The role of blockchain technology in shaping the future of the gaming industry?

• Digital Collectables
• Fair and Transparent Gameplay
• Trustless in-games asset transfers

Blockchain technology is all about democratizing power and giving users control over their assets transparently.

Can blockchains support Random Number Generators?

Building a Random Number Generator (RNG) has always been a challenge in Computer Science. Although we have found suitable solutions, we cannot yet consider RNGs to be truly random. This problem is further complicated in a blockchain, where everything is made more transparent.

WAX Blockchain offers a decentralized RNG service which can power provably fair mechanics for thousands of games and apps.

Do blockchains scare investors and is it hard to get funding?

In recent years, investments in blockchain solutions have been growing, albeit slowly. In the last 48 hours, WAX has announced 75 million WAX tokens (~$2 million) fund (a.k.a Treasure Chest) as part of the WAX Labs initiative. This is a kind of Worker Proposal System (WPS) solution, which allows developers to raise funds to develop new solutions and applications above the WAX blockchain.
