• From CMC (22-1-2020):

"Since its founding in 2009, Enjin has launched a gaming community platform called the Enjin Network and has grown it to approximately 20+ million users.

In 2017 following an ICO that reportedly raised $18.9 million, Enjin has been building a suite of user-centric blockchain products that aims to enable anyone to create, manage, trade, store, explore, distribute, and integrate blockchain assets.

The Enjin ecosystem (comprising the Enjin Platform, Explorer, Wallet, Beam) aims to empower gamers with ownership of digital assets and enables game industry businesses to increase revenue. Enjin’s tools and services can also be used by companies seeking to create blockchain products or utilize tokenized digital assets as part of their acquisition, retention, engagement, and monetization strategies.

The Enjin ecosystem is fueled by Enjin Coin (ENJ), an Ethereum-based cryptocurrency used to directly back the value of blockchain assets. According to the team, there are currently millions of ENJ locked in blockchain-based digital assets."

Utility

• From this article (12-9-2017):

"1 ) Payment: many communities on Enjin have stores to sell virtual items, upgrades, in-game privilege, etc. Enjin Coin can become a preferred payment option, providing users and stores the added benefits that come with block chain — minimize frauds, faster settlement time, and lower transaction cost.

2 ) Create and manage virtual goods: developers can issue custom tokens, unique items, or privilege tokens (e.g., special access to certain areas of the game) all backed by Enjin coins — meaning Enjin coins are locked into a smart contract when they are created. Enjin coin can be redeemed back at anytime by users through smart contract, and the item will be burned.

3 ) Real-time subscription: instead of the typical monthly subscription, Enjin Coin combined with smart contract can create a pay-as-you-go subscription model where users can cancel game subscription anytime. Enjin Coin balance will only be deducted proportionately to the actual subscription time."

Scaling

• From The Defiant (4-3-2021):

"Will be launching two scaling solutions intended to remove gas fees and provide cross-chain support for NFTs.

JumpNet will be a “high-speed bridge network” that allows users to mint, distribute, and trade ERC-1155 NFTs (and ERC-20 tokens) without any gas cost or transaction fees. It is set to launch in April.

Efinity Network, will be a “decentralized multi-chain highway powered by a custom blockchain” built to support standard tokens and NFTs from any other blockchain, along with any other wallet, marketplace, or exchange. Efinity Network is intended to launch later this year, though a date has not yet been announced."

Interoperability

• From Crypto Briefing (31-3-2021):

Projects that use or built on it

• From Cointelegraph (9-9-2020):

"Coincheck's upcoming NFT marketplace will feature NFTs backed by a plugin from the blockchain firm, EnjinCraft, which are playable in select Minecraft servers. The exchange stated that they had previously been looking for a blockchain firm to help them develop their own NFT Marketplace, and Enjin came aboard to help make that a reality. However, Bryana Kortendick, VP of operations and communications at Enjin, clarified to Cointelegraph that this is not a partnership with Mojang or Minecraft. Rather, it is a collaboration between Coincheck and Enjin."

• Metaverseme; from Bitcoin.com (27-1-2021): "The Enjin-powered non-fungible token (NFT), which can be worn by users’ avatars in the Metaverseme app, will launch on February 23. According to a statement, the Metaverseme app will allow users to quickly snap selfies in the real world and generate hyper-realistic avatars. The AR mode maps users’ real-world environment, where their digital avatars can be brought to life as they wear and interact with their NFT fashion. Users can then record their avatar wearing fashion NFTs in AR and share the videos via social media."

• Microsoft, Binance and OKEx have launched NFTs on it (20-4-2021).
