The Xaya team has learned from the past and preventing botting is one major focus nowadays of course. Can you be 100% sure, it won't happen again? I don't think so. With how fast tech and AI is developing, there is no guarantee. But rest assured, that everything is done to make it as hard as possible for bots to dominate the game. And in the first major game to get released this year, bots will have a very hard time imo
Today it was announced that Square Enix invested in Soccerverse, a Xaya-based fully decentralized, fully on-chain football management game.
