Abstract

Chaosgame introduces a groundbreaking lottery system built on the Blast network, leveraging blockchain technology to create a unique gaming experience. This paper outlines Chaosgame's innovative mechanics, including its dual ticket system, strategic gameplay elements, dynamic joker mechanics, and integration with Blast's native yield and gas revenue sharing features. By combining elements of chance with strategic decision-making and Blast's economic benefits, Chaosgame aims to redefine the lottery landscape, offering players multiple pathways to potential winnings while maintaining the security of their initial investments.

1. Introduction

Traditional lotteries have long been criticized for their purely chance-based nature and the inevitable loss of funds for the majority of participants. Chaosgame addresses these concerns by introducing a system where players can participate without risking their principal investment, while still maintaining the excitement and potential for significant winnings.

Built on the Blast network, Chaosgame uniquely positions itself to offer additional benefits through native yield generation and gas revenue sharing, creating a more rewarding and sustainable gaming ecosystem.

2. Blast Network Integration

2.1 Overview of Blast

Blast is a layer-2 scaling solution built on Ethereum, offering high throughput, low transaction costs, and unique revenue-sharing features. Its native yield generation and gas revenue sharing model provide a foundation for Chaosgame's innovative approach.

2.2 Native Yield Generation

- Blast offers a native 6% yield on USDB deposits.

- This yield is leveraged in Chaosgame to generate free lottery tickets for depositors.

2.3 Gas Revenue Sharing

- A portion of transaction fees on Blast is redistributed to users and protocols.

- Chaosgame, as an active protocol on Blast, receives a share of this gas revenue.

- This additional revenue stream enhances prize pools and contributes to the game's sustainability.

3. Core Game Mechanics

3.1 Dual Ticket System

1. Earned Tickets:

- Generated automatically from USDB deposits.

- Rate: 1 ticket per week for every 1000 USDB deposited.

- Leverages Blast's native yield to create a no-loss participation model.

2. Purchased Tickets:

- Available for direct purchase at 1 USDB per ticket.

- Allows for increased participation and higher winning potential.

3.2 The Chaoswheel

- Central randomization mechanism determining game duration and prize distribution.

- Randomly selects game duration of 8, 16, or 24 hours.

- Utilizes Gelato's secure randomness features for fairness and transparency.

3.3 Card and Joker System

- The game utilizes standard 52-card decks plus jokers.

- Cards are minted based on the number of lottery tickets in play.

- When the total number of tickets is not divisible by 52, excess cards are minted as jokers.

- If the total number of tickets is divisible by 52, no jokers are minted for that game.

- Jokers have higher chances of winning compared to standard cards.

3.4 Strategic Elements

1. Bidding:

- Players can bid on remaining cards after elimination rounds.

- Bidding on jokers may be particularly strategic due to their higher winning potential.

- Offers opportunities for quick gains and strategic positioning.

2. Holding:

- Players can choose to hold their cards or jokers through elimination rounds.

- Holding a joker may offer increased potential for larger winnings.

- Higher risk, but offers potential for larger winnings if the card survives to the end.

4. Game Flow

1. Entry: Players enter by depositing USDB (earning tickets) or purchasing tickets directly.

2. Card and Joker Assignment:

- Tickets are randomly assigned to cards from the deck(s) in play.

- Excess tickets beyond multiples of 52 are assigned to jokers.

3. Elimination Rounds: The Chaoswheel spins, determining which cards and jokers are eliminated.

4. Strategic Decisions: After each round, players decide whether to bid on available cards (including jokers) or hold their current positions.

5. Final Draw: The last spin determines the ultimate winner(s) from the remaining cards and jokers.

6. Prize Distribution: Winnings are distributed according to the final game state, with potential bonuses for joker holders.

5. Joker Dynamics

5.1 Joker Creation

- Jokers are created when the total number of tickets is not divisible by 52.

- The number of jokers in each game can vary, adding an element of unpredictability.

5.2 Winning Advantage

- Jokers have a higher probability of winning compared to standard cards.

- The exact advantage of jokers is determined by game parameters and may be adjusted for game balance.

5.3 Strategic Implications

- The presence (or absence) of jokers in a game can significantly impact bidding strategies.

- Players may prioritize acquiring or holding jokers when available.

6. Economic Model

6.1 Tokenomics

- USDB (USD on Blast network) serves as the native token.

- All deposits, purchases, and winnings are denominated in USDB.

6.2 Prize Pool Composition

1. Native Yield: 6% yield on deposited USDB.

2. Gas Revenue Share: Additional funds from Blast's gas fee redistribution.

3. Ticket Sales: Revenue from purchased tickets.

6.3 Fee Structure

- Dynamic fee ranging from 0% to 1%.

- Fee percentage is randomly determined for each game.

- Adjusted based on the number of active players.

- Lower effective costs due to gas revenue sharing benefits.

7. Technical Implementation

7.1 Smart Contract Integration

- Designed to interact with Blast's yield generation and gas revenue distribution systems.

- Automated claims and integration of accumulated gas revenue.

- Implements the card and joker system, ensuring fair distribution and enhanced probabilities for jokers.

7.2 Randomness and Fairness

- Leverages Gelato's verifiable random function (VRF) technology.

- Ensures provably-fair and tamper-proof randomization for the Chaoswheel, card eliminations, and joker creation.

7.3 Scalability

- Utilizes Blast's high-throughput capability to handle increasing player numbers.

- Gas revenue share increases proportionally with game activity, creating a positive feedback loop.

8. Benefits to Players

1. No-Loss Participation: Principal remains secure and withdrawable.

2. Enhanced Winning Potential: Prize pools boosted by native yield and gas revenue.

3. Strategic Gameplay: Opportunities for skilled players to increase odds through bidding and holding decisions, especially regarding jokers.

4. Dynamic Game Environment: The variable presence of jokers, bidding after every elimination rounds, and random game dynamics add extra layers of excitement and strategy to each game.

5. Passive Earnings: Benefit from platform's share of gas revenue even when not actively playing.

6. Reduced Costs: Lower effective fees due to gas revenue sharing.

9. Future Developments

1. Dynamic Allocation: Potential governance for player voting on gas revenue allocation.

2. Enhanced Analytics: Real-time insights into yield and gas revenue contributions.

3. Expansion: New game modes leveraging Blast's unique features and the joker system.
