Egretia project – Uniting HTML5 and blockchain

Today, app-developers rely heavily on HTML5 technology – it’s being globally acknowledged and leveraged into Internet, mobile applications, advertising, streaming, and so on. When the blockchain has made a huge leap towards, HTML5 started being combined with smart contracts on the basis of Ethereum, which led to appearance of HTML5 games.

Why HTML5 games?

The pace of our lives is getting faster day from day, and finding an opportunity for leisure time is quite a challenge. HTML5-based games offer overwhelming experience, and this model promises to increase user engagement and attract more traffic. What makes HTML5 games attractive for the market is:

ease of use (click-and-play);
rapid transmission;
light weight;
long-term user engagement.

At the moment, the amount of HTML5 mobile games accounts for 47% entertainment mobile applications. This is a growing trend that appears to be even more profitable than advertising. What’s the role of HTML5 in all that? This technology serves as a cross-platform solution which means it can be used to develop any software and covers a lot of fields (Internet, video, games, etc).

Still far from perfect?

Despite being a revolutionary approach to the creation of mobile games, HTML5 still has a few drawbacks and problems. These include:

the absence of a global and unified environment that would ensure 100% safety;
lack of options for secure storage of users’ assets;
no mechanisms to guarantee fair game;
slow back-end communication;
poor protection of HTML5 products.

To top it off, the developers should somehow be motivated to create engaging and catching games with high-quality graphics, and there must be diversified approaches to monetization of Net traffic.

Stay ahead of competitors with blockchain

Recently, blockchain has been widely adopted in various projects. The distributed ledger makes all transactions and interaction transparent and prevents tampering. Smart contracts allow establishing trustless relationships between communicators. Decentralized storage of data makes up for a high reliability, while tokens drive easy and quick payments. What blockchain technology lacks is:

More development instruments and extension of dev community;
Agreeable cost of learning;
Extra security features for accounts and virtual wallets.

In fact, merging of HTML5 and blockchain technologies would help to eliminate the drawbacks of both. This is what Egretia is dedicated to.

What is Egretia?

In fact, Egretia team has been developing Egret technology for four years and has already managed to create 10 products on its basis and start partnership with over 200,000 programmers from various regions. The platform integrates the proprietary Egret HTML5 workflow into the blockchain layer. This way, the features of blockchain can be leveraged into all HTML5 apps so that they could support decentralized storage, smart contracts and other public chains.

How can it be used?

Egretia serves for establishing development workflow with blockchain in the foundation, and provides services and solutions for content creators, players, advertisers, and so on. Besides, the platform helps to distribute and promote games, store data, trade virtual assets, and communicate. Egretia provides the following key products:

Workflow. This is a HTML5 blockchain development kit that supplies developers with powerful and efficient tools.
Storage and distribution blockchain node allows storing data safely and reliably.
DApp. There, users can download applications and play games, perform payments and search for Egreten projects. It leverages Proof-of-Game mechanism that is used to perform payments and reward players for running games or sharing products with friends.
Market for virtual trading is used by players to buy and sell virtual goods.
Advertisement platform is a system with blockchain features, smart contracts, and virtual tokens.

Besides, there’s a service called “Incubator”: it assists programmers and establishes communication among users and developers.

Making game development easy as 1, 2, 3

Egretia was created to make HTML5 game development easier and smarter. How do developers can benefit from this platform? It supports various programming languages including JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, CSS, and Node.js, as well as different frameworks (C #, Go, C++, AngularJS, React and others). Besides, it assists programmers by reporting errors in real time, providing reference search and a myriad of other functions.

Egretia allows implementing blockchain features, for instance, smart contracts and a digital wallet. The blockchain can be accessed with a few lines of code, and the environment supports KYC (know your customer) service. What else? Developers can exploit authentication service and data communication.

About SDK token

Egretia supports payments by virtual currency using the proprietary Egreten token: it can be integrated in games, or be used for virtual trading. On May 26th, 2018, Egretia launches token sale with the crowdfunding goal of $24,300,000. One EGT token is worth $0.0099, and the company has set strict personal contribution limits minimum personal contribution is 0.1 ETH, maximum - 3 ETH. Since Egret technology is already widely acknowledged in the world, the sale is expected to finish with positive results, and the price of EGT is expected to grow considerably.

Bottom line

Egretia project solves the major problems of HTML5 game developers by implementing the best we can take from blockchain. The platform is being used by over 200,000 software creators which proves that the project has a huge potential to change the principles of mobile app development. Even if you’re not a game developer, you should definitely try the role of player, and, of course, making a small investment can turn out to be a pretty wise idea – there’s every opportunity for Egretia to outperform similar companies.
