TOKYO and GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands, May 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Crypto and Dragons and Worldwide Asset eXchange™(WAX) today announced that the company's Crypto Collectibles™ will be available on OPSkins™, the world's leading marketplace for online video game assets, and will be tradable with WAX Tokens, Bitcoin, ETH, US dollars, Euros and dozens of other currencies.
Crypto and Dragons is a decentralized application (DApp) built on the Ethereum blockchain. Gameplay revolves around collecting, training and battling monsters against other players. These monsters, which can be bought and sold in the marketplace, are solely owned by the user and therefore cannot be replicated, taken away, or destroyed.
"People expect decentralized games to have rich content, but players also want to profit from decentralized games as well. We believe decentralized games should be profitable, efficient, and most of all, fun," said Hiroki Ikeda, Founder and Core Developer of Crypto and Dragons. "At Crypto and Dragons we focus on three main ideas: providing fun and balanced game mechanics, an efficient use of the players time (ie: no time-consuming leveling up) and maintaining the value of player's game assets."
"The inception of blockchain-based games and collectibles presents a new opportunity for the crypto community to get involved, and game developers are taking notice," said Malcolm CasSelle, CIO of OPSkins and President of WAX. "As the popularity of blockchain games and Crypto Collectibles grows, so does the need for a trustworthy marketplace, which is where WAX and OPSkins come in. Integrating Crypto and Dragons to that ecosystem is an exciting move for us and for the blockchain-based gaming community as a whole."
With the integration of Crypto and Dragons' in-game assets onto the OPSkins platform, WAX Tokens gain additional utility and more players are incentivized to join the ecosystem.
OPSkins is rapidly becoming the go-to marketplace to trade Crypto Collectibles, also known as non-fungible tokens or NFTs. Crypto and Dragons is the latest game based on NFTs to be added to OPSkins and whose in-game virtual assets are tradable with WAX Tokens. The first NFT was CryptoKitties in December 2017, and there are more to come. OPSkins boasts over two million weekly transactions on its platform, has millions of active customers, adds 200,000 new users each month and offers over five million items available for purchase using WAX. WAX allows anyone to create a virtual goods marketplace, onboarding millions of gamers to the growing cryptocurrency space.
