Gimli partners with Indorse

Gimli, the decentralized application for live stream eSports interactions, has teamed up with Indorse, a skills based decentralized social network for professionals to use the Gimli results for the user as a Proof of Skill in the eSports area.

The new partnership will offer Gimli users full control over their own data as they build their professional profiles and share corresponding skills on the platform. Indorse aims to build a serverless, decentralized network where professionals benefit from platform growth and data insights rather than third parties.

David Moskowitz, co-founder and CEO of Indorse said,

“Users of Gimli will be able to share their success as a skill on the Indorse platform — this is a great way for members to showcase their accomplishments and earn additional rewards.”

eSports is a huge industry which has grown to almost $1 billion per year, with explosive growth year over year. 500 million people tune in to watch eSports tournaments and streams annually, with 100 million people on Twitch alone each month.

Gimli recognizes the importance of streamers as key nodes in this industry, and helps them to monetize their large audiences. Monetization in eSports, as of today, lags far behind traditional sports.

Gimli’s partnership with Indorse is a strategic move to help eSports industry members showcase their skills and talents on a decentralized platform that uses anonymous voting to prove member’s abilities. Indorse will recognize abilities of Gimli users, which could be anything from prediction ability to marketing and broadcasting skills as well as pro-gaming skills.

Indorse recently finished their token sale receiving USD 9m in crowdfunding.

“This partnership showcases the potential that Blockchain technology and smart contracts have to transform various industries. This is just the beginning as we continue to push the boundaries of innovation everyday,” Moskowitz concluded.
