A major upcoming development is the launch of its embedded SDK in May, which will simplify the integration of mini-games with blockchain technology.

The participation of OKX Ventures highlights the increasing interest in the mini-game sector and the role blockchain technology can play in enhancing gaming experiences. Meanwhile, KBW Ventures and Pacific Century Group bring extensive expertise in backing innovative technologies, which will support PlaysOut in scaling its operations and attracting more developers to its platform.
