Fresh currency Electroneum recently partnered with server company Host Havoc.
The partnership makes the world of cryptocurrencies and gaming come together. But Electroneum not just wants to inject itself into gaming, but also in everyday use.
‘Electroneum’s goal is to make sure that ETN has as many use cases as possible. Aside from gaming, the cryptocurrency can already be used to buy mobile top-ups, and add credit to electricity meters in selected countries.’
The currency had established itself as supporting the underdeveloped and unbanked countries, sustaining them with economic stability. It wants to provide the option of cryptocurrency to users who may not have the technical skills to access Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Founded in 2013, Host Havoc provides online video game hosting to servers in different games. These include hits like Minecraft, CS; GO, and Rust. The collaboration with Electroneum will grant currency users to rent servers for 30 major games from 11 locations around the world.
This is not ETN’s first time into gaming markets. Splinterland, a game that aims to incorporate cryptocurrency into trading card gaming, has had a successful partnership with the company.
‘Electroneum is experiencing true adoption, and we are very thrilled to see ETN as a payment method in the video gaming industry, such as with Splinterlands and now Host Havoc.’
Richard Ells CEO of Electroneum and Anytask
The move is a part of a broad trend of cryptocurrencies being adopted into games. The gaming market has a total of more than 2.5B consumers and is thought to be a significant stepping stone in making crypto technologies hit the mainstream.
