Project Description

EthBet.games is a cutting-edge online casino platform that leverages the power of blockchain technology to offer a provably fair gaming experience. At its core, EthBet operates on Pixel L3, a Layer 3 solution built on top of the Base-Sepolia chain, which itself is a Layer 2 implementation using OpStack by Optimism. This architecture enables EthBet to optimize transaction costs significantly, achieving minimal gas fees and enhanced transaction throughput ideal for gaming applications.

Technical Infrastructure

  1. Base-Sepolia Chain: As a Layer 2 solution, Base-Sepolia provides a robust and scalable foundation for the Pixel L3 chain. This underlying infrastructure is crucial for handling the increased transaction load associated with online gaming platforms.
  2. Pixel L3 Chain: Developed using Conduit, a deployment tool designed for ease and efficiency in blockchain operations, Pixel L3 is a bespoke Layer 3 chain tailored specifically for EthBet. This layer is where all gaming transactions occur, ensuring that each game is not only fast and efficient but also transparent and fair.
  3. PTH Photon ERC20 Token: Deployed on the Base-Sepolia chain, the PTH Photon token serves as the custom gas token for the Pixel L3 chain. This integration underscores the seamless interoperability between the layers and provides a unified token economy that enhances user experience. The token details can be viewed on the Base-Sepolia's block explorer: PTH Photon Token - https://base-sepolia.blockscout.com/token/0x9A686d58FEd4C086916C5c6f55FC12Ade1Df58E5

Gaming and Fairness

  1. Limbo Game: Limbo is one of the premier games offered on the EthBet platform, running entirely on the Pixel L3 chain. This game exemplifies the seamless integration of blockchain technology into the gaming logic, ensuring that each transaction related to the game is recorded on the blockchain for transparency and trust.
  2. Integration with Pyth Network's Entropy: A key feature of EthBet is its use of Pyth Network’s Entropy for random number generation. This system provides a decentralized, secure, and trustless mechanism to generate random numbers, which are critical for maintaining fairness in casino games. The use of Pyth’s Entropy ensures that the outcomes of games on EthBet are provably fair, meaning they can be verified independently by players for authenticity and fairness.

Vision and Future Goals

EthBet.games is poised to redefine online gaming by integrating blockchain into every aspect of its operations. The use of a Layer 3 solution on a Layer 2 chain exemplifies a forward-thinking approach to leveraging blockchain technology, not just for improving transaction efficiencies but also for enhancing game integrity and player trust. As EthBet continues to grow, it aims to expand its suite of games and further innovate in the areas of secure, transparent, and fair gaming solutions.

How it's Made

Deployment and Infrastructure

OpStack by Optimism: We leveraged OpStack to efficiently deploy Pixel L3 on Base-Sepolia. OpStack’s toolset and Optimism’s Layer 2 solutions provide the scalability and security necessary for high-frequency gaming transactions. Conduit.xyz: The deployment of our Layer 3 chain was facilitated by Conduit.xyz, which harnesses the robust framework provided by OpStack. This allowed for a streamlined setup and integration with Base-Sepolia, ensuring a solid and reliable foundation for our gaming operations. Security and Fairness

Pyth Entropy: To guarantee fairness in game outcomes, we integrated Pyth Network's Entropy for random number generation directly into our smart contracts. This ensures that each game result is verifiably random and secure, bolstering trust with our users. WorldID Integration: Utilizing WorldID, we implemented a unique login system that prevents exploitation by ensuring each user is verified through device and orb verification. This not only enhances security but also improves the overall quality of user interactions on our platform. Frontend and Smart Contracts

Next.js and Solidity: Our gaming interfaces are developed using Next.js, providing a responsive and intuitive user experience, while the backend smart contracts are crafted in Solidity. This tech stack is optimal for developing interactive web applications that interact seamlessly with Ethereum-based smart contracts.

Tokenomics and Blockchain Interaction

Custom Gas Token (PTH Photon ERC20): Deployed on Base-Sepolia, Photon ERC20 acts as the custom gas token for transactions within Pixel L3, enhancing transaction efficiency. ETHBet and Trxhandler Contracts: The core of our token operations is managed by the ETHBet ERC20 and Trxhandler smart contracts on Pixel L3, facilitating game-related transactions and token management.

Blockchain Explorer: We've set up a Blockscout explorer on our servers linked to Pixel L3 for transparent and easy tracking of on-chain activities, promoting transparency and user trust. Performance and Scalability

Sub-second Block Finality: Our Layer 3 chain boasts sub-second block finality, thanks to the performance optimizations provided by OpStack. This feature is critical in gaming contexts where transaction speed and reliability are paramount. Innovations and Notable Hacks

Layer 3 on Layer 2 Architecture: One of our key innovations is the deployment of a Layer 3 blockchain on a Layer 2 solution, pushing the boundaries of blockchain scalability and efficiency in gaming. Integration Synergy: The seamless integration of technologies like Pyth Entropy for randomness, WorldID for authentication, and Conduit.xyz for blockchain deployment demonstrates our commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to enhance user experience and security.
