I would like to revise this progress review to provide more information about Zilliqa's game console, which will be the world's first WEB3 crypto-game console.
Zilliqa is venturing into the realm of Web3 gaming by introducing a hardware console and gaming hub. During a six-month research phase, their engineers dedicated their efforts to designing and testing the console with the goal of seamlessly integrating Web3 elements such as crypto wallets, mining software, and blockchain technology into a familiar gaming experience.
Valentin Cobelea, Head of Gaming Technology at Zilliqa, highlighted the NFT collection 'NBA Top Shot' as a benchmark to emulate.
In this gaming environment, players will have the opportunity to earn Zilliqa (ZIL) tokens by completing in-game "skill-to-earn" missions, tasks, and quests. These tokens can be likened to coins or rewards in traditional games, but with the added benefits of blockchain technology.
Furthermore, Zilliqa has mentioned that players will be able to mine ZIL tokens, a process that they believe will contribute to the decentralization of the Zilliqa blockchain by increasing the number of global miners.
Zilliqa has partnered with Web3 esports organization XBorg, who will assist in creating gaming tournaments, marketing efforts, and receive beta access to test Zilliqa's gaming hub in October.
It's important to note that while Zilliqa aims to compete with established players like Nintendo, Playstation, and Xbox, many have failed to do so in the past. Additionally, although they initially aimed for a Q1 release this year, there is currently no sign of the console. Therefore, it's premature to draw any conclusions at this stage, but I am enthusiastic to see what they bring to the market! Show Less
