1. What is EOT？
A: In short, EOT is a blockchain gaming protocol. The pain point for Dgame (decentralized game) development is that developers have to learn blockchain technologies and new programming languages to build a game on public chains like Ethereum, Quarkchain, EOS etc. They have to learn how to support multiple cryptocurrencies and digital assets. While with the help of EOT, they can build Dgames much easier and faster.

2. What's your game Crypto Alpaca？
A: CryptoAlpaca was our first Dgame. We launched it 5 months ago. CryptoAlpaca is a blockchain-based virtual simulation game. Inspired by "CryptoKitties", players can raise and breed their very own Alpaca, feeding and shearing it to gain rewards.
3. How long have you been working on this?
A: We've been developing and operating this for 5 months.
4. How does EOT works?
A: The DGame framework is a layer 2 solution with on-chain/off-chain architecture. It can perform payments or transfer of digital assets with high speed and low cost. It's similar to Bitcoin's Lightning Network and Ethereum's Raiden Network, but with several improvements to be a less cost, low latency, high throughput, secure, cross-chain and privacy-concerned solution. DGame framework performs its high performance and secure transactions between participants off-chain and defers the final transaction confirmation on-chain. This is achieved using digital signature and hashed timelock contracts (HTLC), fully locked by previously set on-chain deposits. This concept, illustrated in Figure 1, is known as payment channel technology. Payment channel (or micropayment channel) is one of the techniques designed to allow users to make multiple token transactions without committing all of the transactions to the blockchain. In a typical payment channel, unlimited or nearly unlimited number of payments can be made between the participants except for an initial one-time on-chain establishment and an eventual channel settlement. In addition, payments can be routed across more than one blockchain (including altcoins and sidechains) as long as all the chains support the same hash function to use for the hash lock, as well as the ability to create hashed timelock.
