Mobile games are the most powerful and fastest growing segment of the entertainment industry. Millions of daily transactions relating to in-game purchases, advertising, participation in tournaments and the promotion of mobile games require their own specialized infrastructure that takes into account the specific characteristics of this market. BGX offers game developers, local and niche app stores, sponsors, and players an integrated support to the ecosystem in which the distribution of benefits is managed in a transparent and decentralized way, and individual participants do not monopolize access to information. The proposed solution is the synergy of efforts between three groups of developers who have joined BGX and have developed their technological solutions for several years. These include developers of financial computing systems, developers of research projects in the field of artificial intelligence and developers of mobile content delivery systems. The result of this alliance is the decision to publish all the solutions developed in an open access space and to bring the unified processing platform to the decentralized mobile gaming market. BGX features include:
(1) A distribution system for gaming applications on Android and iOS;
(2) Independent processing of fiat and crypto transaction, including support for overdraft;
(3) A virtual player payment wallet;
(4) A subsystem for token emission by developers;
(5) Support for common monetization models; and
(6) A powerful engine of artificial intelligence that controls the ongoing transactions and scoring of the players.
BGX Platform
One of the platform’s founders formulated the idea of BGX in early 2017, after which he invited three distinct technology groups that were developing independent solutions to participate in the project:
The XELOPES Project (St-Petersburg) on the study of the opportunities of artificial intelligence in the field of controlling financial flows under the leadership of Dr. Barseghyan and professor of State Voronezh University A.P. Parkhomenko. The XELOPES project has been developing since the early 2000s and has numerous implementations in the projects of BASF AG, Deutsche Post AG, GlaxoSmithKlineand other customers;
The TITAN Project (Vietnam) — developing a mobile messaging client with the capabilities of a crypto-wallet (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol — XMPP, Multi-End Message & Object Encryption — OMEMO, Off the Record Messaging Protocol – OTR).
The QUICKLINK Project (Toronto, St-Petersburg) by an innovative Canadian company DigitalXpert Inc. implements a processing core for micro transactions.
Platform Architecture
The basic requirements for architecture are formed through the following attributes: scalability, performance, security, reliability, and so on. The ideal architecture of the processing system should be the following:
Highly scalable (support up to 9000 nodes, at least 2 million applications);
Productive (up to 100,000 transactions per second);
Secure (corresponding to security standards in the field of payments, trained with AI);
Reliable (no less than 99.999% availability);
Flexible in use (expandable in connection with new models of monetization);
Interoperable (interacting with various payment gateways and blockchain eco-systems).
BGX Platform Transactions
The BGX PLATFORM takes a 10% commission on all transactions except ads, 20% on internal ads and 40% on external ads. These earnings are split among: NODES, BGX TOKEN HOLDERS and BGX DEVELOPERS.
Mission
BGX’s mission is to use the computing platform with artificial intelligence technology amplified by the game’s ability to democratize the multi-million dollar mobile gaming industry. We believe that in the era of decentralization, the application market cannot remain under the control of a few suppliers. To create solutions, the ecosystem must be united. For this purpose, the entire platform (with the exception of the BIFROST Funding Module) will be available as open source. Any developer can join the platform and develop it as part of the gaming community.

Market Status and Current Trends
The full potential of the proposed solution cannot be estimated without an understanding of the global shifts in the economy. According to the FROST & SUVILLIAN report1, and no less thorough research of EY2, there are several mega-trends that form the agenda for today and tomorrow. The most important ones directly influence the solution that is being developed:
Technological Divergence (complete inter-connection: Big Data, gamification, virtual currency);
Mobilization (the rise of e-commerce, m-commerce, micro-mobility, integrated mobility, third world smartphone adoption);
New Social Trends (Generation Y, life expectancy growth – Gray Aging, geo-socialization);
New Reality Of Trade (virtual shops, OMNI-CHANNELS, new business model of sales);
URBANIZATION (urban population growth and suburbs, megacities, slum growth).

Mobile games are thus one of the most attractive industries for the transition to the blockchain economy for these reasons:
A large number of micro-transactions and flexible monetization models (IAP, ads, tournaments, subscription, etc.);
The appearance of limited and mostly centralized distribution channels;
A large and distributed audience, ready to perceive new technologies.
Mobile App Eco System Distribution Structure
A quick look at the mobile app ecosystem uncovers the main pathways by which mobile games spread:
Through user search (recommendations, advertising, etc.) in a specialized app store, depending on the platform15;
By default, through the supply of smartphones or tablets (OEM channels);
Through Internet search (especially HTML5 or hybrid applications, little represented in games).
Fraud Prevention
The technology of artificial intelligence is one of the currently trending topics and is at the forefront of development. The total economic profits from the introduction of AI are estimated to be $36.8 billion by 202518. Technological giants such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft spend up to $40 billion per year on AI-related technology, especially in five main areas: robotics, autonomous transport, computer vision, virtual agents and machine learning. The technologies listed above have various practical use adjustments already.
The most adapted use scenarios19 are the following:
Trading & Investments;
Card-linked Marketing;
Consumer Behavior Analytics;
Fraud & Risk Management.
A feature of the mobile gaming market is a large number of non-professional ecosystem participants, whose behavior is difficult to ascertain by a deterministic description. In this case, algorithms with fuzzy logic or algorithms based on neural networks come to the rescue.

Blockchain Cooperation
BGX is implemented on top of the Ethereum blockchain system, and despite the mechanisms of off-chain transactions need to interact with the large blockchain.
To do this, each BGX node has a special BLOCKCHAIN LAYER. This layer controls the written and extracted data. In addition to Ethereum, the project needs a connection with partner networks. A Listener is implemented for each of them:
Wanchain — implements cross-chain smart contracts;
Dash — digital Internet currency for immediate transfers;
Ripple — cryptocurrency platform for payment systems, concentrated on transactions with the exchange of currencies without the return of payments.
Blockchain Impact
The Blockchain is one of the most innovative technologies in IT. The essence of this technology consists of the decentralized storehouse of information in an environment without trust. Blockchain consists of nodes maintained by the miners; each node contains a chain of blocks, which are a set of transactions signed by cryptographic functions. The benefit of a decentralized approach is in the democratization of the decision- making profit distribution and an identical decrease in the share of business spending operations.
Cyber Security & Data Protection
An information security policy — BGX has established, reviews and regularly updates its information security policies. These policies provide the basis for all management decisions that could, in any way, influence the BGX value chain which includes, but is not limited to BGX itself, its employees, consultants, contractors, investors, and suppliers.
Organization of information security — BGX clearly explains all security-related roles and responsibilities and, where relevant, mandates strict segregation of duties.
Human resource security — BGX applies appropriate levels of scrutiny to personnel prior to and, where necessary, during engagement/association with BGX.
Asset management — Due to its distributed nature, BGX has necessarily adopted a three-layer ‘Responsibility’ model for assets that operate as part of the BGX network.
Access control — BGX’s Identity and Access Management (IDAM) model operates a layered series of interoperable ingress and egress access controls to and from its network and network-based services.
BGX ICO, Currency and Token Sale
The BGX Platform will have a dual token system. This system avoids the negative impact of token volatility on the platform’s everyday economy and aligns the motives of those holding the coin waiting for it to recognize in value with those of the users, preparing to associate with the platform.
