Vaulten: A New On-Chain Puzzle Game on Neo N3 MainNet
Vaulten has recently made its debut on the Neo N3 MainNet, bringing with it an exciting new on-chain puzzle and logic game inspired by escape rooms and cryptographic riddles. Players can now immerse themselves in weekly and monthly challenges of varying difficulty levels, all while vying for NFT rewards and even the chance to win GAS prizes.
Gameplay and Mechanics
In the world of Vaulten, players are thrust into a narrative where “the Vault” once held the Source Keys to a perfect chain. However, a rogue faction known as The Architects has scattered the Vault across multiple smart contracts, each one locked behind intricate cryptographic puzzles. By solving these puzzles, aptly named “Proof of Wit,” players can unlock new rewards.
Players will need to spend GAS to submit their guesses on-chain, and if correct, they can claim an exclusive NFT reward. These NFTs will be proudly displayed in a virtual “Vault” linked directly to the player’s wallet. Additionally, successful puzzle solvers may also receive occasional GAS payouts.
The puzzles within Vaulten are categorized into three tiers of difficulty:
– Surface layer (easy): Featuring recently exposed code fragments that are unstable but accessible.
– Deep node (medium): Hidden within old contracts and protected by complex logic loops.
– Core cipher (hard): Obfuscated by The Architects themselves, with only a select few reaching this challenging level.
Funding and Community Support
Vaulten received backing from the GrantShares community funding DAO, which unanimously approved a funding allocation of 2,300 GAS on Sep. 10. The project aims to be a free, community-driven initiative designed to foster engagement within the Neo ecosystem.
Launch Incentives and Anti-Farming Measures
To celebrate its launch, Vaulten is hosting a rewards campaign running until Oct. 11. During this time:
– Each puzzle attempt grants 0.05 GAS (up to two attempts per puzzle).
– Each solved puzzle awards 0.1 GAS.
– Only wallets with a transaction history are eligible for rewards.
– Newly created wallets or those that have only received GAS and solve a puzzle on the first try will be disqualified to prevent farming of rewards.
Outlook and Impact on Neo
Vaulten introduces a fresh and innovative approach to user engagement within the Neo ecosystem. By combining cryptographic puzzles with on-chain mechanics and collectible NFTs, the game aims to attract both casual players and tech-savvy individuals to explore Neo’s capabilities in a fun and interactive setting.
The team behind Vaulten plans to boost on-chain activity through engaging puzzle designs, community involvement, and a careful balance between rewards and GAS costs. As a unique experiment in interactive learning and ecosystem activation, Vaulten stands out as one of the most creative dApps currently available on Neo N3.
