Cartesi: The gaming use-case

avatar

Hello guys, you are welcome to my blog. The main focus will be gaming on the blockchain, wrote this as regards what building game DApps on the Cartesi offers to developers.

Cartesi is a the Operating System for DApps, it enables developers build on Linux (off-chain) then maintain on-chain security. It is all about fair play once the Cartesi project concerned, the leveling field between developers and users.

It can be said that Cartesi is the bridge between Linux and the blockchain. You can also build scalable DApps using a fully-fledged Linux operating system and mainstream software stacks.

Games can be built on Cartesi, leveraging on the existing protocols. Example of a game built on Cartesi is the Creepts, which happens to be the first fully decentralized tower defense DApp. The game is addictive and fun, also easy to play. You can play here

Creepts Tower Defense is a proof that games can be built on the blockchain and building with Cartesi makes it easier to build, scalable and more powerful. Game DApps can run complex computations off-chain, which makes it free from blockchain limitations and high fees, while retaining decentralization and security.

More people need to know about this, and the many benefits of building on the blockchain. In view of this, Cartesi just joined the Blockchain Gaming Alliance as a member. The Blockchain Gaming Alliance's mission is to raise awareness about the power of blockchain and how it can influence the video gaming industry.

Going through their mission on the official site, it shows that the blockchain can overcome the barriers existing in the gaming industry if well utilized. It is great to see Cartesi belong to the group, coupled with the recent partnership with MixMarvel, I can only see a bright and exiting future for blockchain in the gaming industry.

Gaming is one of the current 6 use cases of Cartesi, it will unveil many new possibilities for blockchain games. Cartesi stands out because Developers can and will be able to use traditional tools and libraries that can be compiled for Linux. The game state processing will be smooth as it will not be disturbed by the computational limits and high fees of blockchains, while still maintaining decentralization.

High fee is one of the major limitation of blockchain, it has made many people lose interest in building a worthwhile DApp. Cartesi offers a way around that, alongside the computations that might lead to the accumulation of fees. The on-chain part is to make sure the DApp stays decentralized, the rest is settled off-chain.
