CARLSBAD, Calif. (PRWEB) January 16, 2018 -- GUNNAR Optiks once again leads the charge as the first company in the world to integrate Unikrn Wallet, part of Unikrn’s groundbreaking blockchain platform. Unikrn Wallet users will soon be able to buy the pioneer in gaming eyewear with UnikoinGold, and GUNNAR customers will get a UKG kickback on every purchase when they open a Unikrn Wallet and Connekt account. Additionally, Unikrn platform users will be able to win GUNNAR eyewear in jackpots on the site.

“This partnership with Unikrn marks a new era in ecommerce, technology, and gaming for GUNNAR,” stated Scott Sorensen, GUNNAR President, “We have supported gaming and esports for a decade now, and this partnership will allow us to elevate our support to the next level.

GUNNAR is the elite provider of computer and gaming protection, using cutting-edge science and technology to develop eyewear that safeguards your vision against the harmful effects of digital eyestrain allowing you to improve your digital lifestyle. Their precision engineered lenses are designed to protect and enhance your vision while providing both short-term and long-term protection.

“This partnership with Unikrn marks a new era in ecommerce, technology, and gaming for GUNNAR,” stated Scott Sorensen, GUNNAR President, “We have supported gaming and esports for a decade now, and this partnership will allow us to elevate our support to the next level. We are very excited to partner with visionaries such as the Unikrn team because both of our brands share a passion for making your gaming experience extraordinary.”

GUNNAR was the first gaming non-developer, non-peripheral brand supporting esports a decade ago and has sold over five million pairs. It took a visionary company to push esports ahead, and a similarly visionary company to join Unikrn in maximizing crypto functionality, usage and integration in esports and gaming culture.

“This is the first Unikrn Wallet partnership we’ve completed, and GUNNAR Optiks are once again ahead of the game. As one of the OG's in eSports it's nice that GUNNAR recognizes Unikrn's explosive growth and global reach, says Rahul Sood, CEO of Unikrn. By integrating the cutting edge Unikrn Wallet Blockchain GUNNAR may accept UnikrnGold from virtually anywhere, seamlessly and effortlessly. Just awesome!”

Unikrn has established itself as a leading esports brand that’s been woven into the fabric of the rapidly growing esports community. Their global product portfolio and contributions include the Unikrn wagering platform, esports team ownership, tournament series, multiple original content platforms, sponsored community creators, and a group that works with casinos to attract modern gaming audiences. Unikrn raised venture capital from Mark Cuban, Shari Redstone, Elisabeth Murdoch, Ashton Kutcher, Guy O’Seary, and many others including a leading investor well-known for early investment into Snapchat and the partners with similar track records in a variety of Silicon Valley successes, including Twitter and Instagram. Unikrn recently sold over 127,000,000 of their UnikoinGold tokens in what was the largest token sale in esports and gaming history.

You will be able to buy GUNNAR products directly with UKG. If you buy GUNNARs, you’ll earn a UKG kickback when you sign up for Connekt. GUNNAR glasses will be earnable via Unikrn’s jackpots, which users can enter for free after earning UKG just for playing games they love.
