Metaverse Hopping with Witek Radomski

My guest today is Witek Radomski, the CTO and co-founder of Enjin. With roots in the gaming industry, the company was founded in 2009, and built a platform that grew to 20 million users since then. This software has processed millions of USD in virtual asset sales, so expanding into blockchain and the world of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) was a natural evolution of their business. Efinity is a project of Enjin, a company that provides an ecosystem of interconnected, blockchain-based gaming products. Enjin's flagship offering is the Enjin Network, a social gaming platform through which users can create websites and clans, chat, and host virtual item stores. By using blockchain technology to manage in-game items across many different properties, Enjin can help reduce the high fees and fraud that have plagued the transfer of virtual in-game goods and collectables. The Enjin platform also provides software developer kits (SDKs) that equip developers with tools to build their own NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain and enable their integration into the gaming ecosystems or apps of their choice. The platform also maintains its own native NFT marketplace and a wallet with NFT support. Witek in addition to being the CTO and Co-Founder of Enjin is the author of the ERC-1155 multi-token standard.
