TSM partners with blockchain company Avalanche

TSM has secured a partnership with blockchain platform Avalanche for TSM’s competitive gaming platform Blitz.

The partnership will see Blitz use Core, Avalanche’s payment system, to power all user payments.

TSM and Avalanche will work together on activations for fans, players, and creators.

Blitz will get its own Subnet on the Avalanche blockchain, meaning that TSM will essentially get a custom blockchain to facilitate its needs. The two companies announced that TSM will host tournaments on the Blitz Subnet, and also create ‘Blitz Arenas’ that will offer prizes for players competing in them.

Avalanche will become the official blockchain partner for TSM going forwards, but the two parties did not disclose financial details.
