Cocos-BCX to support the new game ecosystem based on blockchain and 5G networks

Cocos-BCX Chief Technical Adviser Kevin Yin shared the idea of Cocos-BCX building a new game ecosystem based on new technologies such as blockchain and cloud.

Kevin said that blockchain and cloud technology can complement each other in the game field, which can greatly reduce the resource consumption of the blockchain system, and provide a more reliable platform for games and applications. While on the other hand, it can also give full play to the advantages of blockchain technology in circulation, transparency and channels.

Combining with layer-2 and TEE to achieve a safer and more efficient game environment under the blockchain trust mechanism provided by the Arcadia framework, blockchain and cloud technology will be integrated into a user-oriented virtualized game running platform, providing users with various game services that are not limited by terminal performance.

Haozhi said at the end of the event, “There are not many fields in the blockchain industry like games and Staking that have real application scenarios. People are focusing on games now because they need games to bring users to the public chains. If new concepts for the adoption of blockchain comes out next year, such as in Finance, IoT, or the decentralized finance of DeFi, people may turn to these new concepts. Cocos-BCX, however, will delve into gaming to fully demonstrate its value.”
