Encrypted NFTs
Core Innovation: NFTs with two layers of information:
Public layer: Visible to all (artwork, metadata, rarity)
Private layer: Encrypted secret readable only by owner (word, coordinate, code)
Why incomplete information matters:
Traditional blockchain games have complete information—everything is public. This limits strategic depth:
Bots can see all game state → optimal play is computable
No negotiation (nothing hidden to trade)
No bluffing, deception, or social gameplay
Incomplete information unlocks:
Uncertainty: Players infer what others know
Markets: Hidden data becomes tradeable asset
Social strategy: Trust, betrayals, alliances matter
AI-resistance: Social dynamics harder to automate than pure computation
