DMarket is a Ukraine-based cross-platform marketplace that allows developers and gamers around the world to trade in-game earned items and goods globally through Blockchain and smart contracts. Founded in 2017, DMarket raised almost $11 million in funds during phase #1 from its initial coin offering (ICO).[1][2][3][4][5]
History
Gamers spend a lot of time gaming, getting different items and points while playing, such as a fancy car, armor, or a bunch of other valuable goods. Through DMarket, gamers can trade these goods among billions of gamers around the world in exchange for cryptocurrency or goods, creating a new billion-dollar market.[3][6]
Founder and CEO Volodymyr Panchenko and co-founder Alexander "ZeroGravity" Kokhanovskyy emerged with an idea to revolutionize the system and become a payment gateway for the gaming industry. DMarket provides free transfer and independent trade and is an open trade platform based on blockchain technology.[7][8]
DMarket raised $11 million in just four days following the launch of the token sale, while the original goal was $1 million. Investors and the private sector showed huge interest, and DMarket raised its first $1 million in just 17 minutes.[2][4]
