ONLINE GAMES BASED ON BLOCKCHAIN
Since the early years of Bitcoin, online games have always been a focus of several initiatives and developments of cryptocurrencies. However, due to many problems that had not previously been addressed, such as speed, cost and scalability, existing projects have not incorporated blockchain technology in video games significantly.
The virtual games startup Chimaera is preparing for its public presale, which began on March 23, 2018. Participants in this token generation event will have the opportunity to purchase the original Chimaera CHI currency. CHI feeds all the transactions in the blockchain, as well as the transactions between the blockchain and the game channels.
The token event will host three bonus rounds; Participants will have the opportunity to obtain a discount of 30% on the early sale and a discount of 15% on the first main stage.
GAMES BASED ON BLOCKCHAIN
While other initiatives may provide interesting approaches for this large industry, these attempts have been limited in scope and capacity, primarily to only one virtual asset trading system.
Chimaera, on the other hand, is forging a revolutionary technology called "game channels" that represents a gamified adaptation of the Lightning Network developments. Game Channels is an idea first exhibited by Chimaera's main developer, Dr. Daniel Kraft, at Bitcointalk in 2015 and comprehensively explained through a publication in the 2016 Ledger newspaper.
With the game channels, players can connect with each other and game worlds directly in the Chimaera blockchain. Without a central server, game developers pay nothing for server maintenance. In addition, since games take place in the immutable blockchain ledger, players are automatically protected from cheaters, and no human moderation is required.
EMPOWERING THE PLAYERS
As all games take place in Chimaera's custom blockchain, players subsequently maintain the real and liquid ownership of all their coins, assets and characters in the game. As a result, players can transfer and exchange items between different games and players, as well as buy and sell them for real money.
This ecosystem allows a Play-to-Earn framework for all players, and potentially a paradigm shift in the way games are played. For the first time in the history of videogames, players can participate in an ecosystem where their virtual works and successes translate into real gains. This profit can be used to buy other games and equipment, or even make it fully effective. This ecosystem not only allows players to make a profit, it also eliminates the unrecoverable costs associated with the loss of interest of a player in a game or simply the transition from one game to another.
EQUIPMENT AND BACKGROUND
While the technology and underlying solutions that Chimaera provides are undoubtedly exciting, what is just as impressive is what is behind the project. Chimaera is made up of a stellar team of industry leaders and cryptocurrency veterans. As mentioned above, Dr. Kraft is the inventor of the underlying technology of gaming channels behind the platform. In addition, Kraft is one of the main contributors to the Bitcoin Core code base, and was also a leading developer of Namecoin, the cryptocurrency of which the Chimaera blockchain bifurcates.
In addition to Kraft, many team members represent a successful track record with decades of experience developing independent and triple-A titles alike. Some of these members have worked in studies of powerful games such as EA and Square Enix. The main games they have worked on include Command and Conquer and Medal of Honor, and games that represent popular IPs, such as Star Trek and The Walking Dead.
The development of Chimaera precedes that of most of the main altcoins. Chimaera's team initially worked to create Huntercoin, a revolutionary project launched in 2013 that represented the first game propagated directly in the block chain. Chimaera is essentially the evolution of this prototype, an environment that can apply this approach to a wide range of online games.
