IOST X ATTN: Exploring the application of blockchain technology in the e-Sports

As one of the four major public chains, IOST attaches great importance to the development of online games. Unlike other public chains, IOST focuses on working with popular and credible game developer teams to create more truly playable high-quality blockchain games for the IOST ecosystem and provide a full range of professional support for its technology, media, community, and DApp operations.

IOST uses a JavaScript language that is more suitable for rapid iteration of game logic and implements flexible storage and interaction of data through JSON. In addition, IOST’s developer documentation and developer tools are also very complete and easy to use. Compared with the traditional mainstream public chains that are not suitable for complex logic, IOST is more friendly to game development.

ATTN, as the world’s first e-sports digital gaming platform ecosystem, has rich resources, experience & advantages in traditional game players, CP, traffic, and webcasters.

For e-Sports, ATTN has a LOL ace team — EVOS ESPORTS.

EVOS ESPORTS is a Vietnamese League of Legends team established in May 2017. After the establishment of the team, it recruited some former Saigon clown players, as well as two members who participated in the Brazilian MSI — top player Stark and ADC player Slay. In the 2018 VCS spring season, EVOS ESPORTS was a blockbuster and achieved first place with a record of 12–2. After that, in 2019, EVOS also showed strong dominance in the new season and met with another strong team — GAM and eventually won.

For blockchain gaming development, ATTN is committed to breaking down the barriers between blockchain games and traditional games, drawing the essence from excellent traditional games, and integrating them into the design of blockchain games to introduce more features and better playability to blockchain gaming. The main goals are to include the rich gameplay of traditional games to the blockchain games, improve the gaming system, lower user experience threshold, and the rapid spread of blockchain games, enhancing the economic advantages of tokens. At the same time, relying on its rich traditional resource advantages, ATTN will bring more fresh ideas to the blockchain gaming ecosystem.

IOST made a strategic investment in ATTN and will jointly explore the development of blockchain applications in the field of e-Sports. In the future, ATTN will fully support the development of IOST blockchain games, and work with IOST to create a leading blockchain gaming ecosystem.
