GCash, the leading mobile finance app in the Philippines, has partnered with blockchain-based game Axie Infinity and its Ronin sidechain network to expand access to web3 gaming.
Axie, a pioneering web3 game, runs on the Ronin network which enables fast, low-cost transactions optimal for gaming. The Philippines hosts one of the world’s biggest web3 gaming communities. However, recent issues on trading platforms like Binance have posed challenges.
As the go-to financial service for over 80% of Filipino internet users, GCash provides a practical alternative. According to GCash’s CEO, this collaboration focuses on its mission to make blockchain technology accessible for everyday use by simplifying cashing out processes and reducing financial barriers.
The partnership aims to create a seamless experience blending web3 gaming platforms like Axie Infinity with GCash’s financial technology innovations. Though specifics are still developing, the shared vision prioritizes user enjoyment and convenience by integrating gameplay directly with financial services.
This timely collaboration supports the rapidly expanding blockchain gaming industry in the Philippines amidst a complex regulatory environment. By leveraging GCash’s extensive user base, it seeks to unlock the full potential of merging decentralized gaming with trusted financial infrastructure.
As the next iteration of digital finance, GCash’s alliance with Axie Infinity and Ronin promises to usher in an exciting new era for the Philippines’ burgeoning web3 gaming community.
