With Project Awakening, the Icelandic MMO studio CCP Games is now exploring blockchain technology to create a unique, community-driven experience. The project aims to leverage blockchain’s robustness and distributed development capabilities while open-sourcing its Carbon engine to encourage player participation in world creation.

The experimentation does not affect the original Tranquility server (“there’s no reason to change the database as it is”) but CCP has a small team looking to leverage the capabilities of blockchain. In fact, they started looking at Bitcoin and its Lightning Network as early as 2015.
