Non-fungible token (NFT) protocol Enjin has announced the launch of a new mainnet called "Enjin Blockchain" aimed at promoting the adoption of Web3. Following this transition, its Polkadot parachain Efinity has also been forked to the new blockchain. In an announcement sent to Cointelegraph, the Enjin team emphasized that Enjin Blockchain will be different from other blockchain solutions that rely on smart contracts. According to Enjin, features such as creating and transferring NFTs will be integrated into the blockchain's base code.
In addition, the blockchain also provides new features, including "fuel tanks" that allow developers to subsidize user transaction fees, and "discrete accounts" that allow users to interact with their blockchain projects without downloading specific wallet software. Enjin co-founder and CTO Witek Radomski said that the launch of Enjin Blockchain is aimed at supporting creativity by making it easier and more economical for anyone to make and distribute NFTs.
Enjin’s CFO Oscar Franklin Tan also said that NFTs and digital ownership will become the cornerstone of what he described as the “next wave of gaming,” which will be driven by the development of artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and virtual reality. As such, Enjin aims to support this new “content explosion.”
