Our take
Proof of Play acts as both a game studio and a blockchain technology company, delivering the tools to build fully on-chain games. Through its suite of tools, it is possible to create decentralized titles in which players own their characters and assets, with an important emphasis on simplifying access so that gamers less versed in the blockchain can still get involved.
Blockchain games are a relatively new idea, and the direction of the market is yet to be established, which should give Proof of Play the opportunity to set its own standards. The first game built through the platform, Pirate Nation, has had a tentatively positive reception, which is promising for a first title.
Bringing together a team of gaming veterans from the likes of Riot Games, EA, and ActiVision, as well as early blockchain adopters, Proof of Play has a solid foundation from which to navigate the developing space. It has raised substantial funds that will be invested in company growth, as well as the further scaling of its technology.
