This magnitude of compute wouldn’t be possible through vanilla EVM execution environments. Through hacking on custom stateful precompiles, the underlying stateDB, the VM, and other on-chain components, we are combining the best of both worlds from game engines and blockchains.

Most importantly, for the first time, the game allows players to launch smart contracts aka treaties that directly hook into the core game logic, such as “OTC Trading”, “Loan Agreement”, or “Sanction”. This is simply not feasible in traditional games.

We think that the design space for game-specific blockchains is vast and unexplored. With the help of frameworks like
@CelestiaOrg
, rollups will look more and more bespoke. Composable games are one such genre.

The most prominent feedback throughout launching Treaty was the lacking infrastructure. We quickly realized that in order to build bigger and better games, we needed stronger infra hyper specialized for on-chain games. So we started hacking on it right away.

🎮Fully on-chain games are pushing the frontiers of gaming 🎮

Previous generation of games are closed by default, preventing players from contributing user generated content that hook deeply into core game logic and data. This kills the potential design space for composable and interoperable games while hindering player creativity.

We're also starting by embracing the "on-chain"-ness as fully as possible since the design space is so under-explored, while also acknowledging that there's tremendous merit in their hybrid approaches.

Since the chain is EVM based, Solidity smart contracts can interact with the underlying ECS state through precompiles functions, both fetching and setting data. We provide examples of this in our repo.

The game tick is also built into the block production step, taking user input during the last block and applying a new state. This can mean updating millions of entities at once, like regenerating health and moving bullet trajectories, is now possible.

Treaty is a classic 4x strategy game where players compete by securing land and building economies. Crystal and food are the two in-game ERC-20s that drive the economy, each intended to serve different strategies.

Treaty includes a classic 4x core with multi-resource competition and a suite of new innovations. Most notably, players will participate in treaties - encoded social contracts that facilitate a wide range of meta-game behavior, from forming guilds to building in-game marketplaces

To build this, we've designed our own smart contract and tokenization layer that lets in-game characters hold tokens, an account abstraction layer that lets players delegate responsibilities of playing the game to one another, and our own ECS game engine that powers all data.

Complex on-chain games suffer from execution speed bottlenecks, as on-chain state bloats and concurrent transactions grows. Blockchains also miss key features games need to thrive such as game ticks.

We’ve been working on this over the last year and recently launched Treaty, a strategy game that allowed players to draft up agreements between one another. Such user-written smart contracts were enforced directly at the game engine level, something traditional games rarely do.

First, Keystone comes with entity component system built into the chain - this means that 1) game logic is now written in Go, offering much better dev-ex 2) execution speed of the ECS is now 100x faster and can be parallelized.

Most importantly, rules in treaties are directly hooked into the core game functions. If you signed an alliance treaty such that you are forbidden from waging war against other members, this condition will be strictly enforced next time the base function "attack" is called.

However, throughout our first foray into building smart contract based onchain games, it was clear that these data and compute intensive worlds needed much more than vanilla smart contracts and generalized rollups to scale beyond tens of concurrent users.

Treaties are game-specific smart contracts that encode social rules. Players will launch their own DAO structures, issue national reserve currencies, create profit-sharing agreements, taxation strategies ... There is no limit to what a treaty can be.

We believe that social composability and open data is the “100x feature” for onchain games, especially when combined with high stakes. We dream of a future where millions of treaties are deployed, spawning infinitely interesting social dynamics that we can’t even conceive of.

"Treaty" is a 4X/SLG strategy game built on top of our token-compatible on-chain game engine (🤫), where players will soon be able to write custom multi-sigs, guild contracts, alliance profit-share agreements, all using familiar interfaces compatible with defi and beyond.

We think a well-built game framework should
1) Allow 3rd party developers to contribute content easily
2) Achieve backwards compatibility for such content like smart-contract plugins
3) Distribute assets that are compatible with existing crypto/defi ecosystems

We also know that on-chain games will not flourish without solving the hard technical challenges ahead. Traditionally accessible game engineering architectures such as game tick, parallel processing patterns, and heavy data pipelines are not native to the blockchains.

Moreover, in order for onchain games to grow meaningfully as a whole, we must focus on bringing the same level of experiences the average player expects. Experiences like League and Starcraft should not be foreign to onchain game players. We deserved better.

Keystone represents a step-function improvement in how onchain games are built.
Think of Keystone as a blockchain and a game server enshrined in one. It’s designed from grounds up to create a highly performant data oriented game server with the composability of EVM.

Smart contracts deployed to Keystone can both read and write data from the Go-based game state through custom precompiles atomically. We will release more updates on the Keystone EVM soon.
