At the early stage, users in Hashworld are accumulating coins through daily games, inviting friends and also participating in our airdrops and events. However, the more interesting part lies behind.
There is hint in the Treasure that is related to the more interesting function. When users play games, they are actually playing games on the lands that owned by others. After the users gain coins through games or just open directly, the land owners will also gain the rewards.
The land contains 3 types currently: Hot Land, LBS (Location-Based Services) and Landmark. There are also different ways to get the land. After the English version has come out, we will publish a new article to introduce each auction method.
Land in the real world is a physical property that requires large capital to purchase, thus when it comes to the virtual games, people may have the worries in their mind: how does Hashworld decide the ownership and ensure the trade security?
- Blockchain and affirmation of ownership
HashWorld is an asset-related game. To trade the land, it is important to get a better understanding of how to decide the ownership of land. Affirmation of ownership is to confirm the affiliation relationship such as ownership, right of use of a certain real estate through a process that complies with the law and regulations.
Let us take an extreme example. Assume you own a house and find there is someone unknown living there when you come back after a half-year business trip. If you cannot find your property ownership certificate and other identity certificates, how will you prove that the house is yours?
The answer is to record the transaction information in the blockchain. If both the real estate agency and the user sign for affirmation of ownership, it is easy to trace back and prove the ownership. Blockchain assures that the digital assets of users in the game are freeholds and cannot be copied. When users record the information of the real estates on the blockchain, it is considered that there is a mark on the asset saying it is private owned asset. It can be said that blockchain is protecting users’ right as land owners.
- Benefit of Being a Land Owner
In the future, the land owners will have the title and the medal for the lands they owned, and they can also design their own slogan which can be seen and commented by others. Users can bury treasures underground and invite their friends to protect them together. What’s more, they can even initiate a challenge of discovering treasures to all users throughout the network and lead their own team to fight with others. Extra benefit will be given to winners and the result will be recorded by blockchain to keep the victory perpetually.
It is a combination of “Monopoly” and “Pokemon Go”. In the Monopoly, user can purchase the assets, and when others visit the owned assets, there would be some random events happening. While in the Pokemon Go, when people visit a real location, they can have a virtual interaction with others at this location. In Hashworld, users can play games at the lands that owned by others, and in the future, there would be more interesting game types.
- Blockchain Guarantees Randomness
As mentioned above, in the future, LBS land owners will be able to bury treasures under their own lands and invite their friends to join the activity of protecting treasures or the challenge of treasure discovery. All users can join by mining and there is a certain possibility that they can appropriate the treasures found under the LBS land as their own.
The fairness of the possibility to mine the treasure is guaranteed by blockchain technology. Whether you can discover the treasure is dependent on the random number automatically generated on Ethereum. The code is open-source and the data on blockchain is transparent and tamper-resistant. It can be said that there is no way for black-box operation under this mechanism.
