Glance to bring NFT Games on Lockscreen

 

Glance, a lockscreen content provider, will now offer NFT based gaming assets and experience on smartphone lock screens.

Glance also revealed that it has acquired Gambit, a gaming company, which will help them to launch creator-led NFTs.

Piyush Shah, Co-founder of InMobi Group and President and COO, Glance, said, "Gaming is the most exciting content category across the world today and Gen-Z spends more time on gaming than on any other activity online. Giving users live, connected, interactive gaming experiences on the lock screen is key to Glance’s vision of building the world’s largest live internet platform. We also aim to launch creator-led NFTs for live gaming which will generate unique ‘play-to-earn’ and ‘play-to-own’ possibilities for the entire gaming ecosystem".

Said Yashashvi Takallapalli, Co-founder and CEO, Gambit, said "We have already started seeing great traction for live gaming on Glance. For instance, over 10 million users watch live game streams on Glance every week now. With Glance and Gambit’s combined strengths and our belief that there is a game for every person, we envision doubling the number of monthly active gamers on Glance Games in the next year."

The company official said that we will launch creator led NFTs for live gaming, which will generate unique play to earn and play to own opportunities for the gaming community.

As per Glance, NFTs on its platform will be offered in live gaming and it will allow creators, developers and streamers to monetize assets and experiences.

Glance's decision to offer NFTs on the live games stems from the fact that more Android users are engaging with content on lockscreen now.

NFTs would give them another reason to explore and spend time on the lockscreen platform. This would further drive up user engagement for Glance and help it to onboard gamers interested in NFTs.
