Introduction

U2Win is a blockchain-based horse racing game where players compete for the top rankings against 12 other racers.

Challenges

U2WIN aimed to establish itself as a leading and trusted blockchain-based horse racing game. However, several challenges stood in the way of achieving this goal:

– Robust security for assets & smart contracts: Ensuring the paramount security of user assets (NFTs, TRC2.0 USDT) and the underlying Solidity smart contracts was a critical concern in a play-to-earn environment.

– Scalability & real-time performance: The project needed to guarantee seamless scalability and real-time performance to handle simultaneous race simulations, NFT transactions, and betting activities without compromising the user experience.

– Regulatory compliance & ambiguity: Managing the complexities of regulatory compliance and legal ambiguities related to blockchain gaming and betting across various international jurisdictions presented an ongoing hurdle.

Solutions

To overcome these challenges, Hola Tech adhered to the best practices. Key components of the solution included:

– Fortify security infrastructure: U2WIN implemented a decentralized architecture where racehorse ownership and data are recorded and tracked via Solidity smart contracts, ensuring transparency and immutability. The project collaborated with Verichain for in-depth smart contract security auditing, mobile application protection, and comprehensive security solutions. For indexing and querying blockchain data efficiently, The Graph was utilized, while sensitive off-chain data was securely managed with Mongo Atlas.

– Optimize performance & scalability: To handle real-time race simulations, NFT transactions, and betting, U2WIN leveraged AWS Lambda serverless functions with Node.js for its backend operations. This architecture ensured automatic scaling to manage fluctuating demand and maintain optimal performance. The TRC2.0 USDT integration facilitated fast and efficient reward distribution.

– Ensure regulatory compliance & trust: By building on a decentralized foundation and collaborating with Verichain, U2WIN aimed to provide a secure and trustworthy environment. The project transparently communicated the risks associated with NFT virtual assets and capital loss, while committing to continuous research and development of blockchain protocols and security measures. User data and content, including NFT metadata, were efficiently managed with Mongo Atlas and Infura IPFS, ensuring data integrity and availability.
