Moonlit Games and Openfort: A Unique take on Rogue-lite Gameplay

Lost Dungeon is a casual blockchain game that demonstrates how to best leverage the potential of blockchain technology in gaming. [**Play here**](https://lostdungeon.openfort.xyz/).

This article details how to build “invisible” blockchain features so that:
- For players can just focus on gameplay, and still get the full benefits of web3 (ie. in-game asset ownership). No wallet connection for authentication, no gas fees or popups for transactions. 

- For game developers, familiar gaming tools at your disposal, powerful and reliable SDKSs and APIs with the necessary tooling to start monetizing at any point.

## Why we built a web3 game

The goal of Lost Dungeon is to show the power of blockchain technology in the games. Traditionally players often suffer from limitations such as lack of gaming ownership and not being able to enjoy their progress in other ecosystems. 


Our aim with Lost Dungeon was to establish an experimental mini-game that empowers players with complete control over their in-game assets. It is designed to reward gameplay with gaming value and provides players with genuine ownership over claimed items. 

Moreover, it also enhances the gaming experience through unprecedented levels of interactivity and interoperability, extending beyond the game itself.


## Game Architecture

![RECOVERY1.svg](https://strapi-oube.onrender.com/uploads/RECOVERY_1_ad9e2b0577.svg)

### Blockchain
Lost Dungeon is built on top of Avalanche Fuji Testnet. Leveraging Avalanche as the game’s public cloud infrastructure ensures transparency, security and immutability. Developers need to “do your own research” on the blockchain you want to launch and grow as each blockchains have different tradeoffs, demographics and focus.

### Gaming Backend
Lost Dungeon uses Playfab as a backend as a service solution together with Azure functions to execute certain custom logic. At its core, the gaming assets and economics of the game are in the blockchain making the game a “web2.5” approach. 

### Player Authentication
Lost Dungeon usesPlayfab Authentication to onboard users with and without existing wallets. Providing a unified experience regardless of how crypto-saby the player is.


## In-game Wallet
The first component of a game is the player. In blockchain, the player has both a profile/identity and a payment railway attached. In traditional blockchain we call this wallets and are crucial to hold in-game currencies and assets through the game. Wallets (or vaults in the gaming context) are crucial and can be generated at the backend of the game not to disrupt the player’s experience.

![RECOVERY2.svg](https://blog-cms.openfort.xyz/uploads/RECOVERY_2_f6d6e6805e.svg)

- **Onboarding crypto and non-crypto players**
In-game wallets offer standardize experiences for both crypto native and non-crypto native player base. We create smart wallets for every single player signing up for the first time. The main difference is that players with existing wallets will be the owner of the smart wallet being completely self-custodial. Players without a wallet will have a non-custodial wallet created link with their email. Both are completely indistinguishable.

Here is how we link an email to a non-custodial account

```js
import Openfort from "@openfort/openfort-node";
const openfort = new Openfort(process.env.OPENFORT_API_KEY);
const OFplayer = await openfort.players
    .create({
        name: req.body.CallerEntityProfile.Lineage.MasterPlayerAccountId,
    });

```

- **Playing as a Guest**
We’ve also created a “play as a guest” button where players enjoy the game without having to sign up. This onboarding creates a wallet in the background that players would be able to claim if they want to save their progress in the game. 


## Gasless Transactions
Gas transactions are a massive friction point for onboarding new users. Onboarding a complete newcomer to Web3 involves creating a wallet and acquiring a native token to initiate their first transaction. For game developers, this process can deter potential users as they typically need to purchase the native token through a fiat on-ramp, which often necessitates Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures.

Granular gas sponsoring is essential to the gaming experience and it’s no exception with the Lost Dungeon, enabling players to perform actions on the blockchain without needing initial funds or worrying about the costs of transaction fees.

Openfort lets you define a gas policy to handle the payment transaction fees on behalf of the players. This pairs with any created wallet who doesn’t hold any funds initially. This combo enables a smooth and uninterrupted gaming experience, without the need for players to transfer AVAX or worry about gas prices.

Read more about [gasless transactions](https://www.openfort.xyz/blog/technical-dive-gas-sponsorship).
## Gaming Session Keys
Session Keys are a massive leap forward for user experience. They allow users to pre-approve an application's transactions according to a set of parameters. Session keys are used to simply pre-approve your session and play the game without constantly being bombarded by your wallet asking “confirm this transaction”.

Here is how we use session keys on Lost Dungeon. We create a local session key to be able to buy a weapon (mint an asset) by pre-approving functions of the smart contract during a specific period of time.

```c#
using Openfort;

public class Web3AuthService: MonoBehaviour
private OpenfortClient _openfort;

private void Start() {
  _openfort = new OpenfortClient("pk_test_…");
}
private void RegisterSession() {
  Debug.Log("Registering session...");
  var loadedSessionKey = _openfort.LoadSessionKey();
  if (loadedSessionKey == null) {
    var sessionKey = _openfort.CreateSessionKey();
    walletConnectorKit.ChangeState(State.CreatingSessionKey);
    _openfort.SaveSessionKey();
  }
}
```

## Beyond the wallet 
### Purchasing Assets (ERC721)
The Shop screen enables players to purchase weapons using their $GOLD tokens. Let’s walk through how this works.

The ERC721 contract allows players to “claim” the assets as long as they meet the onchain conditions defined on the claim condition of the contract. When a player clicks on “Buy” we hook up the purchase buttons of each UI item with the claiming function.


If the conditions are met, the player will exchange some $GOLD tokens for a weapon NFT.

```ts
const currencyAddress = process.env.GOLD_CONTRACT_ADDRESS;
const weaponAddress = process.env.OF_WEAPON_CONTRACT;
const _proof = [
    "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000",
];
const _quantityLimitPerWallet = 1;
const _receiver = resultData["OFplayer"].Value;
const _tokenId = Number(offerId);
const _quantity = 1;
const _pricePerItem = {
    "0": "1000000000000000000",
    "1": "10000000000000000000",
    "2": "20000000000000000000",
    "3": "30000000000000000000",
    "4": "40000000000000000000",
    "5": "50000000000000000000",
};
const _data = "0x";
const _allowlistProof = [
    _proof,
    _quantityLimitPerWallet,
    _pricePerItem[offerId],
    currencyAddress,
];
const interaction_1: Interaction = {
    contract: process.env.OF_GOLD_CONTRACT,
    functionName: "approve",
    functionArgs: [weaponAddress, _pricePerItem[offerId]],
};
const interaction_2: Interaction = {
    contract: process.env.OF_WEAPON_CONTRACT,
    functionName: "claim",
    value: "0",
    functionArgs: [
        _receiver,
        _tokenId,
        _quantity,
        currencyAddress,
        _pricePerItem[offerId],
        _allowlistProof,
        _data,
    ],
};


const transactionIntentRequest: TransactionIntentRequest = {
    player: _receiver,
    chainId: 43113,
    optimistic: true,
    interactions: [interaction_1, interaction_2],
    policy: process.env.OF_TX_SPONSOR,
};
const transactionIntent = await openfort.transactionIntents.create(
    transactionIntentRequest
);

```

You can find the Weapons Minting Contract used by the game [here](https://testnet.snowtrace.io/address/0x898cf2a67e8887d3c69236147a201608565ff3b3).

### Collecting Coins -$GOLD (ERC20)

![Group 384-min.png](https://strapi-oube.onrender.com/uploads/Group_384_min_6214ef1937.png)

The $GOLD token works as the in-game currency within Lost Dungeon. The in-game mechanics rely on the token to upgrade your progress in the game. 

When onboarding for the first time, we drop the player with 1 GOLD. Players complete runs to obtain GOLD Tokens, which in turn can be spent to purchase weapons from the shop. These are NFTs owned by the players, and are reflected inside and outside of the game.

Some of the mechanics implemented in the game:

- _Reading balance_.
We’ve set a CRON function to periodically refresh the player’s balance. Additionally, we hook up a refresher for related user actions that update their balance. 

- _Minting Flow_.
With Last Dungeon we used the aforementioned Sesion Keys to approve every action happening onchain. That’s in the case of the dungeon, the collection  of Gold, triggers a minting event automatically. 

We could also decide to put those transaction onchain once the game is over and batch them all together in one single mint to save on gas fees, but for the sake of this example we wanted to show how smooth it is with single transactions.

You can find the $GOLD Token Contract used by the game [here](https://testnet.snowtrace.io/address/0x658d55c80ab4d153774fc5f1d08aa396cc8243b7).

### Other notable features we could include
- **Transfer Ownership**
Allowing players with non-custodial wallets to transfer their ownership to a self-custodial wallet without exposing private keys.

Read more about [how to transfer the account ownership](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBzl8hk__P8)

- **Token Bound Accounts**
Turning battle passes or simple player avatars into smart wallets that could also host more game tokens and assets without. This approach ensure an easy transfer of wallets via the NFT directly instead of the signer.

Read more about [the benefits of ERC6551](https://www.openfort.xyz/blog/technical-dive-combining-token-bound-account-tba-with-account-abstraction-aa)

- **Ecosystem ID**
Openfort's headless approach makes it ideal for building a gaming wallet on top of. Additionally, this enables the creation of companion apps and enhances the gaming ecosystem.

Openfort and Portal Fantasy: Powering Pixelated Adventures

In the rapidly evolving realm of blockchain gaming, numerous solutions are vying for a slice of the pie. Among them, Openfort has carved a unique niche, focusing on providing a seamless, game-centric wallet experience. Here’s a comparative look at how Openfort stands tall against other industry contenders.

## A Primer on Openfort
Openfort pioneers a groundbreaking in-game transaction paradigm, embodying a game-specific, headless wallet. This brainchild, utilizing blockchain fundamentals, mirrors a transaction-as-a-service model for games, streamlining transactions via API endpoints, aiming for a unified player journey.

## The Openfort Edge
- **Developer Experience first:** Unlike conventional setups, Openfort understand and works with a diverse number of technology providers to seamlessly help you develop the innovation you have in mind.
- **Hyperstructure-Based Infrastructure:** A step beyond, Openfort’s infrastructure is rooted in hyperstructures, simplifying digital asset access, enhancing liquidity, and broadening network value.
- **Player-Centric Approach:** By revamping both player authentication and payment frameworks, Openfort addresses the intricacies of a web3 game setup.

## Competitior Analysis
![5.svg](https://strapi-oube.onrender.com/uploads/5_66ea4ba4ea.svg)
We categorize the present strategies into two main categories:

**1) Verticalize (Gaming and Gamified Experiences) vs. Generic** 
Meaning generic wallet solutions for applications with varying methods for managing private keys (MPC, KMS, etc.), while verticalize includes a comprehensive suite of products from which games can benefit, usually including wallets -other services may encompass inventory and currency minting, indexers, white-label marketplaces, etc.

**2) External Owned Accounts (EOA) Wallets vs. Smart (Contract) Wallets**
A lot is written about the difference between an EOA and a Smart Wallet and the differences it provides. You can read more [here](https://www.openfort.xyz/docs/guides/smart-accounts/why-smart-accounts).

Openfort is pioneering the first gaming-centric wallet built to make wallets effectively 'invisible' to players, simplifying their experience. Let's take a deeper look at the current solutions:

### EOA Wallet & Generic
These solutions emphasize private key management over user experience. Unlike Openfort, they lack optimizations like gas sponsoring and transaction batching, essential for an enhanced player journey.

|  | Openfort | Privy | Particle Network | Web3Auth | Turnkey |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Account | Smart Account | EOA | EOA | EOA | EOA |
| Signer | KMS | SSS | TSS | SSS/TSS | MPC |
| Game Integration | ✅ | ⚠️ Only web | ⚠️ Only Unity | ✅ | ⚠️ Only API |
| Gasless Transactions | ✅ | ⛔ | ⛔ | ⛔ | ⛔ |
| Zero wallet popups | ✅ | ⛔ | ⛔ | ⛔ | ⛔ |

The wallet provides a smooth onboarding experience but carries all the limitations of creating an EOA instead of a smart contract wallet. They have no options without their UI, neither optimizations in the player experience like gas sponsoring, batching of transactions, etc. It's literally a burner/hot wallet.

Most of the aforementioned options are only focused on improving the user authentication and onboarding. In the process of creating a wallet, it generates simple EOA without any programmability or means to enhance the UX. This, while straightforward, has several limitations on the player’s experience and wallet management. 

### EOA Wallet & Game-Specific
Here are more complete solutions towards gaming and include things like marketplaces, inventory, etc. While these solutions offer game-specific features, they lack the technological edge of smart accounts seen in Openfort, which leads to vendor lock-in and limited external solution interactions.

|  | Openfort | Stardust | Venly |
|---|---|---|---|
| Account | Smart Account | EOA | EOA |
| Custodianship | Custodial/ non-custodial | Custodial | Custodial/ non-custodial |
| UI Integration | ✅ | ✅ | ⛔ |
| Gasless Transactions | ✅ | Custodial | Relayer |
| Zero wallet popups | ✅ | Custodial | ⛔ |
| Use any Smart Contracts | ✅ | ⚠️ | ⚠️ |
| Ecosystem Integration | ✅ | ⛔ | ⚠️ Only Wallet API |
| Marketplace as a Service | ⛔ | ✅ | ✅ |

These solutions offer a complete suite of gaming tools ranging from NFT minting, marketplaces, indexers and/or wallets. While complete in many aspects, they are still relying on EOA instead of Smart accounts which limits some capacbilities for the end user.

### Smart Wallet & Generic
These providers are delving into smart contract wallet solutions but lack a defined vision, contrasting with Openfort’s clear focus on providing a tailored solution for the gaming industry.

|  | Openfort | Thirdweb | ZeroDev | Alchemy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Signer | In-house & signer support | Signer support | Signer support | Signer support |
| Gasless Transactions | ✅ | ⚠️ Only on network tokens | ✅ | ⚠️ Only on network tokens |
| Zero wallet popups | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ⛔ |
| Token Bound Account Support | ✅ | ⚠️ | ⛔ | ⛔ |
| Gaming Integrations | ✅ | ⛔ | ⛔ | ⛔ |
| Headless wallet support | ✅ | ✅ | ⛔ | ⛔ |
| Account Abstraction Infra | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |

These organizations appear to be diversifying its features with the aspiration that one may gain traction, rather than being driven by a definitive vision and addressing a specific problem. Broadly speaking, their offerings can be characterized as generic solutions that lack both innovative elements and a focus on client-centricity.
### Smart Wallet & Game-Specific
Although focusing on gaming use cases, these organizations build their own gaming wallet brands, which may impose restrictions on games and players, unlike Openfort's open, customizable approach.

|  | Openfort | Sequence | Immutable Passport |
|---|---|---|---|
| Signer | KMS (Non-custodial) | TSS (Torus Network) | ⚠️ No details |
| Gasless Transactions | ✅ | Relayers | ⚠️ No details |
| Zero wallet popups | ✅ | ✅ | ⚠️ No details |
| Headless Account | ✅ | ⛔ | ⛔ |
| Account Abstraction Infra | ✅ | In-house infra | ⚠️ No details |
| Token Bound Account Support | ✅ | ⛔ | ⛔ |
| Use any auth platform | ✅ | ⛔ | ⛔ |	

The most constraining part is that these providers are buidlign their own gaming wallet brand versus openfort offering their tech to be completely branded on top. Anyone could build their own Immutable Passport, like Beam (Merit Circle) did with Openfort tech.

## Openfort’s Unique Positioning

The Openfort's mission is to grow the gaming economies. We believe that by building a transaction-as-a-service platform we'll be expanding the pie for thousands of games looking to build a fun and engagin games where players like to participate in the economies they generate.

Our solution integrates with all popular onboarding tools as well as offers our own solution to ensure a smooth player onboarding. After signing in, users will obtain a smart account rather than a regular wallet, providing them with advanced functionalities. 

![FeaturesOpenfort-min.png](https://blog-cms.openfort.xyz/uploads/Features_Openfort_min_75f88075b3.png)

**We’re building the infrastructure needed to have hit games like Clash of Clans.** We prioritize and build a comprehensive product to become crucial part of any ambitious game. All without vendor lock-in and the piece of mind that if we cease to exist all our deployd infraestrcutured will still be running because it's build on top of blockchain primitives. 

We provide SDKs and APIs for the most powerful smart account features, including [gasless transactions](https://www.openfort.xyz/blog/technical-dive-gas-sponsorship), transaction batching, [pop-upless experience](https://www.openfort.xyz/blog/technical-dive-session-keys), ability to [build-your-own-gaming ID](https://www.openfort.xyz/blog/openfort-interoperability-the-rise-of-cross-game-ecosystems), and much more.

Exploring the Landscape of Blockchain-based Gaming Wallets

Group 283-min.png

Openfort vs Other Solutions

The partnership between [Merit Circle](https://meritcircle.io/)'s [Beam](https://www.onbeam.com/) and [Openfort](https://openfort.xyz/) has been a game-changer in the blockchain gaming ecosystem. This collaboration has enabled Beam to leverage Openfort's state-of-the-art wallet-as-a-service solution, enhancing the gaming experience for users while ensuring a secure and efficient infrastructure. 

This article delves into the features that Beam is utilizing from Openfort and explores how other gaming ecosystems, gaming aggregators, and gaming wallets can benefit from similar collaborations.

## Components for Beam Ecosystem
### Smart Accounts
_What it is:_
By incorporating smart contract wallets, or 'account abstraction' (following ERC4337), you can offer your users a more interactive and richer gaming experience.

_Why it's important for games:_
Beam utilizes smart contracts from Openfort, which provide you with the tools to offer your users greater flexibility and security with their accounts. This means, developers will be able to choose across a gull range of wallet configurations like Token Bound Accounts (ERC6551), Social Recovery Accounts, and more. 

### Multi-Chain Account Support
_What it is:_
Beam has integrated Openfort's multi-chain account support, allowing users to manage multiple blockchain accounts seamlessly.

_Why it's important for games:_
In a gaming ecosystem where different games may operate on different blockchains, multi-chain support is crucial. It allows the ecosystem to expand into new blockchain as they see fit, while mantaining the same support and experience. 

### Gas Sponsorship and Policy Rules
_What it is:_
Openfort's gas sponsorship feature has been adopted by Beam to subsidize transaction costs for the users.

_Why it's important for games:_
Having to have tokens to pay for transactions can be a barrier to entry for many gamers. By granularly sponsoring these fees, Beam makes it more accessible for users to engage in transactions, such as buying in-game items or transferring assets across accounts/,marketplaces. All by using the native token $Beam. 

### Invisible Blockchain Interactions
_What it is:_
This feature eliminates the need for constant pop-ups during blockchain interactions, offering a smoother gaming experience.

_Why it's important for games:_
Constant pop-ups can be disruptive and annoying, especially in fast-paced games. This feature enhances user engagement and keeps gamers focused on the gameplay rather than administrative tasks. By creating temporary keys the gaming ecosystem has the authorization to interact on behalf of the users for a limited set of variables. 

## What future features will Openfort support?
1. **Release of the Beam companion app**. Allowing players features like transferring assets, buying / listing on Beam marketplace through the app and asset swaps. The app will also include Vaults, which will be a self-custodial account for users to interact with their assets.

2. **Onramp/Offramp for games**. Allowing game devs to incorporate FIAT payments to their game, either to aquire more game tokens or in-game assets.

3. **Onchain subscriptions**. Allowing game devs to create subscriptions for their products and other paying mechanisms.

## Building your Web3 Gaming Stack
The numerous conversations we've had with industry insiders indicate a strong appetite among game studios and gaming projects to go beyond merely designing a game. They are looking for scalable solutions that can serve as a foundation for their ambitions. 

Openfort is designed to work as a base layer for projects that aim to build their own wallet stack while retaining full control. 

Here are different scenarios where our infrastructure shines:

### For Gaming Studios
**- Reliability in Transactions:**
In the blockchain gaming world, transactions are the lifeblood of revenue for game developers. Opting for a server-side approach allows for optimized transactions that are guaranteed to reach on-chain. This is crucial because transactions are the primary way game developers make money in the blockchain space.

**- Ease of Integration:**
Not every game studio has the bandwidth to become blockchain experts. That's why Openfort's API endpoints are a godsend. They allow game studios to integrate blockchain functionalities without the steep learning curve, letting them focus on what they do best: creating amazing games.

### For Gaming Ecosystems and Aggregators
**- Network Effects:**
Gaming ecosystems present an incredible opportunity to align games and players towards a successful, engaged, and fun community. Onboarding games into a robust platform equipped with all the necessary infrastructure elements simplifies life for game developers and adds liquidity to the games.

**- Unified Development Experience:**
Owning the tech stack around wallets, marketplaces, and more creates a unified development experience. This is invaluable in an industry where fragmentation can be a significant hurdle.

### For Gaming Wallets
**- Direct Relationship with Gamers:**
Owning a wallet means owning the direct relationship with gamers. It allows you to unify the on-chain life of players, including their NFTs and tokens, as well as their actions like buying, swapping, and renting, all under a single user interface.

**- Customization:**
Front-end wallets can be designed for specific verticals, unlocking new customer behaviors and providing a more tailored experience. This is particularly useful in a rapidly evolving industry where one-size-fits-all solutions often fall short.

By leveraging Openfort's robust and versatile infrastructure, you're not just adopting a tool; you're adopting a strategic partner committed to your project's long-term success. 

Whether you're a game studio, an ecosystem, or a wallet, Openfort provides the building blocks for a scalable, secure, and seamless gaming experience.
