The PlayGame Token is an ERC20 cryptocurrency token with smart contract platform enabling game publishers, developers and communities to monetise directly from cryptocurrency crowds all over the world.
PXG is a crypto-token of fixed supply. Only 1,000,000,000 (1 Billion Token) will ever be created. It is fractionally divisible, and units of PXG are fungible and transferable. The Ethereum blockchain will serve as the backbone for PXG. Gamers can easily send PXG to play on the platform to each other, provided both the sender and recipient have an Ethereum compatible wallet. Game developers and publishers can incorporate this function – for gamers to pay and participate in game rooms and tournaments to earn more tokens.
As an ERC-20 token, PXG will be compatible with the existing Ethereum infrastructure, such as development tools, wallets, and exchanges.
