The most striking was the emergence of a small, but real, gaming ecosystem trying to use blockchain for the benefit of gamers. This talk aims to explain why and how Ubisoft decided to explore the blockchain's potential for games, despite the proliferation of buzzwords.The non technical part of the talk will be the occasion to share, in short, some basic advice to those who would like to explore the field by themselves.
