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.

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

MSP Recovery and Tokenology aim to optimize healthcare with the help of Polygon

  MSP Recovery LLC, a Miami, US-based healthcare provider with an estimated enterprise value of $32.6 billion, is partnering with Web3 company Tokenology to jointly launch a new blockchain platform called Lifechain. Lifechain wants to leverage the verifiable and transparent nature of blockchain technology to aggregate medical care claims, medical expense reports and patient data and streamline their processing. For this purpose, MSP Recovery launched its own LifeWallet in January, which already has 1 million users. In addition to the wallet and blockchain platform, an associated crypto token called LifeCoin is also used.

British financial regulator criticizes cooperation between Binance and Paysafe

  The British financial regulator FCA has expressed concerns about the partnership between market-leading crypto exchange Binance and payment service provider Paysafe. As the British regulator complains, the partnership gives Binance access to the influential British payment network Faster Payments Service (FPS), from which the crypto exchange was previously cut off. Last June, the FCA ordered Binance to stop all business activities in Great Britain. As a result, prominent banks such as Barclays have terminated their cooperation with the leading crypto trading platform . Through the cooperation with Paysafe, Binance can now again offer deposits in British pounds sterling and transactions within the European Payments Area (SEPA). However, this fact is a thorn in the side of the FCA, as it classifies the crypto exchange as a “considerable risk factor”. However, the financial regulator sees little room for maneuver to counteract this, as the Financial Times reports . “ Paysafe understands
