Coinbase Introduces Ethereum-Based Gaming Token Amid Trading Turbulence
Coinbase, a US-based cryptocurrency exchange, announced that it has launched a new Ethereum-based gaming altcoin that was recently listed on its platform.
The crypto asset, Prime (PRIME), experienced some initial trading issues, which caused Coinbase to pause trading temporarily. However, the exchange has since resolved the problem and resumed trading.
Echelon Prime Foundation
The Echelon Prime Foundation created PRIME. This non-profit organization aims to promote growth in the gaming industry by providing tools for innovation in gaming models and economies.
The community of the Echelon ecosystem elects the foundation’s members, and with the creation of new games, the community of stakeholders will grow to include each game community formed.
The governance platform of Echelon will eventually become available, and 11 leaders, called Emissary Primes, will run the foundation. These Emissary Primes will be selected through governance mechanisms to determine the foundation’s future beyond the proposed architecture.
PRIME token supply and price
PRIME serves as both a utility and governance token for games in the Echelon ecosystem.
