1 comment zinkk.ethSubmitter :D Lots of FUD from anti-crypto gamers in replies to their X post: https://x.com/CCPGames/status/1834234076879896578 Some interesting aspects about how they use blockchain: Does EVE Frontier use blockchain technology? Yes: players can edit aspects of the game world and server in real-time; giving the community the power to add their own functionality to the game through Smart Assemblies, a feature that lets players program infrastructure they deploy into space. Smart Assemblies utilizes MUD, a framework for building on-chain applications: MUD | Framework and Redstone, a L2 blockchain designed for permissionless, open software: Redstone | Cost-effective chain for MUD apps, games, and worlds. Combined with Carbon, these tools are at the foundation of our persistent and programmable game server at universe-scale: one server, one universe, evolving through players forever. In addition, the economy of EVE Frontier is an open environment: all and any transactions are allowed, using in-game currency built on token standards. These solutions are environmentally friendly: all technology used to develop and operate EVE Frontier has the same energy consumption as EVE Online’s infrastructure. |
