nCORE’s primary task is to build a metaverse for its players, alongside releasing game-related NFTs and tokens. Indian entrepreneur and gaming veteran Vishal Gondol mentioned that Web 3.0 development and implementation into their platform will bring in a lot more players from the region.

Speaking with TechCrunch, Gondol talked about the importance of rewarding users playing their games, stating: 

"Currently when you’re playing a game, the maximum upside for you was to become part of some community. Now while you’re playing the game, you also have the chance to own value of the game."
