XPLA is a Tendermint-based Layer 1 blockchain that serves as a hub for digital media content. Embracing the concept of 'Explore and Play,' XPLA supports a wide range of digital content and offers a blockchain gaming infrastructure within a sustainable ecosystem. ^[1]

Overview

XPLA Chain is an open-source blockchain that supports decentralized applications (dApps) and advanced developer tools. Based on Tendermint, it uses Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) consensus to resist double-spend attacks and tolerate up to one-third of faulty nodes. The XPLA Chain can connect with other blockchains via IBC and the COSMOS SDK, making it developer-friendly. It features proof-of-stake consensus, Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility, and an SDK for game developers. The chain offers extensive DeFi and Play-to-Own (P2O) gaming experiences and facilitates the transition from Web 2 to Web 3. Its native token, XPLA, is used for governance and staking.  ^[1][2]

XPLA fosters a sustainable blockchain gaming ecosystem with 'Play to Own' values, respecting gamers' ownership and efforts. It has onboarded IPs like The Walking Dead: All-Stars, Summoners War: Chronicles, MiniGame Party, Ace Fishing: Crew, and the first cross-chain game, Idle Ninja Online. ^[1][2]

ISAE 3000 Type 2

In January 2024, XPLA received an ISAE 3000 certification, a global standard for internal controls, sustainability, and compliance with laws and regulations, ensuring rigorous management of information systems and data processing processes. Organizations must establish appropriate internal control (COSO) procedures for secure service provision and operation. XPLA focuses on network integrity and stability, prioritizing the security and stability of ecosystem services. The XPLA Foundation's ISAE 3000 Type 2 certification ensures effective internal controls for its service operations. ^[3]

ISAE 3000 Type 2 certification is issued after independent audits evaluate internal controls' effectiveness over time. Blockchain technology offers advantages in maintaining decentralized transaction records and user privacy. Ensuring the blockchain network's reliability is essential to leverage these benefits. Obtaining ISAE 3000 certification indicates that a blockchain mainnet effectively manages security and stability through robust internal controls. ^[3]

XPLA Vault

XPLA Vault, part of XPLA Chain, is a platform for swaps, governance, and staking. Users can manage XPLA coins, participate in governance, and vote on proposals. It is a versatile wallet that supports various digital assets on the XPLA blockchain and is optimized for gaming. Security measures include audited smart contracts, cold storage for fund security, and KYC/AML verification. The wallet features a straightforward interface and supports assets such as XPLA tokens, ETH, USDC, and NFTs. ^[4][5]

XPLA GAMES

Originally called C2X, XPLA GAMES is a blockchain gaming platform that enhances the Web3 gaming experience on XPLA. The platform has introduced significant innovations to improve user engagement, including a revamped wallet that allows management and transfer of tokens, coins, and NFTs, along with game asset conversion capabilities. ^[6]

XPLA GAMES aims to offer users a range of features designed to enrich the gaming experience within the XPLA ecosystem. It serves as a vibrant hub in the Web3 gaming space, highlighted by the introduction of the "Game Launcher" system. Formerly known as the "Beta Game Launcher," this system has been rebranded to streamline user onboarding and eliminate the perceived limitations of "Beta." This feature enables users to participate in the onboarding and early access of games before their official release on the XPLA ecosystem. ^[6]

XPLA GAMES consolidates various applications into a unified brand site, providing insights into game characteristics, airdrops, and planned systems for the Web3 gaming environment. As part of this rebranding effort, XPLA GAMES is set to integrate systems such as XATP and Dynamic NFT from the XPLA mainnet, enhancing its functionality and appeal to gaming enthusiasts. ^[6]
