Cryptonaughts

Project kickoff funding released upon blueprint approval.

Deliver functional Stacks authentication within the Unreal Engine 5 environment, allowing players to log in and verify identity through their Stacks wallets. This milestone will include wallet connection integration, player data binding, and a seamless login experience for both test and live environments. The feature should demonstrate real-time wallet-based session validation and provide a technical demo of Stacks identity used within gameplay. Deliverables include a short gameplay video showing wallet connection inside the client, updated source code samples, and technical documentation for other developers interested in implementing similar integrations. $1650

Integrate and test real in-game Stacks transactions, enabling players to send, receive, or earn STX within the gameplay experience. This milestone focuses on building and validating the transaction layer connecting Unreal Engine to Stacks, ensuring smooth flow between in-game actions and blockchain confirmations. Deliverables include a working demo where transactions are visible on-chain, with confirmation logs and player test reports. Documentation and sample scripts will be published for developer reuse. This phase also sets up the foundation for future DeFi and NFT mechanics inside Cryptonauts.

Launch Cryptonauts Season 0, featuring at least two playable maps, two distinct game modes, and live player rewards powered by Stacks yield. Deploy the functional multiplayer client to Steam and activate dedicated servers for online play. Players will compete for yield-generated prizes, marking the first fully operational GameFi experience on Stacks. Deliverables include a public release trailer, community event to onboard new players, Season 0 analytics (participation, wallet activity, transactions), and a post-launch developer update summarizing ecosystem impact and performance.
