French video game company Ubisoft will become a major validator of the Tezos blockchain as it joins the ecosystem as a ‘corporate baker’.

In an announcement shared with The Daily Chain, Ubisoft unveiled its participation as a corporate baker within the Tezos ecosystem. The French video game publisher confirmed that it will be using its own data centres to validate blocks for the Tezos blockchain.

Ubisoft’s Strategic Innovation Lab is responsible for the company’s latest foray into blockchain technology as it looks to stay abreast with innovative technologies. Ubisoft intends to experiment with the liquid proof-of-stake consensus algorithm that operates the Tezos blockchain. 

The hopes are that this technology may prove useful in the future of gaming and be integrated as a result as Ubisoft’s Blockchain Initiative Director Nicolas Pouard explained in a statement.

“We’re happy to be joining the Tezos ecosystem as a corporate baker. Ubisoft believes that blockchain has the potential to bring new possibilities to players and developers alike, and this new collaboration will allow us to pursue our innovation efforts with an ecosystem that aligns with our environmental-friendly approach thanks to its proof-of-stake consensus algorithm,” Pouard said.

Ubisoft will receive support from research and development firm Nomadic Labs, which has played a big role in the development of the Tezos blockchain’s core software and its native smart-contract language Michelson.

Previous experience in the field

Ubisoft hasn’t been shy to dip a toe in the world of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology and has previously put its data centers to work validating a blockchain network.

In March 2020 Ubisoft partnered with gaming distribution platform Ultra, which is a sidechain of the EOS blockchain. Ubisoft acted as a corporate block producer on the testnet version of Ultra’s blockchain called UOS. 

Ubisoft was responsible for validating transactions on the UOS blockchain, some of which included in-game asset creation, payments and transfers between users.

The firm has also been involved in the Decentralized Finance space, having launched several blockchain-based digital collectibles based on the popular children’s television show Rabbids.

The project raised funds for the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF).
