India launches first NFT-based cricket strategy game

Cricket Stars has been released in the esports market for India’s massive market of cricket enthusiasts. Gamers will be able to interface directly with each other over a decentralized Web3 network using a number of applications without the need for intermediaries. The new release is a proprietary cricket strategy game created and produced in India.

The game’s USP is that it is a multiplayer NFT-based game and includes esports events and tournaments. It is not based on a Pay-to-Play or Play-to-Earn model and this will likely attract more players to try it out. Tezos is a public, open-source blockchain with a decentralized protocol relying on low power consumption and energy-efficient consensus.

Significant advancement for the gaming industry

The partnership was announced by Tezos India at a press conference where the NFT-based cricket game was introduced by Om Malviya, President of Tezos India, as being ground breaking and innovative, signifying a leap forward for the gaming industry. Players will be able to play with the cricket game and collect and trade exclusive cricket-themed NFTs.

This game brings a new dimension to the gameplay experience. Our team is excited to collaborate with the gaming studio to bring this innovative game to life, and we can’t wait for players to experience the thrill of NFT-based gaming on Tezos blockchain. We anticipate that this partnership will serve as a fundamental building block of our mutual dedication to transform the gaming sector” Om Malviya, President – Tezos India

According to a press release by the company, the Cricket Stars NFT marketplace will allow players to interact with other players and use Tezos wallets to trade, buy and sell their cards through the in-game store without using cryptocurrency.  The Cricket Star NFT marketplace is powered by the Tezos blockchain.
