We are thrilled to unveil a monumental leap in the development of Fracture Point, our upcoming tactical TPS game. While our interactive lobby prototype provides a glimpse into the player experience, the true revolution lies in the meticulously crafted on-chain smart contracts and the robust Alith Architecture that power our innovative Proof of Play ecosystem.
This past month has been dedicated to building the immutable bedrock of Fracture Point’s Web3 capabilities, focusing on decentralized ownership, verifiable progression, and a player-driven economy.
Fracture Point: The Game Skill, Strategy, and True Digital Ownership
Fracture Point is designed as a high-octane, tactical third-person shooter that demands precision, strategic thinking, and teamwork. We are building a fiercely competitive environment where your skill and dedication are not just recognized, but are fundamentally integrated into the game’s core value system.
Prepare for:
- Intense FPS Combat: Master diverse weapon loadouts and tactical maneuvers in dynamic, high-stakes engagements.
- Deep Customization: Personalize your agents and unique “variants”, making your mark on the battlefield.
- Competitive Progression: Climb verifiable leaderboards, earn genuine rewards, and truly own your in-game achievements.
The Proof of Play Revolution: Rewarding Skill On-Chain
Our commitment to Proof of Play is the defining feature of Fracture Point. This is not a concept; it’s a core, on-chain mechanism ensuring that your active engagement and skillful performance directly translate into verifiable, immutable value and progression within the game’s ecosystem.
How Proof of Play works in Fracture Point, powered by our contracts:
- Verifiable Achievements: Through the GameAchievementRegistry.sol contract (which is part of our ClaimManager system), your significant in-game achievements and progression milestones are immutably recorded on the blockchain. This provides transparent, provable recognition for your dedication and skill.
- Skill-Based Rewards: Our FPToken (FracturePoint Token), serving as XP, is minted to players based on their in-game performance (e.g., in Rift events), authorized exclusively by our trusted Alith Oracle. This ensures that rewards are earned through genuine gameplay.
- On-Chain Progression & Badges: Your accumulated FPToken (XP) can then be burned via the ClaimManager contract to claim unique Rank Badges (ERC-721 NFTs) from the RankBadge.sol contract, signifying your seasonal achievements and skill tier. This process is entirely on-chain, making your rank verifiable and owned.
- Player-Driven Ecosystem: This interconnected system ensures that the game’s economy and value are directly influenced and shaped by the collective activity and skilled contributions of its player base.
This ensures Fracture Point rewards genuine skill, time invested, and proven performance, fostering a fair, transparent, and truly player-owned gaming experience.
Our Core Architecture: Dedicated Smart Contracts and The Alith Framework
The true innovation behind Fracture Point lies in its robust, interconnected smart contracts and the strategic implementation of the Alith Architecture.
1. The Alith Architecture: Our Tailored Blockchain Game Framework
Fracture Point leverages a bespoke implementation of the Alith Architecture. This is our comprehensive, modular framework meticulously designed to seamlessly integrate blockchain technology without compromising gameplay performance. It intelligently separates:
- On-Chain Components: Our smart contracts (FPToken, RankBadge, ClaimManager) handle critical, immutable data like XP (FPToken) balances, Rank Badge (NFT) ownership, and verifiable achievements. This ensures decentralization, security, and provable ownership. The Alith Oracle acts as the trusted off-chain authority that bridges game outcomes to on-chain actions, such as distributing XP and authorizing badge claims.
- Off-Chain Backend: High-frequency game logic, real-time matchmaking, complex physics calculations, and volatile player statistics run on a performant off-chain backend. This guarantees a smooth, low-latency, and responsive gameplay experience, unburdened by blockchain transaction times and gas costs.
- Secure Interoperability: A robust and auditable communication layer ensures seamless and secure data flow between our contracts (governed by the Alith Oracle) and the off-chain game server.
2. Fracture Point’s Core Smart Contracts (Audited & Interconnected)
We have successfully designed, developed, and prepared for deployment the foundational smart contracts that power Fracture Point’s Web3 economy and the Proof of Play mechanics. These contracts work in concert:
- FPToken.sol (FuturePoint Token) : This ERC-20 token represents XP within the Fracture Point ecosystem. It’s designed specifically for in-game progression:
- Minted by Alith Oracle: Only the designated alithOracle can mint new FPToken to players (e.g., via distributeRiftXP) based on game outcomes.
- Burned by ClaimManager: The ClaimManager contract is uniquely authorized to burn FPToken (XP) from player balances when they claim Rank Badges, creating a clear utility and economic loop.
- Non-Transferable (Player-to-Player): Significantly, direct player-to-player transfers of FPToken are disabled. This ensures FPToken remains a pure XP/progression token, preventing speculative trading and focusing its value on in-game achievement.
- RankBadge.sol (Fracture Point Rank Badge) : This ERC-721 NFT contract represents unique, season-specific Rank Badges that players can earn.
- Minted by ClaimManager: Only the ClaimManager contract is authorized to mint new Rank Badges to players, ensuring badges are earned through the proper Proof of Play mechanism.
- Immutable On-Chain Proof: Each badge is a unique NFT, providing verifiable, immutable proof of a player’s achievement for a given season and rank.
- ClaimManager.sol : This is the central orchestrator contract, linking FPToken (XP) to Rank Badges (NFTs) and acting as the bridge to the Alith Oracle.
- Manages Badge Claims: Players claim badges via ClaimManager, which then verifies their XP balance, burns the necessary FPToken from their account, and instructs RankBadge.sol to mint the new NFT.
- Season Management: It tracks the currentSeason, ensuring players can only claim one badge per season.
- Karma Evaluation Requests: It facilitates requests for off-chain “Karma” evaluations by the Alith Oracle, hinting at deeper player behavior analysis.
- Alith Oracle Integration: It designates and relies on the alithOracle for authorizing badge claims and distributing rewards based on verified game data.
