Solution

How It's Made: Animated UmbrellaAnimated Umbrellais a gaming project built onConduit, a specialized blockchain that operates on theBase Chain (L2). Here’s a look at how we built it and the tools we used:Technologies and ArchitectureConduit Gaming Chain:We created our own gaming-focused blockchain, Conduit, which ensures games run smoothly with quick and secure transactions.Smart Contracts:The games,Dice RollandHigher Lower, are powered by smart contracts written in Solidity. We usedChainlink VRFto make sure the dice rolls are random and fair. The Higher Lower game uses another tool,Pyth, for randomness.Token Bridges:We built bridges to allow tokens to move easily between Conduit and Base Chain. This lets players transfer their in-game tokens quickly and securely.Subgraph Integration:To keep everything up-to-date, we used subgraphs to index data from the smart contracts. This makes sure the game stats and player balances are always accurate and current.Thirdweb Wallet Connection:We used Thirdweb to make it easy for players to connect their wallets and interact with the games. This tool simplifies the process, so players can focus on playing without worrying about the technical details.Notable TweaksCustom Randomness Setup:We combined two tools, Chainlink and Pyth, to ensure our games are fair and unpredictable. This extra step adds more reliability to the randomness.Smart Contract Optimization:We carefully optimized our smart contracts to reduce costs and increase efficiency, ensuring a smooth experience even with high transaction volumes.Enhanced Token Bridging:We designed the token bridges to be fast and secure, minimizing any wait times between gameplay and token availability.Partner TechnologiesChainlink:Provided random number generation for fair gameplay in Dice Roll.Pyth Network:Added extra randomness for the Higher Lower game.Thirdweb:Simplified wallet connections and made transactions easier for players.Animated Umbrellacombines the excitement of gaming with the reliability of blockchain, creating a secure, scalable, and enjoyable platform for players.
