Chimaera has announced their much anticipated token sale where people can purchase the ecosystem’s reserve currency (CHI) starting October 23rd. The blockchain gaming platform was announced in February on the Bitcointalk forums where it quickly generated interest and a following.
Chimaera is a continuation of blockchain gaming development from its original inventors who first introduced it with Chronokings and Huntercoin in 2013. Stepping up from having a single game on the blockchain, Chimaera enables countless games with virtually unlimited players.
The Chimaera team envisions entire Decentralised Autonomous Universes (DAUs) running on the blockchain where players in massive VR gaming worlds compete, cooperate, trade, form alliances, wage wars, and create their own epic stories.
The platform facilitates everything up to and including full decentralization of games where they run “serverlessly” and “unstoppably”. Further, games can be provably fair, which adds scarcity and value to in-game assets. Players can buy, sell, or trade items securely on the Chimaera trading platform, and even sell items for cold, hard cash. Whether or not players “go pro” and earn a living playing game remains to be seen, but it is a clear possibility.
Game developers can leverage new revenue models with the technology, and streamline existing ones. They can also build gamer loyalty by offering provably fair items that have real value.
The team includes a wide spectrum of industry experts with a heavy focus on video games. Members have helped produce games ranging from Facebook and casual games all the way up to AAA MMORPGs.
The first closed beta is scheduled for Q1 2018, with fully decentralized, provably fair games following in Q3 along with other 3rd party games that use the platform.
A white paper describing the platform, technology, ecosystem, and other components is available at the Chimaera website.
