Ubisoft distributes NFTs for Ghost Recon players



The French gaming giant Ubisoft is launching a monster project. Ghost Recon Breakpoint players should be able to receive in-game NFTs in a timely manner.

Big news from the NFT space. The French game manufacturer Ubisoft today announced its own NFT marketplace. Ubisoft Quartz , the name of the platform, will be launched as a beta version on December 9th. The “Digits”, as the NFTs are called, are cosmetic items for weapons, outfits and vehicles. The special thing about it: each item has its own serial number, which is visible to every player and which tracks ownership. In addition, the game developer writes in its press release:

Each digit is provided with a certificate of ownership that is stored on the blockchain, a decentralized, community-operated and Ubisoft-independent technology that gives players more control than ever. With Digits, items are no longer tied to a player's game inventory as they can be put up for sale so that other eligible players can purchase them outside of the Ubisoft ecosystem. 

The objects are to be gradually released in limited editions. The start is marked by three dates: December 9th, 12th and 15th. The first items are distributed free of charge via airdrop. Gamers can only own one item from one edition at a time. Ubisoft plans the next drop for the beginning of next year.


This is how you get the Ubisoft NFTs

In order to get access to the marketplace and ultimately also the NFTs from Ubisoft, the following criteria must be met:

  • You have to play Ghost Recon Breakpoint on the in-house game platform Ubisoft Connect on the Windows PC.
  • You must have reached at least level 5 in the game.
  • You have to be at least 18 years old.

In addition, the Ubisoft Quartz is not available to all players, but only to gamers from Canada, the USA, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Australia and Brazil.


Quartz runs on Tezos blockchain

Technically, the choice fell on the blockchain from Tezos. Ubisoft had already teamed up with the Proof-of-Stake project as a corporate backer. The French company believes that the energy efficiency of the consensus mechanism played an important role.

A transaction on their network consumes the same amount of energy as streaming 30 seconds of video, while the previous generation of blockchain networks consumed the same amount of energy it would take for a year of non-stop streaming. 

Expansion of NFTs to other Ubisoft games so far "too early"

Although Ubisoft is likely to attract media attention, especially in the crypto space, with the beta launch of the NFT marketplace, it is still just another experiment for the past four years. During that time, the company repeatedly ventured into smaller projects, such as the One Shot Football game or as a node operator at Aleph.im . It remains uncertain whether similar NFT promotions will also come for other Ubisoft games such as Assassin's Creed or Far Cry . Baptiste Chardon, Blockchain Business and Product Director at the game manufacturer's Stategic Innovation Lab:

It's too early to say, but the built-in interoperability and decentralized nature of the blockchain pave the way for a fundamental framework that enables real connection between game worlds on a technical level. This is an aspect that we are interested in and that we explored with Sorare in our joint experiment, One Shot League.

Ubisoft could bet on stablecoins

It should also be interesting how the NFTs can be traded. The first items are all free of charge, Chardon. In the event that chargeable editions will appear on Quartz in the future, the use of a stablecoin is currently being evaluated. Chardon ruled out creating its own cryptocurrency.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
