Japanese gaming giant Konami has announced that its non-fungible token (NFT) platform, Resella, will utilize the Avalanche blockchain to enhance efficiency and offer lower costs for users. Konami’s digital arm, Konami Digital Entertainment, revealed this strategic partnership, aiming to provide developers with seamless tools to design, issue, and trade NFTs within their applications while offering users an improved marketplace experience.
Powering Resella with Avalanche
Konami stated that Resella will be powered by the Avalanche Subnet and supported by Ava Labs’ AvaCloud Web3 launchpad service. This integration is intended to “provide unparalleled efficiency with zero gas costs for users and consistent processing speeds.” The company believes this approach will pave the way for novel social experiences within the Web3 ecosystem, enabling seamless integration across diverse services to enhance user engagement.
“Resella paves the way for novel social experiences within the Web3 ecosystem, envisioning seamless integration across diverse services to enhance user engagement,” Konami said.
The company further elaborated that NFTs originating from gaming environments can now transcend their virtual boundaries to serve as event tickets or unlock exclusive in-game content, enriching the overall user experience.
Konami’s Web3 Expansion
Konami, renowned for global franchises such as eFootball, Metal Gear, and Silent Hill, announced the Resella platform last year as part of its foray into the Web3 space. By leveraging the Avalanche blockchain, the company aims to provide developers and users with a more efficient and cost-effective platform for creating, issuing, and trading NFTs.
This strategic partnership with Avalanche reflects Konami’s commitment to exploring new avenues in the digital asset ecosystem as the company looks to capitalize on the growing interest and adoption of blockchain technology within the gaming industry.
