FTX.US, the American arm of the global crypto derivative and spot exchange FTX, seems to be launching a new blockchain gaming unit.
As per a job posting, the firm is looking for software developers for its upcoming blockchain and gaming unit. The new gaming unit will be focused on bringing more gaming developers to the blockchain-based gaming ecosystem that incentivizes players via crypto tokens and NFTs.
It was revealed that the exchange is looking for software engineers with a robust knowledge of the C# programming language and the Unity gaming engine. The new platform would be catered as “crypto-as-a-service” that would allow game developers to integrate N and crypto token support.
Last year FTX announced a $100 million GameFi ecosystem fund in partnership with Solana Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners. The GameFi ecosystem has become one of the key breakout use cases from the crypto industry in 2021 with major tech giants investing heavily in the evolving P2E gaming ecosystem.
