3thix, the firm leveraging Wweb3 technology to create an ethical ecosystem for in-game transactions, entered into a strategic partnership today with the blockchain platform designed for solving real world problems, Avalanche, to develop a decentralized ad-tech layer for the internet’s gaming economy. Working to produce better-targeted consumer behavioral data without sacrificing personal information or privacy, 3thix recently secured an $8.5M investment from video game commerce company, Xsolla, to bolster innovation.
As a result of Apple’s limitations on IDFA (Identifier for Advertisers), a mechanism providing advertisers data in aggregate without individually identifiable user traits, 3thix is leveraging distributed blockchain technologies to incentivize high-value marketing relations with gaming playerbases.
The IDFA acts as a digital name tag that helps advertisers recognize users and serve more relevant ads and allows apps to remember user preferences without knowing a user’s real name. After iOS14, Apple gave user’s a choice to opt out of IDFA, creating a strain on advertisers’ ability to target users efficiently and in turn became the central entity holding user data.
Decentralizing IDFA allows users more control over their data and location, better security with personal identity information distributed and access to more intuitive ads. Brands can also benefit from decentralized IDFA by becoming and remaining compliant in privacy laws. Building solutions using Avalanche’s Layer 1, a highly scalable blockchain allowing near-instant transaction finality, privacy and transparency, 3thix moves closer to reactivating Web3 gaming’s credibility.
“The unified platform, along with Avalanche’s industry-leading smart contracts technologies, is miles ahead of competing projects,” said Timothy Tello, CEO of, 3thix. “Through this partnership, we are creating a blockchain-verifiable web of relations that defines how partnerships work and function in the imminent future.”
Avalanche’s unique architecture creates the ideal Layer 1 foundation for high volume activity applications, enabling game developers and publishers to build on top of building the bridge between blockchain and gaming. “3thix’s decentralized ecosystem revolutionizes in-game transactions using blockchain,” said Andrew Cooper, Head of Games at Avalanche. “Users earn rewards, advertisers get precise targeting, and developers monetize better, creating sustainable value for all.”
