Zilliqa branding will also feature on the jerseys of MAD Lions players and content creators. In addition, the company’s branding will be integrated into social media content.

The partnership is set to last for at least five years and will include a number of activations in the metaverse. MAD Lions did not share specific details about the deal’s finances, however, a ‘significant portion’ of the funds have been issued in ZIL – Zilliqa’s native currency. 

The partnership was officially announced by OverActive Media, the parent company of MAD Lions, Toronto Ultra and Toronto Defiant. 

Partnering with Zilliqa opens the doors for us to deliver enhanced experiences to our fans in the metaverse. Their technical expertise paired with our ability to engage fans enables us to access a new dimension of entertainment. We are also proud to partner with a brand in this space that is committed to sustainability. Zilliqa’s ambitions to become carbon neutral by 2022 sealed the deal.

Jorge Schnura, Vice President of Strategy at OverActive Media

The entities noted in a release that MAD Lions’ community will have access to exclusive events for fans in the organisation’s metaverse. This includes viewing parties and giveaways.

This isn’t the first time that Zilliqa has teamed up with an esports organisation. In 2021, the company secured a metaverse and blockchain partnership with Ninjas in Pyjamas.

MAD Lions already have an extensive and loyal following, so we are excited to have them enter our metaverse and give them an opportunity to build unforgettable experiences for their fans. Our experience within the esports market and expertise in scalable blockchain technology have this collaboration set for unlimited potential over the next five years.

Dr. Ben Livshits, CEO of Zilliqa
