Gaming giant Ubisoft announced Wednesday the launch of its Decentralized Verification Network, or DVN, a blockchain-based system designed to secure digital asset transfers across multiple blockchain platforms. The maker of popular games like Assassin’s Creed, Just Dance, and Far Cry collaborated with LayerZero to leverage its interoperability protocol, allowing gamers to move digital assets seamlessly across Ethereum, Solana, Polyg
“With the launch of the DVN, we are enhancing the security and scalability of our gaming platform,” said Ubisoft Executive Producer Didier Genevois, in a statement. “This solution enables us to safeguard assets and ensure their seamless transfer across chains, meeting gamers wherever they are.” The DVN aims to eliminate technical barriers for users while giving publishers control over asset security and movement. The technology establishes what Ubisoft calls a “decentralized verification layer” that maintains ownership integrity across multiple blockchain networks, potentially addressing persistent security concerns around digital assets.
“Ubisoft’s commitment to building a trustworthy, expandable omnichain ecosystem is exactly the kind of forward-thinking approach that will define the future of gaming,” said LayerZero CEO Bryan Pelligrino, in a statement. It’s easy to see why Ubisoft would be interested in such a cross-chain protocol, as the publisher has built across multiple chains over the years. Ubisoft began experimenting with blockchain years ago, and has supported numerous networks along the way.
