CHIMAERA —Revolutionary Game Technology based on Blockchain

Introduction
The world is unraveling new use cases for blockchain technology each day. Although most people still think of Bitcoin and finance when they hear the word ‘blockchain’, the technology extends its reach far beyond those two things especially in the gaming industry. The gaming industry is no longer a preserve for children. The fun and mental agility associated with gaming is attracting older gamers. The gaming industry is experiencing a significant boom as emerging innovations are causing people to spend more time on gaming platforms which is in no doubt attracting a lot of hype these days. These developments and attractions are playing important roles in placing the gaming industry as one of the most advanced markets.

The bigger stage is opening for the industry with the popularity of decentralized technologies. And one of which who took advantage of this opportunity were the creators of CHIMAERA. Chimaera, a group of gaming and blockchain experts who have been building in the scene as far back as 2013, has set out to challenge the status quo in the video game industry — especially when it comes to development costs — by empowering game developers and studios of all sizes. Unlike existing projects, Chimaera (CHI) is creating a custom blockchain ecosystem that will allow games to run, serverless, directly on top of its custom blockchain.

What is Chimaera?
Chimaera, a revolutionary gaming platform — is the world’s blockchain gaming platform of its kind, which is low cost, universal, and has exhibited a great performance. Chimaera presents one such project with roots that could be considered ancient in the realm of cryptocurrency.

The beauty about Chimaera is that it is an open source blockchain application and video game platform. Video games running on it are powered by CHI tokens on its blockchain. Chimaera is essentially created to be scalable to many concurrent world users by giving them an opportunity to download game state computations far from the Chimaera nodes. This is done by utilizing various game channels that are provided.

Chimaera is designed to provide unprecedented flexibility and convenience to the game developers. Some of Chimaera's notable features include game channels and ephemeral timestamps. The Chimaera blockchain ensures that all participants in a decentralized game reach consensus on the current game state. With innovative off-chain scaling technology, it ensures that games remain fair and decentralized without burdening the shared blockchain with unnecessary data. Unlike most upcoming ICOs, Chimaera’s presents a unique opportunity to claim a stake in a groundbreaking platform that’s already dangerously close to fruition. While a majority of projects still require major developments to be marketed, Chimaera will be able to enter the market ready for mass adoption.

Chimaera evolved from three main stages as seen in the image below:

One amazing thing about this platform is that all these are done with no absolute cost of processing.

Chimaera is compatible with any type of gaming, and even enables the framework for new gaming genres: human mining and Decentralized Autonomous Universes (DAUs).

However, with Chimaera’s revolutionary approach to blockchain gaming, such an environment as is presented by OASIS is finally possible. By integrating a network of Chimaera’s groundbreaking game channels technology into a cohesive environment, a Decentralized Autonomous Universe (DAU) is born. A DAU can represent anything from a neighborhood or a city to a planet, galaxy, or an infinite universe. Like the laws of physics in the world as we know it, these autonomous universes are governed by a universal, unwavering set of rules. For the first time, game where a player can do almost anything, and anything they can’t do, they have the power to create is truly possible. With Chimaera’s Decentralized Autonomous Universes, players have complete control of the type of gameplay they wish to pursue, by giving them full ownership of all the components that make up the game.

The virtual economies that exist today have proven to be more or less competitve and complex an economy is coded to be, the more opportunities players discover to fill niche economic roles. It directly gives players the tools to create their own economies, the nature and activity of those economies can become far more complex and interactive than that of even the real world.

Conclusion
The gaming world in recent years has greatly improved in terms of technology but yet there’s been no actual revolution capable of completely changing and improving the gaming ecosystem. And it is no news that the introduction of Chimaera, a platform meant to allow game developers to build massive multiplayer online game worlds on top of the blockchain network, could change this for good!
