A New Era of Digital Commerce for Gamers

Tilted, the AI platform transforming live game worlds into structured spatial data, has announced a partnership with Merso, the world’s first AI-powered lending infrastructure purpose-built for the digital economy. Together, they aim to make high-value digital assets and in-game experiences more accessible through AI-driven BNPL (Buy Now, Pay Later) technology — bridging the gap between gameplay, ownership, and affordability.

While Tilted captures and tokenizes live gameplay data through their Streaming Marketplace and Tag & Earn ecosystem, Merso is revolutionizing how digital transactions happen inside that world. Their asset-centric lending model allows players to purchase game assets, NFTs, and AI agents instantly, paying over time with zero friction.

This partnership creates a foundation where AI meets fintech, enabling millions of gamers and studios to experience real-time, on-chain payments that are smart, compliant, and user-friendly.

Merso: The Financial Backbone of the Digital Economy

Merso is building the financial infrastructure for Web3 creators, gamers, and studios. Backed by $3M in seed funding, Merso introduces an AI-driven lending engine designed specifically for digital commerce. With zero setup costs, effortless integration, and instant studio payouts, Merso ensures both accessibility and scalability for partners across the gaming industry.

Key Features:

• ⚡ Instant Studio Payouts: Game studios receive full payment upfront.

• 💰 Smart Player Payments: Users pay 50% upfront, then 4 weekly installments.

• 🛡 Zero Friction: No credit checks or traditional underwriting.

• ⚙️ Plug-and-Play Integration: Ready for any digital asset marketplace.

• 💸 No Fees: Zero onboarding or usage costs for partners.

Built by a team of TradFi veterans with a $1B+ company exit, Merso operates fully compliant under U.S. and EU financial standards, headquartered in Palo Alto with Web3-native leadership. With 10+ AAA games already onboard, their BNPL technology has proven to increase conversion rates by up to 40% — unlocking new revenue channels for game publishers and digital marketplaces.

Tilted: Turning Play into Intelligence

Tilted continues to redefine the intersection of gaming, AI, and creator economies. Their ecosystem powers two flagship products:

• Streaming Marketplace: A live trading layer where players buy, sell, and trade in-game assets, AI agents, and VTubers — all secured on-chain.

• Tag & Earn: A gamified browser extension where viewers tag live game moments to generate high-value training data and earn tokenized rewards.

With over 563M+ players across Steam, 100+ publishers, and 50+ top streamers, Tilted transforms live gameplay into actionable, monetizable intelligence for prediction markets and AI training systems.

Building the Future of AI-Driven Game Commerce

The collaboration between Tilted and Merso bridges two emerging sectors: AI-powered game intelligence and Web3 financial infrastructure. Together, they’ll enable game studios to integrate frictionless BNPL options directly into Tilted’s ecosystem, turning every tagged clip, asset, or AI agent into a purchasable, accessible experience.

For Tilted’s players and creators, this means more ways to own, earn, and interact. For Merso, it’s the opportunity to anchor BNPL into one of the fastest-growing AI ecosystems in gaming.

Both companies share a mission — to make digital economies smarter, fairer, and more open. As Tilted continues building the rails for AI creator economies, and Merso pioneers decentralized lending, this partnership represents the next evolution of digital play, powered by intelligence and inclusion.
