Building the Next-Generation NFT Marketplace
Efinity is a project developed by blockchain gaming company Enjin as a cross-chain NFT infrastructure that creates ecosystem interoperability and incentives for users that engage with NFTs.
With nearly all the previous winners of Polkadot’s parachain slots DeFi-related, Efinity believes that “the interconnected blockchains – and indeed the world – needs an updated network for sharing digital assets.”
The cross-chain network describes itself as “the next-generation NFT marketplace.” It aims to leverage Polkadot’s ecosystem to build a decentralized metaverse that will allow users to exchange and transfer non-fungible tokens across blockchains.
Polkadot’s Parachain Slot Winners
Polkadot started its parachain slot auction on November 11, 2021, after years of planning. Parachains are an integral component of the Polkadot structure, and they represent custom and project-specific blockchains integrated within the network.
Since the auction commenced, Polkadot has conducted six auctions, with the winners being Acala, Moonbeam, Astar, Parallel Finance, Clover Finance, and most recently, Efinity.
With an estimated 100 parachain slots available on Polkadot, winners will be able to connect to the network by leasing a slot on the Relay Chain for up to 96 weeks with an option to review.
Meanwhile, Polkadot’s seventh parachain auction is scheduled for January 7, 2022.
