Back in 2020, the company recorded a revenue of 38 million USD and already managed to raise 1 billion USD in 2021 alone.
What is REVV
Built on the Ethereum network, the newly introduced REVV token is a fungible digital asset. Furthermore, REVV is the exclusive token or in-game currency of multiple motorsports games released by Animoca Brands. Games like F1 Delta Time, MotoGP, and the Sandbox are among very promising blockchain gaming projects produced by Animoca Brands.
Described as a true utility token, REVV is your conventional ERC-20 token used as a cross-title asset. Additionally, the coin is the backbone and driving force behind Animoca ‘s Play-to-Earn model. In general, the token enables holders or players to buy, trade, and play games powered by the blockchain.
REVV is a unique and efficient token as it allows multiple contract operators whitelisting to provide approval-free REVV tokens transfers deep in the company’s contracts protocol and algorithm. In return, this enables participants to push crypto transactions on the blockchain using the REVV token as the payment token for the gas; thereby not relying on the native ETH token at all.
Future of REVV
Currently, Animoca Brands is also developing a blockchain game based on FIM Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix, also known as MotoGP. According to the Animoca Brands team, “ The MotoGP game will combine the experiences of strategy and management with the intense thrill of motorcycle racing. REVV will be the core currency of the MotoGP title, similarly to the way it is utilized in F1 Delta Time”.
As of now, very little is known about the continuous development of the game, however, it is fair to assume that the token will be at the very center of its mechanism.
