Mining Space — A Fully On-Chain Game
So, what’s the fuss about on-chain gaming? And how does Mining Space, a space-themed mining game, realize fully on-chain gaming, let’s find out.
What Are On-Chain Games?
This blog post of Chainlink answers it pretty well.
On-chain gaming refers to games that operate entirely on blockchains. This means that all aspects of the game, aside from the frontend, are run solely using blockchain technology.
In contrast to traditional blockchain games, on-chain games implement game logic directly into smart contracts and store game state, such as a player’s name and rank, on the blockchain. Every element of on-chain games must be stored on-chain for the game to be considered fully on-chain.
The roots of on-chain gaming date back to 2013, and the field has continuously advanced since then. On-chain games offer unique advantages, including transparency, security, and fairness. They are still relatively niche within the Web3 ecosystem, but there are passionate community members, researchers, and developers pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in gaming using only blockchain technology.
How is Mining Space fully on-chain?
Mining Space is fully on-chain, meaning that all aspects of the game, except for the game’s user interface, are run entirely on the blockchain and realized through the use of smart contract.
This is in contrast to traditional blockchain games where only certain aspects of the game are run using blockchain technology, like having to own an NFT to start playing or to obtain an in-game item. In the case of Mining Space, game logic is implemented directly into smart contracts and game state, such as a player’s BNB Gems resources and gameplay history, is stored on the blockchain. This ensures that the game is transparent, secure, and fair. Chainlink’s automation technology is utilized in Mining Space to enhance the gaming experience and achieve fully on-chain gaming.
Chainlink Automation
Chainlink Automation enables conditional execution of smart contract functions to achieve fully on-chain gaming. In Mining Space, Chainlink’s automation technology is utilized to enhance the gaming experience and ensure that the game is transparent, secure, and fair.
More specifically, Mining Space uses Chainlink Automation oracles to check if the precise conditions of the game has been met, and make sure the game goes on as required by the rules. For example, on-chain time limits, when does a level end, whether or not should a game end, these are all conditions that will be checked automatically by Chainlink Automation oracles, and will trigger the game to advance into the next stage. This is hyper-reliable and decentralized, ensuring both the game and the players that the game will run as expected, and no human-tempering will occur.
Conclusion
Chainlink’s automation technology has enabled the creation of fully on-chain games, which offer unique advantages such as transparency, security, and fairness. Mining Space is an example of a Web3-native game that employs Chainlink’s automation oracles to enhance the gaming experience and ensure that the game runs as expected.
Players can mine BNB Gems and gets rewarded with BNB and earn real utility airdrops such as BRC-20 tokens and more. The game is easy to follow, and its rules are transparent. Most importantly, the game is fully on-chain, meaning that all aspects of the game are run entirely on the blockchain.
