Nonfungible token (NFT) platform Enjin has announced its transition to a new mainnet called Enjin Blockchain, aiming to further Web3 adoption. Following the transition, its Polkadot parachain called Efinity has been forked to the new blockchain.<\/p>\n
In an announcement sent to Cointelegraph, the Enjin team highlighted that Enjin Blockchain would differ from other blockchain solutions that rely on smart contracts. According to Enjin, functions like creating and transferring NFTs will be integrated into the blockchain\u2019s foundational code. <\/p>\n
Apart from this, the blockchain also presents new features. These include \u201cFuel Tanks,\u201d which lets developers subsidize user transaction fees, and \u201cDiscrete Accounts,\u201d which allows users to interact with projects using its blockchain without downloading specific wallet software. <\/p>\n
The team also informed its community that Efinity, its Polkadot parachain, has also been forked to the new mainnet. It will be called the Efinity Matrixchain and support a transition for its existing users. <\/p>\n
