Hello community, this is BORA team.

Song Gyehan, CEO of WAY2BIT presented the theme of the combination of game and Blockchain technology at the G-Star 2018, the Korea’s biggest game show opened in Bexco, Busan from the 15th to 18th.

Song, who first known the Blockchain technology in 2014, explained the development background of the Blockchain technology. He said that he was attracted by the fact that anyone can use Blockchain technology to read and review contents but context could not be overwritten. He thought that it’s the solution to block transactions and illegal duplication among games.

The Blockchain technology, like African wild animals, it needs time to tame before applying to games.

The transparency of the Blockchain technology can solve issues such as probability manipulation in the game, but if it is inevitably rolled back due to a game failure, the blockchain can’t be rolled back due to the nature that the record can’t be deleted or changed. In the case of regular games, the log record can be deleted in 3 months. But, the Blockchain has the characteristic that the records can’t be deleted or changed. He also mentioned the technology still needs to improve, such as the huge accumulation of log data that reduces system performance, and costs to manage it. He also stressed that WAY2BIT is constantly thinking on ways to complement the shortcomings of this Blockchain and take advantage of it and apply it to the game.

‘BORA’, a Blockchain based Digital Contents Platform developed by WAY2BIT, consists of 4 big axes such as:

Token wallet service ‘BORA ISLAND’ for general users,

Testnet ‘BORA LAGOON’ where developers can test BORA platform,

‘BORA EXPLORER’ which provides transaction information of BORA Chain,

‘BORA ATOLL’ an operations guide for business partners.

BORA LAGOON is a space to test the BORA toolkit in advance to help contents providers to understand the BORA platform and link systems onto the platform. We provide various functions for viewing and experiencing Blockchain based applications. As a typical example, BORA provides a game made with Blockchain technology through BORA LAGOON testnet, and through the testnet we provide source-codes along with gameplay. For more information, visit the BORA LAGOON website.

Finally, he has unveiled a roadmap for the ‘BORA’ project. The public beta has released as of Q4 of 2018, and partners are now using it to create real games. By the 2nd quarters of 2019, we will be launching the official version.
