zkGames
zkGames is a platform that allows users to play zk (zero knowledge) games and mint an NFT as proof that they have won.
Application Type
zkDAO
Proposal Overview
zkGames has 3 games so far: Futoshiki, Skyscrapers and Sudoku. When users solve a game, they can verify if it is a valid solution. If the answer is successfully verified, they can mint an NFT as proof of victory.
Use Cases
- Entertainment: To play games for entertainment and earn an NFT to show off to friends (on social media).
- Tournaments: Holding competitions to see who can win certain games. People can prove that they have won a certain game, using their NFT earned after solving the game.
- Learning purposes: To show real projects to people interested in zk. In this project, it is easy to see the flow of zk and how it works.
Competitive Landscape
There are some zero knowledge games such as Dark Forest, but zkGames integrates several zero knowledge games for users to enjoy on the same platform.
Proposal Ask
zkGames will be established to be community-driven and self-funded by its DAO. To get this up and running, we will be requesting the $15k/year stable basic income to take care of initial development, welfare, and operations costs.
This ask will be in line with the laid down milestones as detailed below:
- launching a feature-complete product on our testnet
- forming a DAO with 5-out-of-9 multisig
- launching on mainnet with audit
- attracting 1k daily active users (with launch video, full PR promotion)
- attracting 10k daily active users (with a detailed roadmap, governance process)
Road Map
zkGames is currently on Harmony Mainnet.
