Chinese search engine Baidu has unveiled on Thursday the first locally-developed blockchain-based knowledge quiz application Duyuzhou, which translates Du Universe in English.
The Du Universe quiz will build a digital universe consisting of planets, gravitation, and elements. The app will allow users to collect these elements by participating in the quiz; the collected elements can be monetized as users are given incentives when they expand or create their own planets.
In the process of creating quality content and expanding its user base, Baidu plans to add many new features to the games. Baidu will issue a Duyuzhou token as the core element of incentives for users with a common goal of creating a knowledge community.
The “Quiz” part of Duyuzhou will satisfy the competitive needs of knowledge sharers and allow consumers to participate in activities through quiz. The World Cup quiz activities was opened yesterday, which football fans can participate in the Duyuzhou app.
While it has been revealed that the game will launch next week, further details regarding the game itself is yet to be disclosed.
The only statement that the company released is,
“Du Yuzhou is not to launch another cryptocurrency, but a digital society experiment.”
Baidu has been active in the blockchain field since 2018. It released a blockchain-based photo service platform called totem in April. It uses the blockchain copyright registration network independently developed by Baidu to provide a one-stop service for the right confirmation, monitoring, and right protection for photo usages.
