As a gaming platform, multiple games can be built on the Enjin blockchain and make them interoperable with each other. This means an in-game asset in one game can be used in another game. In this way, players have โ€œtrue item ownershipโ€ wherein they can do what they want with the in-game items they bought – buy it, sell it, use it in one game, and use it in another one.

ENJโ€™s main goal is to become the crypto of choice across different NFT games and games with virtual items. This is made possible when the NFT when minted is backed by ENJ or when the game is one of the games within the Enjin metaverse.

  • Mint unique in-game assets called NFTs with ENJ. This items can be converted back to ENJ if the player wishes.

It supports cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ether, as well as ERC20, ERC721, and ERC1155 Tokens. The ENJ wallet allows the user to interact directly with the EnjinX Marketplace.

Why are games utilizing the ENJ blockchain?

This is more to escape Ethereumโ€™s transaction fees and lags. Especially in online games where speed is necessary, it will be difficult to sell a game when the game lags, more so if the player has to pay huge transaction fees.

Users buy ENJ on a platform other than the ENJ wallet primarily to take advantage of liquidity, especially on order book exchanges. After buying ENJ, the crypto holder who is also a player (hence a participant in the Enjin ecosystem) transfers it to the ENJ wallet since it is recommended to interact with the Enjin blockchain using the ENJ wallet. Others are speculating on the future value of ENJ

Things to Consider about ENJ
