Description

What is Fully On-Chain Gaming (A.K.A FOCG)

Fully on-chain games like Dark Forest and Loot have all interactions, behaviors, and states processed via the blockchain, serving as the game's server. These games also use smart contracts for all player actions and even allow for decentralized narratives and governance through DAOs.

General Challenges We Are Facing

Let users in web3 have a universal game account to interact with all the on-chain games

Specific Questions We Noticed as a DID open source protocol

Burner wallets in on-chain games like Dark Forest enhance user experience by automating transactions. However, the downside is quite obvious, too. Its lack of a secure and intuitive key management method makes these burner wallets ephemeral, which is not designed to be a persistent way of keeping in-game assets and game status. Users need to back up their own key (retrieved from the browser’s localdb) and migrate it to another device manually. Otherwise, the in-game assets and game status only exist on this specific account and device.

As a DID open-source protocol, we hope to give a one-station solution so that our existing users can use NextID’s avatar as their identity to interact with on-chain games. Based on that, both in-game records and assets are related to their DID.

In general, we propose to design a Game Account system similar to how Steam ID functions for all games within the Web2 world's platform.

User can access their unique game account from different devices and even different chain

The Game account can be the avatar itself or others that are bi-linked with the avatar
