Kim (CEO of NiX), Alina (COO of Huobi EOS Exchange) and Zicen (CEO of HelloEOS) joined the “Game Platform with Huobi EOS” session, let’s hear what they said!
NiX: Korean e-sports and game industry put their eyes on EOS
As co-organizer of MARVELS, NiX started as an AR based Blockchain game development company. It later expanded to Pay and Accelerating businesses, launched MOBBA (Multiplayer Online Blockchain Battle Arena) Platform, and is currently consolidating the company’s position as a professional EOS based Game Accelerator. With the ongoing projects, NiX is looking to make a successful takeoff as a Blockchain based Property Asset Management in the near future.
Kim demonstrated COIN MONSTER, a thrilling and fun new concept application game that combines treasure hunting genre based on Augmented Reality (AR). The game is expected to be promoted in over 180 countries and places soon.
Alina: Huobi EOS Exchange will continue to expand services within the EOS ecosystem
Alina talked about trends and pain points of public chain eco-system. If coin offerings and smart contracts on Ethereum were the theme last year, DApps on EOS and other public chains will be the trend for the industry this year.
She explained as following:
· Huobi will continue to expand services on EOS. Establishing Huobi EOS Exchange will be the first step to promote the development of public chain.
· Huobi EOS Exchange is just a kick-start. Huobi will provide closed-loop service support for EOS ecosystem in the near future.
· Aside from EOS, Huobi will support transaction of its DApps token soon as well, working with EOS communities to bring EOS ecosystem to the next level.
Zicen: HelloEOS will provide resources and support for EOS-based projects as much as we can.
EOS is so far the best running environment for DApps, Zicen said, it has six major advantages: Scalability, high speed, efficiency, free, environmentally friendly, and easy access for developers.
Zicen pointed out that EOS topped all the lists in the assessment reports issued by the three major rating agencies (CCID, FCAS and WEISS). Nine months after the launch of EOS mainnet, its DApp ecosystem had surpassed Ethereum in nearly all aspects. DApps is entering a brand-new era.
Taking EOSBet for an example, Zicen analyzed advantages and prospects that an EOS-based DApp or games specifically could have. Being founder of HelloEOS, Zicen expressed intents to provide resources and firm support for projects in EOS ecosystem as much as they can.
In response to the “Game Platform with Huobi EOS” session, he concluded as follows:
· Blockchain will enable game assets to have unprecedented liquidity.
· Resources and supports (including exchanges, capital aggregation, users, developers, communities, etc.) are major factors for public chains to win the competition.
· In Blockchain 3.0, EOS still has no rivals.
· It is a side prove of the attractive power EOS possessed that Huobi established their EOS exchange.
Collision between traditional game industry and blockchain technology had become the theme of MARVELS Seoul 2019. EOS, standing for Enterprise Operating System with high performance, is a natural fit for gaming, which triggered great interests among Korean e-sports manufacturers and developers.
Along with the growth of ecosystem, an increasing number of top-level gaming manufacturers would be developing their businesses based on EOS. We believe it’s a win-win for both industries.
Afterwards, HelloEOS, WBS Marvels, and NiX reached an agreement of strategic partnership cooperation. We will jointly focus on project incubation, technical support, media and community resources, aiming to accelerate the expansion of Korean e-sports and game industry within EOS ecosystem.
