PlayVerse :  A Web3 Game Streaming and Community Tournament Platform on SUI Blockchain

📝 Table of Content

🚀 Vision

PlayVerse's vision is to create an immersive, impartial and inclusive ecosystem for web3 gamers worldwide.

🧐 Problem Statement

  1. Centralised streaming platforms exploit streamers' hard work and community influence through unfair compensation practices, lacking transparency and consensus.

  2. Gamers invest significant time and money in games without receiving ownership, alignment, or governance, highlighting the absence of a GameFi streaming infrastructure for crypto and NFT payouts.

  3. Transitioning from web2 game publishers' methods of acquiring and retaining users (paid ads, paid media) to a Web3 approach based on contribution (airdrops, referrals, engagement) is needed.

💡 Idea / Solution

PlayVerse is an interactive online gaming and learning platform that provides live gaming tutorials and tournaments for games built on the Sui blockchain.

The next evolutionary step is towards the Gamefi streaming platform. Create a sustainable ecosystem running on blockchain where game publishers, streamers and the gamer community all benefit from the contribution.

We empower streamers by eliminating high commission rates, eradicating arbitrary increases imposed solely by the company, significantly reducing holding periods for funds, providing clear and concise guidelines regarding account bans based on legal matters, ensuring complete transparency, and fostering a strong sense of community consensus. By doing so, we restore the integrity of the streaming ecosystem and bolster the invaluable influence and support that streamers have diligently cultivated to achieve remarkable success.

💡 Challenges We ran into

SUI Blockchain

We are using SUI blockchain which is based on Move language for smart contract implementation. It is quite new for us as we have developed on Solidity and Rust only earlier. We learned lots of new things especially faced lots of issues with move contract integration with frontend. SUI team is very helpful and supportive and provided us with the required resources and docs to resolve the issues.

ZK Login Issue

We are trying to implement ZK login for the users to login to the platform using Google account. We are using @mysten/zklogin which is quite new and facing few issues with docs implementation.

LivePeer Integration

We are trying to integrate LivePeer for live streaming of the games. We have integrated the LivePeer SDK with the frontend but facing issues with the LivePeer API. Took us some time and we have successfully solved the issue.
