market services throughout the year.Digital assets activities include:Loss on disposition of digital assets of $172k, compared to FY2022 loss of $1.7 million.Gain on revaluation of digital assets - cryptocurrency of $483k, compared to FY2022 loss of $17.6 million, of which, $3.5 million, net of tax of $1.1 million, is recorded to other comprehensive income.Loss on impairment of NFTs of $2.6 million, compared to FY2022 loss of $3.8 million.Reclassification of certain cryptocurrencies being held by Genesis Global Capital LLC ("Genesis") to a separate line item on the Statement of Financial Position. These cryptocurrencies were then written down to a fair value of $125k, which is the exact amount owed to Genesis by the Company, resulting in an impairment loss of $828k (September 30, 2022 - $nil).Operating loss of $5.5 million, compared to FY2022 loss of $19 million, primarily due to improvement of cryptocurrency prices compared to a significant price depreciation during FY2022.The Company also reviewed and performed impairment testing on certain intangible assets and investments at year end, and has determined the following:Impairment of goodwill related to the Metaverse Group acquisition of $1.1 million (September 30, 2022 - $nil), as the Company expected Metaverse Group to incur negative operating cash flows over the next few years.Impairment of intellectual property acquired from CocoNFT of $548k (September 30, 2022 - $nil) due to uncertainty of future cash flow generation via operation or a sale.Impairment of domain names of $1.6 million (September 30, 2022 - $nil) due to uncertainty of future cash flow generation.Net loss and comprehensive loss of $9.7 million, attributable to owners of Tokens.com, compared to FY2022 net loss of $3.8 million and comprehensive loss of $7.3 million.Net loss per share, attributable to owners of Tokens.com, of $0.09 per share, compared to loss of $0.04 during FY2022.

NEWS -- Tokens.com Announces Sale of Metaverse Group and Hulk Labs to StoryFire
TORONTO, January 30, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tokens.com Corp. (Cboe Canada: COIN)(Frankfurt Stock Exchange: 76M) (OTCQB US: SMURF) ("Tokens.com" or the "Company"), a web3 technology company that owns an inventory of cryptocurrencies, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell the assets of Metaverse Group and Hulk Labs to StoryFire, Inc. ("StoryFire"). The transaction is scheduled to close on March 1st, 2024.
Consideration to Tokens.com for the disposition consists of a 15.3% equity interest in StoryFire, valued at US$3.5 million, plus US$500,000 in Blaze tokens, the in-app currency native to StoryFire. In addition, Tokens.com will be granted a board seat on the StoryFire board. Following the completion of the transaction, Tokens.com will no longer have an active business in metaverse or web3 gaming, except through its ownership in StoryFire.
StoryFire is a private online social entertainment and gaming platform that empowers users to create and engage with immersive narratives. With a rapidly growing user base of 2.5 million, StoryFire offers a vibrant and creative community for storytellers and enthusiasts. StoryFire users create social posts akin to Twitter, gain a following and earn an in-app currency known as Blaze. StoryFire is a privately owned entity.
"This transaction provides Tokens.com shareholders with several benefits, including the continued buildout of Metaverse Group by a strategic acquirer. StoryFire is a successful social media brand with over 2 million users and the capital to expand the growth of these businesses," said Andrew Kiguel, CEO of Tokens.com. "Tokens.com retains a significant amount of upside through its equity ownership in StoryFire, while no longer having to cover the overhead required to manage these businesses. Management expects this and other cost cutting measures associated with the transaction to result in savings to Tokens.com of approximately CAD$1.5M annually. The resulting Tokens.com business will own 15.3% of StoryFire, approximately CAD$3.7M in cash, approximately CAD$15.0M in cryptocurrency tokens, as well as a valuable portfolio of domain names that are currently for sale." added Kiguel.
The strategic vision for combining these assets is to leverage Metaverse Group’s capabilities to build content for use by StoryFire's 2.5M users, and expand on the metaverse experiences that Metaverse Group hosts, such as the Metaverse Fashion Week. By virtue of having a larger captive audience and distribution network that is growing by over 100% year over year, Metaverse Group’s 3D design and build capabilities will be able to attract a broader base of clients, and create immersive experiences for StoryFire creators and enterprises. Helix, the underlying metaverse virtual commerce platform provides a powerful engine for StoryFire creators to sell goods and services in the metaverse.
In addition, developers from Hulk Labs and certain IP, including Astraeus Defence, will continue to be developed and shared with StoryFire’s audience. This allows for immediate uptake of the games once developed. The gaming audience of StoryFire creators, as well as streamers, provide a significant pipeline to onboard games, and valuable data for the Yeti.gg platform.
"We are excited to integrate Metaverse Group and Hulk Labs into the StoryFire strategy. We welcome Tokens.com as a key shareholder and contributor to building our business. By leveraging the content creation capabilities, we expect to be able to quickly grow our user base", said Sam Hilder, CEO of StoryFire.
The transaction with StoryFire has been approved by the board of directors and the independent committee of Tokens.com, as well as the board of StoryFire.
In addition, Tokens.com has retained a third party broker to explore the sale of the Tokens.com domain name, initially being listed with an ask of US$8M. Interested parties should contact Tokens.com management at contact@tokens.com.

NEWS -- Tokens.com Announces Launch of Ecommerce App on Google Play and Apple iOS Stores
TORONTO, December 19, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tokens.com Corp. (NEO Exchange Canada: COIN) (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: 76M) (OTCQB US: SMURF) ("Tokens.com" or the "Company"), a publicly-traded company that builds web3 businesses and owns an inventory of digital assets, is pleased to announce the launch of Valor, a proprietary ecommerce platform within Metaverse Group that allows product placement and advertising within virtual gaming worlds including Roblox and Fortnite.
Metaverse Group has spent the last year developing Helix Worlds, the technology that powers the Valor app. Valor is designed as a loyalty program that gives its clients the ability to place branded product placement in games like Roblox and Fortnite. Players in these environments use the app by scanning branded items and are redirected to the brands page to claim offers and earn points that are redeemable for rewards.
Valor is available for download on the Google Play Store, and iOS App Store.
"The Valor app was developed to solve a key problem for brands who were looking to advertise in popular gaming platforms like Roblox and Fortnite where links and QR codes are not allowed," said Andrew Kiguel, CEO of Tokens.com. "Valor provides a solution by giving brands the ability to offer a shopping experience to players, without taking them out of the game flow and disrupting the environment with links and QR codes."
Imagine a gamer walking through a virtual city and encountering your brand’s latest sneaker collection or wearable tech gadget right within the metaverse. With just 2-3 taps on their mobile device or Helix Worlds compatible apps and or via VR Goggles, players can interact with the product, purchase it in the physical world, and earn exclusive in-game rewards.
The consumer ecommerce experience has not changed substantially in the last 20 years. However, with the advent and popularity of new 3D platforms such as Roblox and Fortnite, brands are seeking innovative ways to evolve their ecommerce solutions. Through Helix Worlds, brands have the unprecedented opportunity to place their products into games and 3D environments without breaking the immersive experience and breaking platform guidelines. Valor using Helix Worlds technology was innovated for brands to market their products to a new audience and for consumers to enjoy an improved shopping experience. Helix Worlds can be implemented into any app and will be available across multiple platforms, and popular games.
Brands and businesses interested in learning more about Valor can contact mailto://info@metaversegroup.com. For a demo of how Valor works click here or visit https://getvalor.gg.

NEWS -- Tokens.com Announces Filing Timeline for 2023 Annual Financial Statements
TORONTO, December 15, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tokens.com Corp. (CBOE Exchange Canada: COIN) (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: 76M) (OTCQB US: SMURF) ("Tokens.com" or the "Company"), a technology company that builds immersive experiences in 3D internet environments and owns an inventory of cryptocurrencies, today announced that it expects to complete and file its 2023 Annual Filings (as defined below) on or before January 31, 2024. Because the 2023 Annual Filings will be filed following the requisite filing date of December 29, 2023, the Company has applied to the Ontario Securities Commission (the "OSC") for a management cease trade order that will prohibit the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company from trading in the securities of the Company until such time as the 2023 Annual Filings have been filed. The OSC has yet to make a decision on the aforementioned application.
The default is due primarily to delays on account of the Company’s recent change in auditor (which change was made effective as of August 23, 2023). The change in auditor has resulted in additional procedures and enhanced quality controls which has necessitated a request by the auditor for more time to complete the audit. The proposed filing timeline will provide the Company's recently appointed auditor, Davidson & Company LLP, with sufficient time to complete the audit. Management notes that there are no disagreements or major unresolved issues with the auditor on any matter of the audit scope or procedures, accounting principles or policies, or financial statement disclosure.
The annual filings consist of: (a) the audited financial statements of the Company for the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2023; (b) the management's discussion & analysis for the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2023; and (c) the chief executive officer and chief financial officer certification of filings under Section 5.1 of National Instrument 52-109 – Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings (collectively, the "2023 Annual Filings").
During the period of default and until filing of the 2023 Annual Filings, the Company intends to satisfy the provisions of the alternative information guidelines as required by National Policy 12-203 – Management Cease Trade Orders. The Company’s management and other insiders are subject to a trading blackout reflecting the principles contained in Section 9 of National Policy 11-207 – Failure-to-File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions until the 2023 Annual Filings have been filed.
The Company is not subject to any insolvency proceedings, and, other than as disclosed in the Company’s press releases, there has been no material information that has not been disclosed.

NEWS -- Tokens.com Provides Corporate Update
TORONTO, November 08, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tokens.com Corp. (NEO Exchange Canada: COIN)(Frankfurt Stock Exchange: 76M) (OTCQB US: SMURF) ("Tokens.com" or the "Company"), a technology company that builds immersive experiences and games in 3D internet environments and owns an inventory of cryptocurrencies, is pleased to provide a corporate update.
To better withstand current market conditions, the Company has streamlined its operations, including a reduction in staff of approximately 40% and the cancellation of certain outsourced services. Management estimates it has eliminated approximately CAD$1.6 million thus far from its operating overhead.
In addition, the Company and the board of directors (the "Board") have agreed to commence a strategic review of the business with a view to enhance shareholder and stakeholder value in the long term. Consideration is being given to a full or a partial sale of business segments or IP within those segments, a sale of the domain name portfolio, including Tokens.com, and/or a sale of the crypto inventory or other digital assets. An independent committee of the Board has been formed to review potential transactions.
Neither the Board nor the Committee have set a timetable to complete the strategic review process nor have any decisions been made relating to strategic alternatives at this time. There can be no assurance that the review process will result in a transaction. The Company does not intend to provide any updates or make any announcements unless or until it determines that further disclosure is appropriate or necessary.
Corporate Update and Strategic Direction Going Forward
Tokens.com has focused on building web3 projects and holding an inventory of crypto assets for staking. In 2021, our assets and share price appreciated significantly. However, since then, our asset values and share price have declined significantly as a result of several factors largely related to macroeconomic conditions and crypto prices. Management has attempted to offset these conditions through building new web3 businesses intended to bring in new revenue streams and new sources of growth.
While these initiatives have shown success, they will require additional capital commitment for further R&D and marketing. Given weak market conditions, there are no assurances that the Company will be able to access new capital in the future to scale these businesses.
At this time, the Company will scale back on further investments into its business segments in favour of preserving cash, while evaluating its next steps. The Company will maintain operation of its key businesses and crypto inventory, which largely remains staked and earning revenue.
"The last two years have been difficult for micro-cap stocks in the crypto sector. We have been successful in building innovative products and services for web3 for ourselves and third parties. However, these projects require continued capital for R&D and marketing to scale them successfully and cover their associated overhead," said Andrew Kiguel, CEO. "As a result, we have made the decision to reduce our operating overhead to preserve shareholder capital as the Company contemplates its next steps."
Part of management’s evaluation is exploring the sale of its domain name portfolio, including Tokens.com. Management believes that the Tokens.com domain name has tremendous value. CitiGPS predicts the tokenization of all physical and digital assets by the end of the decade is inevitable. As such, management believes that the opportunity to sell the domain name could provide substantial financial compensation to the Company. As a point of reference for its value, it is widely reported online that the domain name crypto.com was sold in 2018 between USD$10-12 million by Monaco, which subsequently rebranded as Crypto.com. NFTs.com is widely reported online to have sold for US$15 million in 2022.
Based on our last reported quarter, Tokens.com has approximately USD$12.2 million in cash and crypto tokens. Tokens.com expects to release its audited year-end result in mid-December 2023. Further information on our year-end audited results will be forthcoming in November 2023. The Company does not anticipate any issues completing its audit on time.
Tokens.com currently focuses on several operating segments, which are described fulsomely below. Through sharing resources and infrastructure across these business segments, Tokens.com is able to incubate these businesses from inception to revenue.
While the review process is ongoing, the Company’s management remains committed to executing on the Company’s strategy and business plan, including in the manner set out below.
Crypto Staking
The Company’s crypto staking segment involves the validation of blockchain transactions via a process called staking. In order to perform this task, a staker needs to own tokens of the asset it wishes to stake. In return, the staker is compensated with additional tokens of the underlying digital asset. We note, this is not a lending process and there is no counterparty risk. It is a process of validation using existing inventory similar to an electronic voting mechanism.
Since the end of 2021, this segment has been negatively impacted by declining crypto prices. To address this, the Company has narrowed the scope of its ownership of tokens to focus on larger names, primarily Ethereum.
Below is a table showing our current crypto ownership and corresponding value as of November 06, 2023.
Strategically, such assets underpin our valuation. We may strategically sell or buy more tokens in the future depending on our capital needs and market conditions. We note that a portion of our assets (denoted in the table above) are held with Genesis Global Trading that is undergoing a restructuring. As a result, some or all of those holdings may not be recovered.
Metaverse Group
Metaverse Group started as a business that purchased and rented out digital land in various metaverses. This business has evolved. As the hype cycle around the metaverse disappeared in 2022 and in 2023, the focus has shifted away from buying digital land and to providing third party clients with an ability to connect to consumers through 3D experiences. This includes the creation of customized games for clients. Today, Metaverse Group does not focus on web3, but instead on creating immersive experiences within web2 games like Roblox and Fortnite. This segment has been successful in attracting several high profile clients.
Since the June 2023 acquisition by the Company of the remaining interest in Metaverse Group which the Company did not own, management has been disappointed in its ability to generate revenue and scale. Revenues in this segment have also been affected by cuts in marketing budgets of potential clients. As a result, we have determined to downsize this business to a level that corresponds with its revenues.
Metaverse Group also owns US$1.56M in digital real estate in various metaverse platforms including Sandbox and Decentraland. While this digital land may have appreciation opportunities in the future, management is exploring the disposition of these digital assets.
Helix Worlds
Helix World is a proprietary ecommerce tool within Metaverse Group that will allow for product placement and advertising within virtual gaming worlds. The product has been in development for over a year and has recently launched.
The consumer ecommerce experience has not changed substantially in the last 20 years. However, with the advent and popularity of new 3D platforms such as Roblox and Fortnite, brands are seeking innovative ways to evolve their ecommerce solutions. Through Helix World, brands have the unprecedented opportunity to place their products into games and 3D environments without breaking the immersive experience. Helix World was innovated for brands to market their products to a new audience and for consumers to enjoy an improved shopping experience. Helix World is platform agnostic and will be available across multiple platforms and popular games such as Roblox and Fortnite.
Hulk Labs
Tokens.com’s video gaming initiatives reside within Hulk Labs. During the last 5 months, Hulk has pivoted from operating a player network in Africa, to developing a data platform called Yeti, that provides data services to the web3 gaming industry and the development of a web3 game called Astraeus Defense. While this may seem like a significant pivot, in reality, Hulk Labs utilized the IP it had already developed and repurposed to areas management feels have more upside.
In a recent report from Deloitte, 96% of Millenials, Gen Alpha and Gen Z located in the United States, play video games, regularly averaging 11-13 hours per week. Web3 gaming is growing rapidly in both the quality and number of games following $4.5 billion dollars invested in web3 games in 2022. Citi GPS estimates web3 gaming will surge up to 100 million players by 2025.
The average age of gamers is around 31 to 35 years old, with the most common age group being between 18 and 34, accounting for 38% of the gaming demographic. This points to the maturity and purchasing power of the average player?.
Going forward, Hulk will focus on the continued development and scaling of Yeti, a web3 gaming dashboard.

NEWS -- Tokens.com Launches Game for Polysleep in Fortnite
TORONTO, October 10, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tokens.com Corp. (NEO Exchange Canada: COIN)(Frankfurt Stock Exchange: 76M) (OTCQB US: SMURF) ("Tokens.com" or the "Company"), a technology company that provides products and services that connect brands to consumers in 3D internet environments, is pleased to announce that it has successfully launched a customized game in the widely popular Fortnite game platform for Polysleep, a leading Canadian mattress company and sleep technology pioneer.
Tokens.com subsidiaries, Metaverse Group and Hulk Labs, collaborated to build and launch a branded game for Polysleep in Fortnite called Woolen Warfare. Woolen Warfare is a Polysleep branded, competitive multiplayer king of the hill game developed by the Hulk Labs team using Fortnite Creative 2.0 in Unreal Editor For Fortnite (UEFN).
"We're not just launching another game; we're revolutionizing the way brands interact with audiences," said Andrew Kiguel, CEO of Tokens.com. " ‘Woolen Warfare' represents a new frontier for marketing, blending the thrill of competitive gaming with the essence of brand identity. We are setting a new standard for what's possible for brands in existing popular 3D games."
Hulk Labs and Metaverse Group have the ability to program on Unity and Unreal Engine to develop activations in Fortnite, Roblox, and many other online platforms. Additionally, the Company is developing expertise to launch games and apps for the new Apple Vision Pro scheduled for release in 2024.
Tokens.com works with forward-thinking brands looking to reach Gen Z, Alpha, and Millennial consumers. A report from Deloitte states, 96% of Millenials, Gen Alpha, and Gen Z located in the United States play video games regularly averaging 11-13 hours per week. Our mission is to craft distinctive branded gaming experiences within these ecosystems, by aligning with client objectives, driving distribution through influencers, streamers and paid media.
"Our objective is to seamlessly blend cutting-edge technology with the gaming experience, allowing gamers to enjoy their favorite pastime while encouraging healthy sleep habits," said Jeremiah Curvers, CEO of Polysleep.
Fortnite boasts an impressive average of 239 million monthly players, where traditional online advertising delivery channels have not yet saturated the attention of gamers in the same ways as social, display and video have. Thus by introducing engaging and innovative branded games, Tokens.com offers brands unparalleled access to a vast, untapped audience. This approach transcends the limitations of conventional marketing strategies, capturing the attention of a new generation of consumers. Tokens.com is committed to delivering a tailor-made service, ensuring that each branded experience is meticulously curated to resonate with its clients' unique vision and brand identity.
Explore Woolen Warfare by Polysleep using island code 3511-4821-9572.

NEWS -- Tokens.com Launches Yeti - A Web3 Gaming Dashboard
TORONTO, October 05, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tokens.com Corp. (NEO Exchange Canada: COIN)(Frankfurt Stock Exchange: 76M) (OTCQB US: SMURF) ("Tokens.com" or the "Company"), a technology company that builds products and services that connect brands to consumers in 3D internet environments, is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Hulk Labs ("Hulk"), has launched "Yeti" www.theyeti.gg. Yeti is a web3 gaming dashboard that provides advanced gaming analytics designed to maximize players' earnings. Additionally, Yeti is an early mover in offering ‘data as a service’ for the web3 gaming industry.
Yeti is targeted at web3 gamers, a user base that is estimated to grow as large as 100 million by 2025, according to CitiGPS. The overall global video game industry is estimated to generate over $170 billion annually, which is estimated to surpass the combined revenues of the Music and Film industries. It is expected that in the next 12 months there will be a vast number of web3 games launched. Yeti’s goal is to be the primary source of information for web3 games and the primary source for players to track their in-game performance.
"With the rapid growth occurring in the web3 gaming community, we have identified a gap in the market for analytical information on these games to support players and game developers," said Andrew Kiguel, CEO of Tokens.com. "We believe our technology in this area is the first of its kind and provides us with excellent exposure to Web3 gaming, the next big opportunity in the entertainment industry."
Web3 games are built upon open marketplaces and networks where users are in control of their in-game items, land and tokens; often creating small economies within the game powered by tokens and digital assets. Management sees an opportunity for Yeti to merge the Public Blockchain data with private in-game data, providing deeper insights to players, a value added data service to game developers and AI applications. TheYeti.gg gaming dashboard enables players to see in-game analytics and model out future outcomes. Over time, TheYeti.gg will also enable game developers to monetize their in-game data.

NEWS -- Tokens.com Reports Financial Results for Q3 2023
TORONTO, August 10, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tokens.com Corp. (NEO Exchange Canada: COIN)(Frankfurt Stock Exchange: 76M) (OTCQB US: SMURF) ("Tokens.com" or the "Company"), a publicly-traded company that builds web3 businesses and owns an inventory of digital assets, is pleased to report its financial results for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2023 ("Q3-2023"). All dollar figures are in United States dollars ("USD"), unless otherwise stated.
Q3-2023 Operation Highlights:
The Company completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares from the minority ownership of Metaverse Group Ltd ("MGL"), effectively owning 100% of MGL.Metaverse Group Ltd added the team behind Startup Slang to its workforce and obtained exclusive access to its "Shoppable" technology, which links in-game purchase transactions to Shopify Plus storefronts.Hulk Labs ("Hulk") announced the advanced development phase of creating a proprietary mobile phone-based web3 video game titled Astraeus Defense.Management is focused on further growth of its businesses, Metaverse Group and Hulk Labs. Those businesses are focused on innovation in the web3 sector in ways that are not tied to the performance of cryptocurrencies. Both businesses have made great strides in providing corporate and brand partners with new ways to engage their customers. We are focused on developing new ecommerce platforms to assist our business clients in shifting from web2 to web3.
"During Q3, we have focused on investing in building IP in our platforms for future growth," said Andrew Kiguel, CEO. "We have seen the sector developing quickly and believe that to succeed we need to stay ahead of the technology. Management is also actively seeking ways to scale, examining potential acquisitions, and preparing to aggressively pursue growth for the remainder of 2023 and beyond."
Metaverse Group Update
In the face of prevailing economic headwinds, many Metaverse Group customers paused or scaled back their marketing budgets, leading to tempered Q3-2023 revenue. However, management remains optimistic by the growth of its pipeline, coupled with heightened interest from potential clients.
Metaverse Group’s dedication to staying at the forefront of technological advancements is evident as MGL harnesses capabilities like Apple's Vision Pro for Mixed Reality. Additionally, MGL announces its applications to development programs with both Apple and Unity, marking a significant stride in its journey.
As Metaverse Group builds its intellectual property, it is also paving the way for its inaugural e-commerce product designed to foster seamless transactions within 3D virtual environments.
Another highlight of MGL’s innovations is the development of its branded game portfolio. By collaborating with platforms such as Roblox and the Fortnite Create series, MGL is carving out a distinctive space for its brand in the gaming universe. These endeavors allow MGL not only to enhance its engagement with a wider audience but also to showcase the commitment to building emerging entertainment with state-of-the-art technology.
Hulk Labs Update
After the end of Q2-2023, Hulk Labs underwent a change in management and an operational review. The decision was made to no longer operate a player network. Hulk Labs still intends to use the Playte software to integrate third party players in its reviewed business plan. Going forward, Hulk will focus on gaming software and web3 game development.
During Q3-2023, Hulk Labs has made significant progress on its core focus of developing gaming software and announced development of a web3 game called Astraeus Defense. Hulk Labs has focused its business on three core areas 1) Analytics dashboards for web3 gamers 2) Web3 game development, with the first title called Astraeus Defense and 3) Service delivery partner of branded games for clients.
Hulk Labs is using the latest AI assistive tools in the game development process for Astraeus Defense. Hulk Labs uses AI tools in video development, character animation, art development, 3D asset development, voice acting and more areas to increase efficiency. Hulk Labs is constantly evaluating new tools and has received beta access to test new assistive AI technologies. Hulk sees a future where game development will be heavily influenced by the positive benefits of efficiency, cost reduction and creativity that assistive AI tools offer game designers. Another significant development in the web3 gaming space is Google enabling NFT’s in gaming apps in the Google Play Store.
Hulk Labs in partnership with Metaverse Group is building a branded game for a company in the furniture industry, being developed in Unreal Engine and will launch in the Epic Games Store for Back To School. The game will be used as a marketing tool by the client to promote their back-to-school offerings.

NEWS -- Tokens.com Developing Mobile Web3 Game
TORONTO, July 13, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tokens.com Corp. (NEO Exchange Canada: COIN) (Frankfurt Stock Exchange: 76M) (OTCQB US: SMURF) ("Tokens.com" or the "Company"), a publicly-traded company that builds web3 businesses and owns an inventory of digital assets, is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Hulk Labs ("Hulk") is in the advanced development phase of creating a proprietary mobile phone-based web3 video game titled Astraeus Defense (https://astraeusdefense.com/).
According to the Federal Trade Commission - Gaming is the largest sector of the entertainment industry with an estimated 3.2 billion gamers globally (2). Surpassing the combined revenues of the Music and Film industries, gaming generates a sum exceeding $170 billion annually (1). Citi GPS’ estimates the number of web3 wallets to surge from one million in 2022 to between 50 million - 100 million by 2025 (2).
Mobile games offer a larger addressable global player base, outnumbering PC and console players. The Hulk team has identified this burgeoning opportunity in the video game industry and is positioning itself to be ahead of this shift as gamers move from web2 consoles and PCs to mobile play-to-earn web3 video games.
Astraeus Defense is a competitive multiplayer sci-fi combat game that allows players to take on the role of one of eight unique extra-terrestrial species. Targeted at the Zalpha Generation (a combination of generation Alpha and Z), Astraeus Defense will be a mobile first game, with innovative web3 economic mechanics developed by Hulk Labs. Astraeus Defense leverages the most popular mechanisms from successful web2 and web3 minigames, which it pairs with a custom tokenomics system, bringing a novel experience to web3 gaming.
In creating the game, Hulk has employed AI technology to develop the concept and establish some of the 2D game art. The team has also employed an AI assistive tool to enhance efficiency of certain aspects of the game's 3D animation process.
Under new leadership, Hulk Labs is utilizing its in-house expertise to launch games for brands and further develop its product offerings. The studio will focus on creating proprietary and branded mobile games targeted at the Zalpha Generation.
"We have strategically evolved our approach at Hulk Labs by ramping up the development of our game studio. As part of this, we are excited for the launch of our game specifically targeted at play-to-earn, mobile users. Gaming is a massive market undergoing a shift. We have repositioned Hulk to service this growing opportunity," says Andrew Kiguel, CEO of Tokens.com. "Hulk Labs boasts an exceptional team of highly skilled developers and tokenomics experts, which allows us to build out our own product lines and gives us the capabilities to service branded games for brands and businesses exploring web3 gaming."
Additionally, Hulk Labs has expanded its team and has hired additional staff to support game development, product development, and core game analytics. The expanded team enables Hulk to deliver on client brand projects and further the development of its data product.
Astraeus Defense will be initially beta tested for use in 2023 and is scheduled for full release in Q1 of 2024.

NEWS -- Tokens.com Acquires Startup Slang Team and Its Ecommerce IP
TORONTO, June 29, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tokens.com Corp. (NEO Exchange Canada: COIN)(Frankfurt Stock Exchange: 76M) (OTCQB US: SMURF) ("Tokens.com" or the "Company"), a publicly-traded company that builds web3 businesses and owns an inventory of digital assets, is pleased to announce that the team behind Startup Slang has joined its subsidiary, Metaverse Group. Metaverse Group will also have exclusive access to the "Shoppable" metaverse technology developed by Startup Slang that links in-game purchase transactions to Shopify Plus storefronts.
Startup Slang was the first to connect a mobile game to a Shopify Plus store. This technology is the first of its kind and can be seen in the popular interior home decor game called "Design Home". Design Home is a mobile game that has been downloaded over 100 million times in the Apple and Android app stores. The game allows players to decorate interior design spaces with pieces that can be purchased directly from popular interior decor brands in the physical world. This new technology further bridges the gap between the physical and virtual world using middleware solutions and creates a seamless shopping experience.
This technology allows Metaverse Group to build customizable gamified experiences for brands looking to reach new audiences and sell their product in an immersive and seamless way. As leaders in web3 development, Metaverse Group’s services position brands to make an easy shift from two-dimensional to three-dimensional marketing.
"We know that three dimensional marketing is the way of the future, this is evident with all the money tech giants like Apple are spending in creating wearable headsets," said Andrew Kiguel, CEO of Tokens.com. "It has been challenging finding the right solutions to connect products in digital experiences to ecommerce but by acquiring the Startup Slang team and their IP, this gives Metaverse Group an added advantage to further enhance gamified shopping experiences."
"By joining our Shoppable metaverse technology with Tokens.com and Metaverse Group, we plan to scale these types of deployments and allow brands to add an additional ecommerce source of revenue to their businesses through the metaverse. This will be a pivotal move towards the public's mass adoption of the metaverse," said Damiano Raveenthiran, founder and former CEO of Startup Slang.

NEWS -- Tokens.com Completes Acquisition of Metaverse Group
TORONTO, June 05, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tokens.com Corp. (NEO Exchange Canada: COIN)(Frankfurt Stock Exchange: 76M) (OTCQB US: SMURF) ("Tokens.com" or the "Company"), a publicly-traded company that builds web3 businesses and owns an inventory of digital assets, is pleased to announce that it has closed its acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares from the minority shareholders of Metaverse Group LTD that the Company does not already own. In addition, Metaverse Group has launched a new website, which can be visited at https://metaversegroup.com, reflecting its expanding business branding.
As consideration for the acquisition, Tokens.com has issued 20,576,941 common shares to the minority Metaverse Group shareholders. Each minority Metaverse Group shareholder will receive 0.347 Tokens.com shares per Metaverse Group share. The Tokens.com shares to be issued as part of this transaction will be subject to contractual escrow provisions over a nine month period. In addition, an aggregate of 3,105,650 options to purchase shares of Tokens.com and 694,000 RSUs of Tokens.com were issued as replacement securities to certain security holders of Metaverse Group. This transaction has been approved by the board of directors of both entities, Metaverse Group shareholders, and the NEO Exchange.
The integration of the two entities will further enhance the synergies between the two entities, including Hulk Labs, the gaming unit of Tokens.com. The gamification capabilities of Hulk Labs will enhance Metaverse Groups services offered to clients. The merger will enable the development of new, immersive experiences within the metaverse, combining the best of gaming and virtual reality. Furthermore, the amalgamation is expected to bring additional synergies in corporate overhead, investor relations, public relations, and human resources.
Metaverse Group also continues to build its software development capabilities across various web2 and web3 metaverses. This includes web2 metaverses such as Robolox, which has an estimated 65 million users daily. Metaverse Group is platform agnostic and is able to deliver value within all types of 3D virtual realities. In addition, Metaverse Group is looking at expanding its service capabilities to headsets, which will allow its clients to build on such platforms like the forthcoming Apple VR Headset set for release later this year.
Tokens.com will actively seek to acquire other companies that align with its vision and mission. The company believes that these strategic acquisitions will further strengthen its position in web3 and accelerate its growth.
Tokens.com intends to gradually pivot from its staking operations to focus on the building of Metaverse Group and Hulk Labs. In the future, the Company may seek to sell part or all of its staking inventory to finance further growth in its businesses.
"The staking business has provided a strong cushion of capital for our business since inception," said Andrew Kiguel, CEO. "As the Company grows, we need to evaluate where we can achieve the highest risk adjusted returns. With token values peaking in 2021 and staking rewards declining for large cap tokens, we are evaluating the most strategic and rewarding ways to use the digital assets on behalf of shareholders." added Kiguel.

The Tokens.com shares to be issued as part of this transaction will be subject to contractual escrow provisions over a nine month period. This transaction has been approved by the board of directors of both entities and, pending approval of Metaverse Group Shareholders at a meeting scheduled to be held on April 26th, 2023, as well as approval by the NEO Exchange, is expected to close in May 2023.
The integration of the two entities will further enhance the synergies between the two entities, including Hulk Labs, the gaming unit of Tokens.com. The gamification capabilities of Hulk Labs will greatly enhance Metaverse Groups branded product offerings. Furthermore, the amalgamation is expected to bring additional synergies in areas such as corporate overhead, investor relations, public relations, and human resources.
"Since Metaverse Group’s inception in 2021, its team has been working closely with the Tokens.com team, delivering category-leading products for clients like Forever21 and DKNY," said Andrew Kiguel, CEO of Tokens.com. "Together, we look to generate additional growth and strengthen our combined balance sheet."
Lorne Sugarman, who currently holds the position of CEO at Metaverse Group, will assume the role of President, Operations at Tokens.com and will be appointed as a Director to the board of Tokens.com.
"I’m excited to be working with the team at Hulk and Tokens. I believe their skills and capabilities will enhance our future product offerings. We are constantly working to create better solutions for our clients," said Lorne Sugarman.
In addition to its staking operations and Metaverse Group, Tokens.com continues to own approximately 94% of Hulk Labs, its play-to-earn gaming subsidiary.
Completion of the transaction is subject to receipt of NEO Exchange approval and other customary closing conditions for transactions of this nature. No assurance or guarantee can be made that such conditions will be met or that the transaction will complete.

NEWS -- Tokens.com Reports Financial Results for Q1 2023
TORONTO, February 14, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tokens.com Corp. (NEO Exchange Canada: COIN)(Frankfurt Stock Exchange: 76M) (OTCQB US: SMURF) ("Tokens.com" or the "Company"), a publicly-traded company that invests in web3 assets and builds businesses linked to crypto staking, the metaverse, and play-to-earn gaming, is pleased to report its financial results for three months ended December 31, 2022 ("Q1-2023"). All dollar figures are in United States dollars ("USD"), unless otherwise stated.
Q1-2023 Operation Highlights:
- Tokens.com’s subsidiary, Metaverse Group Ltd, fully leased its digital real estate in two popular Decentraland neighborhoods. The land was occupied by a diverse collection of esteemed brands and businesses.
- Metaverse Group hosted its first metaverse music festival in Decentraland on its Music Hub property.
- Metaverse Group successfully acquired CocoNFT, an NFT platform for non crypto-native creators.
- Tokens.com and Metaverse Group have partnered with the AIR MILES® Reward Program to become the first brand-agnostic loyalty program of the metaverse.
- Hulk Labs signed a partnership agreement with Aftermath Islands Limited, a controlled subsidiary of Liquid Avatar Technologies.
- Hulk Labs has successfully integrated over a thousand player wallets into its network, with a primary focus on Africa.
- Hulk Labs acquired a validator node license for Splinterlands, one of the longest running and most active play-to-earn games, and entered into a broad partnership with the Splinterlands team.
- Tokens.com liquidated some of its tokens in inventory in favour of holding cash, in consideration of volatile crypto prices and the ongoing turmoil caused by the bankruptcy of FTX and BlockFi.
Management is focused on building its web3 businesses, Metaverse Group and Hulk Labs. Those businesses are focused on innovation in the web3 sector in ways that are not tied to the performance of cryptocurrencies. Both businesses have made great strides in providing corporate and brand partners with new ways to engage their customers.
Metaverse Group and Hulk Labs both became revenue positive in 2022 through focus on innovative services and through building proprietary intellectual property. The Company’s strategy is to limit its crypto exposure to Layer 1 cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum and Polkadot, while also building sustainable and profitable businesses that leverage web3 and blockchain technology. This strategy provides investors with the potential upside in crypto prices and the growing use cases for blockchain technology.
"In 2022, Tokens.com was successful in laying down the foundation for two new operating segments being Metaverse Group and Hulk Labs in the metaverse and gaming sectors, respectively. These subsidiaries are now revenue positive, but still in the very early stages of their growth. For 2023, management is focused on scaling growth within those operations to generate more significant levels of revenue," said Andrew Kiguel, CEO.
Q1-2023 Financial Highlights
- The Company achieved revenue of $152k for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to $326k for the three months ended December 31, 2021 ("Q1-2022").
- Total cash and cryptocurrency holdings of $10.4 million, or CAD$13.5 million as of December 31, 2022.
- Staking revenue was $40k for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to $216k for the three months ended December 31, 2021.
- Increased Ethereum holdings to 3,273, as of the date of this press release.
- Average gross staking yields of 6.9% for Q1-2023, compared to 4.6% for Q1-2022, due to a change in token mix.
- Metaverse Group continued to gain traction in its metaverse consulting business, with consulting revenue of $85k and lease revenue of $23k during Q1-2023.
- Operating expenses were $718k for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021.
- A non-cash loss on revaluation of its cryptocurrency assets of $1.3 million for Q1-2023, compared to a loss of $829k for Q1-2022. Loss on disposal of digital assets was $102k for the three months ended December 31, 2022, compared to a gain of $1.5 million during the three months ended December 31, 2021.
- A net loss and comprehensive loss for the three months ended December 31, 2022, attributable to Tokens.com, of $1.6 million, compared to net loss of $3.7 million and comprehensive loss of $1.6 million, attributable to Tokens.com, for the three months ended December 31, 2022.
Continuous Disclosure
Further to a review by the staff of the Ontario Securities Commission (the "OSC") of the Company’s continuous disclosure, the Q1-2023 MD&A includes enhanced disclosures with respect to the Company’s staking operations and custody of its assets.
As a result of having to make such enhanced disclosure after the OSC review, the Company has been placed on the public list of Refilings and Errors in accordance with OSC Staff Notice 51-711 (Revised) - Refilings and Corrections of Errors for a period of three years, effective today.

NEWS -- Tokens.com Provides Further Update on Assets Held at Genesis Global Capital
TORONTO, January 20, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tokens.com Corp. (NEO Exchange Canada: COIN)(Frankfurt Stock Exchange: 76M) (OTCQB US: SMURF) ("Tokens.com" or the "Company"), a publicly-traded company that invests in web3 assets and builds businesses linked to crypto staking, the metaverse and play-to-earn gaming, provides update on assets being held with Genesis Global Capital, LLC ("Genesis").
In the evening of January 19th, 2022, Genesis Global Capital filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Tokens.com has a loan facility with Genesis, for which the Company was required to post collateral in token assets. Based on the closing price on January 19, 2023, this collateral was worth approximately US$749k. Tokens.com has a loan outstanding against this collateral of US$138k. The difference between the collateral and the loan value represents approximately 3.1% of Tokens.com’s total assets of US$20.0 million as at September 30, 2022, our financial year-end.
Tokens.com has been aware of the issues at Genesis and has been requesting to have its collateral returned and repay the loan outstanding. Redemption of collateral for all lending clients has been frozen by Genesis since November 16, 2022. Genesis is currently establishing a customary claims process, which could put all or a portion of the value of the Tokens.com’s net collateral at risk.
The unavailability of these tokens does not have a material impact on Tokens.com’s financial position or operations. There was no cash held at Genesis. Tokens.com remains well capitalized to meet its future plans and this does not affect the Company’s cash position.
The remainder of crypto assets owned by Tokens.com are held in internally managed wallets which are not at risk of third-party management or custody issues.
Tokens.com management continues to monitor the situation and remains in contact with Genesis to seek a resolution to this situation that is in the best interest of Tokens.com shareholders.

NEWS -- Tokens.com Subsidiary Announces Partnership with Splinterlands, a Leading P2E Game
TORONTO, January 18, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tokens.com Corp. (NEO Exchange Canada: COIN)(Frankfurt Stock Exchange: 76M) (OTCQB US: SMURF) ("Tokens.com" or the "Company"), a publicly-traded company that invests in web3 assets and builds businesses linked to crypto staking, the metaverse, and play-to-earn gaming, is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Hulk Labs, has acquired a validator node license for the popular play-to-earn (P2E) game Splinterlands and has entered into a broad partnership with the Splinterlands team.
Splinterlands is one of the longest running and most active play-to-earn (P2E) games in the web3 space, boasting over 350,000 players and 12 million+ transactions daily. Validator node operators like Hulk earn a share of 3,750,000 Splintershards tokens per month, as well as game VOUCHERS, both of which can be exchanged for on-chain game assets or traded freely on secondary markets. Validator node licenses for Splinterlands originally went on pre-sale in May 2022, selling out the 2,000 licenses available at launch in 11 minutes.
The acquisition of a validator node license is aligned with Hulk Labs focus on yield generation within the web3 gaming space, as Splinterlands has shown itself to be a sustainable game – even amid the current bear market. Hulk plans to leverage its validator node to earn in-game assets which will be used to deploy into its growing network of players.
In addition to the node license, Hulk Labs has also partnered with NFTy Arcade, to leverage their guild tooling and facilitate the onboarding of new Splinterlands players across the world.
Hulk is planning a further expansion into the Splinterlands ecosystem in partnership with NFTy arcade - and is leveraging their Splinterlands experience, player and asset management tools, and rewards tracking allows for a seamless on-ramp for Hulk Labs player network.
The current crypto market environment has made it challenging for new games to come to market, but Splinterlands has remained strong. In addition to the main deck-builder based game, Splinterlands is also prepared to release a highly anticipated tower defense game. Pre-sales for tower defense card packs launched on September 20th, and sold out in 12 hours, with over 200,000 of the 250,000 packs available selling in the first 30 minutes.
"Hulk Labs continues to grow its platform and revenue generating opportunities," said Andrew Kiguel, CEO of Tokens.com. "As web3 gaming and P2E continue to grow, Hulk Labs is positioned to be an industry leader in analytics and wallet management software."
P2E games interested in a partnership with Hulk Labs can contact mailto://contact@tokens.com.
