As of today, Bidali, a payment gateway provider and online gift card retailer, has added Enjin Coin (ENJ) as a method of payment across their ecosystem.

Now, any online merchant can utilize Bidali’s out-of-the-box online payment and accounting software to accept Enjin Coin with ease. Online retailers that accept ENJ through Bidali’s payment gateway will also have the option to be paid out in local fiat currency, with their taxes and conversion rates calculated automatically by Bidali’s software.

Bidali is actively building relationships with gaming companies across the world with the goal of bringing more mainstream attention to the blockchain community, popularizing cryptocurrency as a payment method, and supporting adoption of blockchain-based technologies.

“Enjin Coin is a fast-moving project with an amazing team and community,” said Bidali CEO Eric Kryski. “Their ERC-1155 proposal is a great evolution within the Ethereum token specifications that we feel will undoubtedly increase adoption of blockchain within gaming. We are really excited to connect the Enjin community with brands that resonate and help spread the word about the Enjin ecosystem.”

Holders of Enjin Coin and players who earn ENJ from playing games or selling their gaming items can now purchase real-world products via the Bidali gift card store and any other online retailer that uses Bidali's payment gateway to accept Enjin Coin. This provides a fast option to access goods earned from gaming, delivering a level of gaming asset liquidity the games market has never before seen. The recently launched store allows customers to purchase a wide variety of gift cards from popular brands such as Amazon, iTunes, Google Play, and more than 100 other household names.

"We are really excited about Bidali as a company. This ambitious team is creating a payment and accounting system that makes it very easy for any online business to accept crypto and receive fiat,” said Enjin CEO Maxim Blagov. “For them to kick-start this process by offering gift cards that enable users to purchase goods directly from their favorite brands using Enjin Coin and other cryptocurrencies is a testament to their innovative approach.”
