Avax-Gods: The Problem It Solves

Introduction

Avax-Gods is an innovative blockchain-based NFT card game that provides a decentralized and strategic gaming experience. By leveraging blockchain technology, Avax-Gods addresses multiple pain points in the traditional gaming industry, such as lack of transparency, centralized control, lack of true asset ownership, and limited player incentives. The game integrates wallet-based authentication, smart contract-driven battles, and NFT-powered gameplay to ensure fairness, security, and engagement.

Problems in Traditional Gaming & How Avax-Gods Solves Them

1. Lack of Asset Ownership in Traditional Games

  • Problem: In conventional games, players do not truly own the in-game assets they acquire. Items such as skins, weapons, and characters are controlled by the game developers, and users cannot trade them outside the game ecosystem.
  • Solution: Avax-Gods uses blockchain and NFTs to give players full ownership of their in-game cards. These NFT cards can be transferred, sold, or traded on decentralized marketplaces without relying on the game developers.

2. Centralized Control & Lack of Transparency

  • Problem: Most games are controlled by a centralized entity, meaning that the developers or companies can modify rules, manipulate matchmaking, or restrict access to game assets.
  • Solution: Avax-Gods runs on smart contracts deployed on the blockchain, ensuring that game mechanics, rewards, and asset transfers are transparent and immutable. Once a battle is initiated, the outcome is determined by predefined smart contract logic, eliminating the risk of manipulation.

3. Pay-to-Win Mechanics & Unfair Monetization

  • Problem: Many traditional games use a "pay-to-win" model, where players who spend more money have a significant advantage over others. This creates an unfair experience for users who cannot afford to invest heavily in the game.
  • Solution: Avax-Gods balances gameplay with strate

Avax Gods Problem

Challenges We Ran Into

During the development of Avax-Gods, we encountered several hurdles that required creative problem-solving. One of the most significant issues we faced was high gas fees while making a move in the game. The high gas fees caused move transactions to fail, forcing players to redo their move. This issue was clearly observed in our video demo.

The Problem: High Gas Fees

When a player initiated a move, the transaction was sent to the blockchain. However, due to fluctuating gas prices and network congestion, many transactions either failed or took an unexpectedly long time to confirm. This resulted in a frustrating user experience, as players had to retry their moves multiple times, consuming additional gas fees.

How We Overcame It

To tackle this issue, we implemented the following strategies:

  1. Gas Optimization in Smart Contracts:

    • We refactored the Solidity code to reduce unnecessary storage operations.
    • Used memory instead of storage wherever possible.
    • Optimized the logic in the battle mechanics to reduce redundant computations.
  2. Batch Processing Moves:

    • Instead of processing individual moves separately, we grouped certain operations together.
    • This reduced the total number of transactions, thus saving gas fees.
  3. Using Layer 2 Scaling Solutions:

    • Explored Avalanche Subnets for cheaper transaction costs.
    • Considered integrating Polygon’s L2 scaling solutions to reduce congestion.
  4. Gas Fee Estimation & Alerts:

    • Implemented a system to estimate gas fees before making a move.
    • If gas fees were too high, users received a prompt to wait for a lower gas period.
  5. Retry Mechanism with Gas Adjustment:

    • If a transaction failed due to gas, the system automatically suggested adjusting gas limits.
    • Users were given an option to increase the gas fee slightly for a faster confirmation.
