Blockchain Idle Game
blockchain IDLE game

This app is a competitive idle space exploring and mining game developed on the WAX blockchain. It features unique characteristics like custom crypto tokens, smart contracts, and passive missions. Furthermore, it offers idle mining, automatic or scheduled transactions, email statistics, an in-game marketplace, a periodic leaderboard, and authentication with multiple wallets. The solution provides all these features around the NFTs staked by the user.
Goal
After releasing their public collection of NFTs, our client needed an appropriate solution to increase their collection’s value and raise buyer interest. The idea was a Blockchain game where users could stake their NFTs to buy land and mine properties while earning custom crypto tokens and competing for a higher position and reward on the monthly leaderboard. Furthermore, users should be able to run custom missions, explore the collection’s multiverse, and buy specific boosts from the in-game marketplace. The client also wanted to send an email with ranking statistics periodically.
Solution
We went for a serverless software architecture to meet our client’s needs and minimize running costs. Thus, the blockchain smart contract does this instead of relying on a server to execute the business logic. Two smart contracts do it, one for the required computations and game information storage, the other for the custom alternative cryptocurrency. Furthermore, we used complex AWS, and Cloudflare features to our advantage on the business side of things.
As for the UI part, our approach is somehow standard in the web gaming industry. At the core of the application’s user experience lies a fast and scalable game engine named PhaserJs. Given the wide range of features this framework offers, the development of the UI was very predictable and steady.
