Do you remember the ‘interoperability’ gaming dream?
Ubisoft runs a decentralized verification network (DVN) to verify crypto assets that are moved or bridged from one blockchain to another.
The company uses the technology of Layerzero – more specifically, the codebase and omnichain – report protocol – in the deal. However, the Gamestudio has its own customers and nodes for its network.
The DVN means that Ubisoft players can move their NFTs and in-game currencies from one chain to another, making them useful with other Ubisoft crypto games (or external games or platforms). It can also make full migrations from one chain to another easier if Ubisoft ever decided to move one of his blockchain games.
Ubisoft will soon be able to make cross-chain bridges possible for his fantasy Turn-based RPG Champions Tactics: Grimoria Chronicles, which was launched using the Oasys EVM Blockchain in October 2024. Last year months before the end of the end of the Oasys Support was added to the end of the Derefreelzerzero to make it to make the Layerzerzy’s support. “Omnichain” Omnichain “Omnichain.”
Now it sounds like that is actually possible.
Layerzero’s Tech changes assets during transport in Omnichain NFTs (Onfts) or Omnichain Fungible tokens (OFTS). Onfts can be assets such as in-game items, while Ofts can be used for in-game currencies.
Ubisoft will be able to determine the costs of bridging assets for users, Layerzero Labs told CEO and co -founder Bryan Pellegrino in an interview. Layerzero Tech incurs all costs in advance, so that no surprise sticks are needed for bridging.
The DVN is intended to be easier to use than a traditional crypto bridge, which may require multiple currencies across multiple chains and a few minutes to a week to complete an active, depending on the chain.
Pellegrino believes that crypto gaming is on its way to a “wider, much more liquid ecosystem”, and that it is possible to make more assets movement between chains a step in the direction of that vision.
We do not yet know which chains Ubisoft is planning to support with his DVN. But given the existing and upcoming games, Oasys and unchanging ZKEVM, respectively, use, these can be two of the options if Ubisoft, for example, adds a bridging position to champion tactics. Layerzero currently supports more than 130 block chains, including Ethereum and Solana.
Nicolas Pouard van Ubisoft, VP of the Studio’s Strategic Innovation Lab, has previously said that their goal is to be a chain-agency-that makes a DVN that supports dozens to more than a hundred chains, certainly possible.
After I was before reported That the next Crypto game from Ubisoft is probably a trade card game (TCG) using Immutabable’s ZKEVM, Ubisoft and unchangeable announced That they restart power and magic as a crypto TCG.
“Long -term is the goal that, you know, the user does not think about a chain at all. They don’t think of gas at all. Their wallet is simply connected by dollar. Everything is simply abstracted in the backend,” Pellegrino said, adding: “Users don’t think about chains and RPCs For too much longer. “
