As mentioned before in a previous announcement, the technical members of the GameCredits Foundation have been busy analysing the Qlear Protocol for a potential integration. Readers have been asking: what is QLEAR?

The Qlear Protocol is a blockchain based solution solving trust issues with current online gaming platforms. Instead of giving away control over funds by depositing them and trusting the centralized operator to en-force fairness, Qlear proposes a solution where players can inject, for example, randomness and verify fairness of every game played. Qlear achieves a fluid user experience by departing from rootchain dApps whilst harnessing sidechains for lower fees, higher throughput and faster confirmations. Fairness of games and confidentiality of a player’s information is enforced via multiparty computation (MPC). Instead of one entity controlling execution of a game and possessing all the data, several entities jointly execute the game and possess only partial information so that no player data can be leaked during the game.

As you can see, Qlear and GameCredits definitely have a common goal: decentralizing gaming on every possible platform. This is why the GameCredits Foundation & Qlear have decided to go further into this integration on the following 2 fronts:

  • Integration of the GameCredits API into the Qlear Protocol, which will allow the ecosystem to be able to spend and earn GameCredits.
  • Creation of a two-way coin swap mechanism between GameCredits and Qlear tokens. This two-way swap allows people who possess GameCredits to be involved with more of the Qlear Protocol’s ecosystem. Vice versa, people in the Qlear ecosystem will be able to swap their Qlear tokens for GameCredits in order to gain access to the GameCredits ecosystem.

The benefits are more than Qlear for both sides of the coin::

  • The GameCredits network benefits from an increased number of transactions, because GAME will receive access into an entirely new ecosystem. More transactions will also bring more users into the GameCredits ecosystem.
  • Qlear, on the other hand benefits from further access into the crypto-community and is able to tap into the gaming industry via GameCredits.

Steven Weusten, CEO and Co-Founder of Qlear is very excited for the partnership and says, “This is a major step towards building the decentralized ecosystem for game developers and players alike. Our vision is very much aligned with that of the GameCredits community and we couldn’t imagine a more exciting partnership to really showcase the Qlear protocol.”

Ivica Simatovic, Co-Founder and former CEO at GameCredits agrees and adds: “The world is moving so fast these days that those who say it can’t be done are generally interrupted by someone doing it. — synergy between Qlear Protocol and GameCredits is one of a kind, solving problems and leading crypto gaming into the future.”

Eric Benz, President and Co-Founder of Qlear has built some exciting businesses to date and has been looking at working with the GameCredits team for the past 3 years and now its more than Qlear. “Nobody really understands what’s under the hood when it comes to blockchain and it’s our job to make everything Qlear. We are looking to solve a billion dollar problem inside a multi-billion dollar industry and we understand exactly what is required in order to make this technology clear and enterprise grade.”

Joshua Bijak, Qlear’s CTO and Kalin Stoyanchev, Lead Communicator are more than thrilled with the partnership and had this to say: “On a technical front this makes a lot of sense and it will be a fun exercise to build everything planned. We feel confident that Qlear technology will make the GameCredits ecosystem really come to life! The technical team at the GameCredits Foundation is thrilled to work with such a team of talented, fun, and optimistic people. Every second we spend working gets us all closer towards realizing the original dream of becoming a universal currency for gamers worldwide. We expect this to be one of many integrations to come.

GameCredits Foundation and Qlear expect to have things ready by Q4 2018 when GAME will be used in the Qlear Protocol MVP.
