Our take
Over the last few years, gaming and cryptocurrency have become more closely linked, and Zebedee wants to lead the market in providing seamless crypto payment integration within games.
It offers instant, in-game, playable transactions with bitcoin and provides both tools for developers and an app for gamers, which acts as your wallet and allows for transactions between different games and players.
While the market in which it operates does have other major players, its main competitors like Magic Eden have a different function - an NFT marketplace with integrated gaming and blockchain technology. Zebedee is first and foremost gaming software, and has earned huge support from gaming monolith Square Enix. Its future looks bright.
