Ubisoft Joins XPLA Blockchain as Node Validator <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In addition to its gaming verticals, the French gaming behemoth has long experimented with Web3, blockchain, and cryptocurrency services. Using its Strategic Innovation Lab, Ubisoft has established a foundation for potential XPLA network contributions beyond its primary validation responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ubisoft will “actively participate in governance proposal decisions” in accordance with the partnership, per a press release from XPLA.

To facilitate the transition from Web2 to Web3 gaming, XPLA is an open-source, Tendermint-based, layer-1 blockchain. The primary objective of its August 2022 launch was to empower participants in a “play to own” gaming paradigm.

The Walking Dead: All-Stars\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> and Summoners War: Chronicles are two of the most mainstream intellectual properties associated with games on the XPLA blockchain.

As per a blog post by XPLA, the network's most recent partnership signifies expansion:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe addition of Ubisoft, a global gaming company, to the XPLA family is just the beginning! We eagerly anticipate more validators joining our ecosystem, enhancing the security and stability of our network.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

About Ubisoft<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ubisoft, headquartered in Rennes, France, is one of the world's largest gaming corporations. Its games have garnered an extensive collection of accolades and have sold an estimated 800 million copies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of the time of publication, its market capitalization stands at $2.75 billion, positioning it as the second largest entity in Europe, with CD Projekt Red of Poland ahead of it in value at $2.99 billion.

This organization was among the initial gaming companies to invest in Web3 and blockchain technology<\/a>. It released a manifesto in 2021 that detailed its intentions for the blockchain and Web3 domains, placing significant importance on player ownership and agency.

Ubisoft is also a significant investor in Animoca Brands, a developer of blockchain-based video games based in Hong Kong.

Blockchain-based gaming gains further traction as the Web3 environment becomes more populated. Although the sector has yet to fully realize its initial potential of decentralizing gaming assets on a large scale and transforming public perception of nonfungible tokens (NFTs), the consistent participation of major gaming companies like Ubisoft and Square-Enix is encouraging.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
