Introduction
Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies have managed to get involved in various sectors to provide an improvement or add an innovative element to its operation. In some areas it has been seen as an alternative for the development of new projects due to the acceptance it has had as the best technology applied to the base of these digital assets.
One of the areas that has been proposed to integrate with both concepts, is the one that corresponds to video games. This has been evidenced by the growing offer of new projects in different platforms, which seek to incorporate cryptocurrencies in their design, and promote aspects that make it more attractive and part of a growing ecosystem with a promising future.
Videogames in particular, are using the chain of blocks basically as a way for players to generate rewards for the development of certain tasks, the more tasks they develop the greater the reward, in addition technology has created a way for players to store your tokens, exchange them for other currencies and even exchange them in other compatible games. However, players require that the storage and transaction of their assets be done more quickly and safely, and that each game result is true and fair.
It should be noted that video games within the blockchain seek the benefit not only of the player but also of the developer. The developers spend time and money when they are going to introduce their videogames to the market because the services associated with cloud-based servers are very expensive, as well as the time and effort they make when they are configured on the server. That is why today technology seeks new proposals that provide the necessary features for videogames to develop within a fair platform and with mutual benefit.

Xaya
Previously known as Chimera, it provides a large number of tools for game developers who build their own worlds and who can later monetize their project. The Xaya platform works within the blockchain network, where players can store their winnings, as well as trading within a transparent and fair market. Within Xaya, developers can build decentralized games and issue their own gaming currency that they can later exchange for the natixa currency of Xaya CHI, or other currencies. The players have full ownership of their assets and virtual characters.
How does it work
Players participating in the game convert their computer into a machine to mine the game's own currency, which will be used by the players themselves to continue mining and investing in the game as an incentive. There will also be the option to change the game currency for CHI and other cryptocurrencies. In the case of developers, they generate profits from purchases and other actions in the game and also through the tasks that players must perform to win battles or challenges, in this way they empower and create an ecosystem of games massive within the blockchain.
Benefits
1.- It is the first and only integral ecosystem that allows online games without restrictions.
No cost, in real time and infinitely scalable directly on the blockchain.
2 .- The project has the ability to decentralize online games, so it is classified as a decentralized autonomous universe (DAU).
This will provide a perfect entry barrier for innovative developers to launch and subsequently monetize their designs.
3.- The Xaya project will also allow the secure storage of virtual assets in the game.
Assets that players can subsequently trade through a transparent market between peers, which manages to incentivize high performance players.
4.- The demonstrable gameplay is unique to Xaya.
The Xaya project ensures that all the participants in each game reach a consensus on the state of the shared game in a decentralized way, and demonstrably in a fair way.
5.- Supports the development of massive multiplayer scalable games. (MMO)
6.- Xaya does not require very expensive hardware devices to have the opportunity to extract new coins,
Mining in Xaya allows users to generate and receive new tokens just for contributing to the network.
7.- The Xaya ecosystem is independent of the language.
Developers can create their games with the language that is most comfortable: Java, Python, etc.
8.- The network eliminates the problems such as cost, speed and efficiency that attack video games in blockchain hosted on Ethereum and other platforms.
9.- Like most other cryptocurrency tokens, the CHI token is available to buy, sell and trade in the open market through a variety of third-party exchanges.
10.- New and experienced developers alike are welcome to publish their own creations along with game studios that are already working on Xaya.
Xaya Based on the concept of Huntercoin
Huntercoin was created as an experiment, an innovative multiplayer online game that allowed players to create unique characters and, subsequently, provide the opportunity to earn coins (HUC) in the game by competing with other users, who could then be transferred to their own wallets. Huntercoin was autonomous since it did not require specialized servers or other infrastructure. It offers the first example of "human mining", in which players obtain demonstrably fair resources based on blockchain that have their own and characteristic value in the real world.
The rewards in the form of their own Huntercoin cryptocurrency (HUC) branched off directly from the Namecoin code. Which meant that this project became the first cryptographic-based gaming platform that worked successfully in a decentralized manner. Xaya is the evolution of the Huntercoin experiment. Xaya will experience and provide a wealth of tools and infrastructure for game developers to build their own gaming worlds that fit their vision and project with the best benefits in the market.
Deepening the transparency of gaming results
An online game can be considered reasonably fair if there is a mechanism that allows players to confirm the fairness of the game process. The Xaya platform uses an innovative technology known as reasonably fair. This is also based on the art of cryptography and guarantees, beyond reasonable doubt, that each game result is true and fair. However, we must recognize that online games are very risky but it also depends on the player to determine if a game is transparent enough to entrust their money.
The blockchain technology provides a level of equity in which a game can be built thanks to its transparency and immutability. Based on that level the owners of the platform must demonstrate to the players that the game is working as it should through various methods and verification tools. In this case, Xaya demonstrates his level of equity by taking a unique feature of the player and the developer and combines them to create a unique result, which ensures that players trust the game and the platform. The high demand for reasonably fair gaming also demonstrates the popularity and reliability of such platforms.
Alliances with games like Crypto Soccer Manager and Treat Fighter
Treat Fighter is the first Xaya game and developed by TrickyFast Studios. It is a strategy game in which players prepare sweets to complete expeditions and compete in tournaments against other competitors. The game is in its late phase and will be released on October 1st.
Soccer Manager Crypto is another game that awaits its launch in XAYA. Soccer Manager is the best online soccer manager game in the world. It is a massive multiplayer football management game, decentralized and probably fairer. This is the first game of its kind, unlike existing games, this blockchain-based approach provides players with a real transfer economy. The game currency, players, stadiums and more are the total and verifiable property of the players for transfer, exchange or sale.
It should be noted that the launch of these two projects will be done within the mainnet.
The mainnet is a chain of blocks that actually performs the functionality of transferring cryptocurrencies between users. Through XAYA mainnet, users have access to their asset portfolios and also integrated wallets that allow them to register names and accounts for use in all the games that operate in the XAYA blockchain. Thus, all participants can register in the forms to receive free CHI chips to play.
Xaya allows you to change the scaling solution within the blockchain.
When it comes to putting large game worlds in a chain of blocks, it turns out that scalability is a critical difficulty for Blockchain in general. Then, solutions outside the chain are needed for these projects to develop successfully. There are some concepts that provide a solution to the problem of scalability in the Xaya network, such as:
1.- Game channels: Game channels act as a gamified modification of the payment channels, such as Bitcoin's Lightning Network, which allows the communication of thousands of game movements per second among any number of players simultaneously.
2.- Ephemeral timestamps: These act automatically and unbreakable to guarantee a fair game. They are used to resolve disputes in a game channel, this system requires that the game be played fairly and without trust, that is, nobody can abuse him to "steal" the blocked funds without winning the game properly (or if the opponent stops responding).
3.- Atomic negotiation: allows an uninterrupted exchange of all assets and virtual elements between games, users and cryptocurrencies. Players can reliably and securely exchange their virtual wealth through games and gain real-world profits.
Conclusion
Blockchain technology and videogames ensure a promising future precisely because they have shown that any videogame can be developed in a decentralized way, in real time, without problems of cost, speed and scalability and without impairing the entertainment that this can provide to players.
The Xaya project demonstrates that both players and developers are the fundamental parts of the network and that both can benefit from the same system. Within Xaya developers introduce their video games at no cost and in less time, while players have full ownership of their assets that can be exchanged for any virtual currency.
Xaya has invested in important advances to overcome the scalability problems that hit this ecosystem so much, and will continue investing in this field to promote the growth of great new worlds in games, in order to continue evolving within the Blockchain technology and that Video games can acquire more relevance as they are transformed.
