A growing number of games today offer in-game items for sale. However, while the adaptation of in-game commerce is certainly on the rise, there are hindrances as scammers, frauds, lack of money and even lack of experience. Many game developers and especially indie developers who in most cases have limited budgets are hesitant to implement trading options. Moreover, now it is nearly impossible to trade items between different gaming platforms. Therefore we are developing a decentralized platform for cross-game trading based on the blockchain technology.

DMarket is going to attract a growing number of indie developers who lack the infrastructure, workforce and financial backing to create their own marketplaces. We are using API to help game developers take advantage of DMarket decentralized access. Moreover, DMarket creates a whole ecosystem for in-game trading, opening a new market for global economy. By simply implementing an API and adding their items to blockchain, indie developers can offer gamers the ability to buy, sell and trade everything from skins to weapons and tools with the click of a button. Also, game developers will not have to build, monitor or advertise the marketplace. It also opens up the possibility for multiple indie developers to implement cross game purchases and sales via DMarket, something that’s still unheard of in the industry. Buying, selling, and trading items across different game worlds becomes possible. Moreover, it becomes possible to trade virtual item to something real. A car, for instance.
