Poker-focused tech startup PokerFi has announced that it will be launching a new blockchain-based poker platform in January. According to the company, the new platform will be directly integrated into its own metaverse, which uses NFTs as a currency.
Companies will be given the opportunity to set up and profit from their own Poker Clubs within the metaverse. However, they will have to buy the land from PokerFi and construct their own Casinos. Apparently, those interested will be given the option to rent, resell, or build a casino on their purchased land.
Digital land within the new metaverse will go on sale on January 12, with the public platform opening up sometime later in the month.
