Indonesia gaming platform snaps up funding from blockchain project Tron

Indonesia-based gaming platform PlayGame has secured an undisclosed investment from decentralized blockchain-powered protocol Tron Foundation.

The newly acquired funding will allow PlayGame to fast-track its “proof of play” and launch its crypto payment gateway. It also plans to expand its platform to Japan, Korea, China, and Southeast Asia.

Established in June 2018, PlayGame wants to “overcome the hurdles standing in the way of game developers,” such as “lack of transparency, piracy issues, inefficient payment calculation, and distribution.”

The platform enables game publishers, developers, crypto-enthusiasts, and gaming communities to monetize the use of cryptocurrencies without affecting revenue.
