VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 17, 2024 / ESE Entertainment Inc. (TSXV:ESE)(OTCQX:ENTEF) ("ESE" or the "Company"), a gaming company that provides a range of services to leading video game developers and publishers, is pleased to be highlighted by Benzinga in their recent coverage of the launch of the $MPRO cryptocurrency by ESE's partner, MetaPro.

The article, which details the introduction of the $MPRO token, rolled out today on April 17, 2024 and can be read in full here: www.benzinga.com/partner/cryptocurrency/24/04/38290073/ese-entertainment-otc-entef-partner-metapro-launches-mpro-cryptocurrency-further-cementing.

Konrad Wasiela, CEO of ESE, shared his insights with Benzinga on the strategic partnership, "We have been actively working towards partnering with strategic companies that can drive growth. The opportunity in the metaverse and Web3 directly crosses into gaming, and we believe that ESE is uniquely positioned to provide technology and services to the metaverse. We are excited to work with and scale new opportunities with MetaPro."

The Benzinga article further emphasizes the versatility of the $MPRO token within the MetaPro ecosystem. It serves various functions, including governance, transactions, rewards, and as the currency for purchasing NODEs. The implementation of LayerZero is anticipated to make $MPRO an omnichannel token, enhancing its accessibility across multiple blockchain networks.

The launch of $MPRO is accompanied by three community reward campaigns with prizes totaling more than $340,000, underlining MetaPro's commitment to its user base and the expansive growth of its ecosystem.

Michał Bartczak, CEO of MetaPro, highlighted the importance of their collaboration with ESE, "2023 was a landmark year, and our work with ESE was pivotal in reaching these milestones. As we step into 2024, the cryptocurrency market has been growing fast, and our focus is on developing and deploying new technologies. ESE has become a strategic partner with MetaPro, and we are excited to work together to enter new markets and execute on existing contracts and business globally."

The positive exposure from Benzinga underscores ESE's role at the forefront of technological innovation in the gaming and cryptocurrency sectors, setting the stage for further growth and the expansion of its global footprint.
