At Crypto Rumble, our mission is to "onboard billions of gamers" by prioritizing a seamless, user-friendly experience. To make the game feel as close to traditional Web 2.0 gameplay as possible, we've abstracted away many of the complexities associated with blockchain technology. While players won’t need blockchain expertise to enjoy the game, understanding some basic concepts can enhance your appreciation of how Crypto Rumble ensures security, transparency, and ownership.
To help players unfamiliar with blockchain or crypto, here are some basic concepts:
Blockchain is a distributed database technology that records data in blocks and links them together. It ensures data security and immutability through encryption and consensus algorithms. Each block contains a set amount of data and information related to the previous block (such as the previous block’s hash value), forming a continuously growing chain. Key features include:
Decentralization: No single entity has control, ensuring a fairer ecosystem.
Transparency: All transactions are visible on the public ledger.
Immutability: Data, once recorded, cannot be changed.
Security: Encryption and consensus algorithms secure the network.
An NFT (Non-Fungible Token) is a unique digital asset stored on a blockchain. Unlike cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ether, NFTs have a unique identifier that makes each token distinct. They are popular in digital art, virtual assets, and in-game items due to their singularity and scarcity.
A Fully On-Chain Game integrates blockchain technology into every aspect of the game, including data, items, and player participation. Unlike traditional games that store data on centralized servers, full-chain games record all game assets and processes on the blockchain. This ensures transparent, verifiable data and true ownership for players over their in-game assets.
Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZK) is a cryptographic method that enables one party to prove to another that they possess certain knowledge without revealing the actual information. ZK proofs allow Crypto Rumble to verify gameplay results without compromising user privacy, maintaining a secure and trustless game environment.
