Blockchain-Driven Video Game with Secure Asset Management

Abstract

This paper presents the development of a decentralized blockchain-based gaming platform designed to redefine the user experience in competitive gaming through Web3 technologies. Traditional online games suffer from centralized control, limited asset ownership, and trust issues in competitive environments. In contrast, the proposed solution leverages smart contracts, NFTs, and decentralized architecture to create a transparent, trustless, and rewarding gaming ecosystem. The platform enables users to register, link their crypto wallets, and participate in admin-hosted tournaments of a rock paper-scissors game. Here winners are selected by a dynamic leaderboard system. It automatically rewards NFTs depending on final rankings at the end of each tournament. Admin controls the tournament creation and NFT minting. Players can sell/buy the earned NFTs at an integrated exchange. All major activities of the game like tournament flow, result tracking, NFT ownership are controlled by smart contracts control. Due to the smart contracts control safe transactions takes place without the need for intermediaries, which ensures fairness. The study primarily dedicated to smart contract logic, User interface functionalities and NFT marketplace structure. It also deals all issues related to optimization. Other features of the work are real-time leader board management& secure execution of the game logic. The results of this research demonstrates that blockchain can improve transparency in gaming and its reward systems. It has the capacity to create a new model for competitive decentralized gameplay.
