This lack of flexibility limits users’ ability to personalize or adapt their collectibles over time.

Wearables are a specific function or extension of the Swappables Engine, focused on visual elements that need to adapt and blend depending on the asset they are rendered on—such as clothing and accessories. While under the hood, wearables function similarly to other non-wearable items within the Swappables Engine, the key difference lies in their visual adaptability. For example, a jacket designed as a wearable can be rendered to fit any character, whether it’s a TNL fighter, a party bear, or a goblin, ensuring an interoperable solution. This adaptability is achieved through focused R&D, ensuring the wearables are fit for purpose and scalable for current and future products.
