Enjin is a Singapore-based technology company focused on the video game industry and digital asset tokenization, supporting gamers and game developers with community management platforms and blockchain game development tools.
History[edit]
Enjin was founded in 2009 by Maxim Blagov and Witek Radomski. That same year, they launched the Enjin Network (Enjin.com), a gaming community platform providing website and forum templates and hosting services for gamers.
In 2012, Enjin launched their DonationCraft plugin for Minecraft, allowing in-game economies to be monetized by server owners.
In 2016, Enjin released a mobile app of their community management platform on both iOS and Android.
In 2017, Enjin made the move into blockchain and cryptocurrency by launching Enjin Coin (ENJ), an ERC-20 cryptocurrency aimed at improving the games market through the implementation of blockchain technology. Since the conclusion of their ICO, Enjin has expanded their blockchain offering into a larger ecosystem, including an optimized token standard, cryptocurrency wallet, blockchain explorer, software development kits, and scaling mechanisms.
The Enjin Network[edit]
Enjin.com provides a platform for gamers to set up clan and guild websites, create and moderate forums, and run and monetize servers. Fans of popular games such as World of Warcraft, Star Citizen, CSGO, Overwatch, and Minecraft all utilize their services, totaling more than 20 million total registered users across over 250,000 gaming communities.
Enjin Blockchain Ecosystem[edit]
In 2017, Enjin published the white paper of ERC-20 cryptocurrency Enjin Coin (ENJ) and launched it on the Ethereum mainnet. Enjin Coin supports and backs the tokenization of assets through the ERC-1155 token standard, giving them the benefits of existing on the blockchain. These benefits include true ownership, transparency of supply, verifiable history, a minimum reserve value, and interoperability across multiple games by different developers.
Products and services within the Enjin blockchain ecosystem include:
- Enjin Wallet (multi-blockchain cryptocurrency and blockchain asset wallet)
- EnjinX multi-blockchain and blockchain asset explorer
- Enjin Blockchain SDK for Unity (blockchain integration for the Unity game engine)
- Enjin Platform (blockchain integration via GraphQL)
- Enjin Beam (QR-based ERC-1155 asset distribution service)
- Enjin Mintshop (minting service for ERC-1155 blockchain assets)
- Enjin Minecraft Plugin (integration of ERC-1155 blockchain assets into Java Minecraft servers)
The Enjin Multiverse[edit]
The Enjin Multiverse is a collaboration between Enjin and several game studios to create shared blockchain assets across their games. This leverages the interoperability of blockchain, enabling co-creation of valued assets and audience sharing.
