Introducing Neural Arena

General

Introduction

Neural Arena is a decentralized web3 game platform, implementing a world-first approach where users employ their AI-enhanced NFT characters (AI players) to compete against each other in matches to improve their NFT’s experience (XP) and to win prizes in crypto.

Leveraging features only present on the Internet Computer, our platform runs game matches fully on-chain, with NFT players utilizing their “artificial brains” (neural networks) to play against one another.

In simple terms, Neural Arena is the ideal fusion of gaming, cryptocurrency, and AI. There are no empty promises, no false partnerships, no plans of impossible to do AI on-chain, no “magic” web3 app that could perform much better in web2, no token without utility.

TL;DR

  • Each NFT contains the visual features (the 3d model with animations) and the skills (the parameters of its artificial neural network) trained using deep reinforcement learning (RL). All the contents (the NN data, the 3d model and the sound effects) are stored on-chain.

  • All games run 100% on-chain to ensure no match can be manipulated as there are no external interferences, making hacking impossible.

  • The platform is independent of the games and NFT’s hosted. Developers will soon be able to publish their own games and NFT collections using our Canister Development Kit (CDK) and our NFT generator.

  • Neural Arena will be fully open-source upon the launch of its SNS Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO).

Bellow you can watch the result of a 1-minute match featuring 3 players. If needed, matches can last several minutes with dozens of players competing simultaneously.

It was executed entirely on-chain, using data stored fully on-chain from the NFT and game canisters.

The NFTs are ICRC-7 and include not only the visual representation and traits but also the 3D models with animations and the neural network parameters for each skill learned through deep reinforcement learning.

Without a random number generator, timers, deterministic time slicing, WASM, and cheap storage and compute costs, this project would be impossible to be done. This unique combination is only available on the Internet Computer. No other blockchain protocol comes close in terms of performance, cost, or features!

Note: Both the game and NFT are for testing and demonstration purposes only, using CC0 models, textures, music, and sound effects that will be replaced in the final versions. The platform is game and NFT agnostic, allowing anyone to publish their own games and NFTs using our tools and CDK.
