Fractal Debuts Before the New Year, Users Flock to its Official Discord Server

Fractal, the latest NFT marketplace started by Twitch co-founder Justin Kan, officially launched on December 30. Kan hopes the company will grow to become the ideal platform for gaming NFTs as it has partnered with other blockchain game developers including Caveworld, Genopets, and the Sandbox.

The marketplace was just announced two weeks ago, but since then, over 111,000 users have already joined its official Discord server. Currently, Fractal utilizes Solana (SOL) to allow users to buy and trade NFTs. So far, a “Baby Scoot” NFT appears to be the biggest sale done on the platform which sold for 4 SOL or equal to around $680. Kan believes his new company has one of the fastest-growing communities in crypto.

“Durable digital assets through NFTs are the future of gaming. We’ve partnered with some of the most innovative gaming companies on the Solana blockchain to bring that future forward,” he explained. “Players are excited about blockchain games and we’re excited about all the new experiences that will be enabled by them.”

The company also announced earlier that it would be airdropping 100,000 Fractal NFTs to its members accompanied by certain benefits in the future of the platform. “Fractals will come with benefits both on the Fractal marketplace and within our community. Mysterious and powerful, their full potential is yet to be discovered. Perhaps in the future, they may grant special powers and abilities in your favorite blockchain-based games, or unlock the doors to exciting new worlds ripe for exploring.”

“Fractal’s game-centric NFT marketplace has the potential to become the premier hub and aggregator for gamers and gaming communities. The strength of their founding team gives Nyan Heroes further confidence that they could grow into a Steam-like platform,” explained Nyan Heroes co-founder Wendy Huan. Nyan Heroes is another blockchain-based game that has partnered with Fractal.

While the marketplace is Solana-based, Fractal has expressed that it plans to expand to other blockchains. It could be targeting Ethereum next given that The Sandbox, another one of its partners, will have a metaverse project built on this particular network.
