A 2D platformer game which uses NFTs for characters and ERC20 tokens for the in-game currency.

Made with Unity version 2021.3.16f1.

The inspiration for Fantom Run came from the increasing popularity and potential of NFTs and blockchain technology in the gaming industry. The aim was to create a unique gaming experience by combining traditional 2D platformer gameplay with the ownership and collectibility of NFTs and the use of ERC20 tokens for in-game currency.

Fantom Run is a 2D platformer game that uses NFTs for characters and ERC20 tokens for in-game currency. Players can collect and own unique NFT characters, each with its own set of skills and abilities. The in-game currency can be used to purchase upgrades and other in-game items.

The game finds application in token airdrops. Conventional airdrops have numerous downsides such as:

• Spam and security risk
• Technical complexity
• Bland nature of eligibility tasks
• Token volatility

The game can be integrated with airdrop campaigns and used as a gamified token airdrop platform. In this way, sybil resistance is possible to a satisfactory extent. It also offers a better and interactive user experience, which is beneficial for increased participation and outreach.

Fantom Run also provides provision for staking the earned tokens. Some of the benefits offered by staking tokens are:

• Encourages long-term HODLing
• Lowers token volatility
• Reduced risk of market manipulation
• Users earn passive income in the form of rewards
