Welcome to Ether Echelon Game
Notice: I apologize for any Vietnamese words in my code if you read the code.
EtherEchelon is a project focused on Web3 Gaming, combining the power of NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens), ERC-6551 standards, and Chainlink VRF to create a distinctive and stylish gaming experience.
- Smart contract: Solidity, Foundry, Chainlink, OpenZeppelin, ERC6551, NFTs,...
- Front-end: Game build with HTML Canvas, React, TypeScript, Firebase, Redux, Antd, TailwindCSS,..
The network used is Polygon Mumbai.
The contract address has been deployed:
- EEEngine: 0x63Dcb9d8a5220582555fFb7757e08882eFc27e1B
- AccountNFT: 0x295DA2862970756eaA977639C130ACE30ba23BC2
- ERC6551Registry: 0x259739DC2f1cAf31e23c11E8f3137563BeA38686
- GameAssetsNFT: 0x4AeB35952971271F4358E791451F2095E197a010
- EEG Token: 0xcdcfb95C577D8c1a94cEa08030c8F91E35407F5E
The most important contract is the engine contract, you can view the contract's document in the EEEngine.sol file.
Any user will be able to create their own NFT Account and follow the ERC721 standard. Based on ERC6551, each NFT will have its own address, which can be obtained using the tokenURI() function when called into this contract.
Each NFT Account can only create one unique address for itself. This address helps store in-game assets (standardized by ERC1155), separate from the owner's original address. If the owner has this NFT Account, they will also be the owner of all NFTs in the NFT Account address.
This will make transferring all in-game items to another wallet address simple and in just one transaction. For example, if Simon decides to stop playing and he doesn't want all the hard work he's put into his passion game to go to waste if he doesn't play anymore. Then he can go to the in-game market and sell this Account NFT along with all the accompanying items included in this Account NFT.
The Account NFT URI token is stored on-chain, because not too much changes around this NFT during gameplay. However, this may change if in the future I continue to develop this project if it is successful.
All assets in the game (including Ethers Beasts and Other Items) will be minted from a single contract GameAssetsNFT.sol.
TokenURI() of this contract will be stored as a folder at IPFS. Where it will be easy to update and change game parameters for game balance and gameplay improvement.
EtherEchelon derives its inspiration from the limitless possibilities that arise at the intersection of blockchain technology and gaming innovation. The project envisions a dynamic and inclusive Web3 Gaming ecosystem, where players not only immerse themselves in captivating virtual worlds but also become true owners of their in-game assets through the revolutionary concept of NFTs.
The driving force behind EtherEchelon lies in redefining the gaming experience by leveraging the transparent and decentralized nature of blockchain. Chainlink VRF plays a pivotal role in this vision, introducing an unpredictable and fair aspect to the acquisition of in-game assets. The thrill and excitement of opening a chest become integral to the gaming journey, showcasing the transformative potential of blockchain technology in enhancing user engagement.
In essence, EtherEchelon is not just a project; it's a personal inspiration to break barriers, challenge norms, and pave the way for a new era of gaming where every player is a true stakeholder in the virtual realms they explore.
EtherEchelon is a cutting-edge Web3 Gaming project that leverages blockchain technology, particularly Chainlink VRF (Verifiable Random Function), to enhance the gaming experience. The project focuses on introducing randomness and unpredictability into the game by utilizing Chainlink VRF, specifically for activities like opening chests within the game.
Through the integration of NFTs and adherence to the ERC-6551 standard, EtherEchelon allows players to truly own and manage their in-game assets, fostering a sense of uniqueness and value. The commitment to a free-to-play model ensures accessibility for all players.
In essence, EtherEchelon aims to revolutionize gaming by combining blockchain innovation, NFTs, and Chainlink VRF to create an immersive and unpredictable gaming environment where every player can participate, engage, and truly own a piece of the virtual world.
EtherEchelon transcends the conventional boundaries of a singular game; it aspires to evolve into an expansive gaming universe. Within this visionary ecosystem, players possess the ability to utilize their NFTs across various games, thereby transforming a single NFT into a gateway to diverse gaming experiences. Adhering to the ERC-6551 standard, EtherEchelon introduces a paradigm shift where individual NFT items need not be confined to a personal wallet. Instead, they can be securely stored within an account represented by an NFT.
