SCREENSHOT OF AN ANDROID MOBILE GAME

I'm sure I caught your interest with this graphics or let's say you like the clean UI and somehow you're either inspired to do some gaming before nightfall today or probably even gaming already. Ahah!

Before you do let me share my story (you may choose to feel sorry for me afterwards)

Now look at the graphics once again, at the top-right of each of them, you should be seeing the word "downloading" written. seen?

After downloading this mobile game from the Google play-store spending about 100mb, opening the file to enjoy my new found escape into the world of gaming, a new window opened.



wait what?! download again! 1gb!

Not only will i just download and begin to play there are a lot of custom settings, some files and more files to download which consumes a hell of space, turning my suppose pleasure to frustration, I had to give up!!

This little experience made me appreciate the Xmax blockchain project but can we have games in the blockchain?



I have seen lots of people confuse the two term "cryptocurrency" and "blockchain". A lot of people believe they are both synonymous to each other but clear definitions as extracted from Wikipedia shows otherwise.



Cryptocurrency: A cryptocurrency (or crypto currency) is digital asset designed to work as a medium of exchange that uses strong cryptography to secure financial transactions, control the creation of additional units, and verify the transfer of assets. Cryptocurrency is a kind of digital currency, virtual currency or alternative currency

Blockchain: A blockchain, originally block chain, is a growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked using cryptography, Each block contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data (generally represented as a merkle tree root hash) however widely used by cryptocurrencies.

Yes! we can have blockchain games. Recently there have been a sudden surge in the interest level of the blockchain from various industries and industry experts ranging from medicine, commerce, finance, marine etc and now entertainment and gaming industry. However the entertainment industry in the blockchain have already made some rather weird name for itself, i know what is screaming in your mind right now is "cryptokitties". Aside cryptokitties i have come across cryptofish and shark tank and just name them. They either out-rightly failed or had come to clogged the network notoriously, drawing a lot of attention to itself which kind of inform project owners like Alex Nikolaev, Hughes Ching and Christopher Manzano the team behind Xmax of a need to improve upon the current blockchain and provide solution for the gaming platform - the future gaming platform.





What is XMax?



XMax is an all-in-one blockchain ecosystem for the entertainment industry enabling set of developer tools which makes it easier to build and distribute decentralized applications. By using the XMax ecosystem, developers can quickly create their DAPPs and release them on one of the Xmax DAPP Stores. Decentralized APPs can be downloaded and executed by distributed nodes on the platform and served to APP users, with the whole process secured and guaranteed by the XMax ecosystem.

The XMax system itself is an open and decentralized network run by the community with total democracy and good reward system for developers based on the quality of content(dapps built), which should attract quality user engagements as well. Xmax reduces to a very great extent the entry barriers for new developers, it will be interesting to note that sdk and tools is fully deployed in the ecosystem free.

Education Focused – Developer documentation and community education are Xmax priorities.

Mainchain with Functional Sidechains:

Interesting to know that a lot depends on the efficiency of the blockchain, series of blocks making up the chain connected via enabling transactions, scalability, interoperability, inter-connectivity also ensuring that information is authentic and prevented from being altered quite unfortunate that current blockchain ain't exhibiting this necessary behavior causing both dissatisfaction and disinterest in the blockchain slowing down mass adoption as no new investor or developer is willing to have a slow transaction or bad entry point.

XMax functional sidechains are blockchains built for specific purposes. They use "SPV wedging" technology to communicate with the main blockchain, which allows developers to integrate user data from 3rd party blockchains. DAPP developers can also develop sidechains and integrate with the XMax network. One reason, besides performance, to use sidechains is to isolate different aspects of the blockchain preventing issues in one area from crossing over to the mainchain.

XMax is designed to consolidate specific functions on separate sidechains, rather than consolidating all smart contracts on a single public chain. To optimize development cycles, XMax also provides customized data structures and smart contract templates for DAPP developers. As such it will be easier to manage modules and data built on the ecosystem Additionally, when a functional sidechain becomes too complex for efficient processing XMax will automatically split it into parallel chains to disperse the traffic



Fungible & Non-Fungible Asset Tokens

XMX is the native token on the Xmax platform and interacts with sidechains or DAPPs via dual wedging to facilitate asset exchanges on the platform. Once the Xmax ecosystem opens, the core team will gradually cede control to the participants in the ecosystem. In the future Xmax developments will depend entirely on node operators and XMX token holders.

Two type of token is supported in the Xmax ecosystem.

XMX Rice - Fungible Tokens (Used to Operate XMax Ecosystem) XMax platform users can release fungible tokens (similar to ERC20) and exchange them in payment for services or other tokens on or off the platform. Token can be gotten in the various Xmax Market here.

XMX Lobster - Non-Fungible Tokens (Assets & Groups of Assets) XMax users can release asset tokens (similar to ERC721). Each token is unique and non-divisible, these tokens represent item ownership on the blockchain. XMax asset tokens further subdivide into class tokens and item tokens. Example: You create a class token to represent a set of armor in your game, and each different piece of armor is an item token within the class. The value of your class tokens can be updated based on the value of your item tokens.



Partnerships and Recent Events

It may interest you to know that Xmax is for non-profit, totally for the blockchain community and have been making series of qualitative moves that inspires a lot of confidence in the project as reported officially Here



XMAX & CBD: Through close cooperation with XMAX’s Ecosystem, CBD (Cross-Border Data & Credit Ecosystem) obtained investment from Manzi VC this week. CBD is based on a decentralized cross-border data platform and enables cross-border trade, cross-border finance, and international payments. The future cross-border credit economy will embody the blockchain principles of decentralization, privacy, and trust.

XMAX & SAC SAC: (Saturn Chain) works closely with XMAX’s entertainment ecosystem. SAC has received investments from investment institutions including Genesis, Brink Asset, Consensus Lab, Consensus Capital, Nuts Capital, Voyage Capital, KFund, Fangxiang Capital, One-TV, and VVBTC. SAC greatly improves TPS, by combining blockchain technology with sidechains which act as P2P CDNs, and distributed storage, and enabling data sharing. Combining years of social entertainment and live streaming technology, SAC will support recording digital assets on the blockchain and build an autonomous user centered-community

XMAX Community’s First Accelerator Camp and Captains Alliance Conference:

The XMAX community’s First Accelerator Camp and Captains Alliance Conference was officially held on July 7, 2018, and successfully concluded on July 8, 2018. At the conference, 77 blockchain community thought leaders shared their views, reached consensus, and co-created a vision. Following 48-hours of brainstorming, they witnessed the formation of XMAX’s future vision.

I look forward to more activities in the coming weeks as weekly games are also carried out on the official Twitter handle, this has got to be a project that is interesting from start to finish community focused more than what they stand to gain. Of course everyone gains:

We gain the right kind of scaleable blockchain technology with real life use cases.

Secured, safe and unhackable platform

Improve businesses as more developers and users join the platform
