About Efinity and Enjin

Enjin is the leading ecosystem for non-fungible tokens (NFTs), offering a comprehensive suite of products for creating, trading, distributing and integrating NFTs into virtual worlds. Efinity parachain on Polkadot, owned by Enjin, is a blockchain where transactions are cheaper and faster than the standard Ethereum Blockchain.

Enjin plans to make NFTs carbon-neutral by 2030 with its upcoming blockchain, Efinity, to consume significantly lower electricity than Ethereum and Bitcoin.

Jumpnet is already out and working; it’s a sidechain of Ethereum that connects the Enjin platform with the Ethereum network. It works fast, has no fees, and users are minting NFTs like crazy.

Efinity will consume around 4,060,000,000,000 watts per year, that’s ~0.15 of the electricity used by Ethereum.

The PoS (Proof-of-Stake) protocol ensures that Efinity’s carbon footprint won’t increase as the network becomes more populated.

Enjin has grown to become much more than a gaming platform. Its vision with Efinity marks the beginning of a new era with instant transactions, almost zero fees, and interoperability between all blockchains.

Recently. Enjin announced over 70 partners who are building on Efinity with a $100 Million fund for the developers.
