Ev.io is one of the most popular games on the Solana Blockchain. Developed by Addictive Games, the shooter runs in any modern web browser and rewards players with e, an internal token exchangeable for SOL. The game has been heavily supported and sponsored by Fractal Launchpad, which is now the main marketplace to buy and sell ev.io NFTs. Players in ev.io can make money by playing the shooter and earning “e” tokens for killing their opponents and winning goals during the fight. The tokens can be exchanged at a flat and guaranteed rate of $5 per 10,000e. Ev.io is a “play to earn” game.

Michael Fassbender, charisma personified, steps into the shoes of a Hitman on a personal vendetta. The first 30 minutes of “The Killer” are a gripping cinematic experience, an essential phase that masterfully sets the stage for what’s to come.
