The NFT market intends to maintain the pace by leading innovative Web3 gaming tactics, hiring executives, growing its staff, and making advances in the industry. Blockchain games are doing remarkably well in spite of the market’s apprehension and ambiguity.
According to the official release, Magic Eden launched its Polygon entrance with a new launchpad and marketplace, both of which will be live this month. It should come as no surprise that Magic Eden is attempting to grow its business and pique the interest of multi-chain communities through usefulness, fresh initiatives, and more.
New games, awards, and a thriving community are all things the new executive is anxious to introduce to gaming communities. To dramatically increase game studios’ exposure, income, and accessibility in the Web3 markets, Akhavan has intended to create products that connect game developers with players.
Why Akhavan is enthusiastic about integrating traditional gaming with Web3 is clear from the current market sentiment in the blockchain gaming industry. He wants to change the economies of the current games to include asset ownership. Akhavan’s experience in Web3 and Web2 gaming will play a crucial role for Magic Eden as it intends to integrate game developers and gamers into its ecosystem.
