The problem Riptide solves
web3 gaming platforms often lack a community-first approach, leaving users with disconnected experiences:
- No private gaming rooms for exclusive community interaction.
- No cross-community challenges or competitions to foster engagement.
- Manual, fragmented processes for gaming links and prize distribution, often using web2 solutions.

- Private Gaming Rooms: Exclusive spaces for communities to connect and play.
- Community-vs-Community Challenges: Foster friendly competition and engagement.

Challenges we ran into
- Contract Integration
- Challenge: We encountered issues while integrating smart contracts into the front-end.
- Solution: With the help of Sui’s comprehensive documentation and support from the Sui team at their booth, we successfully resolved the integration challenges.
- Storing Object IDs
- Challenge: Managing and storing object IDs was problematic, as using the BCS vector for storage proved difficult.
- Solution: We overcame this hurdle by implementing MongoDB as the storage layer, allowing us to efficiently manage and retrieve object IDs.
