KRAFTON, INC. Signs a long-term co-operation agreement with SOLANA LABS for blockchain-based games and services: KRAFTON, Inc., creators of the globally popular PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS battle royale game, today announced the signing of a business agreement with Solana Labs to support the design and marketing of blockchain-based games and services. Solana is a decentralized blockchain built to enable scalable, user-friendly apps for the world.
Solana is the world’s most performant blockchain. It gives developers the confidence to build for the long term by delivering predictable scaling without compromising security or composability. Solana’s performance is driven by a single global state, which is capable of processing tens of thousands of smart contracts at once, and by Proof of History, a distributed clock that unlocks low-latency, sub-second finality across the global state.
