Want to do something different in blockchain gaming? Broaden the horizons of what we currently know? Check out the following for inspiration:
- Turn-Based games - Take a look at Ultrachess or build something simple like Tic-Tac-Toe to get you started!
- Card games - Use cryptographic protocols and pre-existing libraries like libTMCG for secure and fair play online. Refer: Poker
- Decentralized Sports Betting - See also: Ballaum - FIFA Worldcup betting DApp
- AI v AI games - Have programmable scripts compete with each other. See also: Screeps
- Cellular automaton simulation with game logic - Think of Conway's Game of Life, Wireworld, Forest Fire, Langton’s Ant. Refer: LIFE
- Other interesting games for inspiration: Core war: 2D CPU, MMO Dwarf fortress, OPCraft
Explore digital identities in the Web3 era and get inspired by:
- Reputation layer - Build automated and user-defined reputation scores within an SQLite database. See also: Attestation Station (Optimism)
- Decentralized identicons : Build unique profile pictures using the user's Ethereum address. See also: Blockies
- Identity verification - Explore OpenCV applications in a decentralized manner. Refer: Biometrics on Cartesi Rollups
Use SQLite and Cartesi Rollups assets template to build tools for DAOs. Complement the tools with other ideas discussed here.
- Decentralized Kickstarter - A tool to raise funding for community projects
- Decentralized Voting - A fully decentralized variant of Snapshot running on Cartesi Rollups. Refer: Voting DApp on Cartesi Rollups
- Build a fully decentralized bounties and grants dashboard. See also: Gitcoin
Looking to bring something new to the NFT space? Why not try:
- Generative art NFT minter - Check Mandelbrot set for NFT designs See also: AutoGlyphs
- Self-evolving Soulbound NFTs
- AI Artist - Explore the possibilities of a decentralized text-to-image generator. See also: Stable Diffusion
Looking to bring machine learning or AI applications to blockchain? Explore the possibilities with these ideas:
- Build an m2cgen example with a new target dataset and algorithm. See also: On-chain House price prediction
- k-Nearest Neighbour - build DApps using knn algorithm, think of image classification(Refer: Iris Classifier), recommendation systems, signature recognition and more.
- Think of DeSci - Build a verifiable compute solution
- Voice-based account verification to prove identity on-chain.
Help strengthen tools for developers in the ecosystem by building things like:
- Alarm clock - Cron jobs to schedule tasks to run inside the Cartesi Machine
- IPFS data sharding framework
- Generic Marketplace framework (using SQLite)
- Build a template around decentralized oracle for real-world data (IoTEX or software-based solutions)
- Build a learn-to-earn model for Cartesi Rollups - Make users complete certain tasks within a Rollups DApp and reward them in form of CTSI vouchers.
- Think for DeFi tools that execute compute intensive tasks - An order book exchange, a sophisticated trading bot or think of insurance based solutions with IOT inputs.
