Building the Next Global Character Universe
From Screen to Forest — A 50-Year Vision
ZaroVerse is an emerging global entertainment company built around original characters, immersive stories, and real-world destinations.
"To build a character universe and destination brand that can stand beside the world's most loved entertainment franchises – with cleaner foundations, smarter capital efficiency, and a nature-first approach to physical parks."
ZaroVerse is now inviting investors, strategic partners, and government agencies to join us as we scale this universe from its first prototypes into a global footprint.
Watch Our Vision
See how we're building the future of character-led, nature-first entertainment destinations.
100 Years vs 10 Years
The pioneers of character-driven storytelling took a century because they had to invent their tools as they went - from hand-drawn frames to feature films to animatronics and parks.
We're starting in an era where:
A story can be written in Dubai, animated in Seoul, scored in Los Angeles, and launched globally in one week.
A character can live simultaneously in games, parks, social feeds, and physical products.
Fans can organize, create, vote, and contribute from every corner of the planet.
"In the 20th century, it took decades for a character studio to grow into a global universe of films, parks, and products. With today's technology, vision, persistence, courage, and entrepreneurship, we believe we can run at 10x the speed - on a 10-year horizon."
Not to copy their path. To walk our own.
The ZaroVerse Ecosystem
Studios • Parks • Retail • Coins
The ZaroVerse Investment Thesis
We believe the next generation of global entertainment brands will be born digitally, expanded physically, multi-format by design, and values-driven.
Characters discovered on screens, then experienced in real places. Stories that travel across series, games, merchandise, and destinations.
A character universe designed to work across animation, interactive experiences, consumer products, and immersive destinations.
Families and governments want brands that are safe, positive, and aligned with nature and community. ZaroVerse delivers exactly that.
Built for decades, not quarters. A modular, eco-conscious destination blueprint exportable to multiple countries.
The Four Pillars
ZaroVerse is structured around four synergistic business lines that create a self-reinforcing ecosystem.
ZaroVerse Studios
Stories for a connected planet. Animation, music, and content across all platforms.
ZaroLand
Eco-adventure parks grown from nature. Less fireworks, more fireflies.
ZaroShop
Premium retail and lifestyle. Plush, apparel, and collectibles worldwide.
Zaro Coins
$ZARO and $ZLAND - the digital thread connecting all experiences. One Ethereum community coin ($ZARO) and one parks-and-resorts loyalty token ($ZLAND) – nothing more complicated.
Clean Token Design
- • Only two on-chain instruments: $ZARO Coin (community & rewards) and $ZLAND (parks)
- • No presales, no yield promises, no governance rights
- • "ZARO Points" is simply how we brand $ZARO Coin rewards in the ZaroShop experience – it is not a separate token
- • Designed as cultural and experiential infrastructure, not financial products
The Financial Flywheel
The ZaroVerse ecosystem is designed to become a self-reinforcing financial engine where each component amplifies the others.
Character IP
Content
Merch & Fashion
Parks
Hospitality
Toys & Licensing
Loyalty ($ZARO + $ZLAND)
Stores & Pop-Ups
Luxury Collabs
Our Product Lines
ZaroVerse is structured around several synergistic product lines. Each can stand alone, but together they create a powerful flywheel.
Character & Story IP
ZARO, ARC-7, and a growing cast with culturally neutral yet emotionally rich appeal. Highly recognizable and adaptable.
Content & Media
Animated series, shorts, podcasts, and visual stories. Co-productions with studios and platforms worldwide.
Games & Interactive
MemeWars, Portal Pop, and casual titles. Fun-first gameplay that deepens time spent with the IP.
Consumer Products
Plush toys, apparel, stationery, and home décor. Regional licensing with global household presence.
ZaroLand Destinations
Forest-based nature-adventure parks. Lower CAPEX, faster timelines, strong eco-tourism narrative.
Value Drivers
ZaroVerse valuation is built on a Sum-of-the-Parts methodology with multiple independent value components.
ZaroLand Park Operations
Attendance, hospitality revenue, merchandise multipliers, safety margins
IP & Media Rights
Character IP comparable to early-stage major mascots (Hello Kitty, Minions origins)
Strategic Land Bank
Village land assembly with significant projected uplift from controlled district development
Dual Loyalty Pipeline
$ZARO Coin rewards at ZaroShop (Ethereum) + $ZLAND parks & resorts loyalty token (BNB Chain) – a dual-channel, non-financial rewards system connecting retail and destinations
Synergy Effects
Parks × Merch × Media × Games × Loyalty creating compounding value
Detailed valuation models, financial projections, and comparable analysis available under NDA.
