The Uniswap team won the recently held web3 game developer competition. Teams from companies including Ledger, Uniswap, NEAR, Polygon, Chainlink, OKX, Bybit, and Yield Guild Games competed in the tournament, which is hosted by the MatchboxDAO network gaming ecosystem and streamed on Twitch.
The tournament was coordinated by MatchboxDAO, a Starkware-based on-chain gaming ecosystem, a group of developers, artists and designers working together to build an on-chain gaming infrastructure with StarkNet.
This esports tournament is specifically designed to encourage developer participation. The goal of the gaming competition, which the group has dubbed the Web3 firms’ version of the World Cup, is to decide which company employs the most talented technical staff.
How does the development game work?
On-chain games for developers use a unique tactic by focusing on strategy games where players program their ideas using smart contracts. These games are specifically designed for developers. Players need a high level of technical understanding, inventiveness, and agility to succeed in games like 0xMonaco and others like it in the future. MatchBoxDAO said it would give developers a satisfying experience while also entertaining viewers by employing visual simulations detailing the precise code logic used during the round.
Uniswap, Polygon and OtterSec were three companies that made it to the final round. Uniswap emerged victorious after the three contestants met in a very close final. The developers played a racing game in the manner of Mario Kart. The game rewarded technical skills and used smart contracts for the cars used by each team.
Although it is becoming more popular for Web3 games to have their assets on-chain instead of the actual gameplay, 0xMonaco is a game-on-chain.
Before the race begins, each team is responsible for developing a strategy to use available resources to speed up, fire projectiles or super projectiles, or buy a shield. Each of these activities costs coins. At the start of the game, each participant receives a starting balance of 17,500 coins.
As a direct consequence of the continued impact and development of the Web3 ecosystem in the gaming industry, game developers are progressively shifting their focus away from play-to-win models and focusing more on the gaming aspects of the platforms they are hosted on. their games. .
