Technical Proposal

Functional overview of your system: RollsX is a decentralized blockchain-based betting game where players wager on the outcome of a virtual 100-sided dice roll. The core mechanic involves selecting between “Roll Over” (betting the roll will be higher than a target number) and “Roll Under” (betting the roll will be lower than a target number). Players can adjust their risk level, influencing the multiplier and potential payout. All wagers and payouts are handled in CFX tokens.

Decentralized Random Number Generation (RNG):

  • Mechanism: A provably fair, on-chain RNG system will be developed and implemented as a core smart contract. This will likely involve a combination of block hash (with careful handling of predictability), commit-reveal schemes, and potentially VRF (Verifiable Random Function) integration if available and suitable on Conflux.
  • Verifiability: Every roll outcome will be verifiable by any user, ensuring transparency and trust.
  • Tamper-Proof: The RNG design will be resistant to manipulation by miners/validators or malicious actors.

Betting Smart Contract:

  • Wagering: Players deposit CFX tokens as their bet amount.
  • Betting Modes: Logic for “Roll Over” and “Roll Under” bets, including target number selection.
  • Multiplier Calculation: Dynamic calculation of multipliers based on winning probability and platform fees, executed entirely on-chain.
  • Payout Logic: Automated payout distribution to winning players, including the original stake and profit, directly to their Conflux wallet.

CFX Token Integration:

  • Primary Currency: CFX will be the sole currency for all wagers and payouts, driving its utility and demand within the Conflux ecosystem.
  • Smart Contract Interaction: The smart contracts will handle secure transfer and receipt of CFX tokens for betting and payouts.

User Interface (dApp):

  • Wallet Connection: Seamless integration with popular Conflux-compatible wallets (e.g., MetaMask configured for Conflux eSpace).
  • Game Dashboard: Intuitive interface for placing bets, viewing real-time results, account balances, and transaction history.
  • Real-time Updates: Display of game outcomes, winning probabilities, and multipliers in real-time.

Revenue Model (Platform Fees):

  • A small, transparent platform fee (typically 1-2%) will be applied to each bet, automatically deducted on-chain before payout calculation. This fee will sustain platform operations and future development.

Winning Pool Generation:

  • The winning pool will be funded by a portion of each player’s wager.
  • Dynamic allocation of the pool based on the probabilities of outcomes and chosen multipliers.

Legal/licensing aspects (if any): The project will be developed under an open-source license (e.g., MIT License) to promote transparency and community contributions. We will comply with all relevant blockchain regulations and local laws regarding decentralized applications and gaming. We understand that the legal landscape for blockchain gaming is evolving and will continuously monitor and adapt to new regulations.
