The Foundation of Competitive Gaming

Every competitive game, whether played and settled on-chain, digitally, or in real life, has to be built upon one key rule: Providing a safe and fair environment for competition is of the utmost significance. Only when this rule is brought to life can players engage in a meaningful competition without the fear of losing their reputation, ranking points, or funds due to malicious behavior or game errors.

Another notable example showcasing the capabilities of Elympics is the game WinMe, which was developed using the Elympics platform.

This strategic decision created a competitive environment where players were motivated to showcase their skills and climb up the leaderboard.

The Future of Single Player Games with Leaderboards

The gaming industry is in a constant quest for new ways to attract players and monetize their products. While early blockchain-based titles often leaned towards a Pay-to-Win model with the addition of grinding disguised under the Play-to-Earn label, a new era of blockchain gaming is emerging.
By leveraging blockchain technology, games can offer seamless and fair gameplay, with every piece of data securely stored on a public blockchain. The introduction of public leaderboards, where players from all over the world compete for real-world prizes, represents the natural progression of blockchain gaming. The security and fairness of these competitions are ensured by blockchain-based solutions such as Smart Contracts and In-Game Oracles. Moreover, the gameplay experience is further safeguarded by the Server-Authority design, preventing players from tampering with their inputs on the client side.
The growth of the on-chain gaming sector will become a significant branch of the wider gaming industry. Elympics is uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between these two worlds, leveraging their expertise and providing the necessary infrastructure and support for developers and studios seeking to enter the future of competitive gaming.
With Elympics, developers can tap into the potential of blockchain technology, creating immersive and engaging games that combine the benefits of on-chain security and fairness with the thrill of competitive gameplay.
The future of gaming is here, and Elympics is at the forefront, empowering developers to shape the next generation of gaming experiences.

Moving Competition On-Chain

Building on top of the world-wide phenomenon

The explosive growth of the esports industry marked a pivotal point in the expansion of competitive gaming by laying down the foundations for future trends based on this premise. That is why Elympics is here to help move competitive gaming to the next frontier - blockchain and beyond. The key feature of the professional esports stage is top-level security and fairness, ensuring a safe environment for world-level tournaments. While there were multiple attempts to establish esports-like competitions, the vast majority struggled with either safety or fairness in gameplay. With a set of battle-tested and ready-to-use solutions, Elympics is ready to onboard professional players by providing a secure environment for world-class tournaments utilizing blockchain technology.

Full Programmability

Establishing the Rules via Smart Contracts

Introducing the Rule of Law

One of the most significant features of Smart Contracts is their full programmability. Creating an esports-like tournament with Elympics will be secured by a set of Smart Contracts, ensuring that every player acts only within the realm of granted access. A perfect example is the concept of incentivizing and supporting players by third parties like Gaming Guilds, which provide players with on-chain assets or funds required to take part in the tournament. In this scenario, Smart Contracts will keep the assets safe from any malicious behavior the player might attempt. On the other hand, Smart Contracts would also ensure that the rules of gameplay are not violated, as every action made by the player would take place within the rules allowed by Smart Contracts.

Watchful Warden

Fair and Efficient Dispute Solving

Securing the gameplay with the power of all-seeing eye

Wherever there is competition and money at stake, disputes regarding the final result often arise. To address this issue, blockchain allows for the creation of a Verifiable Replays system, where every significant input made by players can be easily accessed and verified, allowing for efficient dispute resolution. Taking esports-like tournaments as an example, players can be sure that the opposing team played according to the rules, and whenever any doubts arise, they can be easily verified. Additionally, every game within the tournament will be monitored by an impartial arbiter who watches over the gameplay with the help of all the necessary tools to provide safety and fairness.

Server-Authority

World-class Security via Server-Authority

Making sure everyone plays the same game

A key element of the esports stage is the centralized nature of the server infrastructure, which effectively eliminates any user interaction with the servers, as was the case in some well-known web3 games. Tournaments hosted via the Elympics infrastructure adopt the Server Authority approach, making it impossible to alter the gameplay on the player's side. This way, both players and third parties sponsoring players can rest assured that only valid inputs are at play, laying the foundation for future growth and attracting professional players from the esports world.

Gameplay Secured

On-Chain Esports is Already Here

The entire gaming industry, along with entertainment companies, didn't anticipate the explosive growth of esports gaming that occurred over the past decade. This marked a pivotal moment when gaming began to offer highly competitive experiences for those seeking rivalry. The increasing attention drawn by competitive gaming presents an excellent opportunity to extend this competition on-chain by providing world-class security solutions on which on-chain gaming will be built.
