Ubisoft is giving away NFTs to PC gamers



The major game publisher Ubisoft will integrate NFT items into its games.

Ubisoft was the first major video game publisher interested in the blockchain space and has been experimenting with crypto game prototypes and supporting startups in recent years. But now the gaming giant is actually going to be implementing NFTs within one of its major franchises in a new initiative running on Tezos.

NFTs will be introduced in Ubisoft's Ghost Recon Breakpoint as unique, collectable in-world cosmetics, the publisher announced on Tuesday. Ubisoft called the introduction of NFTs into their game an "experiment".

Ubisoft refers to its NFT drops as "Digits" and plans to release free NFTs for early adopters on December 9th, 12th and 15th. Further drops are planned for 2022.

Digits will be the first NFTs "playable in an AAA game," according to the publisher. The digits are introduced into the Windows PC versions of Breakpoint via the Ubisoft Connect platform. Ubisoft is also in the process of setting up another platform called Ubisoft Quartz to manage the acquisition of these NFTs.

Digits can be requested through Ubisoft Quartz when the platform's beta begins on December 9th at 1:00 p.m. EST in the United States and Canada. Quartz will also be available in Brazil, Spain, France, Belgium, Germany, Italy and Australia at the same hour (local time).

Ubisoft, which had sales of $ 2.5 billion in its most recent fiscal year, is the largest game company to adopt NFTs. And that's typical, because Ubisoft often relies on new technologies and is often the first to introduce games on new platforms.

Ubisoft began researching the crypto and NFT space years ago and developed a Minecraft-like prototype game called HashCraft. Since then, Ubisoft has worked with numerous crypto startups as part of its Entrepreneurs Lab program, supporting projects such as Axie Infinity, Nine Chronicles and NBA Top Shot. In April of this year, Ubisoft also became a corporate validator on the Tezos network.

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. The press release explains that the primary purpose of the system is to enable secondary healthcare providers to more effectively bill health insurance companies for their costs. “The number of medical claims tokenized going forward will surpass $50 million per day by 2024. For this we need scalability, security and sustainability, which we have only found with Polygon

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
