Ubisoft enters the NFT market with Tezos, XTZ price rises by 50%



Ubisoft is entering the NFT market with the “Quartz” platform and is working with the Tezos crypto platform for this. Tezos only uses a fraction of the energy Ethereum needs for NFT minting . The Tezos course (XTZ) rose by 50% after the announcement by Ubisoft.


The game developer announced on Tuesday, December 7th, 2021 that he would launch the NFT platform “Ubisoft Quartz” . The NFTs on the platform are called “Digits”. The first items or in-game items (such as vehicles and weapons) are offered for the game “Ghost-Reacon Breakpoint” and can be traded in-game.


Ubisoft calls Quartz the first "step for the new Metaverse"

According to its own information , Ubisoft has been working on integrating blockchain and crypto technologies into the company for several years. Nicolas Pouard, VP of Ubisoft's Strategic Innovation Lab, described the NFT platform Quartz as “the first building block in the ambitious vision of developing a real metaverse”.


The first three item airdrops will take place on December 9th, 12th and 15th. The digits can be claimed on the Ubisoft Quartz platform and used in Ghost Recon Breakpoint. If you want to have the items, you have to be at least 18 years old, purchase the Ghost Recon Breakpoint PC version on Ubisoft Connect and rise to at least level 5. Further distributions are planned for early 2022, and further details will be announced at a later date.


Tezos course (XTZ) explodes after NFT announcement

Ubisoft works with the Tezos (XTZ) platform to create and manage the NFTs. The Tezos crypto platform uses a proof-of-stake mechanism, which is why it requires significantly less energy than, for example, Ethereum , which is based on the proof-of-work consensus mechanism (i.e. mining). In terms of environmentally friendly, Ubisoft can legitimately score points. Didier Genevois, Ubisoft's Blockchain Technical Director, commented on the collaboration with Tezos as follows in the press release :


“A transaction on the Tezos network consumes the same amount of energy as streaming a video for 30 seconds, while the previous generation of blockchain networks consumed the same amount of energy required for a year of non-stop streaming. Because of this low carbon footprint, both our developers and our players can focus on innovation without compromising sustainability. "



The Tezos or XTZ rate reacted to the news and rose within a few hours from 3.60 euros to over 5 euros. At the time the article was published, the XTZ price was around 4.50 euros.

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
