👾Game Flow

Game level unlock

During the Alpha version period there are no RACE token lock requirements. All the games and table levels are open to anyone anytime.

• Game levels refer to table stakes (small/big blinds, sit-&-go and tourney entry tickets)

• Locking RACE is required for decentralized governance for malicious parties if any.

• Players unlock tables at specific game levels by locking RACE governance token.

• Players own tables at specific levels by locking RACE governance token.

• Transactor hosters serve tables at specific levels by locking RACE governance token.

When a certain player disagrees with transactor host on settlement results, he can lock the game by submitting a lock transaction onchain. The game will remain locked until DAO researches game histories and makes decision by executing votes.

Game start

• Discovery service provides the clients with a set of games matching their level.

• Players can paticipate in games with Buyin and withdraw their assets with Claim.

• For both buyin and claim, client directly talks to the contract program on blockchain.

• By buying in, player deposits blockchain assets (fe SOL) to the game account

• By buying in, player provides public RSA key for receiving data from others in encrypted way.

• Onchain program adds the player's blockchain address to game state.

• Onchain program tracks the amount of chips.

• Transactor and all clients subscribe to the game state from Blockchain

• Transactor and all clinents verify the correctness of the data at all times.

Here is an example for the game state managed on Solana blockchain.

Data	Description
Mint Account	e.g. $USDC mint address
Stack Account	an address holding all assets
Players	player in-game states
Game Level	e.g. NL10

• Every player creates account for storing profile data on blockchain when entering DAPP.

Player states contain:

• Address to player's onchcain profile with encryption data and in-game info (Nick, PFP)

• Number of chips player has in game.

Here is an example for profile account state:

Data	Description
Nickname	String visible in-game by players
Avatar	NFT address used as avatar
RSA pubkey	used to encrypt messages by other players

• The game starts when there is enough players qualified to join the game enter the game.

• Learn about Cash & Sit-&-Go and Tournament games in Starter's guides.

Game flow

• When game starts, each hand transactor generates a deck of cards with initial encryption

• Players receive encrypted deck for decentralized shuffling process.

• After the shuffling process transactor removes initial encryption and the game starts.

• Each client may have 5 actions during the game: check, bet, raise, fold and call.

• The client commits its action to transactor.

• Transactor converts it to a game event, so anyone can see it.

• Since transactor is not trusted the client checks if the event published is correct.

• If it is not correct, the client sends transaction to lock the game, and seeks for governance

Illustration of gaming process.

• There are four stages, called streets in Texas Holdem Poker.

• They are preflop, flop, turn and river.

• 3 community cards are revealed on flop, on turn and river 1 community card is revealed.

• Each client involved in shuffling process will provide key for card decryption each turn.

• Each client and transactor will run card decryption process and see cards to reach consensus

Decentralized card shuffling	Key sharing and decryption
Encrypted communication

Locked Game

• When a game is locked, players can claim the uncontested part of their assets.

• After DAO governance, player may claim the contested assets.

• Malicious players will loose its stake granting level permissions.

• Malicious players will also be submitted to the discovery service's blacklist for a period.
