GameTrust is a blockchain-based protocol enabling players worldwide to participate in skill and real-world games with secure, transparent, and trustless staking and payout mechanisms. Leveraging Flow blockchain, Cadence smart contracts, zero-knowledge proofs, and hybrid storage, GameTrust offers seamless cross-game identity, on-chain leaderboards, verifiable results, and fair reward distribution. Its modular architecture empowers developers and game creators to build and scale diverse game experiences with standardized identity, validation, and payout components.
The global gaming ecosystem lacks a unified, transparent, and decentralized protocol for skill-based and real-world games involving financial stakes. Existing platforms are often siloed, centralized, and opaque, limiting player trust and interoperability. GameTrust solves this by providing a blockchain-native, modular framework allowing players to participate across multiple games with a single identity, while game creators configure customizable competitions that are fair, verifiable, and secure.
- Trust & Transparency: On-chain record of player results, payouts, and rankings.
- Portability: Single Flow wallet identity spans multiple games and competitions.
- Modularity: Configurable games with pluggable validation, payout, and ranking logic.
- Hybrid Storage: Use blockchain for critical data; hybrid off-chain storage (e.g., Walrus) for large or complex assets.
- Fairness: Optional zkProofs, AI-based validation, and community or designated judging to ensure fair result processing.
- Incentivization: Hosts may charge a rake; players earn rewards and reputation.
- Players authenticate and transact using their Flow blockchain wallet.
- Player profiles, global and game-specific stats, achievements, and trophies are recorded on-chain or referenced via hybrid storage.
- Optional identity extensions: NFT Passports, Soulbound Tokens (SBTs), or reputation badges.
- Users can create games with configurable parameters:
- Entry fee (e.g., USDC or BTC)
- Participant requirements (e.g., minimum rank)
- Result types (score, time, GPS proof, video evidence)
- Result validation mechanism (zkProof, AI classification, community vote, designated judge)
- Payout distribution model (winner-take-all, top-N split, time-based rewards)
- Host rake percentage
- Players submit results before game deadlines.
- Results are validated via:
- Cryptographic zkProofs for verifiable computations.
- AI-based detection services for real-world games.
- Community voting or DAO governance.
- Designated judges or oracles for manual adjudication.
- Leaderboards maintained on-chain per game and globally across games.
- Rankings influence player reputation and eligibility for higher-tier competitions.
- Support for seasonal or series competitions with aggregated scoring.
- Automated, on-chain payout of winnings upon game resolution.
- Support for multiple payout schemas configurable by game creators.
- Host rake is automatically deducted and distributed to host wallets or DAOs.
- Critical data (results, payouts, rankings) stored on Flow blockchain.
- Larger assets (proof videos, AI metadata) stored off-chain on decentralized hybrid storage like Walrus.
- On-chain references (hashes, URIs) ensure data integrity and accessibility.
GameTrust offers a simple integration layer for companies with existing user bases to leverage GameTrust’s trust and validation:
- Outsource Trust: Delegate result verification, ranking, and payout validation to GameTrust, reducing complexity.
- API Calls: Submit game configurations and results easily.
- Webhooks: Receive real-time notifications for key events (player entry, result validation, payouts).
- Data Sync: Sync on-chain verified data back to company databases and user interfaces.
- Flexible Storage: Keep enriched player data off-chain while securing critical game state on-chain.
- Cross-Platform: Compatible with web, mobile, and backend systems for seamless adoption.
- Esports & Competitive Gaming: Host skill-based tournaments with transparent staking and payouts.
- Real-World Competitions: Fishing derbies, fantasy sports leagues, speedruns with on-chain verification.
- Community-Driven Games: Games leveraging DAO voting for dispute resolution and governance.
- Hybrid Play: Games with AI or ZK-based validation for proof of play and authenticity.
