Project Description
Description
Monster Duel Masters is a thrilling web-based card game. Immerse yourself in the world of Monster Cards transformed into NFTs. Play strategic battles, earn coins, acquire rare and super rare cards, and build your prized collection of NFT Monsters.
Begin your adventure by launching Monster Duel Masters with Sequence or MetaMask. Stake 50 tokens from an initial 100 to kickstart your journey and receive a starter deck of common cards. Choose 8 cards for battle, with 4 randomly assigned before each clash based on health and damage points. Victories earn you coins to expand your collection, but losing costs your staked tokens, adding a risk-reward thrill.
Explore the Card Market to trade, buy, and sell monster cards, including rare and super rare ones, enriching your collection and engaging in the in-game economy. Rise in the ranks by aiming for the top 10 on the weekly leaderboard, unlocking exclusive rewards.
Monster Duel Masters merges NFT collectibles with strategic card battles in a blockchain-based gaming universe. Join the adventure and become a master of the Monster Duel Masters universe.
Why(Problem Statement)
In the realm of blockchain gaming, privacy has emerged as a critical concern, and this is precisely the problem that Monster Duel Masters is poised to address. In most blockchain applications, including gaming, radical transparency is the norm. While this transparency is beneficial in various contexts, it poses significant challenges for players who value their privacy during gameplay.
Monster Duel Masters recognizes that in a decentralized gaming ecosystem, privacy and data security should not be compromised. To tackle this, the project is implementing a robust decentralized access control system, powered by Lit Protocol, which will be instrumental in safeguarding players' privacy in the following ways:
Level-Based Marketplace Access: New players will have to progress to a specific level within the game before gaining access to the marketplace offering rare and super rare cards. This approach ensures that players have the opportunity to master the basics before entering a more competitive card market.
Player-Controlled Profiles: Each player will have exclusive control over their profile. This means that only the player themselves can access and view their cards, protecting their collection from prying eyes and ensuring that their valuable assets remain visible to them alone.
In-Battle Special Attack Access: Access control comes into play even during intense battles. When a character's hit points drop to less than 20%, players will be granted the option of utilizing a special attack. This feature not only adds strategic depth to the game but also ensures that access to critical gameplay elements is controlled and granted based on specific conditions.
By incorporating these decentralized access control mechanisms, powered by Lit Protocol, Monster Duel Masters strives to strike the perfect balance between transparency and privacy. The project's commitment to user data security and privacy underscores its dedication to providing a safe and enjoyable gaming experience within the blockchain ecosystem.
What Will This Tool Enable?
Monster Duel Masters enables privacy-preserving on-chain gaming without relying on a centralized key custodian or access control list. Players can enjoy competitive card battles, trade NFT Monster Cards of varying rarities, and build their collections, all while maintaining control over their gaming data. This project leverages blockchain technology to create an engaging and secure gaming experience.
Note: The information provided here serves as an introduction to the Monster Duel Masters project, outlining its purpose, unique features, and the problem it aims to solve. Please be aware that this is a basic outline and may undergo slight modifications as actual development work progresses.

Benefits
Privacy Matters in Blockchain Gaming: In the world of blockchain gaming, privacy is frequently overlooked, creating challenges for players who value data security during gameplay.
Monster Duel Masters' Privacy Solution: Our project directly addresses this challenge by implementing a robust decentralized access control system powered by Lit Protocol. This ensures players' privacy in crucial areas such as marketplace access, profile control, and in-battle special attacks.
Balancing Transparency and Privacy: With these advanced measures in place, Monster Duel Masters strikes the ideal balance between transparency and privacy, offering a secure and enjoyable blockchain gaming experience.
Collaboration with LIT Protocol: We are actively collaborating with LIT Protocol to address these challenges as outlined in the RFP provided by @a1ttech. We understood the main idea behind this grant proposal from this issue here.
Deliverables
Web App: Develop a user-friendly client-side application to provide an enjoyable gaming experience. This app will seamlessly connect players to our smart contract system and backend infrastructure.
NFT Art Generator: Implement the logic necessary for crafting visually appealing card textures and generating NFT art, enhancing the game's aesthetic appeal.
Smart Contracts: Integrate and deploy smart contracts while incorporating Chainlink Keeper functionality. These contracts will automate essential game processes and ensure robust reliability. Additionally, we will establish on-chain access control logic to bolster security and user experience.
Server: Create a robust API that manages all aspects of our smart contracts and NFT art generation logic. This API will be intricately connected to a Redis database, optimizing data retrieval and system performance.
For more detailed information on each component and its progress, please refer to the roadmap section below.
Development Roadmap
Milestone 1: Card Texture Design and NFT Art Generator Logic
In Milestone 1, our primary focus is on designing intricate SVG textures for the cards, involving multiple layers that converge into a single card. This task requires meticulous work in Figma to create diverse variations of assets. Additionally, we aim to develop the NFT art generator logic, which harnesses these layers to construct the unique cards. Simultaneously, we'll establish the integration with IPFS, ensuring seamless uploads using Pinata.
Estimated Duration: 1.5 Weeks
Milestone 2: Smart Contracts and Chainlink Keeper Integration
Milestone 2 takes us deep into the realm of smart contracts, where we build the fundamental infrastructure for our project's core functionality. This phase extends beyond mere contract creation; it includes the integration of Chainlink keepers. These keepers play a pivotal role in automating and enhancing the reliability of our system, particularly concerning match-making logic and the management of in-game currency staking during battles. Additionally, we will implement the crucial NFT minting logic, allowing players to create and manage their unique in-game assets. Moreover, should the need arise, we will comprehensively address on-chain access controls to bolster security and user experience.
Estimated Duration: 1.5 Weeks
Milestone 3: Integration of Server Logic, Smart Contracts, and NFT Art Generation
Milestone 3 marks a pivotal step in our project, where we seamlessly combine server logic, smart contracts, and NFT art generation into a harmonious and cohesive unit. This integration is essential for ensuring fluid communication with the frontend, ultimately optimizing the user experience. As part of this milestone, we will create our custom Node.js API to connect to our Redis database, enhancing the efficiency and responsiveness of our system. In parallel, should the need arise, we will implement off-chain access controls, ensuring that security and user privacy are upheld throughout the platform.
Estimated Duration: 1 Weeks
Milestone 4: Web App Development and Access Control Integration
In the final Milestone 4, we embark on the creation of the web application using Angular. This phase involves the integration of all smart contracts and backend API. We'll facilitate multiple wallet connections for Sequence and MetaMask users, ensuring broad accessibility. Additionally, we'll incorporate Lit decentralized access control on crucial pages, including the Marketplace, Profile page, and Special Attacks have all of this with good aimations ufing angular.Deploy the same for it to be available for everyone to check out as soon as possible
