Poker

Inspiration

We are avid Poker Players and we decided to build a poker engine on the blockchain for poker players around the globe

What it does

This uses the aurora blockchain to make playing games seemlessly easy due to the low transaction fees on the network and rewards each winner with some eth. In the near future the plateform plans to host a global tournament for poker players and the only way players can participate is if they possess an Nft own by the platform or if they have attained a certain rank from constantly playing the game

How we built it

Using Smart Contracts & Aurora: Aurora provides an easy to use protocol(low transaction fees) that is evm compatible. We deployed our test contracts on the aurora test net with the help of the aurora docs.

Challenges we ran into

User Experience design, since the concept of web3 and blockchain is a challenge to integrate all the previous knowledge into the new high demand visual quality and order, we designed several views how how the web dapp should look like. Integrate ideas, since the team has a different experience on the field of blockchain and usage in real-world scenarios, it was a challenge to merge all the ideas into one concept and build the final test product. Design the program architecture of the smart contract. Time. We made the extra mile by putting more time into the project, it was difficult since the time needed to watch the video tutorials and get all the workshops provided on the hackathon on youtube was high demand and consumed a lot of time. but we were able to handle it.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We were able to deploy the Smarts Contracts, connect it with the Metamask wallet and collect data with oracles and API. We worked hard to deploy the program to run the smart contract for the defi option. plus all the experience and amazing tutorials and workshops we were part of during the last 2 weeks.

What we learned

Getting started with Near. Rust Smart-Contracts. Create an Aurora dApp from scratch. Installing Near-Cli. Intro to Rust. Intro to Aurora - How to manually bridge tokens Ethereum, Aurora and Near blockchain networks respectively. Learned a lot about web3 and how it works, picking up a bunch about GraphQL

What's next for Poker

Our goal is with the finance we receive from the hackathon, complete the full deployment of the service web site, register the company base and start building our audience.
