It's actually an investment company that wants to make online gaming more fair for players by funding early-stage gaming startups that incorporate blockchain technology in the nascent blockchain gaming industry.
The idea, said Craig Russo, the company's director of innovation, is to broaden the appeal and growth of online gaming by giving players tools that allow them to keep those purchases or migrate them for use in other games without having to buy them again.
Polyient Games is an early adopter in the gaming investment blockchain marketplace.
The blockchain capabilities can involve any kind of online game, he said, from card-based games such as Gods Unchained, to interactive battle games like Axie Infinity, which is backed by blockchain technologies.
"Blockchain is one of the most promising technologies for the entire gaming industry. It opens up the economic model for gaming to allow gamers to make the most of their time spent gaming."
