The two companies are set to jointly design and market blockchain-based games and various blockchain technologies, including cooperation on investment opportunities.
Going by the report, Krafton wants to use the partnership to foray into new business opportunities in 2022. Back in February, the company announced its plan to add WEB3 and NFT businesses to its game operation.
It’s worth noting that the company’s product, PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, is already loved by millions of gamers across the world. So, the firm wants to leverage blockchain to boost its capacity.

“KRAFTON will continuously see ways to work closely with blockchain companies like Solana Labs as we work toward establishing our Web 3.0 ecosystem.
