Cardano-Oriented Startup GameFi Joins Microsoft’s Web3 Program

It has been revealed that Paima Studios, a GameFi project focused on Cardano and Milkomeda, will be participating in a new Web3 initiative from Microsoft. In particular, the studio will join the tech giant’s startup program to help Japanese game developers and Web3 entrepreneurs implement Paima Engine in their applications.

Blockchain Games

Paima Engine is the studio’s key development, the engine on which it builds its games. In addition to being a blockchain game engine, its competitive advantage over other rare representatives of the sphere is the ability to build blockchain games as complete Layer 2 solutions.

Meaning, by relying on Paima Engine, game developers can create games in any programming language and avoid the complexities of blockchain integration. The result is games built on trustless and open blockchain protocols that take advantage of advanced scaling technologies.

The achievement was enthusiastically received by the studio’s co-founder and CTO, Sebastien Guillemot, who stated that Japan is probably one of the strongest countries in the field of game development. Microsoft Startups representative Yuhong Chen responded by welcoming the new program entrant. Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson also expressed his support for Paima Studios’ recent achievement.

Paima Studios currently has two blockchain gamification projects: Jungle Wars and Volcaneers NFT. Both projects are focused on Cardano and Milkomeda, a Layer 2 sidechain.
