Focus on Gaming?

The new version of 0x will be supporting non-fungible tokens (ERC-721 standard) which is a major use case for gaming. 0x is prioritizing the gaming use case for now as it could be a good use case for the Blockchain technology and could pave the way for the long-term vision of tokenizing the world.

A new game called ‘Gods Unchained’ announced that they will be building their player marketplace using 0x protocol which means that the users will be able to exchange NFT’s such as cards via 0x protocol eliminating the need for a central exchange.
