Decentralized technology finds a home in Esports 

It’s been a long-standing idea in the crypto space that gaming will be a breakthrough medium to introduce blockchain technology to a wider audience. 

Other gaming platforms are utilizing blockchain and crypto-based innovations to bring their platforms into the emerging tech age. DApp platform Polygon recently created Polygon Studio  – an entire new division focused on gaming and NFTs. The new division seeks bring together Web 2 and Web 3 gaming. 

At the moment a large portion of blockchain-based gaming occurs on the Ethereum blockchain. However, EOS and TRON  have a small but growing gaming community as well. Most notably on the Ethereum blockchain is CryptoKitties, which is one of the first games to utilize the technology. 

As esports continues to grow in popularity and gaming-focused platforms incorporate blockchain, it’s only a matter of time before these two worlds are inextricably linked.
