Learning zk was fun, so I hacked together a lil project:
Introducing zk-NFT, an NFT powered by zkSNARKs that allows users to prove ownership and characteristics of the NFT metadata without revealing such info.

It's 2024. You are a dev trying to build an onchain game. Your intuition is to go straight to Solidity, but you realize the tools are bad. You try to roll your own roll up but see the performance of the EVM is still slow. Your game can't handle many concurrent players. Your game…

Introducing "zk vending machine", a game that allows users to "set up shop", buy & sell items, and contest for these locations inside a game like

phase 1) everything on 1 chain
phase 2) rollups but 99% OP evm forks (now)
phase 3) realizing phase 2 is bad -> rollups with truly different state machines (outside of blockchain land) for use cases with very different tradeoffs

This would allow interesting universes to be built on top of these NFTs. For example, two pets, represented by NFTs and their hidden attributes, can engage in battle, but through ZK can be orchestrated in a way such that the attributes are not fully revealed, but only results are

Hoping that Base will for sure never have a token as it will ruin the user base. It needs to remain as one of the few shining examples on how to run things with good care and no ponzunomics. Study good gtm and quick decision making (leveraging Farcaster) and how important it is…

ok lets just frame as what the avg gamer actually cares about and what we should leverage more imo
- Performance
#1
- Composability + interop
what they don't actually rly care about
- Immutability
- Full decentralization
- Autonomy

As you know, the definition of AW is not clear.
Therefore, I conducted a survey of existing work and people's attitudes toward AW.

How can we make on-chain games more composable and community driven?
Here I prototyped a gaming framework that allows users to write custom plugins, introduce them into the game through governance, and receive creator revenue splits from winnings.

Tired of seeing the mono vs modular debates ... No, you can't have infinite apps on one network - it's okay to admit you'll need to scale that. Yes, L2s will need to be much faster if we want any meaningful adoption. Not that deep

A fully decentralized and verifiable substrate for game worlds is extremely overrated (at the current moment).
Really think that we as an industry need to focus more on performance first while explore composability as the 100x factor instead of other features of the chain

It's a very freeing feeling that you can design a system with the right tradeoffs for the exact type of application you yourself will build on top. Instead of praying that some rando will come and build on top so u end up building a general purpose infra

Was looking at zkSync's block explorer today:
swaps are ~1.5 USD and transfers around ~ 0.5 USD, so ~90-100x cheaper than mainnet. Feeling super excited that the future is already here and scaling is real 😊

Embrace financialization or die
because of the horrors of P2E, devs migrated to onchain games seeking different reasons to put crypto into games.
the main arguments were composability & permanence, while financialization is often soundly rejected.
i'd argue that financialization is still important:

tbh the whole points of points is that it is black boxed, off chain, can be manipulated in real time and can slash whoever they want.
The benefits of this much outweigh benefits like composability or what not. Not sure if putting it onchain solves real problems.

random thought: some game with governance except players cannot propose proposals, only pass them. Every team starts with a set of proposals they must pass before the game ends. Some proposals help the team (restore everyones health), some hurt them (spawn more monsters)

Sometimes there’s an illusion to shipping fast = op. Actually no. You turn potential gamers away if the first exp isnt immersive and isn’t up to par. Most traditional gamers don’t put up with bs.
