With over 4 million players already trying out their WatBird game on Telegram, GAMEE is ready to take things to the next level with a recent investment from TON Ventures (the amount is undisclosed).
Originally created by Telegram, the TON blockchain is designed for fast, scalable, and efficient decentralized applications (dApps). TON Ventures invests in early-stage startups that leverage the unique features of the TON ecosystem, such as high throughput, low transaction fees, and decentralized storage.
With this investment, GAMEE plans to enhance its platform’s offerings by leveraging the scalability and efficiency of the TON blockchain. The collaboration will allow GAMEE to build on TON’s infrastructure, which is known for its high throughput and low transaction fees. This integration is expected to significantly improve the gaming experience for users, particularly in the areas of gameplay speed and cost-effectiveness.
GAMEE also plans to integrate TON-based digital assets, such as TON-powered tokens and NFTs, into their Telegram apps.
GAMEE, which operates under the Animoca Brands ecosystem, utilizes its native token, GMEE, as the primary currency for transactions and rewards within its gaming environment. The partnership with TON Ventures will also involve exploring new use cases for GMEE tokens within the TON blockchain, expanding the token’s utility and providing players with more ways to earn and spend their rewards.
As part of the deal, TON Ventures and GAMEE will collaborate to create blockchain-based gaming experiences that tap into TON’s unique features. This includes decentralized storage, seamless integration with messaging platforms like Telegram, and enhanced user experience through the use of smart contracts.
The investment is part of TON Ventures’ broader strategy to support innovative projects within the TON ecosystem and accelerate the adoption of blockchain technology across various sectors, including gaming. For GAMEE, this partnership is expected to strengthen its position in the blockchain gaming industry and provide a foundation for future growth.
