The main competitive advantage of the Salsa Valley crypto platform is due to the fact that we seamlessly integrate the world of cryptocurrencies and Web2.
We solve common crypto project problems such as costly user acquisition, multi-account issues, and barriers associated with poor user engagement and actual usage of crypto products.
What truly sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to creating an inclusive and sustainable ecosystem through the networking effects of our ecosystem’s products: Crypto Cartoons, Crypto Board Game, Play2Earn Games and Metaverse. We break down the barriers between Web2 and Web3 by offering gamified cryptocurrency learning experiences and truly set ourselves apart from the competition.
How Salsa Valley is changing the world
We are proud of our team who are passionate and determined to revolutionize the crypto gaming industry. The Salsa Valley team sees their startup not only as a business venture, but also as a means to bring entertainment, gamified education and networking to the world of cryptocurrencies, while making a significant impact on improving the user experience in the world of cryptocurrencies.
For the Salsa Valley team, success is measured by our brand awareness (which we have consistently achieved over the last 2.5 years of project development), user engagement and growth in our ecosystem, and increased adoption of cryptocurrencies through our products overall.
Salsa Valley is not just a crypto platform. It’s a community.
Targeting both Web2 housewives and Web3 crypto enthusiasts, we foster diversity and create a unique blend of real-world entertainment and blockchain engagement.
We firmly believe that we are creating a GATEWAY to the world of crypto for newbies in an easily engaging and gamified way, fundamentally changing the landscape of crypto adoption.
Our goals for 2024
Winning the title of Miami Startup of the Year gives us a certain commitment.
In 2024, we intend to take on this role by continuing to innovate, expanding our ecosystem, and maintaining our commitment to sustainability.
We see ourselves as pioneers shaping the future of the industry, especially given our brand-new products and marketing instruments in the crypto industry.
Our roadmap for 2024 includes the launch of our flagship Web3 products, the Cook2Earn and Shill2Earn games, and the integration of the SALSA token into our ecosystem. We aim to achieve critical mass, gather a significant new audience from Web2, and strengthen our position as the leading B2B2C platform in the cryptocurrency space.
We are excited by the trend of increasing access to AI and technology, which makes it easier and more financially rewarding to create innovative gaming and entertainment products.
However, we believe that even in the fast-paced, high-tech world, there will still be a demand for classic board games like the Salsa Valley board game, which we will continue to use as a tool to attract a web2 audience to crypto.
Especially considering the market figures in our market reserve that this industry is gaining growth and has already reached $19 bln per year and that’s almost like GameFi ($26.5 bln). So the possibilities are endless!
Our biggest success so far and lessons learned
Our biggest successes so far before being honored as Startup of the Year in Miami 2023 are the People’s Choice Award at the American Metaverse Awards and successful participation with prize-winning entries in various hackathons and expos.
