With the support of video game veterans from companies such as GarageGames, the creator of Torque 3D and several other game engines, Unity and Linden Lab, the creators of the Second Life virtual world, Forte seeks to create a reliable platform for game developers to promote the wider adoption of blockchain-supported peer-to-peer technology. economy in both new and existing games.

In particular, the Forte team is focused on developing decentralized solutions and products that would make it easier for game developers to integrate DLT into their games, thereby speeding up the introduction of innovative technology.
