They can be indoors for a whole day gaming for the fun of it without any regrets.
_Have you ever paused to consider that the life we are living is a game with different level ups? And the game called life was created by a top-notch graphic designer, designed for massively multiple players? I used to fantasize about this as a game freak lol._
Imagine being able to create your own virtual world in the form of a game where you practically live in, and you can invite your friends to come and experience the world of your creation, on the blockchain?

The development of Chimaera dates back four years – when Hunter coin was developed in 2014.
Hunter coin was the first decentralized peer-to-peer massively multiplayer online game (MMOG) on the blockchain with an open source cryptocurrency similar to bitcoin, allowing players to earn coins in a virtual universe for the use of their game strategy and teamwork.
Hunter coin made waves and was the fastest growing altcoin at that time reaching $1m within the first three days of trading.
# By the way, do you what [chimaera](https://chimaera.io/) is?
[chimaera](https://chimaera.io/) is the solution to a life dream of fantasy for gamers and developers empowering virtual reality on the blockchain.
According to their white paper V1.11 released in January 2018
>Just imagine, being inside a decentralized autonomous universe,
Unstoppable and secure. Interacting on the blockchain itself and
Communicating securely over encrypted text or voice. Imagine
Owning your own virtual apartment that you can sell or trade for
Real world value, or even share the keys (symbolic of encryption
Keys) with a friend.
[chimaera](https://chimaera.io/) is that platform that hopes to reward open source contribution from game developers, where they create games, host them and can trade their games to gamers all around the globe at a cost affordable to the buyer.

[chimaera](https://chimaera.io/) hopes to achieve this by
* Enabling developers to create provably fair-games in a decentralized autonomous universe.
>“with blockchain technology, gaming suddenly becomes open, transparent, portable and extensible”.
A Decentralized autonomous universe (DAU) can represent anything from a neighborhood or a city to a planet, galaxy, or an infinite universe
* Build a blockchain based gaming ecosystem.

Blockchain games represent a great opportunity within the blockchain and gaming industry. Video gaming is now a mainstream leisure or recreational activity. Video games have gradually been incorporated into daily life across the globe on computers, consoles and pocket devices and a new gaming ecosystem is gradually building up.
* Provide developers with tools for asset trading for new and existing games.

Developers could create fully decentralized, autonomous games where players can expect 100% uptime and have provably fair gameplay with true ownership of their in-game items with a reward of CHI token (the reserve currency and “fuel” in the Chimaera ecosystem)
* Provide a full- scale virtual asset trading platform.
The Chimaera team hopes to achieve this by leveraging on a blockchain secured by proof-of-work (POW). Intellectual property would be ensured by these great innovations.
# Atomic transactions
It will allow trustless trading of game items, game-specific currencies and whole game accounts for CHI Tokens between a developer and a gamer.
# Game channels
this is an extension of the payment channels in Bitcoin
that can be applied to game moves between multiple players off the blockchain.

# Ephemeral timestamps
This will help to solve the conflicts that may arise in the game channels helping to restore honesty during transactions.
By leveraging on the blockchain, a chain of virtual distribution could evolve where transactions take place daily bypassing the problem of scaling previously experienced by gamers on the blockchain .
With the arrival of chimaera, gaming already looks promising on the blockchain, online gaming will change from the duel between you and your friends after school, to becoming one of the fastest-growing industries in the world.
[chimaera](https://chimaera.io/) hopes to empower a large proportion of new developers who are financially handicapped by providing a marketing platform for them to sell their games to gamers, it also gives gamers a platform to earn real paychecks from doing what they know how to do best in the gaming world.
