Full Story
GangstaVerse is hosting the first-ever cross-chain gaming tournament, GangWars: Multi-Chain Tournament, following funding through the ICON Contribution Proposal System (CPS). This tournament will allow players from the ICON and BASE blockchains to compete for a shared prize pool. The tournament's gameplay will be based on the GangWars game (currently live on both the BASE and ICON blockchains), with cross-chain features made possible through ICON’s Cross-Chain Framework.
Gaming through ICON’s Cross-chain Framework
GangstaVerse is the latest dApp to leverage ICON's Cross-chain Framework and General Message Passing (GMP), also being the first to use custom relays for a standalone connection, independent from other dApps like Balanced.
The upcoming GangWars: Multi-Chain Tournament will utilize ICON GMP to synchronize data between the ICON and BASE blockchains, ensuring a seamless gameplay experience. This technology will handle everything from updating game states and managing teams to locking equipment and processing tournament passes across chains.
Tournament Structure and Prize Pool
The GangWars: Multi-Chain Tournament is structured in four key phases:
Registration Phase: Players can register from either the ICON or BASE blockchain. The registration fee is set at $3, but players can also secure a spot by participating in ongoing campaigns to earn Tournament Passes. Additionally, those who join on ICON using GangstaBet NFTs of level 6 or higher, register for free.
Team Selection: After registration, players will be grouped into teams, ensuring a diverse mix of participants from both blockchains. This phase will be critical for strategizing and building a strong team dynamic.
Group Stage: Teams will compete in a series of matches to determine the top performers. This stage will be intense, with every match influencing who advances to the next phase.
Bracket Stage: The final stage of the tournament, where the top teams face off in a knockout format to determine the ultimate champion.
The tournament's prize pool is designed to grow with participation. It starts at $3,000 from the treasury, but as more players join, the pool increases. For every player milestone reached, an additional $500 will be added to the prize pool, potentially reaching a total of $7,000. Furthermore, 50% of all entry fees will also be added to the prize pool, making the stakes even higher.
How to Participate
Players interested in joining the tournament should keep an eye on GangstaVerse's social media channels or join their Discord Server, where details about ongoing campaigns and free Tournament Pass opportunities will be shared. Early engagement can secure participants a spot in this historic event.
With the integration of ICON’s Cross-Chain Framework, this cross-chain tournament is expected to set a new standard for blockchain gaming, offering players from different ecosystems a chance to compete and collaborate like never before.
