EV.IO monthly users have grown to over 1 million monthly web3 gaming enthusiasts.
“We are proud to have EV.IO be considered a first-class, top-tier game on the entire Solana blockchain. Selling out in just a few short hours is yet another proof point that our NFT strategy is beginning to materialize,”
said Bill Kara, President of Enthusiast Gaming. “Since the launch of EV.IO earlier this year, we have unlocked two new in-game revenue streams – NFT’s and direct sales. As EV.IO continues to mature and the audience grows, we believe there can be additional revenue opportunities.”
