Blockchain gaming platform Enjin is setting up a new fund to help grow the Metaverse ecosystem and make it more decentralized.

Enjin, the startup behind the NFT Efinity-focused blockchain, has set up a $ 100 million fund to support Efinity users as well as other related projects, according to a report. notification today.

“It’s time we made this an official, public, and explicit part of our growth strategy while supporting a free, open, and decentralized metaverse,” Enjin added.

The new fund, named Efinity Metaverse Fund, is also aimed at institutions focused on cross-chain integration with the Enjin ecosystem, as well as NFT projects working together on Efinity and Polkadot. The fund will also support “all platform” gaming projects as well as other areas related to Metaverse, NFT and Efinity’s core infrastructure.

Earlier this year, Enjin raised $ 18.9 million in funding from investors, including major crypto exchange Crypto.com, to launch Efinity, the Polkadot-based blockchain for the NFT industry. EFI, Efinity’s native cryptocurrency, was launched in August 2021 after a $ 20 million token sale in July.

Enjin’s latest move on Metaverse comes amid a growing hype surrounding the Metaverse concept that was further fueled after social media giant Facebook officially changed its company name to Meta. The term metaverse is used to describe a combination of technologies that create a 3D virtual reality characterized by activities such as online gaming and chatting.

The price of the native Enjin token is up more than 10% at press time and is trading at $ 3.07 with a trading volume of $ 1.15 billion.
