Infinigods Piggy Banks: Explained
Infinigods 'Piggy Banks enable the trading of in-app, offchain, premium currencies, unlocking a player-owned economy.
Historically, premium currencies in mobile games have been sold strictly by developers with no off-ramp for players. Now, using the power of the blockchain, players can own a slice of their progress and achievements — and monetize that experience.
Through competition and gameplay progression, players can collect Fate, a special offchain currency that can be bundled into a Piggy Bank. Piggy Banks are minted as an ERC-1155 and can be freely traded on the King Of Destiny Marketplace & sold to other players.
How thirdweb empowered Infinigods to build the King of Destiny & more
The King Of Destiny Marketplace exists as a PWA (Progressive Web Application) and lives alongside the King Of Destiny app, which allows the game to support crypto products while complying with Apple’s policies.
The in-game marketplace allows players to trade their in-game items and assets effortlessly, without the need for signing transactions or paying gas fees. While the tech under the hood is cutting-edge, to the user, it looks & feels just like web2.
Infinigods deployed thirdweb's MarketplaceV3 smart contract to power the experience, and used thirdweb Connect to abstract away all complexity for the players. Here's how:
- Players could sign-in using their Email, Apple or Facebook account, powered by thirdweb's in-app wallets.
- Players can purchase Piggy Banks using their credit card, powered by thirdweb Pay .
- Transactions are completed onchain, without the player having to sign a transaction or pay gas. To enable this, Infinigods used thirdweb's Account Abstraction toolkit, generating smart accounts for every player. Infinigods sponsor the txns ensuring the players are not burdened with paying gas fees.
With these core functionalities unlocked, Infinigods community members can now trade, buy, and sell in-game items and assets, creating a thriving player-owned economy within the game.
