Within the gaming industry, which is characterized by constant innovation, Fintech company ZBD is poised to transform the scene with its innovative Lightning Network integration in Splitgate, a well-liked first-person shooter created by 1047 Games. Through this calculated partnership, Bitcoin will be introduced to the gaming industry, providing gamers with a singular chance to earn bitcoin while enjoying their favorite game.
As December draws near and the Splitgate Winter Invitational draws near, the excitement is in the air. In addition to showcasing player skill, this 16-team gaming extravaganza will highlight ZBD’s Lightning payments feature. The winners will get an incredible 0.5 Bitcoin prize pool, or almost $19,000. The competition schedule, which runs from December 10 to December 22, offers an exciting experience for competitors as well as spectators alike.
In an effort to guarantee a faultless experience, ZBD intends to beta test the Bitcoin integration, laying the groundwork for an easy-to-use and safe competition. Players who are interested may get all the necessary information on the ZBD Discord server as the excitement grows. Registration closes just before the first round begins on December 10. Players must live in the US or Brazil, have a ZBD account, and be at least 18 years old to be eligible to play.
Ian Proulx, CEO and co-founder of 1047 Games, expressed his enthusiasm for this innovative collaboration. “Splitgate continues to have a loyal and engaged player base. We’re always excited to hear innovative solutions to reward our players, such as what ZBD has done, and the tournament that they plan to hold,” he said in a release.
Splitgate had a spike in popularity during its beta phase in 2021 after being first made available in early access in 2019. Splitgate, which has over 18 million downloads across platforms, is still available online and is free to play, even though 1047 Games moved its development emphasis to a new project in late 2022. Among the studio’s noteworthy achievements is a $100 million investment round that it completed in 2021, valuing the business at an astounding $1.5 billion.
ZBD is no new to trailblazing endeavors; it has already incorporated its Bitcoin technology, which is based on Lightning, into other popular PC games. The business launched a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) Bitcoin earning mechanism in 2021, enabling users to add to a prize pool. Recently, ZBD expanded its reach to Microsoft’s Minecraft by adding the ability to earn Bitcoin on the player-run Satlantis server.
ZBD’s Bitcoin technology, which is based on Lightning, is not limited to PC gaming. The business powers a number of smartphone games that let users win little Bitcoin rewards. Their Android app also provides access to a plethora of game alternatives, all of which have the potential to earn Bitcoin.
Splitgate has already met members of the blockchain community. With the help of a partnership with the cryptocurrency video streaming platform Theta in 2019, 1047 Games offered token incentives and NFTs to viewers. Following this path, the company released premium Splitgate NFT collectibles in 2021 in partnership with cryptocurrency startup Epik Prime.
The Splitgate-ZBD integration opens the door for an exciting combination of financial incentives and entertainment as the gaming and cryptocurrency worlds collide, signaling the beginning of a new age in the gaming industry. Gamers, grab ready to level up, both in-game and in your crypto wallet!
