Odaily Planet Daily News The start-up Virtue Poker incubated by Consensys has been relaunched, focusing on connecting NFT community users.
It is reported that Virtue Poker was established in 2016 to realize the decentralization of online poker. Having struggled to attract and retain users, Virtue was already on the brink of failure last summer when its website was shut down.
Ryan Gittleson, founder of Virtue Poker, said that launching Virtue beta in a new way today remains committed to the company's original mission: to use the tools and spirit of cryptocurrency to redefine modern poker.
The revamped Virtue Poker will provide the infrastructure for clubs and organizations around the world looking to host online poker games and tournaments. Gittleson said the NFT community could incentivize members to participate in Virtue tournaments by offering NFTs and other tokens as prizes to the winners. (Decrypt)
