With Solana’s low gas fees and faster speed of transactions, it has soared to become one of the top cryptocurrency exchanges worldwide. In addition to this, Justin Kan, Twitch co-founder, visualizes Solana as the future of the blockchain gaming industry. He is therefore launching an NFT marketplace that will be based on the Solana network.

Fractal will primarily act as a marketplace where gaming companies can drop new in-game assets for players and fans. Secondarily, it will enable users to sell, trade and swap their NFTs. The transparency and security of the Solana network will power Fractal’s aim to incorporate web3 gaming with non-fungible assets. This will be the first NFT marketplace that will focus on the gaming industry, in-game items and more. It also aims to create a new use case for NFT in online gaming.

Fractal is also backed by other crypto industry veterans, including Robin Chan, head of business development, founder of XPD Media and the game development of Zynga; Mike Angell, chief technology officer, an e-commerce veteran of two decades who has been to Fast and Shopify; and David Wurtz, chief product officer, co-founder of GDrive and an adviser on Shopify. With these respectable names in the crypto and e-commerce industry, Fractal has been gaining a lot of support from big investors.

As play-to-earn games continue to rise on top of the DeFi and NFT industries, many developers see the gaming industry as a new way to attract and invite more adoption for blockchain-based games. This will also give room for more creative game developers. But most of all, this will benefit Solana, one of the rising blockchain networks in the world.
