# Who makes Arenum unique?
Arenum is a platform giving the initial infrastructure needed for game developers and gamers. In the long run, platforms thrive.

Arenum is above the hit-driven game industry - using successful games as fuel to power the platform’s growth and income, we play by the rules we’ve created.

Higher retention and opportunity to use the cross game exposure makes the marketing cheaper and insures the platform from ‘flash in the pan’ or one hit wonder consequences. Arenum sits at a level above games and remains stable by focusing on using trends to grow as a platform.

Arenums’ goal is to bring mass adoption to crypto through casual PvP games.
