Today, XAYA has introduced a new revolution – blockchain gaming. The new platform consists of a serverless system, that is unstoppable and censorship resistant. These Blockchain games turn game worlds into Decentralized Autonomous Universes (DAU’s), giving players more control over their experience than they’ve ever had before.
Blockchain gaming is an exciting development poised to disrupt the industry on a global scale. XAYA is a custom Blockchain, specifically for gaming, emerging as a flagship initiativ, which believes that the combination of Blockchain technology and video games could be a revolution for both industries.
In 2013 the XAYA team introduced the world to true blockchain gaming with the Huntercoin experiment. Since then, they have pushed blockchain technologies ahead with several unique innovations. Through several years of R&D, the team proudly presents this new platform where games can run serverless and unstoppable on the blockchain with countless thousands of games and millions of players.
TRUE BLOCKCHAIN GAMING - Real asset ownership, new game genres, completely decentralised virtual worlds, no Central Servers.
COMPLETE DOCUMENTATION - SDK/API, documentation, examples and support. No need for complex smart contracts. Use any language you wish.
MASSIVE GAME WORLDS - Cutting edge technology that allows for limitless scalability, real-time trustless gameplay and game worlds that support millions of players.

XAYA AN INNOVATIVE PLATFORM

The Xaya team is responsible for research, information technology and software design of the highest quality, attributing to the block chain all kinds of innovative tools, contributions and alliances that define the concept Offered by XAYA to users: "INNOVATION AND EXPERIENCE”
With a strong experience since its inception in 2013 with CHIMAERA and its unbeatable HUNTERCOIN, Xaya has dedicated itself to strengthening its experience developed by the main blockchain gaming, volunteer leaders of the Namecoin project and Bitcoin Core contributors.

Security, transparency and safety

In order for this entire ecosystem to work there needs to be a level of safety that is unpredicted. Upsetting a gamer is the last thing you want to do as they will begin to leave in their droves very quickly, there is a finicky bunch.
XAYA aims to provide a security via its distributed ledger and node system that can be audited at any time so you can see your assets at all times, while being present a decentralized network helps to avoid the downtime and ensure 24/7 access without a single point of failure to bring it down or to be able to corrupt the network.

HOW DOES THE XAYA ECONOMY WORK?

CHI represents the reserve currency of XAYA; is the native token of the ecosystem and all transactions within the platform will be made with this cryptographic source to achieve the support of XAYA.
Bitcoin and possibly other cryptocurrencies may be exchanged for CHIchips, during the TEP period which will be divided as follows: Public presale and main sale of Tokens. Each one will have its maximum limit of Tokens available.
The CHI Tokens can be used for operations such as: Account opening, Game transactions, Cryptography transactions, game accounts, among many others.
Once the Genesis block has been mined, the purchased tokens can be changed.
As the ecosystem grows, XAYA aims to create new, state-of-the-art innovative tools such as Dapps and increasingly complex and free virtual universes available to the user.

XAYA has a solid team and well experienced advisors. Therefore XAYA will be even populer and strong in the future.
XAYA has partnerships with Treat Fighters and Soccer Manager. Especially Soccer Manager is a very populer game with lots of users. It’s important in helping Xaya become mainstream and also partnering with Xaya will allow Soccer Manager to offer provably fair gameplay and true ownership of in-game assets to the players. It’s a good reason for Soccer Manager to be even more popular in the future.

Final verdict

While the project has some strong selling points and could be great for the indie market I do not see them breaking into the heavily dominated centralised gaming publisher market. The barrier to entry is too high and the ecosystem too competitive for one round of funding via an ICO. I don't really see a huge valuation for this coin and getting its off the ground would require more mainstream adoption and leveraging already established gaming user bases which is a tough sell.
All in all, a decent project I just don't think it has the market fit or the right time. If they can create the tech they promise the best move would be to sell it to an established publisher for a large exit.
