Karate Combat is a unique experience combining professional martial arts with gaming and Web3 technology. It features a full contact karate league with fighters from various karate styles and, occasionally, other striking-based martial arts, compete in a unique, 6.5m x 6.5m "combat pit" with 45-degree angled walls that promote continuous action.
A hallmark of Karate Combat is its innovative use of technology. Fights are streamed globally and feature immersive CGI environments created with the Unreal Engine, offering a visually distinct experience. The league is deeply integrated with Web3 technologies, and leverages the Hedera blockchain network.
This integration includes the $KARATE token, which allows fans to participate in the "Up Only Gaming" system which rewards users for wins without forcing them to wager tokens. Through a dedicated mobile app, fans vote for fighters, potentially increasing the fighters' prize pools, and earn more $KARATE tokens if their chosen fighters win, without losing tokens for incorrect picks.
Karate Combat’s unique combat system features rules emphasizing exciting, striking-based combat, with three-minute rounds and a scoring system that rewards aggression and effectiveness. It’s known for its fast-paced action, powerful knockouts, and unique presentation.

Gaimin's core product is a free-to-download PC application that runs in the background, detecting when a user's computer is idle and then utilizing its processing power for various tasks, such as AI model training, video rendering, and blockchain computations. In return for contributing their resources, gamers are rewarded with Gaimin's native cryptocurrency, GMRX. This creates a passive income stream for gamers and provides a cost-effective solution for businesses in need of high-performance computing.
