However, it still plays a major part in Champions Tactics. The game starts you with a handful of free temporary figurines to start you off but you’ll need to buy your own NFTs to compete using in-game currency or cryptocurrency that can reach into the…

As ZachXBT has pursued that career as a crypto vigilante, he has also kept his mask firmly in place. Online, he appears only as his avatar, a kind of platypus cartoon figure in a detective's trench coat or sometimes a hoodie. To avoid retaliation from his many enemies in the world of crypto criminals and con artists, he has never publicly shown his face nor revealed his real name or exact age and would only speak to WIRED on the condition that I not try to dig up those identifying details.On some of their early conference calls, McGill says, ZachXBT…

L'idée des smart contracts n'est pas nouvelle. Le concept a été théorisé pour la première fois par Nick Szabo, un informaticien et cryptographe, en 1994. Il a imaginé un système de "contrats numériques" qui pourraient s'exécuter automatiquement sans l'intervention d'un tiers de confiance. Cependant, il a fallu attendre l'avènement de la technologie blockchain pour que les smart contracts deviennent une réalité. La blockchain est un registre distribué et sécurisé qui permet de stocker et de vérifier des transactions de manière transparente. Cette technologie offre un environnement idéal pour l'exécution de smart contracts, car elle garantit la sécurité et l'immuabilité des…
