Ubisoft Captain Laserhawk: Redefining dynamic NFTs for onchain gaming
What is TEE?
In the never-ending story of blockchain, aleph.im, in collaboration with Ubisoft, is pushing the boundaries of what NFTs can do. This partnership introduces a new era for NFTs, moving from static, one-time minted assets to dynamic, evolving digital items with decentralized metadata management.
The Evolution of NFTs with aleph.im and twentysix
At the core of this vision is aleph.im’s decentralized infrastructure, renowned for its scalability, security, and flexibility, providing the backbone for Ubisoft Captain Laserhawk new ambitious game.

Dynamic Metadata on aleph.im
Traditional NFTs often depend on static metadata stored on IPFS or centralized servers, which limits flexibility and transparency. Captain Laserhawk’s integration with aleph.im tackles these issues by facilitating dynamic metadata generation through a decentralized system:
Key Features of the virtual machine:
• Default NFT Metadata: Each NFT starts with a predefined metadata structure.
• Dynamic Updates: Metadata can be altered post-minting for individual tokens or the entire collection, enabling features like real-time score updates or evolving digital art.
• Integration with external data: Certain metadata fields can connect to external servers to reflect real-world changes or interactions, like updating an "Eden score" based on user activity or external data feeds.
The Future of NFT metadata management
This service, operating on aleph's serverless infrastructure, is a FastAPI application that dynamically generates and updates NFT metadata. It adheres to standards like ERC-7572 for contract-level metadata but goes beyond by allowing dynamic updates and integrating external data sources. This not only enhances the flexibility of NFTs but also their interaction potential with real-world data or user actions.
Implementation Highlights:
• API Endpoints: Allow fetching both contract and individual token metadata, as well as listing overrides or updates applied to tokens.
• Security: Only updates signed by the contract owner are valid, ensuring control over metadata changes.
• Decentralization: By leveraging aleph.im's infrastructure, the metadata management remains decentralized, enhancing transparency and resilience.
Conclusion
Ubisoft’ collaboration with aleph.im is setting a new standard for NFTs. By making metadata dynamic, integrating with emerging blockchain services like ENS, and solving technical challenges with innovative solutions, they are not only enhancing the functionality of NFTs but also their potential applications in gaming, art, and beyond. This project exemplifies how blockchain technology can continue to evolve, offering new possibilities for digital ownership and interaction.
