INTRODUCTION

The gaming industry has really experienced lots of upgrade for the past few years with lots of new technological tweaks to improve the experience. The Xaya gaming platform is one of the innovative emerging gaming platforms with a new and unique gaming experience for all its users.

Lovers of video games will tell you that as much as they love playing the game by themselves, they appreciate it more when they play with other players of the same platform and hence, making the whole experience more satisfying and enjoyable. This had been designed by countless centralized gaming platforms with options of getting multiple players online while connecting their game consoles to the internet. But just like the flaws of any centralized platform, its gaming industry have not thrived any better.

The Xaya gaming network is introducing the option of virtual realities that can accommodate multi-players that are not bound or restricted by any central server but by the means of the blockchains peer to peer reliant method, which allows the players to compete fair and square with others using their intuitions and ingenuity. Most centralized blockchain are always reliant on a particular central control console that pairs them to users around their serves but what most of them lack is the ability to run their game servers in a countless and frequent manner without boundaries of time. The Xaya is aiming to be the anchor for a secure and decentralized gaming experience in the blockchain which will benefit both game players and game developers at the same time.

Most times when I play my favourite online based FIFA Manager, I'm always elated and happy when my team does well and wins trophies not minding the fact that it's just a game. Most of my friends who witnessed my excitement serenade me with questions like,

"Does it pay you in reality for being a successful online manager?", "Isn't this supposed to be just a common game?"

Unknown to my friends, it's just the excitement of being able to compete against other users around the globe and come out successfully, that drives me. Now the real question for FIFA manager game lovers like me is this :

How much more will you achieve if the rewards gotten from winning a trophy or winning a game can be converted into real life rewards?

Unfortunately, that hasn't been the case of most centralised and even decentralized gaming platforms. The Xaya industry is not just offering its users the opportunity to use their gaming platform in High Definition virtual realities to gain rare artifacts and discover new parts as well as attaining higher levels, the Xaya gaming platform offers its players the opportunity to be able to get real life incentive rewards based on their performances in their gaming platform. That means that players on the Xaya platform can get the opportunity to trade their achievements to get real value in form of cash or fiat currency. This is a new revolution in blockchain gaming like has never been seen before.

The Xaya Rosy Huntercoin Beginnings

The brain behind the Xaya might have seen to be unique, but it wasn't just a recent invention. The group behind the Xaya platform first came out to the world in the form of the world's first decentralized game in the blockchain which was dubbed the Huntercoin. The Huntercoin's features includes the ability of allowing multiplyers on its network. This also came with an added ability for human cryptocurrency mining. The Huntercoin experiment paid off in a big way and created up to 35,000 avatars with revenues that ran into $6 million in 2017. This created a huge precedent for the Xaya platform which shows they have the acumen for the new project ahead. The Xaya project is more or less perfecting the work already done by the Huntercoin but in a more efficient and scalable manner to alleviate the previous limitations of the blockchain.

Framework of the Xaya Gaming Network

The Xaya platform like I mentioned earlier is aiming to create multiple player enabled gaming through the secure layer of the blockchain. The gaming experience comes with an added value of the players being able to trade their game rewards for real life prize rewards which is equally tradable between the players.

The Xaya gaming network also has a solution that benefits game developers. Often times, developers with creative idea for gaming gets stuck in the developing process due to a whole lot of reasons ranging from funding to having the necessary tools to build them up to proper graphics and usage standard. In order to subdue this issue, Xaya is leveraging the peer to peer structure of its blockchain, allowing users to trade and share virtual components between each other in a progressive manner that will allow each developer build his game characters and share the ones he doesn't need anymore to other developers. This is here the real life value trade for gamers comes into play as their virtual artifacts are valuable on the developers market.

The Xaya Digital Currency

Cryptocurrency have found a much higher value than expected since the inception of the Bitcoin blockchain and has revenues in billions of dollars as of 2017. Most often than not, the value of cryptocurrency is increased by its usability and that cannot be achieved if crypto users keep encountering scalability problems. The Xaya network is taking care to ensure fastness and efficiency of its gaming experiences through the production of its Chi token cryptocurrency that's is tradable for in game personal rewards by players. This tokens are used to effect all of Xaya transactions through an off chain scaling process that will ensure verifications in real time. With a higher demand for the Xaya tokens, more gamers can now subscribe to the platform, which will subsequently increase the value of its Chi token.

Xaya Networks Features

The particular consensus mechanism to be used by the Xaya platform is the blockchain Proof of Work (POW) persisting with a decentralized name for players account and the specific game data. Further innovative features of the Platform includes :

Atomic Transaction

This allows the transactions on the Xaya platform using the Chi token to be a fluid process and in a trustless manner that would enable the usability to increase among all the gamers.

Game Channels

To ensure that the platform can run a free flow mutiple player gaming experience, off the blockchain game modes are used to make it a fast flow process and encourage more people to join. Nobody likes a slow gaming network no matter how good it might look. Therefore the games are distributed effectively in shards to increase the scalability.

Ephemeral Time stamps

This keeps the gamers honest by also ensuring that all their game transactions are marked with their transaction time in order to record all trade operations and make sure that users with error in transactions are reimbursed effectively.

Xaya Technical Layout

The technology being used here by the Xaya platform comes from its Namecoin mechanism. The platform helps in the in game account generation as well as the trace of the game rewards for the Chi tokens. This tracks down the ownership source of the accounts and also executes the Atomic through trustless operations. Both the game virtual features and the Chi token to be exchanged are drafted into the Atomic transaction process. This acts accordingly to the smart cobtracts signed by both parties and they both execute if a the transfer conditions are met. This eliminates cases of fraud from dishonest users.

The issue of scalability while in the midst of a gaming operation has been solved with the introduction of game channels which is an improved version of the Huntercoin process. This means that if two players are involved together in a particular game which involves in game value stakes, they need not over burden the already packed main blockchain with the monitoring operations, rather they use a trustless mechanism of employing a side chain to execute the recording of the game moves. Due to the fact that the off chains record the movement of the game through its digital signature and hash structure, no one is cheated. The prize of the particular gaming process is shared to the winner in a 2 of 2 multi signature transaction. Any disputes between the two players can be settled with in game data of the gaming process absolving the honest player of all faults.
With this simple 2 game play mode, several other multi player structure works in the same manner.

But what happens in a case where a user decides to slow down the system with dispute call for gaming data? This is what we the Ephemeral Time Stamp is called into use. The process works in a way that

• The Data D is sent by the nodes to be time stamped at a particular time T, making it a recorded fact that D happened at time, T. This is done when gaming is in process.
• Whenever a player calls some dispute on that particular data D, the time stamp on it can be used prove that the player is aware of the terms and condition of that particular data D, then the player can be discredited for unjustly claiming prize rewards. This method ensures the system is fluid and effective and that honest players always gets their just rewards.
