Verasity, a protocol and product layer blockchain platform for esports and digital content, is partnering with the leading NFT-based online video game Axie Infinity for the FTX GalAxie Cup 2021. Verasity’s competitive esports and video streaming platform, VeraEsports, will be the official and exclusive broadcast and esports platform partner of the online tournament.
The online event will be exclusively streamed on FTX GalAxie Cup and VeraEsports, both using Verasity’s ‘VeraPlayer’ to broadcast the event. This is the first partnership of its kind with FTX GalAxie Cup being the first to leverage and integrate Verasity’s patented blockchain technology on the official tournament site.
The FTX GalAxie Cup is the first professional Axie Infinity esports tournament held for NFT gaming and is Axie Infinity’s first foray into the world of esports.
The tournament commences on November 27, 2021, and with both public and professional guilds participating. The FTX GalAxie Cup opened for registrations last month to gamers globally, receiving an encouraging response from the community.
Andrew Campbell, program lead for esports and content creators at Axie Infinity, said,
“This pre-season of Axie esports with 5,000 AXS in prize money has illuminated an incredible foundation for our competitive scene. Tournament organizers around the world have been hosting amazing community events that continue to bring out the best in our community. As our community further pushes the envelope, we will be furthering our investments in building out infrastructure to support Axie esports.”
Having cemented its status as the leading blockchain-powered watch and earn platform, VeraEsports is a competitive esports and video streaming platform which offers advertisers, sponsors and viewers an ecosystem that facilitates easy integration with Verasity’s VeraRewards system.
