Web3 Verification Method Proof of Exposure Gains Global Attention
In August, we introduced Proof of Exposure, a new way of verifying human accounts while measuring the potential of community members’ contributions to Confiction Labs’ FICT ONE ecosystem, Occultical. This measurement would determine an applicant’s Clearance Level, which would unlock several perks tied to Confiction Labs’ projects, such as Riftstorm. This new verification method serves several purposes. Community members with high clearance scores would become a part of the allowlist for the XPSR-24 NFT collection. This ensures that the initial holders of XPSR-24 would be individuals who have the skills, knowledge, and influence to spearhead the growth of the Occultical universe and Confiction Labs’ vision for Collaborative Entertainment. Additionally, Proof of Exposure enables genuine community members to reap the benefits of supporting Confiction Labs. The verification prevents bots from overtaking the allowlist application, which has been a common challenge among web3 gaming and NFT projects.

Confiction Labs Creative Director Fandry Indrayadi was invited as a guest alongside Psychedelic Games’ Maso Rich and Ginger Joy Games’ Ibrahim Over in the GAM3S.GG: Press Play podcast episode called “Power to the Players.” The group discussed the power of Collaborative Entertainment in giving players the ability to influence the games they love through their actions and UGC. Fandry also spoke about how Confiction Labs is applying Collaborative Entertainment in Riftstorm and how they’re enabling players to contribute their ideas to the game.
“What makes web3 gaming different is that it brings fans and players into the development process. Now ideas have validation from players from the very beginning.”

News of Proof of Exposure’s launch and impact has been noticed around the world across different communities. Here are some more write-ups about Proof of Exposure:
While Fandry was on the GAM3S.GG Press Play podcast, Confiction Labs’ CEO Arief Widhiyasa was simultaneously deep in conversation with prominent web3 figure and investor JBond on the weekly X Space, “Cooking with BondCake.” A leader of the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) community and member of the BAYC Council, JBond has over 60,000 followers on X and is one of the earliest supporters of Confiction’s Collaborative Entertainment vision, being a FICT ZERO NFT holder.
During the Spaces session, Arief discussed the upcoming launch of the XPSR-24 NFT. He also talked about his past in the web2 game industry, how the team formulated Collaborative Entertainment, building Riftstorm, and teased some upcoming events. Over 3,600 tuned in to listen to the discussion.
“Occultical is the first IP we’ve created where we can show how Collaborative Entertainment works. Every IP starts with one project, and being a developer, it made sense for us to start with a game.”
– Arief Widhiyasa
