We recently introduced to the community the concept of Blockchain Bean Assets.

In a nutshell, we presented our technical findings for a standard relating to Blockchain assets for different use cases. It can be very beneficial to the video game industry and other verticals.

We believe it is important to separate the concept of asset ownership (that can be recorded on a Blockchain) and the content of an asset (either shared through P2P solutions or distributed storage, even on a central server).

Why a BBA Visualizer?

When browsing game assets, say, on a marketplace, a user should be able to visualize the exact in-game content.

The asset visualizer is the solution! It’s going to be used to view, edit, and create any BBA.

What should it contain?

A user can check the asset signature and its properties. The most exciting feature of the BBA visualizer is that you can actually get a sneak peek of its “behaviour” as an image, 3D model, or as a video file, music file, etc…

Prototype demonstration

Here’s a short video showcasing a prototype of a visualizer built with Unity.

We welcome any comments, suggestions. BBA is open source and owned by its community, so let’s keep the conversation going.
