When we look at the past the first video games seem boring as compared to today, however the addiction has not changed much since then. We all know the emotions, attention, attraction, excitement, and unity gaming/gaming activities brings to an individual or group of people. Since the early 2000s, Internet capabilities have exploded and computer processor technology has improved at such a fast rate that every new batch of games, graphics and consoles seems to blow the previous generation out of the water. Since smartphones and app stores hit the market in 2007, gaming has undergone yet another rapid evolution that has changed not only the way people play games, but also brought gaming into the mainstream pop culture in a way never before seen.
From a purely console-based platform to a internet-based gaming model and now, digital gaming that includes innovations such as Augmented Reality(AR) and Virtual Reality(VR), there has been remarkable transformations in the gaming world over the past two decades. As more and more relevant technologies emerge, blockchain is posing as the ultimate solution to bind everything together and power the evolution of the global gaming industry. Xaya, the gaming blockchain formerly known as Chimaera is here to disrupt the gaming industry.
Let’s welcome Xaya, The Ultimate Gaming Blockchain Platform.
What Is Xaya?
Formerly called Chimaera, Xaya is a decentralized platform with a foundation based on blockchain that allows for the interaction, creation and developments of games for users, developers or investors. Xaya enables the development of rich and intricate virtual worlds hosted in a decentralized manner without the need servers or massive financial requirements for their operations. Xaya will cut the time it takes games to get from concept to release, while reducing the financial burdens of infrastructure and administration on small development teams. In these decentralized game universes, players will have real ownership of their online assets and share in the profit potential that the developers have built. This will be done with the ability to change their online assets into real-world value with the use of cryptocurrency.
It supports several types of video games, such as card games, strategy games, etc. But one very important from my point of view are the MOBA (multiplayer online battle arenas) as they are currently very popular and not only that, but they represent a large part of electronic sports, thus giving opportunities for professional players to exist, contracts with large video game companies, sponsorship and advertising jobs.
FIRST CONCEPT – HUNTERCOIN
In 2013, the Xaya team carried out the Huntercoin experiment. It was the first decentralized blockchain-based multiplayer game with a mining option. The experiment was a great success that recorded massive adoption. It was completely autonomous with over 35,000 character interacting at the same time. It had a market cap of over 10 million USD.
All of the next generation games on Xaya can have the advantages of:
Being provably fair
Being decentralized and autonomous environments
True Item Ownership and fair acquisition
24/7 Up-time
Play to Earn gaming Experience
Fraud proof trading
| XAYA | Function |
|---|---|
| Enable developers to create provably fair games in decentralised autonomous universes | This function could open a new perspective to those developers of game genres such as Card Trading, MMORPG and others. |
| Build a blockchain-based gaming ecosystem | Allowing this technology to be used in the gaming industry will both popularize it and help developers create free game systems from scams. |
| Provide developers with tools for asset trading for new and existing game | Developers will be able to implement an easy system, both to program and to integrate to their games, reducing important production times. |
| Provide a full-scale virtual asset trading platform | Allows both developers and gamers to exchange the assets of their games for real money or other crypto currencies |
From the CEO - Andrew Colosimo
XAYA is a custom blockchain based off of Namecoin, a project that we have voluntary lead for over 5 years (the first official altcoin of which Satoshi had a large input - most of his last comments were regarding it on bitcointalk).
A lot of the Xaya concept is based on our first project, Huntercoin. Huntercoin was an experiment designed only to last for 1 year but it's still going today. Released in Feb 2014.
In Huntercoin players create a "hunter" in the blockchain and every move is recorded. Every node calculates the positions and state of the game every block. Very similar to how smart contracts work on Ethereum but released before it existed.Xaya works in a similar way but solves scaling issues using various innovative methods, in-particular something we call Game Channels. Game channels is a technology we came up with in 2015 and was peer reviewed and published in 2016 in ledger.

XAYA - UPCOMING GAMES
Xaya has two major releases in the works. With a live main-net already launched, Xaya is gearing up to populate their platform with games. Unlike many blockchain projects, Xaya is not a mere concept - but a reality.
Treat fighters is a game set in the world of Canedoom! Cook up your best treat fighters, and compete with others in battle. The game will run entirely on the blockchain. With nodes acting as servers, players can expect 100% uptime in this crafting type game genre.
