ESE Entertainment Inc has announced a framework agreement with Skinwallet SA to develop technological and marketing solutions connected to Skinwallet’s gaming, esports, blockchain, NFT (non-fungible token) and related services and events.
The Vancouver, British Columbia-based company noted that Skinwallet is a technology company that focuses on blockchain, NFT and metaverse solutions.
As a part of the cooperation deal, ESE said it will offer its clients brand awareness campaigns in the metaverse. It will also create and organize customized virtual sports competitions and market stalls for lifestyle and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) brands to grow Skinwallet’s innovative products and services.

ESE noted that one of Skinwallet’s flagship projects is Cyber Warriors Army, a collection of 8,000 unique PFP (profile picture) NFT tokens illustrating Cyber Warriors – masters of esports battles in the CyberVersum ecosystem, an esports-focused metaverse developed by Skinwallet.
It said Skinwallet aims to make CyberVersum a place for engagement among different esports brands on a Web3 platform, and for the creation of new NFT collections.
“The growth opportunities in the metaverse and Web3 are unprecedented,” ESE CEO Konrad Wasiela said in a statement. “We are thrilled to partner with a proven operator in this sector and to scale alongside one another. ESE is perfectly positioned to assist Skinwallet in their global expansion in the metaverse.”
The company said the partnership with Skinwallet will allow it to participate in the bourgeoning space of creating and trading digital assets in the most popular video games by providing technological, marketing, user engagement, and similar services. As a part of the partnership, it said it will not be creating or selling any NFTs or other digital assets itself.
“Along with the growing interest and very dynamic development of the metaverse, we see that both esport and gaming in the newly emerging world built around Web3 is a very large area that awaits development, an area in which, as Skinwallet, we see great potential for further development,” Skinwallet CEO Kornel Szwaja added.
“Therefore, we are very proud to announce our cooperation with ESE. ESE as a global player with an established position in the world of gaming and esports marketing and with proven assets is a natural partner for us. I believe that by complementing each other's competencies, we will succeed in this newly emerging market," he said.
ESE Entertainment is a Europe-based entertainment and technology company focused on gaming, particularly on esports. It provides a range of services to leading video game developers, publishers, and brands by providing technology, infrastructure, and fan engagement services internationally.
