verity.games

Inspiration

Focus of today's blockchain based market is to achieve fully decentralized and trustless execution, but it typically requires a centralized trusted oracle which may have it's own side effects or trust issues.

What it does

Instead of involving oracles, "verity.games" provides a smart contract based solution to simply incentivize honesty among players using VERITY coin rewards

How we built it

Using clarinet tools to build smart contracts on Stacks blockchain secured by Bitcoin blockchain

Challenges we ran into

Debugging smart contract functions for logic errors

Accomplishments that we're proud of

A novel way to solve conflict using proof-of-honesty consensus. Implementing on-chain marketplace. Implementing new fungible token.

What we learned

Learned various features of clarity smart contracts including

• launching new token
• securing contract functions
• saving data on-chain

What's next for verity.games

Future improvements :

• add NFTs/FTs as collateral along with STX
• add players as Judges to help with consensus Proof-of-Trust? for high stake real-life event predictions
• dao to help elect Judges
• oracle to integrate with off-chain events as option
• Games with more than two players: awards are split based on number of winners/loosers and their respective stakes
• fees structure to reward Judges/devs & build treasury
