After scathing criticism: Ubisoft is switching to dynamic NFTs with Aleph.im

 


Ubisoft's first foray into the NFT space earned negative responses from gamers. Now the gaming giant wants to switch to dynamic NFTs with Aleph.im.


Earlier this year, the games giant Ubisoft joined the Aleph.im network as a core node operators after the block chain-based storage and computing startup at Ubisoft Entrepreneurs Lab participated had. On Tuesday, Aleph.im announced their intention to offer a decentralized storage solution for Ubisoft Quartz in order to integrate non-fungible tokens (NFT) into Ubisoft's top games.


On Quartz, players can purchase dynamic NFTs called "Digits" which are used in Ubisoft's Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint game. You can use Digits in the game and also sell them to others on the Rarible and Objkt platforms. The metadata and the history of the object are publicly accessible.


With Aleph.im's technology, players can see the names and milestones of previous owners of the item, as well as descriptions and videos about it. One of the advantages of the Aleph.im system is that the NFT metadata is stored on a completely decentralized storage network with over 70 nodes, so that all NFT owners can be tracked on the Tezos blockchain. 


Ubisoft and Aleph.im say they are working together to re-engineer the traditionally static NFTs, thereby creating dynamic NFTs with metadata. These develop as they are transferred from player to player. 


Didier Genevois, Ubisoft's technical director for blockchain, said players need to actually own their digit to take advantage of the technology's potential. "Aleph.im played a key role in developing this experiment. It allowed us to decentralize the storage of video assets and metadata from digits," he said.



Cointelegraph already reported on the negative reactions to Ubisoft's NFT push. The "Ghost Reckon" community was anything but enthusiastic about the "rip-off". Ubisoft is responding by switching to dynamic NFTs, which should be achieved with the help of Aleph.im, in order to allay the concerns of the players.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin...

Phishing attack on popular crypto sites tries to empty wallets

  Several major crypto sites such as Etherscan, CoinGecko, DeFi Pulse, and others report malicious pop-ups scammers use to try to trick users into connecting their MetaMask wallets. The phishing attack came from a domain displaying the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) logo. "We are investigating the root cause of this attack to fix the threat as soon as possible," CoinGecko founder Bobby Ong tweeted. The phishing attack appears to have been triggered by a malicious ad script from Coinzilla, a crypto ad network, according to CoinGecko. Etherscan also advises its users not to confirm any transactions that may appear on the website. The attackers attempted to use the hype around the “bored monkeys” non-fungible tokens (NFT) to gain access to the cryptocurrencies of unsuspecting website visitors. Although the websites affected by the scam attempt have reacted in the last few hours and deactivated the advertising pop-up, it is still recommended not to connect your MetaMask wallet to ne...

Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs stolen through phishing on Instagram

  Bored Ape Yacht Club ( BAYC ) developers announced on Monday that hackers have hijacked the official Instagram page of the popular NFT collection and posted links to a fake airdrop. Crypto enthusiasts who connected their MetaMask wallet to the rogue website subsequently had their Ape NFTs stolen. Apparently, the attack was planned to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the BAYC collection. This increased the "perceived credibility" of the phishing link. About 100 NFTs are said to have been stolen in the phishing attack . According to CoinGecko data , the minimum price for a BAYC NFT is 139 Ether ( ETH ) or $400,726. So if reports are correct, over $40 million worth of NFTs were stolen in the attack. These numbers are only the lowest estimate, however, as they are based on the lowest price.  At the time of writing, it was still unclear how the hackers gained access to BAYC's official Instagram account. Social media users have pointed out the importance of two-fact...
