The Hemis blockchain platform, powered by its core innovation, PTX technology (Probabilistic Transactions), marks a significant departure from existing blockchain platforms that are popular with game developers.
Hemis’ PTX technology streamlines the creation of chance-based games by circumventing the complexity of smart contracts. PTX simplifies game development and participation by allowing transactions to be directly submitted to the Mempool alongside a designated wager ID.
Once game transactions are in the mempool, a community owned network of Gamemasters use a provably fair and secure method to determine the winner of each game round and process the transactions.
Using PTX and the Gamemaster network to settle game moves and wagers at consensus level without requiring complicated code or contracts, opens up new possibilities for the creation, monetisation and playing of existing and yet to be invented digital games that incorporate elements of randomity and chance.
Distinctive Features of Hemis
Simplified Game Creation and Operation
Hemis eliminates the reliance on complex smart contracts for the simplest games, a common necessity on platforms like Ethereum, Solana, and EOS. This not only reduces the barrier to entry for game developers and players but also fosters a more spontaneous and inclusive gaming environment.
Reduced Transaction Costs
By bypassing traditional smart contract mechanisms, Hemis significantly lowers transaction fees associated with game creation, participation, and operation. This contrasts sharply with other blockchain platforms, where fees for deploying and triggering smart contracts can be prohibitively high, deterring spontaneous creation and playing of new game ideas.
Focused on Popular, Simple Games
While many blockchain gaming projects aim to deliver complex and depth-filled experiences, Hemis identifies and fills a niche for simpler, widely-loved games. High volume, simple engaging games of chance. This strategic focus taps into a broader market, often overlooked yet brimming with potential players and developers.
Unique Economic Incentives
Hemis introduces a novel economic model that benefits Gamemaster operators through block rewards, incentivizes game developers with fees and the ability to set fair house edges, and enhances player engagement through transparent and verifiable fairness. This ecosystem creates a symbiotic relationship between all community participants, fostering growth and sustainability.
Streamlined Access and Integration
Hemis will champion accessibility through a mobile game wallet, in-browser gaming, and a simple platform agnostic API. This ensures a seamless experience for users across different devices and operating systems, lowering the technical barriers to entry and engagement.
Competitive Advantages Over Rivals
Hemis’s true potential lies in its combination of technological simplicity, economic incentives, and a focus on accessibility and fairness. Unlike its competitors, Hemis provides:
A Lower Barrier to Entry
Gamers, enthusiasts and developers can easily engage with the platform without navigating the complex landscape of smart contracts.
Economical Transaction Fees
The removal of multiple fee layers associated with contract game operations on other platforms makes Hemis more economical for users.
Market Niche Focus
By concentrating on simple, popular games such as dice, card and board games, Hemis addresses a significant yet underserved market segment in blockchain gaming.
Provably Fair Transactions
With fairness, verification and transparency at its core, Hemis ensures that every game outcome can be verified, building trust within its community.
Robust Community and Economic Model
Hemis is launching a Decentralised Autonomous Organisation (DAO) in Q1 2025, creating a community based democracy that will be able to self fund development of the Hemis ecosystem. The platform’s design encourages participation and investment from game developers, Gamemaster operators, and players, creating a self-sustaining ecosystem.
