According to statements from the Atari Group, the token is set to begin trading in November. The organization selected Bitcoin.com as its platform partner for facilitating the initial offering. The token's rollout will initially target sectors where Atari maintains significant presence—video gaming, blockchain-based games, and gaming casinos.
Frédéric Chesnais, who heads Atari Chain, outlined the company's ambitions for the project: "We intend to continuously develop new applications within our vertical and facilitate the growth of a token ecosystem built on Atari and its intellectual property, delivering innovative decentralized solutions accessible on blockchain networks."
Details about the token's specific utility remain sparse at this stage. Atari has indicated its focus is revitalizing the gaming sector through blockchain technology. The public sale begins next month, with Bitcoin.com providing the infrastructure. Prospective buyers must first pass KYC authentication checks through Bitcoin.com's verification system.
Individuals participating in the token sale can use Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Litecoin to make purchases. Looking forward, Atari is exploring listings on additional exchanges to improve market liquidity and accessibility for ATRI holders.
