Hedera Partners with Ubisoft to Grow Gaming on the Hashgraph Ledger, a Patented Alternative to Regular Blockchain
Hedera & Ubisoft
The HBAR Foundation and worldwide video game publisher Ubisoft announced a collaboration to promote the development, growth, and launch of next-generation gaming on the Hedera network. Ubisoft will join the Hedera Governing Council as part of this collaboration, with representatives engaging in governance and product direction, as well as providing industry-specific insights. Ubisoft will also manage a node on the Hedera network as a council member. The cryptocurrency is highly popular and now ranks #33 in terms of market capitalization.
Ubisoft is establishing a Hedera-specific curriculum inside the Ubisoft Entrepreneurs Lab in conjunction with the HBAR Foundation. The Entrepreneurs Lab provides worldwide assistance to entrepreneurs focused on the future of entertainment. Ubisoft and THF will collaborate on this track to find interesting ideas and companies and give fiscal assistance, as well as workshops and development support, to ensure their success.
Partnership
“At Ubisoft, we believe that the distributed ledger technology holds a key to the future of gaming by opening new opportunities for players to become true stakeholders of our games. The Hedera network offers a promising take on this technology, notably through its scalability, energy efficiency and innovative consensus mechanism.” said Didier Genevois, Blockchain Technical Director at the Ubisoft Strategic Innovation Lab. “We look forward to exploring with the Hedera ecosystem through our participation in the Governing Council.”
“Through this initiative, Ubisoft and the HBAR Foundation are forming a deep collaborative partnership, which recognizes the value proposition the Hedera network presents for the video games industry,“ said Alex Russman, of the HBAR Foundation. “Ubisoft has been a pioneer in its engagement with distributed ledger technology, and the decision to directly engage with THF to enhance the support it provides to entertainment and gaming innovators provides tremendous opportunities for developers, startups and users alike.”
