XAYA WHITE PAPER - v2.04 THE ULTIMATE BLOCKCHAIN GAMING PLATFORM

introduction

Our Vision
“Decentralised Realities”
Imagine countless millions of players competing and cooperating in decentralised virtual realities 
that run serverless and unstoppable. In provably fair environments, they use their skill and intelligence 
to harvest resources and acquire rare artefacts that hold significant real world value. 
What if developers could provide autonomous, decentralised worlds, rich in tradable virtual 
items for gamers? What if developers could go from concept to game release in less time and 
for less money without worrying about infrastructure costs (such as servers) and recurring 
costs (such as account administration)? What if we could offer true ownership, simple and safe 
trading methods for gamers to convert virtual items into real world value through an entirely 
flexible system? What if both gamers and developers could share in a win-win outcome with 
both able to capitalise on new revenue streams and participate in thriving new economies? 
What if we could realise a substantial and growing demand for a cryptocurrency, increasing its 
utility and value for users? 
XAYA will achieve all of this through a single, custom, blockchain-based platform that is able to 
provide:
 Truly decentralised massively multiplayer Decentralised Realities (DRs)
 True and fair virtual item ownership with simple and safe trading and sharing
 Rapid and cost effective game concept to market for a wide range of new massively 
multiplayer games and games in general
introduction
Just imagine, being inside a decentralised reality, unstoppable and 
secure. Interacting on the blockchain itself and communicating 
securely over encrypted text or voice. Imagine owning your own 
virtual apartment that you can sell or trade for real world value, or 
even share the keys (symbolic of encryption keys) with a friend.

A New Frontier
What is being proposed here is gaming using the blockchain to provide a secure, decentralised, 
autonomous, and flexible platform upon which a variety of games can be built.
This is a new frontier in both cryptocurrency and blockchain based gaming, but it is not an 
unknown frontier. In 2013, the XAYA team developed and successfully deployed the Huntercoin 
experiment. This achieved a number of world firsts including, but not limited to:
 The world’s first decentralised massively multiplayer game
 The world’s first game world built entirely on the blockchain
 The world’s first human mining permissible cryptocurrency
Huntercoin was a proof of concept to develop solutions to the technical challenges and to test 
the market. Huntercoin was successful and within just a few months of launch achieved over 
35,000 simultaneously controlled characters
 in the game despite a low profile launch, and 
despite requiring some specialist hardware (i.e. solid state drives, which were uncommon at 
the time) and a reasonable level of technical know-how from the gamer. Huntercoin was largely 
autonomous and required no servers or other infrastructure. It achieved a market capitalisation 
of over $1 million in the first few weeks
, putting it as a top crypto currencies of the time by 
market cap, and peaked to around $10 million in 2017
. The Huntercoin experiment served its 
purpose several years ago and provided a number of world leading insights into blockchain 
technology, including publication in the blockchain journal ‘Ledger’.
The XAYA platform builds upon the significant know-how developed across Namecoin and the 
Huntercoin experiment and will provide a wealth of tools and infrastructure for game developers 
to build their own game worlds that fit their vision and project. They can fully leverage the XAYA 
technology to build decentralised games and issue their own game currency that can be traded 
for ‘CHI’ or other XAYA game coins or assets.
