What We’ve Built Together - Pika Moon

Introduction

Pikamoon is a AAA Web3 play-to-earn (P2E) game set in the immersive world of Dreva, offering players a unique blend of exploration, combat, and NFT-based gameplay. Initially built on Ethereum, Pikamoon faced challenges related to high gas fees and scalability. Our team collaborated with Pikamoon to develop staking contracts, implement a Merkle-proof-based claim system, and transition the platform to a custom EVM-compatible blockchain, enhancing performance and reducing costs.

Client Background

Pikamoon aims to redefine the gaming experience by integrating blockchain technology with engaging gameplay. Players can earn PIKA tokens through various in-game activities, including battles and quests. However, operating on Ethereum led to high transaction costs and limited scalability, affecting user experience and platform growth.

Challenges

Pikamoon's primary challenges included:

• High Gas Fees: Ethereum's network congestion resulted in costly transactions, deterring user engagement.
  
  

• Scalability Issues: The platform required a more efficient blockchain solution to support its growing user base.
  
  

• Limited Functionality: The need for secure staking mechanisms and a reliable claim system for presale bonuses.

Solution

Our team implemented the following solutions:

1. Staking Contract Development: Created a secure staking contract on Ethereum, allowing users to stake PIKA tokens and earn rewards.
   
   

2. Merkle-Proof Claim System: Developed a Merkle-proof-based contract enabling presale holders to claim their bonuses efficiently and securely.
   
   

3. Custom EVM-Compatible Blockchain: Assisted in migrating Pikamoon to a custom EVM chain, reducing transaction costs and improving scalability.
   
   

4. NFT Contract Development: Built robust NFT contracts to support in-game assets, enhancing the gaming experience.

Results

• Reduced Transaction Costs: Transitioning to a custom EVM chain significantly lowered gas fees, making the platform more accessible to users.
  
  

• Improved Scalability: The new blockchain infrastructure supported a growing user base without compromising performance.
  
  

• Enhanced User Engagement: The staking and claim systems provided users with additional incentives, boosting platform activity.
