1. Introduction

Bitcoin Arcade Zone is a skill-based gaming platform built on Bitcoin Layer 2 technology. Players compete in arcade games for real Bitcoin prizes, with all transactions secured by the Bitcoin network through Citrea's zkEVM rollup.

Vision

We believe gaming should be fair, transparent, and rewarding. By building on Bitcoin L2, we combine the security of Bitcoin with the speed and low costs needed for real-time gaming.

Key Principles

  • Bitcoin Native: All prizes paid in BTC, secured by Bitcoin's proof-of-work
  • Skill-Based: No gambling - winners are determined by skill alone
  • Transparent: All prize distributions verifiable on-chain
  • Instant Play: No wallet required to start - create identity in seconds

2. Bitcoin L2 Architecture

Bitcoin Arcade Zone runs on Citrea, a Bitcoin Layer 2 that uses zero-knowledge proofs to inherit Bitcoin's security while enabling smart contracts.

Why Citrea?

  • Bitcoin Security: All state transitions are verified by Bitcoin
  • EVM Compatible: Full Solidity support for smart contracts
  • Low Fees: Transactions cost fractions of a cent
  • Fast Finality: Sub-second transaction confirmation

3. Smart Contracts

Our smart contracts handle game registration, score verification, and automated prize distribution.

Contract Architecture

🎮 BitcoinArcadeGame.sol

Core game contract. Registers games, validates scores, and triggers prize distribution. Uses OpenZeppelin's ReentrancyGuard and Pausable patterns.

🏆 DailyLeaderboard.sol

Maintains daily rankings with automatic reset at 11pm EST. Stores top 100 scores per day with player addresses.

💰 PrizeDistribution.sol

Automated prize pool distribution using hyperbolic decay. 30% to 1st place, with decreasing amounts to top 10.

🎖️ SoulboundNFT.sol

Non-transferable achievement NFTs. Minted for milestones like "First Win", "100 Games Played", etc.

4. Game Flow

Complete technical flow from player arrival to prize distribution.

Step 1: Player Arrives

PWA loads in under 0.3 seconds. Device fingerprinting creates unique player identity without requiring wallet connection.

Step 2: Identity Creation

Nickname system creates player identity (e.g., "Player#A1B2"). Embedded wallet generated client-side for future Bitcoin L2 transactions.

Step 3: Free Game or Payment

First game each day is free. Additional games: $0.25 per game or $2.50 unlimited day pass. Payments via Apple Pay or crypto.

Step 4: Gameplay

HTML5 Canvas game engine with anti-cheat verification. Scores validated server-side before leaderboard submission.

Step 5: Score Submission

Score submitted to Cloudflare Workers API. Validated and stored in KV. Leaderboard updated in real-time.

Step 6: Daily Reset & Prizes

At 11pm EST, smart contract calculates rankings and distributes BTC prizes to winner wallets automatically.

5. Quark Economy

Quarks are the in-platform reward token, earned through gameplay and learning.

Earning Quarks

  • Gameplay: 1 Quark per 1,000 points scored
  • Academy: Complete lessons to earn Quarks
  • Achievements: Bonus Quarks for milestones
  • Daily Login: Streak bonuses

Using Quarks

  • Game Access: Spend Quarks instead of BTC for games
  • Cosmetics: Unlock game themes and effects
