What is Ludopoly?

Ludopoly is a decentralised strategy game built on blockchain technology. Players explore a cryptographic map of the world, searching for a hidden treasure using a combination of movement, strategic cards, and deductive reasoning. Every position is protected by zero-knowledge proofs, meaning no other player or observer can see where you stand.

How does the fog of war work?

Your position is stored on-chain as a Poseidon cryptographic hash — a fingerprint that cannot be reversed without your private secret. When other players observe the blockchain, they see opaque hash values. Without your secret, those values are meaningless. Only strategic cards specifically designed to surface or reveal hash information can create paths through the fog.

What happens to my progress if I stop playing?

Your Account NFT holds your accumulated XP, reputation, and social connections permanently. Nothing is lost from inactivity. Your card inventory — WorldFeatureCards held in your wallet — are also persistent outside of sessions. Only cards burned during gameplay are consumed permanently.

Can I play on different blockchain networks?

Yes. Ludopoly is deployed across many blockchain networks simultaneously. Your Account NFT and game progress are associated with your wallet address, which is consistent across networks. The platform's native token can be moved between networks using the built-in cross-chain bridge infrastructure.

How does the treasure claim process work?

When you believe you are standing in the correct country, you initiate a claim. The Treasure Oracle receives your zero-knowledge proof, verifies it against the hidden treasure location, and if there is a match, generates a signed authorisation. You submit this authorisation to the smart contract, which verifies the signature and distributes your reward. The oracle's key is stored in a hardware security module and never exposed to the server environment.

What does it mean for an Account NFT to be soul-bound?

It means the token cannot be transferred to another wallet address under any circumstances. The transfer restriction is enforced at the smart contract level, not as a policy. This design ensures that reputation and progression cannot be bought or sold — they can only be earned through play.
