The structure that protects BUFF’s gamer reward system from fraud

BUFF is changing the world of gaming. It’s giving game publishers new customers, more exposure and a new revenue stream while gamers get an upgrade to their screen time. How? With BUFF’s loyalty system for gamers — and it’s virtually fraud-proof to boot.

Here’s how it works: gamers are given BUFF coins, a cryptocurrency, just for gaming as they normally would. The more you play, the more coins you get; the more achievements you unlock and victories you mark, the more you’ll be rewarded. BUFF coins can then be spent on virtual items across platforms. Just because you made the coins in one game doesn’t mean you can’t spend it in another. Purchases to unlock levels or upgrade your character that used to be made with real cash can be made instead with BUFF coins you earned just for playing.

This new incentive is breaking down a serious entry barrier for many who would rather keep their pocket change than spend it on a game to pass the time. Publishers are finding new audiences this way, while even veteran players have a good reason to play more, increasing brand exposure and reach.

To top it all off, the processes at work behind the scenes are setting a reliable standard against any fraud attempts that could otherwise jeopardize this huge leap forward. This is accomplished in several ways, all made possible by the technology of blockchain.

The BUFF Analytics Service is the core AI of the BUFF ecosystem and serves as the genesis node of the BUFF blockchain. Using machine learning, the Analytics Service improves itself based on analyzed data and triggers protocol updates to the system. Part of its job is to recognize and identify possible instances of fraud — an ability that improves over time and keeps itself up-to-date based on experience.

This feature of the Analytics Service is known as advanced anomaly detection and the methods it uses have already been successfully applied in many real-world situations like fraud detection for credit cards and intrusion detection in security. While few studies of anomaly detection have been done in the gaming industry, BUFF is ahead of the curve in information thanks to its partnership with Overwolf, an industry giant with a robust and advanced system of gathering in-dame data statistics.

Finally, BUFF ensures the highest level of fraud security with a Delegated Proof of Stake (DPOS) consensus model playfully called “Proof of Play.” DPOS consensus gives BUFF several advantages, including the ability to perform 3,000 transactions per second, but most important of all, it makes acts of manipulation that much harder buy making proof of work far more secure.

BUFF’s vision is to be fully integrated in popular games throughout the industry. Game publishers just need to submit a request for the creation of a Game Data Oracle that will be used to achieve consensus between the BUFF blockchain and the game. With the proper security and potential for growth, it’s time for gaming to change with BUFF.
