Ultra 소개
Ultra is a PC game distribution platform built on its own Layer 1 forked from EOSIO/Antelope technology, started in 2018, with products including the Ultra Games store, the Uniq NFT marketplace, Ultra Wallet and the Ultra Arena esports platform. The pain point it addresses is that players on traditional platforms only buy a usage license with no residual value after completion, while gas fees deter mainstream users; Ultra's mechanism makes the network free for end users, with block producers under a delegated proof-of-stake consensus covering resource costs, and the Uniq standard turns each game copy into a tradable NFT, with publishers setting per-title whether resale is allowed and the royalty percentage, reviving a digital second-hand market.
In blockchain game distribution, Ultra's ecological position is an on-chain Steam: one client spans store, marketplace, wallet and tournaments, with UOS used for purchases, trading and staking. In practice, the catalog leans on indie and mid-tier studios, second-hand circulation depends on per-title publisher authorization, and the share of resellable games is limited; the team has stated that gaming alone can no longer carry growth, catalog expansion is paused, the Uniq Marketplace has gone inactive, and resources shift toward core infrastructure.
On September 23, 2026, Ultra announced it was ending its original games-distribution plan, acknowledging that its goal of bringing blockchain gaming to the mainstream had not been achieved, and introduced Ultra Stack to sell its technology stack to enterprises in modular form. UOS remains the protocol-level resource of Ultra Mainnet and UltraEVM, used for transaction priority, on-chain storage and contract deployment.
Coinmetro delisted UOS in April 2026 and Bitfinex followed in June, with withdrawals closing on August 31. A July blog post from Ultra confirmed the pivot toward being "the easiest place to build onchain" and acknowledged that the Ubisoft partnership was paused and the AMD partnership had not been activated.
Future strategy and roadmap: Connect multiple layer-1 networks through Ultrachain, deploy networks, EVM sidechains or applications according to client needs, and use UltraDAO to allocate ecosystem funds and governance.
