ArcadeHub
ArcadeHub is a decentralized Web3 gaming platform built on the NERO Chain, designed to blend the simplicity of Web2 gaming with the ownership and rewards of Web3. Players can enjoy a variety of casual arcade games, earning ARC tokens and NFT achievements for their gameplay, all with a seamless, gasless experience powered by Account Abstraction wallets and a Paymaster.
Core Purpose
ArcadeHub is a decentralized Web3 gaming platform built on the NERO Chain, designed to make blockchain gaming accessible and rewarding for both players and developers. The platform features a React-based frontend with Pixi.js-powered arcade games, and a Solidity smart contract backend for game management, tokenomics, and rewards.
Technical Overview:
Frontend: Built with React and TypeScript, the UI offers a seamless experience with social login (Web3Auth, MetaMask), Account Abstraction (AA) wallets, and a responsive game library. State management leverages custom stores (e.g., useWalletStore, useGasPriceStore). The UI integrates with smart contracts via ethers.js and supports gasless transactions using NERO's Paymaster.
Smart Contracts:
ARCToken.sol: ERC-20 token for rewards, payouts, and in-game purchases. ARCNFT.sol: ERC-721 contract for minting achievement NFTs. GameHub.sol: Manages game uploads, developer revenue (70/30 split), and achievement tracking. Key Components:
Gasless Gameplay: All game actions and reward claims are gasless, abstracting blockchain complexity from users. NFT Achievements: Players earn NFTs for in-game milestones, which are tradable and verifiable on-chain. Developer Portal: Developers can upload games, manage revenue, and track analytics via a dedicated dashboard. Tokenomics: 100M ARC tokens with allocations for players, developers, treasury, and platform sustainability (vesting, burns, buybacks). Paymaster Integration: Supports sponsored, prepay, and postpay gas models for flexible user experience. Testing & Simulation: Includes scripts and UI for simulating player and developer actions, with contract and UI tests. Architecture: Frontend- React/Tailwind SmartContracts-Solidity Nero Chain
What's Next
Phase 1: Foundation (Months 1-3)
In the first three months, we'll launch the platform with a solid base for both players and developers.
Creator-Driven Model: We'll open the platform for game submissions in Month 1, providing clear guidelines and a streamlined review process. By Month 3, we aim to have a few developer-built games live, with creators earning 70% of the revenue from their games in tokens. Token Utility: Players will use our token (Arcade) for gas fees and in-game purchases like skins or levels. Developers will receive their 70% revenue share in tokens, incentivizing high-quality game development. User Onboarding: Players will enjoy a seamless sign-up process with tutorials and a "starter pack" of bonus tokens or items. Developers will get documentation and support to integrate their games easily.
By Month 3, the platform will be live, with developers contributing games and earning revenue, while players enjoy a token-driven experience.
Phase 2: Expansion (Months 4-6)
Next, we'll scale by attracting more developers and players, while expanding token utility.
Creator-Driven Model: In Month 4, we'll launch a campaign to attract more developers, showcasing the success and earnings of early games. By Month 6, we'll introduce analytics dashboards, giving developers insights into game performance and user feedback. Token Utility: Players can stake tokens for rewards, and token holders will vote on platform decisions, like featuring new games. Developers can use tokens to access premium tools or promote their games. User Onboarding: A referral program will reward players with tokens for inviting friends. Developers will get a community forum for collaboration and support. Social logins via Nero's smart accounts will simplify onboarding for non-crypto users. Marketing Push: We'll partner with gaming influencers and run social media campaigns to highlight the player experience and developer earnings.
By Month 6, we'll have a growing library of games, with developers actively contributing and players engaging through referrals and events.
Phase 3: Maturation (Months 7-12)
In the final phase, we'll add advanced features to ensure long-term success.
Creator-Driven Model: By Month 12, we'll have a thriving ecosystem of games, with developers earning consistently. In Month 7, developers can use tokens to promote their games, boosting visibility. We'll also add tools like A/B testing to help optimize games. Token Utility: Players will access exclusive content (e.g., VIP modes, rare items) with tokens. We'll explore partnerships beyond Nero, enabling our token's use across other platforms. User Onboarding: We'll refine the platform based on feedback, adding advanced guides for players and data-driven marketing to target high-value users and developers. Technical Focus: We'll ensure scalability and test cross-chain integrations to attract users from other blockchains.
By Month 12, our platform will be a bustling hub for players and developers, with our token at its core.
Why This Benefits Nero
This creator-driven model does more than grow our platform—it strengthens the Nero ecosystem:
Increased Adoption: More games mean more blockchain activity, driving network usage. Enhanced Token Utility: Developers earning 70% in tokens and players using them for in-game actions make our token essential. Showcasing Nero: Our success will highlight Nero's developer-friendly tools and low-cost transactions, inspiring other projects.
