The patent, introduced in China, mentions that the creation of these characters will be randomized, thanks to the introduction of a gene sequence responsible for determining the character’s appearance. The part that talks about blockchain in the patent is about storing the created character.
Xiaomi wants to be included in the blockchain ecosystem
Many companies are incorporating their new products into blockchain technology because of its decentralized and immutable features. Xiaomi also wants to take its place in this technology. The patent titled “Virtual Character Processing Method, Device and Storage Media”, which was introduced in January, was recently announced by the company.
In the patent, the company determined that its own virtual characters would be created using different gene sequences to identify images that would identify these characters. The method focuses on making each of the characters unique and unpredictable. Although no explanation is given, this method can be used by Xiaomi to create its own metaverse experience.

The part that talks about blockchain in the patent is about storing the created character. According to the filing, the characters will use this decentralized ledger technology to store their gene sequences, thus protecting them from unique combination attacks.
Let us remind you that this is not the first time Xiaomi has interacted with the crypto world. In 2018, the company launched its first NFT collection called ‘Crypto Rabbits’. Later, the project was shelved due to its low popularity.
