Fractal launched in December of 2021. Only four months later, in April 2022, they announced the successful raise of $35 million in seed funding led by VC firm Andreessen Horowitz. The Solana-based NFT gaming marketplace has just announced on Twitter the addition of an exciting new feature – called “Sign In With Fractal” and built specifically for web3 gamers in mind.
The new feature lets users create a crypto wallet by logging in with their Google account. The process creates a non-custodial wallet and then splits the wallet’s private key between the user’s device and Fractal’s servers. Fractal has highlighted that this doesn’t mean they hold users’ NFTs or assets.
Fractal states that the new feature is designed to make it easier for players to enter the NFT gaming space. Thus helping to onboard the web2 generation of gamers more seamlessly into the world of web3.
Notably, Fractal currently has more than eighty web3 Solana based game projects listed on its open marketplace. These apparently span over one hundred different NFT collections. Moreover, Fractal recently hosted a $10,000 esports tournament for EV.IO, an NFT-driven, play-to-earn first-person shooter, and it served as a test run for Fractal’s wallet offering.
