BlockchainK2 Corp. Announces Launch of Amplify Games and Provides Corporate Update
Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – March 1, 2021) – BlockchainK2 Corp. (TSXV: BITK) (OTCQB: BIDCF) (FSE: KRL2) (“BlockchainK2” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the launch of Amplify Games Inc. (“Amplify Games”). Amplify Games utilizes blockchain technology to create a decentralized distribution network for digital games. This will encourage game development outside of the current monopolistic console and game publishing industries. The technology platform of Amplify Games will restore trust between game developers and distributors by recording sales on a blockchain. Amplify Games will also shift the definition of a successful game away from revenue and toward in-game currency value or tokenization, thereby refocusing game development efforts to benefit players.
Amplify Games connects game studios, influencers/streamers and game communities together to enable a game from any studio to maximize its exposure. Games such as “Among Us” were amazing and creative games that initially had little traction and only became popular by chance. Amplify Games’ platform and network is specifically designed to elevate digital games allowing them to maximize exposure and to reach potentially millions of gamers who can then access, buy and play those games.
With Amplify Games, a game would no longer need to be promoted by a mega-publisher in order to become a success. Its technology together with a network of influencers and game communities can bring the power back to the “little guy” to allow them to do what they love – design great games.
“Investor interest in video gaming is strong and, as a publicly listed company, BlockchainK2 can offer traditional investors a way to participate in gaming and the blockchain space. The network effect of an interconnected market is the thing that really drives long term retention and exponential growth,” said Sergei Stetsenko, CEO of BlockchainK2.
BlockchainK2 is also pleased to announce the appointment of Tony Caputo as Chief Executive Officer and President of Amplify Games Inc., the Company’s wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary. Mr. Caputo has deep connections with decades of experience in the gaming industry along with strong technical and leadership skills in the blockchain technology space. As part of its leadership team, Mr. Caputo will spearhead the development of Amplify Games. Mr. Caputo’s employment agreement provides for a signing bonus of 60,000 shares of BlockchainK2, subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
BlockchainK2 has also retained the services of HE Capital (the “Consultant”) to provide brand awareness and digital marketing services to the Company. The Consultant has been paid consideration of $25,000 for a three-month contract. The Company and the Consultant maintain an arm’s length relationship, and the Consultant does not have any interest, directly or indirectly, in the securities of the Company. The agreement with the Consultant is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
BlockchainK2 is no longer proceeding with the previously announced non-binding letter of intent to acquire Equity Games, LLC.
About Amplify Games Inc.
Amplify Games is a gaming technology platform that is solving the problems of today with technology that will empower the future of digital game distribution and promotion. The platform uses blockchain technology to change the current studio, publisher, influencer paradigm. This combination of the needs within the gaming industry and the solutions that blockchain can provide to meet those needs is what will enable Amplify Games to take advantage of huge opportunities in the $45 billion digital games market.

Humanity Protocol and Open Campus Partner to Integrate Achievements and Interoperable Credentials for Decentralized Education
Humanity Protocol, the leader in on-chain Proof of Humanity (PoH) and decentralized identity, is thrilled to announce its strategic partnership with Open Campus (EDU), the Web3 education protocol.
This collaboration will redefine digital identity and credentialing for learners, educators, and developers, enabling interoperable, privacy-preserving credentials that can be seamlessly used across decentralized ecosystems.
Humanity Protocol’s Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) framework and Proof of Humanity (PoH) technology ensure Sybil-resistant, verified human authentication for Web3 applications. Open Campus complements this by empowering users with tools to issue, manage, and utilize education-related credentials through its Open Campus ID and Achievements System.
Together, the two projects aim to unlock a future where identity and educational credentials are secure, interoperable, and privacy-focused.
At the core of this partnership is the integration of Open Campus Achievements and Open Campus ID with Humanity Protocol’s decentralized identity graph. This integration ensures that credentials issued on Open Campus are validated and interoperable, allowing users to showcase their verified educational accomplishments across Web3 platforms.
Key features of the collaboration include:
- Achievement Verification: Open Campus will focus on issuing education-related credentials, such as course completions, certifications, and learning milestones. These Achievements will be authenticated using Humanity Protocol’s verifiable credential (VC) framework, enabling secure and portable credentialing.
- Interoperable Identity: Open Campus ID will integrate with Humanity Protocol’s Proof of Humanity, providing users with privacy-preserving, Sybil-resistant identities. These identities will enable users to leverage their credentials in governance, professional, and educational applications.
The partnership between Humanity Protocol and Open Campus introduces new use cases that benefit learners, educators, and developers. Users can create portable, privacy-preserving portfolios combining Proof of Humanity and verified Open Campus Achievements. These portfolios can be used in professional and academic settings to showcase skills and accomplishments securely.
Learners and educators can leverage their interoperable identities to participate in governance activities on both Humanity Protocol and Open Campus platforms. By tying voting to verified individuals, governance becomes more transparent and fair. dApp developers can build applications that integrate Humanity Protocol’s identity verification with Open Campus’s credentialing, enabling innovations in decentralized education, recruitment, and professional networking.
In addition to technical integration, Humanity Protocol will actively support Open Campus in its ongoing conversations with educational institutions. By providing expertise in decentralized identity and credentialing, Humanity Protocol will help Open Campus establish trust and drive adoption of its Achievements and Open Campus ID among schools, universities, and certification bodies.
This collaboration strengthens the bridge between traditional education systems and the decentralized future. Humanity Protocol’s zkProofers will ensure that all verifications remain privacy-focused. Users will be able to prove their identities and credentials without exposing sensitive personal data, enabling secure and trustworthy interactions in education, governance, and professional contexts. By integrating these privacy-preserving solutions, the partnership ensures that credentials remain both secure and portable across ecosystems.
Terence Kwok, Founder and CEO of Humanity Protocol says: “Our partnership with Open Campus marks a significant milestone in integrating decentralized identity with education. By combining Proof of Humanity with Open Campus Achievements and Open Campus ID, we empower learners and educators to take control of their credentials in a way that is secure, interoperable, and privacy-focused. Humanity Protocol is also proud to support Open Campus in its ongoing conversations with educational institutions, helping to bridge Web3 innovation with traditional education systems.”
Jonah Lau, Head of Open Campus (EDU) and Portfolio Management, Animoca Brand says: “Collaborating with Humanity Protocol enhances the usability and security of Open Campus Achievements and IDs. By integrating with Proof of Humanity, we’re ensuring that learners and educators can seamlessly use their credentials across Web3, paving the way for a more interconnected and equitable decentralized education ecosystem. This partnership positions Open Campus as a leader in Web3 education innovation.”
