Banger Games raises €10 million to become the first blockchain gaming hub.
Banger Games aims to provide gamers a holistic experience amidst the industry’s growth.
Players will be rewarded with NFTs and more.
Startup company, Banger Games, has raised €10 million to become the first gaming hub that will provide players a more holistic gaming experience, regardless of the game, publisher, or platform.

Banger Games is looking to establish a single shared currency and economy for gamers that exempt them from the restrictions prevalent in today’s gaming industry. This project will veer away from profit-oriented, micro-transaction dominant, and less exciting platforms. In this project, players will be free to challenge and enjoy themselves by competing, earning, trading, and more.

When asked about what the current market lacks, Banger Games CEO, Borja Villalobos, said:

As the industry has exploded in different directions, we are certain that gamers feel more disconnected than ever. Banger is the platform aimed at unifying this ever-increasing ecosystem into one central point in the gaming universe.
Villalobos pointed out that while the crypto industry continues to branch towards the metaverse, virtual reality (VR), Indie Publishers, and Play-to-Earn games, it is important to keep users engaged.

Since its launch, Ethereum has been the favorite for developers because of its combination of features, which serves as a base layer for the creation of smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps).

The utility of the Ethereum blockchain has seen developers create over 3,000 dApps and 530 DeFi protocols. Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, believes that as Ethereum’s adoption increases, the project could become a world computer.
