I like the fact that DMarket is on intersection of five growing trends in the game industry: advanced social games, trade in virtual assets, fashion, cybersport and blockchain. This startup has excellent inclinations to become the leader of the industry. DMarket for this purpose has everything – the management corresponding to calls, the ideas and resources, – and it is very pleasant to me to help such talented head as Vlad, – the board member of DMarket Trip Hawkins notes. |
Players are not true owners of virtual goods for which they pay real money. DMarket allows the developers of games opened to innovations to change it. Trade in digital assets using the distributed register which is used by DMarket technology just and provides the real property right to virtual goods, – Daniil Stolyarov, the partner of Almaz Capital specifies. |
