With my team, we embarked on a groundbreaking venture to create a new class of games leveraging blockchain technology. Here are the key details of my involvement and responsibilities in the project:

  1. Partnership and Brand Association: I associated with 5 persons to introduce a fresh approach to games using blockchain. Treasure hunts have a long history based on book edition and we want to associate with luxury brands to develop a new way to play treasure hunts by focusing the story on a a recognized brand.
  2. Innovative Game Concept: Instead of selling traditional riddles, we introduced a unique concept where participants purchase the right to submit solutions using cryptographic key pairs. This approach adds an extra layer of security and immutability to the game, ensuring the integrity of the submissions.
  3. Blockchain Integration: When users submit their solutions, the system securely stores a hashed version of the solution and records the transaction on the Ethereum blockchain. This process ensures transparency, verifiability, and tamper resistance, enhancing the overall gaming experience.
  4. Leadership and Strategy: As the leader of the brand, I am responsible for defining the overall strategy and shaping the new class of products. I envision a business model that combines cutting-edge technology, engaging gameplay, and a sustainable financial structure to drive the success of the project.
  5. Financing and Development: In this role, I am actively involved in financing the development of the submission platform and cryptographic key system management. These components are crucial for designing a pseudo zero-knowledge proof system, which enhances the security and privacy of user interactions.
