Enjin Blockchain Key Highlights

The Enjin Ecosystem experienced massive developments in 2023, with the legal team playing a pivotal role every step of the way.

  • Blockchain IP and Royalty Payment Enforcement: Enjin Blockchain is the only chain in the Web3 space with on-chain royalties. Anytime an NFT is traded on the network, regardless of the marketplace, creators are assured to receive their royalties.
  • NFT Migration from Ethereum (December 2023): Enjin executed the largest NFT migration from Ethereum to date, transferring an astonishing 200 million NFTs to the Enjin Blockchain. NFT holders seamlessly claimed their assets on the Enjin Blockchain using the Enjin Wallet with a simple "Claim" click.
