Jeff Zirlin: “blockchain gaming is the key to crypto adoption”

According to the co-founder of the game Axie Infinity Jeff Zirlin, it is the games on the blockchain that can spur the adoption of cryptocurrencies.

Now Axie Infinity is the leader among blockchain games – more than 1 million users play it. However, developers continue to look for ways to develop. During the Messari Mainnet conference Jeff Zirlin
toldthat at the moment the game is over “maybe 6%.”

The developers plan to launch their own decentralized exchange for exchanging NFT and tokens, as well as update the game system. In addition, it is planned to launch a new project Axieland – a cryptocurrency analogue of the popular mobile game Clash of Clans.

In the future, the company Sky Mavis, which developed Axie Infinity, is going to transfer control of the game to the community. The community will even be able to select developers to continue working on the game. Zirlin said:

“In the long run, we would like Axie to be the first game to be owned and operated by a community of players. There are many developers out there with great ideas. But they lack a well-promoted brand and community of players. ”

Zirlin noted that now more and more projects are being launched in the field of games on the blockchain, and this is positive for the entire cryptocurrency industry. He added that it is games that can be a key factor for the adoption of cryptocurrencies around the world.

“Cryptocurrencies are still far from being fully adopted. But games can bring this moment closer, ”concluded the co-founder of Axie Infinity.

In early August, Axie Infinity NFT sales exceeded $ 1 billion, and currently exceeds $ 2 billion.
