Gamers will have more chances to ‘play-to-earn’.
AD Gaming has signed a partnership agreement with ATTARIUS Network, a local crypto and blockchain company.
In a major boost to the capital’s burgeoning gaming sector, the agreement will see ATTARIUS help game developers in the emirate build their games on the blockchain, create game tokens and NFTs (non-fungible tokens), provide a launchpad for game developers to launch their game projects, and subsequently manage the blockchain ecosystem.
The move will also allow gamers to monetise their gaming efforts through ‘play-to-earn’ options through the in-game exchange of NFTs or the completion of objectives in exchange for cryptocurrencies or tokenised in-game resources.
Director of Strategic Initiatives and Business Development at AD Gaming, James Hartt, said: “Play to earn gaming based on blockchain technology is a major trend within the industry and has seen a significant amount of funding across the globe.
“As a world-leading destination for gaming businesses of all sizes, we are proud to offer a comprehensive ecosystem that allows game developers and publishers to capitalise on both the traditional and innovative segments of the gaming sector.”
AD Gaming is a collaborative initiative that brings Abu Dhabi’s gaming sector under one roof.
The initiative is currently supported by twofour54, Unity Technologies, Flash Entertainment, UAE Pro League, Emirates Esports Association, the Media Zone Authority, and ATTARIUS Network.
