Enthusiast Gaming has entered into a partnership with crypto exchange Coinbase to power its Web3-enabled games.

‎‎‏‏‎ ‎

Through the partnership, Coinbase will provide crypto wallets, blockchain nodes, fiat-to-crypto payment rails, and other tools via the Coinbase Cloud developer platform.

‎‎‏‏‎ ‎

Enthusiast Gaming will use these tools to develop EV.IO, a browser-based, first-person shooter game that enables players to earn cryptocurrency as rewards for in-game achievements.

‎‎‏‏‎ ‎

“Coinbase is the perfect technology partner and is an expert at onboarding users to a Web3 experience,” said Bill Karamouzis, President of Enthusiast Gaming. “I am excited to see the potential value-enhancing features for our users that our work with Coinbase can bring. Among these value-enhancing features is the already integrated Coinbase Wallet. This self-custody wallet option allows users to easily send, receive, and manage the cryptocurrency they earn from EV.IO.”

‎‎‏‏‎ ‎

Enthusiast Gaming earned $51.1 million in revenue in Q2 2022. During this period, it partnered with gaming NFT marketplace Fractal, resulting in over 3,500 NFTs being minted by the company and integrated into EV.IO.
