Atari Chain is looking to boost adoption of its native token ATRI with expansion to the Fantom blockchain.

  • About 20% of the token’s liquidity has been moved to Fantom’s decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, allowing users to trade, stake and play games using ATRI, the company said Wednesday.

  • Atari Chain is a joint venture between the games company Atari and ICICB, a holding company.
