[DIS] WarSpore · Saga — A Fully On-Chain Card Game for CKB & BTC
Quick Demonstration
Summary
This proposal is submitted to the Community Fund DAO, requesting a grant to complete the remaining feature development, launch, and marketing of WarSpore · Saga.
ETA to Completion: Q3 2026
Grant Amount Requested: $30,000 USD (current CKB price of $0.00164 USD; approximately 18,282,682 CKB, subject to the CKB price at the time of funding)
CKB Funding Address: ckb1qrgqep8saj8agswr30pls73hra28ry8jlnlc3ejzh3dl2ju7xxpjxqgqqy0ys2vape8w6wkyzzpawj2jyclwkra0svksf33u
Overview
WarSpore · Saga is a fully on-chain Roguelike card game running on the CKB blockchain, inspired by Slay the Spire. It combines PVE, PVP, and UGC modes to build a complete on-chain economic loop. All core game logic is verified on-chain with no centralized server required — a complete on-chain game implementation on CKB.
The game is already deployed on the CKB testnet (https://warspore-saga.xyz/), featuring over 150 card designs, a complete PVE experience, an on-chain NFT asset system based on the Spore/DOB protocol, and an original tokenomics model.
This grant request totals $30,000 USD equivalent in CKB, covering: the wrap-up work for Milestone 1, Milestone 2 (PVP with Fiber integration), initial SAGA token liquidity provisioning, and a bug bounty program.
Background: From 18 Months of Quiet Development to the First Project Funded at Spark’s Highest Tier
Development began in March 2024. In November of last year, the project was accepted into the Spark micro-grant program at its highest funding tier ($2,000 USD), with all funds disbursed upon verified delivery. Full progress records: Spark Program — WarSpore · Saga.
During this period, the project produced 7 high-value community articles systematically covering game design philosophy, gameplay mechanics, tokenomics, the fully on-chain technical approach, thoughts on the future of on-chain gaming, and Fiber Network integration:
- WarSpore · Saga Game Introduction
- Project Introduction & Reflections
- Gameplay Deep Dive
- Tokenomics Analysis
- Fully On-Chain Technical Approach
- Future Outlook of GameFi
- Fiber Lightning Network Technical Discussion
These articles have fostered in-depth community discussion on “building fully on-chain games on CKB” and represent high-value content delivered to the ecosystem before the official launch.
Why Now?
CKB possesses highly capable underlying technology — the UTXO model, an off-chain computation / on-chain verification programming paradigm, the Spore/DOB protocol, the Fiber lightning network, the RGB++ protocol, and more. Yet consumer-facing application-layer products within the ecosystem remain scarce, and high-quality projects that can translate technical excellence into compelling market narratives are extremely rare. There is a significant gap between technology and the market, and bridging that gap requires packaging these technologies into projects that can be perceived and recognized by the broader market.
WarSpore · Saga was conceived precisely to convert CKB’s technical advantages into game experiences that players can actually feel, driving real user growth to the ecosystem. Additionally, the game will position itself within the BTC ecosystem by integrating BTC-friendly wallets such as UniSat and OKX, opening a gateway to a much broader BTC user base — fully aligned with CKB’s strategic goal as a BTC Layer 2.
Who Is Building It?
Nickname: Crybaby (@vimchain)
Role: Lead Developer
Background: 4 years of PC online game development experience, 2 years of EOS DApp and blockchain game development, 5 years of CKB-related development.
Strengths: Combined background in both gaming and blockchain industries. Having entered the space in 2018, the developer has experienced multiple bull and bear cycles, followed major market trends, used a wide range of ETH ecosystem projects, and accumulated rich experience in the crypto space.
Scope & Milestone Plan
Over the past 18 months of development, a large amount of foundational work has been completed — including the on-chain game engine, VRF randomness, asset contracts, save system, and WASM infrastructure. This groundwork underpins all future milestones, which means development velocity for Milestones 2 and 3 will be significantly higher.
Milestone 1 · Wrap-Up ($2,000 USD) | Est. 1 Month
Deliverables:
- Internationalization: Develop multi-language support, introducing a Chinese/English bilingual interface to lower the barrier for Chinese-speaking users
- BTC-Friendly Wallet Integration: Integrate UniSat and OKX wallets to open the door for BTC users
The core goal of Milestone 1 is to complete all remaining non-gameplay work that is scattered but necessary, ensuring stable operation across multiple platforms and wallets, and laying a solid foundation for the game’s final launch.
Timeline: 0.5 months development + 0.5 months testing
Milestone 2 · PVP Mode with Fiber Lightning Network Integration ($16,000 USD) | Est. 4–5 Months
Deliverables:
- Develop PVP battle mode using the Fiber Lightning Network: players negotiate the price and quantity of the game token SAGA, deposit matching token pairs into a Fiber channel, and the winner takes on the seller role to sell their SAGA tokens — enabling on-chain instant P2P settlement based on combat outcomes
- Introduce a decentralized Relayer service to coordinate the interaction flow within Fiber channels, operable by anyone, ensuring the decentralization of PVP battles
- Outsourced production and optimization of related game UI (included in this milestone’s budget)
- During development, continuously report issues encountered to the Fiber team, advancing the maturity of the Fiber protocol
Ecosystem Significance:
WarSpore · Saga will become the first deck-building game in the Fiber ecosystem, and currently the deepest gamified integration of the Fiber Lightning Network in the CKB ecosystem. The PVP mode will not only validate Fiber’s viability in a gaming context but also serve as a reference implementation for future developers exploring Fiber applications.
Technical Highlight: Leveraging Fiber’s PayToPaymentHash mechanism to lock wagered assets; the winner unlocks the payment by obtaining the loser’s Preimage — maximizing on-chain fair settlement while minimizing off-chain interactions.
Timeline: 3–4 months development + 1 month testing
Milestone 3 · UGC Mode & RGB++ Ecosystem Integration
Deliverables:
- Introduce UGC (User-Generated Content) mode: players can create in-game backstory lore. Using a mechanism similar to “dPOS + longest-chain rule”, the game’s backstory is generated through decentralized collaborative authorship — the community fully decides what story the game ultimately tells
- Combine DOB and RGB++ protocols to store player-created UGC content on the BTC chain via the RGB++ protocol
- Introduce a community proxy voting mechanism for the game token: the highest-voted UGC content will be incorporated into the official game lore, with resulting token rewards distributed proportionally by vote count
- Outsourced production and optimization of related game UI (included in this milestone’s budget)
Ecosystem Significance:
The UGC mode transforms players from content consumers into co-creators, and brings more interesting content-driven application scenarios to the DOB and RGB++ protocols — strengthening the link between the BTC and CKB ecosystems through community participation.
Timeline: Development paused for now. After Milestones 1 and 2 are shipped to mainnet, we will observe market feedback and then decide whether to proceed as a follow-up plan.
Building Initial Liquidity · SAGA/CKB Trading Pair ($10,000 USD)
The game token SAGA can only be earned through PVE mode — players receive token rewards by defeating monsters, with pre-mining and private sales prohibited at the contract level. To ensure market liquidity for SAGA, this budget will be used to establish the initial SAGA/CKB trading pair on UTXOSwap:
- $5,000 USD equivalent in CKB: to purchase SAGA tokens from players (purchase price TBD)
- $5,000 USD equivalent in CKB: as paired funds to inject into the liquidity pool, officially initiating the price discovery mechanism for the SAGA token
This simultaneously provides players with an early instant liquidity channel, incentivizing genuine gameplay behavior, while establishing a transparent price discovery mechanism for SAGA — also indirectly increasing CKB trading activity on UTXOSwap.
Bug Bounty ($2,000 USD)
Establish a public bug reward program, offering CKB rewards to users who discover valid game vulnerabilities or submit constructive gameplay feedback, encouraging community participation in testing and improving game security and stability.
Budget Breakdown
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Development, outsourcing, testing, maintenance & contract deployment | $18,000 USD |
| SAGA/CKB liquidity pool construction | $10,000 USD |
| Bug bounty | $2,000 USD |
| Total | $30,000 USD |
Of this total, $12,000 USD (40%) is entirely allocated to the market side of the game, including liquidity provisioning. These funds will flow directly or indirectly back to ecosystem users and the community — the team will not retain them.
Fund Release Plan
Funds are released in stages, strictly tied to milestone acceptance, reducing risk for the ecosystem:
| Phase | Trigger Condition | Amount Released | Purpose |

时间安排： 3 ~ 4 个月开发 + 1 个月测试
第三里程碑 · UGC 模式与 RGB++ 生态集成
工作内容：
- 引入 UGC（用户生成内容）模式：玩家可在游戏内对游戏进行背景故事创作，以类似 “dPOS + 最长链法则” 实现游戏背景故事的去中心化式的协作化生成，游戏最终将具有怎样的背景故事将完全由社区决定
- 结合 DOB 与 RGB++ 协议，将玩家创作的 UGC 内容通过 RGB++ 协议发送到 BTC 链上储存
- 引入游戏代币的社区代理投票机制：得票最高的 UGC 内容将融入正式的游戏背景，由此产生的游戏代币收益按投票数量平均分配
- 相关游戏 UI 外包制作与优化（含于本里程碑预算）
生态意义：
UGC 模式将玩家从内容消费者转变为内容共创者，并为 DOB 与 RGB++ 协议带来更为有趣的应用场景，用社区化的方式强化 BTC 与 CKB 生态的链接。
时间安排： 暂停开发，待第一和第二里程碑上线主网后，观察市场反馈情况再看做后续计划
构建初始流动性 · SAGA/CKB 交易对（$10,000 USD）
游戏代币 SAGA 仅能通过 PVE 模式产出，玩家通过击败怪物获得代币奖励，在合约层面杜绝预挖与私募。为保障 SAGA 代币的市场流动性，此预算将用于在 UTXOSwap 上构建 SAGA/CKB 初始交易对：
- $5,000 USD 等值 CKB：向玩家收购 SAGA 代币，收购价格待定
- $5,000 USD 等值 CKB：作为配对资金注入流动性池，正式启动 SAGA 代币的价格发现机制
此举一方面为玩家提供了早期的即时变现渠道，激励真实的游戏行为；另一方面为 SAGA 代币建立了公开透明的价格发现机制，也能间接增加 UTXOSwap 上 CKB 的交易活跃度。
