XAYA is the next generation of gaming based on Blockchain technology. With it, gamers truly own their in-game assets and game currencies that they can trade for profit. No cheating and no fraud. Games run serverless for 24/7 uptime. And, provably fair games enable a play-to-earn gaming experience where gamers can compete for real value.

They define themselves as the best platform for video games based on blockchain, product of several years of research and development within this technology (Blockchain gaming) and made by the original pioneers.

"The XAYA blockchain is custom built with elements from Bitcoin Core and Namecoin. Much of the technology will be built around Game Channels, an invention by the XAYA team in 2015 for scalable, fast, secure and provably fair game universes that run on the blockchain." - Sourse: Website of Xaya

They present a realizable and unique vision for the future of video games. Being these built on the XAYA blockchain, to manage the increasingly complex and attractive games of the world, and also to secure and simplify the ownership, exchange and trade of virtual assets.

XAYA proposes to achieve this through the democratization of the development of videogames and through
mplementation, allowing developers to bring their vision to life quickly with cost reduction.

They will provide numerous tools and a state-of-the-art structure for game developers who build their own ideas based on blockchain. In addition, they may issue their own exchange currency for X 'CHI' (the reserve currency) and "gas" in the XAYA ecosystem.

How it will change the world of gaming

XAYA will ensure that developers can provide autonomous and decentralized worlds, rich in negotiable virtual resources. Likewise, they will provide articles for players, allow developers to move from concept to game launch in less time and for less money without worrying about infrastructure costs (such as servers) and recurring costs (such as account management).

It will also offer a real property, simple and secure and will facilitate negotiation methods so that players can convert virtual objects into real value through a completely flexible system.

In this way, both players and developers can share a win-win result, being able to capitalize new sources of income and participate in new prosperous economies.

All this through a single custom platform based on blockchain that is able to provide:

The team - having worked on Huntercoin, it's perfectly positioned to execute on their vision

The team that makes up XAYA is made up of the original creators of blockchain games, experienced developers, and experts in blockchain technology and business. So, while this is a new frontier for cryptocurrency and games, the team has the experience and knowledge to easily solve future challenges.

It's a new frontier in both cryptocurrencies and blockchain based games, but it isn't unknown. In 2013, the XAYA team developed and successfully deployed the Huntercoin experiment. This achieved a series of world firsts that include, among others:

  • The first decentralised massively multiplayer game.
  • The first game world built entirely on the blockchain.
  • The first human mining permissible cryptocurrency.

Huntercoin was a successful experiment that allowed developing solutions to technical challenges and to test the market. In a few months of release, he managed over 35,000 characters interacting simultaneously in the game, despite having been a low profile release, with specialized hardware requirements and a reasonable level of technical knowledge of the player. It achieved a market capitalisation close to $1 million within just a few weeks and peaked to around $6.3 million in 2017.

XAYA is based on the important knowledge developed through the Huntercoin experiment, which will provide a lot of tools and infrastructure for game developers who wish to build their own gaming worlds suited to their vision and project.

All of the next generation games on XAYA can have the advantages of:

  • Provably fair gameplay.
  • Being decentralized and autonomous environments.
  • True item ownership and fair acquisition.
  • Reliability and stability/No Downtime (24/7 Up-time).
  • Play-2-earn gaming experience or Human Mining.
  • Fraud proof trading/Real Transfer Market
  • Massively Multiplayer

Security and fairness

When an asset within a game has a real value, it becomes very important for the player (possessor of the asset). That is why it is of great importance and should be an aspect of the decentralized video game, the security of these assets, thus avoiding losses and generating confidence on the part of users. This, eventually translates into greater adoption.

In the same way, fairness at the moment of playing is necessary, since competing in games with zero cheating, and that this is verifiable, generates confidence too.

The XAYA blockchain is secured using a custom PoW mining method. With SHA-256d merged mining secured by Bitcoin miners, 51% attacks are near impossible.

The possibilities in combining Xaya's blockchain scaling solutions with VR technology

The Virtual Reality, AR and now Decentralised Reality are possible. DR's are unstoppable virtual worlds where there is no central authority. The state of the world is computed by all those who are involved in it.



Use cases

There are multiple use cases for XAYA spanning the majority of gaming genres. Some concrete examples of
fully decentralised and provably fair game possibilities, are:

  • Collectable Card Games
  • Real-time Strategy (RTS) / Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA)
  • Turn Based Games

There are other genres as game types beyond the three popular online categories mentioned.

Cryptocurrency

By democratizing game development, XAYA will create pressure for high performance of their currency, called X 'Chi'.

XAYA, in addition to being a cryptocurrency, is essentially a blockchain-based gaming and virtual item trading platform. Therefore, the value of the XAYA economy will increase as more developers and gamers adopt the platform.

As the reserve currency of the XAYA ecosystem, 'Chi' is used to fuel all transactions. As the economy grows, so will its utility as: new and apps and dapps become available to users.
