Draper-backed SuperWorld Launches $SPWR Token with Republic to Build the Economic Layer of Real-World Locations (RWL) on Coinbase’s Base Network

Turn Any Location Into Your Revenue Stream: Platform Merges Physical Places with Digital Ownership

San Francisco, CA, Sept. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SuperWorld, the Draper-backed platform transforming real-world locations into a new layer of digital ownership and commerce, today announced the launch of its native utility token, $SPWR, on Coinbase’s Base network in partnership with Republic, a leading global investment and crowdfunding platform. The $SPWR community round is officially live at Republic.com/superworld, giving early supporters exclusive access for a limited time on a first-come, first-served basis (U.S. investors subject to Reg D provisions).

The launch of $SPWR represents a milestone in SuperWorld’s mission to build the economic layer of the real world. The platform allows anyone to personalize real-world locations with content, recommendations, events, and bookings, while monetizing activity at places they care about. Every plot of virtual real estate in SuperWorld is a digital asset tied to real-world geography, enabling users to buy, sell, and generate revenue from interactions on their land.

By combining virtual real estate, real-world assets (RWA), decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN), and immersive technologies, SuperWorld had created an entirely new category: RWL (Real World Location) empowering individuals, creators, and organizations to benefit financially from digital and physical activity at any location worldwide.

SuperWorld has already demonstrated significant market validation:

• $5.2 million in virtual real estate sales generated
• 23,000+ virtual plots sold across global locations
• 200,000+ community members with paying users averaging $1,500 in platform engagement
• 10 million bookable venues integrated (hotels, restaurants, experiences)
• 250,000 live events through partnerships, including Sports Illustrated Tickets
• 125,000+ pieces of user-generated content uploaded

Built on Coinbase's Base network, the $SPWR token serves as the backbone of SuperWorld's ecosystem, functioning as a rewards and payments system while enabling governance participation. Users can earn tokens through referrals, check-ins, and content creation, then stake them to unlock premium features and advanced monetization tools. The token incorporates deflationary mechanics tied to transaction fees and land sales, creating scarcity that drives long-term value for the community.

“SuperWorld is creating a map of the world where every location becomes a creative canvas and a monetizable layer,” said Hrish Lotlikar, Co-Founder & CEO of SuperWorld. “The launch of the $SPWR token with Republic is a major milestone in empowering users to share in the value they help create, bridging the digital and physical economies.”

SuperWorld is backed by a broad network of premier institutional and angel investors. Notable venture funds include (Tim Draper) Draper Goren Holm, MoonPursuit Capital, Orbit Startups, Outlier Ventures, SOSV, Cadenza, RedBeard Ventures, Altered Ventures, AiSprouts, Gaingels, Acacia Digital Holdings, 186 Ventures, White Paper Capital, Groundbreak Ventures, Machina Ventures, Capital Factory, Verso Capital, and Predictive Capital.

Influential advisors and angel investors include Dr. Bob Metcalfe (Inventor of Ethernet, Metcalfe’s Law, Turing Award winner), Larry Fitzgerald (NFL legend, Phoenix Suns owner), Stephen Wolfram (Creator of Mathematica & Wolfram Alpha), Michael Terpin (Transform Ventures), Sebastien Borget (Co-Founder, Sandbox), Ben Goertzel (Founder, SingularityNET), Tony Parisi (Immersive Tech Pioneer, ex-Unity), Richard Ling (Rembrandt Ventures), Nitin Gaur (IBM Digital Asset Labs), Rajesh Mahtani (Head of BD & Media Strategy, Publicis Groupe), Jimmy Ku (10X Capital), Adam Stern (SternAegis Ventures), Bas Godska (Acrobator Ventures) and Marcus Luer (Total Sports Asia).

SuperWorld’s roadmap includes the recent launch of its mobile app on iOS and Android, upcoming premium virtual real estate features, physical and digital check-ins, and expanded creator monetization tools. Longer-term plans include marketplace currency, influencer-led governance, and premium user-owned “Worlds.”

Beyond technology, SuperWorld is committed to using its platform for positive social impact. Past initiatives include AMAZONIA, a geo-pinned exhibition supporting indigenous communities in Brazil, and Disaster Fighters, a collaboration with the World Bank and the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA) that leverages Web3 to fund hurricane preparedness.

“At SuperWorld, we believe in building technology that benefits people, places, and the planet,” added Lotlikar. “The $SPWR token allows us to extend that vision by creating a decentralized economic layer where users and organizations can earn from real-world activity, while also driving culture, commerce, and social impact worldwide.”

With the $SPWR token launch, SuperWorld is positioning itself at the intersection of Web3, AI, and real-world commerce, creating new ways for people everywhere to own, engage with, and benefit from the world around them.
