This game was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in February 2019, and for Nintendo Switch in March 2021. A mobile version of the game specially designed for touchscreens titled Apex Legends Mobile has also been announced which is scheduled to be fully released by 2022 on Android and iOS. The game supports cross-platform play.

Before the match, players form into two- or three-player squads, and select from pre-designed characters with distinctive abilities, known as "Legends". The game has two gameplay modes. In "Battle Royale", up to 20 three-person squads or 30 two-person duos land on an island and search for weapons and supplies before attempting to defeat all other players in combat. The available play area on the island shrinks over time, forcing players to keep moving or else find themselves outside the play area which can be fatal. The final team alive wins the round. In "Arenas", players form into three-player squads and fight against another squad in a 3v3 team deathmatch over a series of rounds to determine the winner of the match. Teams win when their team has at least 3 points and is 2 points ahead.

Apex Legends is set in the same science fiction universe as Respawn Entertainment's Titanfall series, with several characters from the Titanfall series appearing either as minor characters or playable Legends. Work on the game began around late 2016, though the project remained a secret right up until its launch. The game's release in 2019 came as a surprise, as until that point it had been assumed that Respawn Entertainment was working on a third installment to the Titanfall franchise, the studio's previous major game. Apex Legends received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its gameplay, progression system, and fusion of elements from various genres. Some considered it a worthy competitor to other battle royale games. Apex Legends surpassed 25 million players by the end of its first week, and 50 million within its first month. By April 2021, it had approximately 100 million players making it one of the most played video games of all time by player count.

Gameplay

Apex Legends is an online multiplayer battle royale game featuring squads of three players using pre-made characters with distinctive abilities, called "Legends", similar to those of hero shooters. Alternate modes have been introduced allowing for single and for two-player squads since the game's release. The game is free-to-play and monetized through microtransactions and loot boxes, which allow the player to spend both real money and in-game currency on cosmetic items, such as outfits for the Legends and new colors for weapons.

Each match generally features twenty teams of three-player squads. Players can join friends in a squad or can be matched randomly with other players. Before the match, each player on the squad selects one of the 19 playable characters (as of season 11), with the exception that no character may be selected more than once by a squad. Each character in the squad has a unique design, personality, and abilities that provide different playstyles to the team. All teams are then placed on an aircraft that passes over the game map. One player in each squad is the jumpmaster, selecting when the squad should skydive out of the aircraft and where to land with the concurrence of the other squad members. However, players are free to deviate from the squad's path.

Once on the ground, the squad can scavenge for weapons, armor, and other equipment that is scattered around buildings, or in crates randomly distributed around the map, while keeping an eye out for other squads. Apex Legends includes a nonverbal communication "ping system" which allows players to use their game controller to communicate to their squad certain directions, weapon locations, enemies, and suggested strategies. While the game offers movement options similar to other shooters, it includes some of the gameplay features of previous Titanfall games, such as the ability to climb over short walls, slide down inclined surfaces, and use zip-lines to traverse an area quickly.

Over time, the game's safe zone will reduce in size around a randomly-selected point on the map; players outside the safe zone take damage and may die if they do not reach the safe zone in time. This also confines squads to smaller spaces to force encounters. The last squad with any members left alive is crowned the "Apex Champions" of that match. Players who become knocked down in the course of a game can be revived by their squadmates. Should a player be killed completely, they can still be resurrected if their team member(s) collect their respawn banner, which appears at the place where they died, and bring it to one of several beacons on the island. The banner, however, must be collected within a time limit, before expiring and fully eliminating the player.[1]

Season 9 introduced a new permanent mode named "Arena". In this mode, players form into three-player squads and fight against another squad in a 3v3 team deathmatch over a series of rounds to determine the winner of the match. Teams win when their team has at least 3 points and is 2 points ahead. Additionally, if a game should drag on to round 9 (where both teams have 4 points) a final sudden death round begins. Respawn stated this scoring system "prevents total blowout games from dragging on for too long" and also "lets more competitive games keep the heat going for longer".[8] Rather than skydiving onto the map and gathering equipment like in the battle royale mode, players spawn in a "shop" where they can purchase equipment and charges of their Legend's abilities using materials earned in the previous rounds to prepare for the next fight. This variation of the game borrows mechanics from other shooters such as Counter Strike and Valorant.[9] The mode is the first permanent deviation away from the battle royale format.

Introducing Flare

•The worlds first Turing-complete FBA network

•Scalable and doesn’t base safety on a native token

•Low transaction costs

•Integrates Ethereum Virtual Machine

The Flare Network is a distributed network running the Avalanche consensus protocol adapted

to Federated Byzantine Agreement and leveraging the Ethereum Virtual Machine. It can thus be

leveraged as a scaling method for smart contract networks without relying on economic safety

mechanisms. The absence of a link between network safety and the native token, the Spark, allows for

greater flexibility as to how the native token can be used. The Spark Dependant Application model

provides a blueprint for building applications on the Flare Network. This relies on three components:

Spark used as collateral, Spark used to contribute to the Flare Time Series Oracle providing on-chain

data estimates and Spark used as a participation token in governance schemes.

Why use Umbrella network?

We provide access to data previously unavailable to blockchain developers, and at a far lower cost than any other oracle in the industry. And with over 1,200 data pairs available, we offer more data than any other oracle in the ecosystem.

The Network Explained.

Umbrella Network is a community owned decentralized oracle service providing secure, low cost, and massively scalable data solutions to blockchain applications.

Broad Range of Data - Umbrella provides access to data previously unavailable to smart-contract developers across multiple segments including mid and long tail crypto assets as well as real world financial data.

Native Token - At the center of the Umbrella Network is the $UMB token which helps in securing the network and is used by the community to stake, vote on key representatives, and earn rewards & user fees.

Merkle Tree advantage - Umbrella solves the scalability problem in oracles by leveraging a layer 2 solution and utilizing Merkle trees for batching transactions.

Community Ownership - The network is community owned and governed with the majority of token supply allocated to the community.

Umbrella Network uses its technology to enable massively scalable, cost effective, and secure access to outside data for blockchain developers.

Meet the Oasis Network:

Private and Scalable DeFi

By bringing privacy and scalability to DeFi, the Oasis Network expands DeFi beyond early adopters to a mass market. It enables private smart contracts, high scalability, and the ability to tokenize data. This unlocks new use cases like private lending, undercollateralized loans, and private automated market makers.

Tokenizing Data

The Oasis Network’s unique combination of confidential computing and blockchain enables a new paradigm called Tokenized Data. With Tokenized Data users can earn rewards by staking their data with apps that want to analyze it or control how their most sensitive information is consumed by the services they use.

Parallel Smart Contract Layers

The Oasis ParaTime scaling architecture supports fast transaction speed, high scalability, and large workloads by separating execution from consensus. Anyone can create their own ParaTime, allowing for the Oasis Network to support a rich ecosystem of applications and use cases.

Technology Highlights:

Scalable, Reliable and Versatile

The Oasis Network separates consensus and execution into two layers — the Consensus Layer and The ParaTime Layer — for better scalability and increased versatility.

Parallel Workloads

Separation of consensus and execution allows multiple ParaTimes to process transactions in parallel, meaning complex workloads processed on one ParaTime won’t slow down faster, simpler transactions on another.

Confidential Smart Contracts

The first network to support confidential smart contracts. The Oasis Eth/WASI Runtime is an open source example of a confidential ParaTime that uses secure enclaves to keep data private while being processed.

Efficient Design

The network’s unique system of discrepancy detection makes Oasis more efficient than sharding and parachains — requiring a smaller replication factor for the same level of security.

EVA is the unique financial protocol platform in the Web3 ecology that combines Layer0

network infrastructure and privacy computing framework & provides safe, reliable and

efficient network access and encrypted financial services for the Web3.0 application and DeFi ecology.
