This primarily aims to lower the entry barriers through rental mechanics and help introduce more players to the Web3 gaming space.Web3 gaming enthusiasts following the event are also likely to keep a close eye on the TON Foundation, which has been the sleeper builder of the last two years within the crypto industry. The TON ecosystem owes a decent portion of its growth to the innovative games present on the platform as the seamless transition to games from the app onboarded millions of users.
