Microsoft in Crypto Sector
Earlier this year, Microsoft, the world’s second-largest company by market capitalization, announced plans to purchase Activision Blizzard. Microsoft plans to use the gaming giant to build its own metaverse, similar to how Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg renamed his social media platform to Meta.
In August last year, the company patented a cryptocurrency tool that would allow developers to create tokens “independent of the general ledger easily”. Microsoft stressed in the patent application that currently tokens “lack standardization”. Especially in situations that involve transactions between chains and the reuse of tokens. The approach described in the patent would allow developers to write code for tokens on different platforms simultaneously.
The patent seems to be aimed primarily at developers using corporate platforms rather than public blockchains. In its description, projects from this category are listed.
