GameStop launches NFT website, Potential partnership with Loopring

Video game retail company, GameStop, launched a new website dedicated to NFTs last May. According to Bitcoin.com, GameStop announced that it was hiring new security analysts with experience in Blockchain technology, cryptocurrency, and NFTs. The website posted an advertisement that said “Calling all creators. Request to be a creator on the GameStop NFT Marketplace. We will open up minting access on a rolling basis.”

The website itself is designed in a vintage fashion, with an Ethereum-shaped cartridge being inserted into a portable gaming device that appears when scrolling through it. When a creator chooses to sign up for the NFT market a questionnaire appears and asks about the content they would produce for the site. Additionally, creators are instructed to provide a link to their websites.

The questionnaire also looks at what type of experience creators have with NFTs and if they have used an Ethereum wallet in the past. Furthermore, the website features an Ethereum smart contract address. This address has led to some rumors about GameStop partnering with Loopring; an Ethereum token described as “an open-sourced, audited, and non-custodial exchange protocol”.

According to Etherscan, there have been several transactions sent to ETH via these contracts. When asked about the potential partnership, Loopring CEO Daniel Wang replied with “I cannot comment on that.”
