Look, let's be honest, the blockchain buzz never truly dies. On the 23rd, NEXUS Co., Ltd. announced a strategic partnership with Taiwanese developer Mustaverse to bring their card game, Auralyall, onto the CROSS platform. It’s a push to fold Auralyall into the CROSS ecosystem, ostensibly to broaden the reach for Web3 gamers across the globe.

So, what is Auralyall? It’s a Web3 social trading card game that mashes together NFT collecting, strategic card combat, and the usual player-to-player asset trading and upgrading mechanics. You build your deck, you scrap, and you supposedly own your blockchain-based loot. The game has actually turned some heads in the circuit, finishing 4th out of 1,000 projects at the 2025 Bybit Unleashed Hackathon and taking the top spot among 400 contenders at the Ethereum Global Taipei Hackathon.

Jang Hyun-guk, CEO of NEXUS Co., Ltd., seems quite chuffed. "Auralyall is a Web3 card game with solid gameplay and competitive pedigree proven on the world stage," he claims. He adds, in what the publisher calls a grand expansion, that they intend to "add top-tier titles across various genres to the CROSS ecosystem, giving players more to do and developers a much larger global stage to perform on."
