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.
Although the market has its share of heavyweights, ZXEBEDEE stands apart from competitors like Magic Eden, which focuses on NFT marketplaces with integrated gaming and blockchain features. ZEBEDEE, on the other hand, is built from the ground up as gaming software and has already garnered significant backing from industry giant Square Enix. With such strong support and a clear vision, the future looks bright for ZEBEDEE.
