French video game developer Ubisoft is furthering its blockchain ambitions by joining the Aleph.im network in the capacity of channel node operator, setting the stage for further collaboration with the distributed cloud platform.<\/p>\n
As a core channel node operator, Ubisoft is contributing to aleph.im through staking, validating and managing the decentralized network. While all nodes are able to join the network, their status as core channel node activates only after they\u2019ve staked 500,000 ALEPH tokens. <\/p>\n
Jonathan Schemoul, the founder and CEO of aleph.im, said his company\u2019s \u201cprimary mission is to make decentralized cloud services a reality.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAt Ubisoft, we believe that Blockchain holds a key to the future of the videogame industry, bringing new possibilities for players and developers alike,\u201d said Didier Genevois, a blockchain technology developer at Ubisoft. He added:<\/p>\n
\u201cBeyond NFTs themselves, the decentralized storage of their metadata appears to us as a determining factor in fulfilling the whole promise of true ownership. In this perspective, the exploration of the services offered by the Aleph.im decentralized network is particularly promising.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ubisoft\u2019s exposure to the aleph.im network likely grew after the blockchain network participated in its Entrepreneurs Lab alongside ten other tech startups. <\/p>\n
