Korea Mobile Game Association (KMGA, Chairman Hwang Sung-ik) and Korea Blockchain Contents Association (KBCCA) made an announcement that they signed a business agreement with Enjin, which is a blockchain game development platform and provides a cryptocurrency called Enjin Coin (ENJ).
Enjin is a global online game community platform established in 2009. Currently, 20 million gamers are taking part of 290,000 communities that are operated through Enjin’s game community solution. It launched a blockchain project and a cryptocurrency called ENJ that guarantees values of digital assets.
KMGA and KBCCA are planning to invigorate South Korea’s blockchain industry by encouraging South Korean mobile game companies to use Enjin Coin’s platform, expanding use of Enjin Coin’s platform towards blockchain project platforms, securing customers who use Enjin Coin’s platform, and holding events for development of blockchain games.
Meanwhile, Enjin introduced an order-type blockchain item making service called Mint Shop that allows anyone to make their own blockchain assets (items) just by having a digital image or a picture even if they do not know much about blockchain. Mint is a function that applies Enjin Coin whenever an item is in making and guarantees values of a corresponding item.
