Xaya

What is Xaya

The XAYA platform achieves this through the democratisation of game development and deployment, allowing developers to bring their vision to life quickly with significantly reduced costs. It will provide a wealth of tools and a state-of-the-art infrastructure for game developers to build their own blockchain-based games. Furthermore, developers can fully leverage the XAYA technology to issue their own game currency that can be traded for ‘CHI’ (the reserve currency and “fuel” in the XAYA ecosystem - the X is pronounced ‘chi’ in the old greek alphabet) or other XAYA game coins and assets.

Additionally to the benefit of gamers, developers can create fully decentralised, autonomous games where players can expect 100% uptime and have provably fair gameplay with true ownership of their in-game items.

Until now scaling has been a major difficulty for blockchains and particularly for massive game worlds and their virtual asset inventories. The XAYA team has overcome this with world leading breakthroughs in Trustless Off-chain Scaling for games (Game Channels)1 and Ephemeral Timestamps2 and will continue to invest strongly in this important and novel field.

The assembled XAYA team is comprised of the original creators of blockchain gaming, experienced developers, and blockchain and business experts. So whilst this is a new frontier for cryptocurrency and gaming, the assembled team has the experience, insight, and initial designs available to readily solve the challenges ahead. This will usher in a new era of gamechanging blockchain technology and a whole new gaming ecosystem. XAYA is developed and maintained by Autonomous Worlds Ltd.

XAYA addresses both the existing gaming and cryptocurrency markets and further creates an entirely new market in the process through games created on top of the blockchain. This new market is attributable to the creation of new virtual universes and item trading possibilities that are substantially deeper and more flexible than other emerging and simple trading systems using smart contracts.

XAYA targets both developers and gamers. The XAYA team aims to empower a large proportion of new developers who find taking their game visions to market challenging because of time and financial constraints. In this sense, XAYA aims to democratise game development. Through the creation of a virtual item trading and sharing platform, the XAYA team aims to allow players to generate real world value or capitalise on previous gaming achievements in new games through the trade of virtual items from one game to the next. This is achieved through the adoption of XAYA tools and applications by gamers and existing developers and studios.
