Company mission
Stardust's mission is to power the metaverse by enabling game developers to build on blockchain via effortless back-end solutions.
Our take
Stardust offers game developers a software platform that makes it easier to create NFT-enabled games without deep knowledge of Blockchain technology,.
Play-to-earn NFT gaming is going through a remarkable surge in growth at the moment, seeing a 2000% rise in users in early 2022. Indeed, the market is forecast to be worth at least $3 billion by 2030.
By offering game-building infrastructure rather than designing its own games, Stardust looks in a great position to capitalize. It’s not alone however, with the likes of Forte and Enjin already extremely well-funded.
Stardust can be satisfied with its growth thus far as well as its future prospects. The company has made a number of key hires in its executive and advisory team as it looks to accelerate, including COO Atif Khan from Global Gaming at Facebook.
