At SkyPeople<\/a>, a game development company, we\u2019ve been at the intersection of blockchain and gaming for some time. In 2017 we released our first mobile game, FinalBlade. <\/p>\n

We were blown away by its initial popularity. <\/p>\n

FinalBlade was played in over 150 countries with a strong following in South Korea and Taiwan and reached second in the Gross Rank platform. In 2018, like many, we began looking into blockchain. At the time we were selected by Tron SR and ran a supernode to support and add new features to the game. We were overwhelmed with the success of it and in 2019 we released it globally with 300,000 users quickly joining our waitlist. <\/p>\n

Fast forward to today and in the quickly changing world of blockchain we\u2019re excited to begin building our new upcoming game, FiveStars, with new use cases and technology in mind. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Blockchain gaming use cases<\/h4>\n

As we considered blockchain use cases for FiveStars we knew there were the typical gaming examples like managing digital assets using non-fungible tokens or NFTs. This defines a digital assets, like a sword, on-ledger to provide user’s with a proven set of characteristics and uniqueness of the item and an open ability to manage them. For this use case, we’ve decided to run on Klatyn. <\/p>\n

Then we thought through new opportunities or how we could push gaming further. In large part, what we dreamed up required higher throughput than most blockchains can handle, but these use cases excited us and we pushed on. <\/p>\n

As financial rewards in gaming and e-sports become the norm it becomes increasingly important for gamers to have transparency into the games they play. Popular sites like OP.GG<\/a> are an early indicator of this. OP.GG provides millions of gamers with insight into how they\u2019re playing \u2013 what if we took that a step further? <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

As you can imagine, our games handle a lot of user actions. We believe that for FiveStars by logging these transactions in a transparent way \u2013 similar to how AdsDax manages ad impressions<\/a> \u2013 we can give users a new way to view their gameplay with trusted real-time logs and stats.<\/p>\n

On the surface this is a nice benefit to gamers, they can see their results and know they have the same view as the rest of the world. We think there\u2019s plenty more to unlock. As just one potential bonus, with this foundation of transparency and auditability in-hand we can work to better monitor and prevent fraud across not just FiveStar, but our entire set of games.<\/p>\n

\nFor this to work we prioritized a network that can:\n <\/p>\n
