Tezos will allow Ubisoft to reduce energy consumption

The company has explained that this technology allows them to use less energy than proof-of-protocol systems while yielding similar results.
Tezos transactions are better for the environment because they amount to 39 seconds of video streaming. However, a transaction through Bitcoin amounts to a year of video streaming. Ubisoft is now making plans with Ultra, a distribution company, to utilize the UOS blockchain for its titles.
