TRON, one of the leading cryptocurrency projects by market cap with a valuation of over $6B, has partnered with Decentral Games to unlock GameFi’s potential to help more ordinary people as it currently has in many regions worldwide.

“I believe that the partnership with Decentral Games will unlock more potential for GameFi,” said TRON CEO and Founder Justin Sun. “It’s fascinating to see how GameFi facilitates a player-owned economy with ownership transfer and additional revenue generation. That has already benefited many ordinary people, especially in South Asia.”

TRON’s investment in $DG represents a strong endorsement of Decentral Games’ cutting-edge play-to-earn innovations. It also follows several high-profile partnerships and collaborations with Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, Theta, Grayscale, Decentraland, and Hashkey, among several others.

TRON launched a $300-million investment pool together with APENFT in August dedicated to advancing GameFi related technology, a space in which Decentral Games has become a prominent player. “GameFi is going to be the next big thing that makes the DeFi, NFT, and larger crypto space easy to understand and be involved in,” Sun said recently.

“The Decentral Games and TRON teams share the belief that play-to-earn will play an outsized role in shaping the broader gaming sector and the future of entertainment and work,” Decentral Games CEO and Founder Miles Anthony said.

“We are excited to work with TRON to accelerate the adoption of NFT and EV-positive gaming technologies for the long-term,” Mr. Anthony added.

GameFi has taken the blockchain game industry by storm as it combines decentralized finance (DeFi), bringing new dimensions to crypto games. For example, players may use and delegate assets to generate yield.

Decentral Games recently launched ICE Poker, an unrivaled play-to-earn (P2E) ecosystem that financially rewards users for their participation. DG’s gameplay mode boosts daily and monthly recurring players on the $DG platform and creates an EV-positive (expected value positive) environment for all players.

As a result of DG’s P2E success, a growing, loyal community of players have collectively provided the project with a formidable moat and dependable cash flows to the platform’s DAO. Year to date, the DG DAO treasury’s total assets have increased exponentially from $500,000 to over $12 million.
