The first use cases for Atari Token are in the domains where the Atari Group is already active: video games or blockchain games, with objectives to expand into DeFi for game financing. Gamers can use Atari Token for in-game transactions like purchasing avatars and accessories or participating in games and tournaments while companies and partners can use Atari Token for services such as testing and programming fulfilled through smart contracts, as well as for the development of blockchain-based games and payment systems.
