Introduction

It is known by many that a chain of blocks can be seen as a source of records or information compacted in blocks, so that they can follow a sequence, thus ensuring that the information previously established can not be modified unless they can be altered. blocks subsequent to them, that is, a record of irrefutable public and unalterable information, that together with the adequate techniques of cryptography have allowed to safeguard digital money, without the need for a central entity to control the information [1]. So it is incredible how these conceptions have evolved and found space in different applications of our technological era, facilitating and generating economic rewards of activities, which we thought could be productive for a community (not at least from my perception) as for example Steemit.com

As has been mentioned previously, the blockchain tries to be a solution to problems of a different nature, which speaks of how extensive its diversity has become, and how functional it has turned out to be in the areas put to the test. It is clear that each case has a complex peculiarity, and therefore the chain of blocks must adapt to the context in which it is applied. The challenge presented in this opportunity is developed in the area of entertainment, specifically in the universe of virtual games and the person in charge of carrying out the decentralization is presented by XAYA, a platform for players and game developers in the network, with a clear vision to improve the operating mechanism and service of this product.

What does Xaya consist of ?

XAYA is constituted as a blockchain games platform "maintained by the first pioneers in blockchain gaming, volunteer leaders of the Namecoin project and Bitcoin Core contributors", in which they have been working for some time and investigating the main problems to overcome in the functioning of games produced by means of the block chain. It has as base and background the launch in 2013 of Huntercoin, the first game to use cryptocurrencies as prizes, as an experiment and with little publicity it was well accepted by of crypto enthusiasts, this work results in the experience and technological tools that underlie the Xaya platform [2].

To use the blockchain as the means to create online games without centralized servers and intended for multiple players, powerful elements are required to replace the function of a central server, this is where the importance of having work as the premise of the project lies. Huntercoin whose platform offers the advantage of being rewarded with cryptocurrencies thus achieving human mining, the most relevant characteristics are presented by:

• Game channels: It is a protocol of interactions outside the chain, inspired by payment channels and side chains used in Bitcoin, this in order not to overload the public blockchain where the games are developed, and allow optimal scaling in the future.

• Records of ephemeral times: It is a security mechanism that connects the public blockchain with the game channels, has the utility of providing transparency and fairness in the movements made by players in games considered in turn, so that if a dispute arises this can be solved by these conditions, without the need to overload the main block chain.

• Atomic exchanges:A transaction of purchase and sale is made in a single transaction, which must be authorized by the parties involved to make the exchange, therefore it is a security mechanism that prevents fraud among users who do not trust

What distinguishes Xaya from other platforms?

With the support mentioned above Xaya aims to present a platform "Decentralized Autonomous Universes" with the advantages that this concept can offer such as:

• Availability at any time 24/7

• Profitability and stability, as a characteristic of the blockchain users are encouraged to play to earn rewards in cryptocurrencies.

• Autonomy and sense of ownership in every sense, by having a wallet where you can manage your assets, transfers and exchanges are made easier by having total control of your keys.

• Harmonic exchange between the elements of the games, Xaya has the ability to manage assets of different games fairly, so that the conversion or transfer of prizes from one game to another is possible on this platform, therefore nothing of the achieved is lost.

These are some of the attractions offered by Xaya for game lovers who are looking to have fun and earn money at the same time, other benefits are aimed at game developers:

• Developments of partial or non-decentralized games, this opens the possibility to those who are comfortable working in conventional systems.

• Games for massive multiplayer, virtual currencies and creation of assets, a nutritious combination for the organic growth of the platform, since there are many that can be connected and generate profits.

• Compatibility of game engines, pre-built libraries and acceptance of player payments in a simple and secure way.

• "The asset management of XAYA is easy to use with any programming language you choose." [3]

Xaya's Economy

Xaya will use the cryptocurrency CHI for the support of the platform, since this economy depends on the factors such as trust and usability, it is important that the game developments offer eye-catching products, which awaken in the user the interest to be part of the Xaya ecosystem, this involves a demand of CHI since all the operations in the platform are made with this currency, the high speed of the money in exchanges and transfers is a positive indicator for the increase and strengthening of the currency , in this way we aspire to a prosperous and sustainable world of virtual games created in blockchain.

A copy soon to be released is Treat Fighters, a game that works 100% in the chain of blocks, in a context similar to the world of Canedoom, Treat Fighters is designed to be an entertainment for players, given the security provided by the blockchain to have total control of their accounts and the high possibility of getting rewarded from this creative activity, players can have fun collecting sweets, creating recipes, configuring fighters and many other applications that will make this game a trend in the gamer community [4].

The other product is a partnership with Soccer Manager a very popular and popular game that brings together an experienced online gaming community. The alliance of Xaya with Soccer Manager can be considered as an intelligent strategy, since it opens the door to a great potential of potential users that would become consumers in the platform XAYA.

Conclusion

Xaya is a platform that transcends the problems of escalation and saturation of information in a chain of blocks, to make possible the creation of decentralized games in order to bring benefits of justice and prosperity to a highly active community. Overcoming the obstacle of mistrust, insecurity and little opportunities to shine in an entertainment, is a resounding contribution for the wise and not so wise of blockchain technology, thus building an ecosystem that broadens the horizon and interest of gambling consumers with the potential to produce and contribute to the progress of a decentralized and democratic harmonic system, allowing also to integrate more people to blockchain culture through games, really surprising.

Added to this I allow myself to comment on the value of the cryptomonedas, as everyone knows one of the unknowns of those who distrust the cryptos is their support, from my perception the cryptos are supported by their function in a certain task, for example in In this case the games, to be used for this new platform we must obtain the cryptos (CHI) that allow us to operate on the network, so that the value is intrinsic in the accessibility of a benefit, whose service requires a huge work to be done and to offer a community a novel alternative, in the end and I emphasize from my limited knowledge the cryptos obtains its value, from the work, project or service that receives its function for the benefit of a certain community.
