Problem and Solution

What’s broken today

• Speculative growth ≠ users. Airdrops, perps, and hype spikes produce churn, not durable players.

• Bots/AI ruin fair play. Complete-information puzzles and farmable social quests bias toward scripts and farms.

• Unsustainable GameFi. Faucet-first tokenomics collapse when sinks are an afterthought.

Skullcoin’s answer: human-skill loops, public proofs of outcome, and sink-first economies.

Design Principles

1. Human-skill first. Perception, timing, partial information, and social reading beat automation.

2. Provable fairness. Everyone can reconstruct “who won and why” from public logs.

3. Sinks before faucets. Every reward stream has a counterweight at launch.

4. Simple rails. Payments in the host chain’s native assets; assets as NFTs; VRF where randomness matters.

5. Composable layers. Modules interoperate but never hard-depend on a single chain or contract set.
