Trexx taps Tanssi to develop layer-1 blockchain for esports monetisation

Web3 gaming startup Trexx is developing a dedicated layer-1 blockchain platform in partnership with decentralised infrastructure company Tanssi Network.

This development aims to provide new monetisation and fan engagement tools for the esports industry.

Trexx will leverage Tanssi’s decentralised infrastructure-as-a-service protocol to build a custom blockchain that will offer monetary rewards to loyal players within its ecosystem. 

The platform is planned to include features such as behavioural credit scoring, AI-driven engagement tools, and the capacity to create tokenised digital products. 

Consequently, Trexx noted that game developers and esports teams could use these resources to potentially build deeper, more monetisable relationships with fanbases.

This model aims to address the industry-wide challenge of converting user engagement into sustainable revenue streams. 

“By launching our own chain with Tanssi, we can finally deliver the loyalty mechanics and community experiences gamers deserve, starting in Brazil and expanding across LATAM,” Heloisa Passos, CEO of Trexx, stated in the press release.

The partnership also represents a major milestone for Tanssi, as it marks the first layer-1 platform being built on its mainnet. The platform’s chief executive, Thiago Rudiger, has indicated that this collaborations could be the first of several intended to expand esports’ footprint in Latin America.

Based in Brazil, Trexx connects developers, teams, and gamers through a unified ecosystem. The platform uses structured incentives, rewards, and loyalty programmes to drive engagement.

Its early growth is demonstrated by the onboarding of 16 Brazilian esports teams, a figure confirmed in the partnership announcement. 

One notable name among these teams is Imperial, the recent champion of the 2025 FERJEE Esports Circuit, a CS2 tournament series held in Brazil.
