GaTe T2E Protocol

Game Terminal introduces the GaTe (Game Terminal Task-to-Earn) Protocol, an innovative rewards mechanism designed to enhance user engagement and provide multiple avenues for earning native tokens. The GaTe Protocol integrates both In-Game Tasks and Social Engagement Tasks to create a comprehensive, dynamic, and scalable incentive model, aligning with Game Terminal’s vision of fostering a robust and interactive gaming ecosystem.

The GaTe Task-to-Earn system leverages a combination of smart contracts, oracles, and off-chain data processing to verify task completion and distribute rewards seamlessly. Players can earn tokens by completing specific tasks, categorized into In-Game Tasks and Social Tasks. Each task is designed to drive player engagement, increase platform activity, and enhance the overall gaming experience.

In-Game Task Framework (IGTF):

The IGTF is built to handle a wide range of tasks specific to each game listed on the Game Terminal platform. These tasks can include simple objectives, such as daily logins, or more complex challenges, like achieving a certain number of headshot kills or purchasing in-game NFTs.

Tasks are defined by game developers or Game Terminal, and each task is assigned a unique Task Identifier (TID). These TIDs are stored on-chain in a task registry smart contract, which allows transparent tracking and verification.

Decentralized Verification Engine (DVE):

Once a task is completed, the player's actions are sent to the Decentralized Verification Engine (DVE), which is responsible for validating task completion using a combination of on-chain and off-chain data sources. The DVE utilizes cryptographic proofs, such as zk-SNARKs (Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Arguments of Knowledge), to verify that the task requirements are met without revealing sensitive player data.

Verified tasks are timestamped, and the corresponding reward allocation is automatically executed via the task-reward smart contract.

Social Task Module (STM):

The STM incentivizes social engagement by integrating off-chain social media APIs with on-chain verification mechanisms. Players can earn rewards by completing social tasks, such as following a game’s profile on social platforms like X (formerly Twitter), joining official Telegram channels, or participating in social campaigns.

Each social task is also assigned a unique Social Engagement Identifier (SEID), which the STM tracks in real-time. Verification is performed using a blend of social media oracles and machine learning algorithms that analyze social interactions to prevent fraudulent behavior and ensure task authenticity.

Backend Verification and Reward Allocation (BVRA):

The BVRA system acts as the intermediary between task completion data (from IGTF and STM) and the reward distribution smart contracts. The BVRA processes raw data inputs from both game servers and social media platforms, validates them, and interacts with smart contracts to execute rewards distribution.

The backend uses advanced hashing techniques, such as SHA-256, for secure data processing and storage. This guarantees data integrity and prevents tampering or manipulation during the verification process.

Types of GaTe Tasks

1. In-Game Tasks:

   These tasks are integrated directly within the games or accessible via the Game Terminal platform. Task lists are dynamically generated based on player profiles, gaming patterns, and current platform activities. Examples include:

   • Daily Tasks: Login consecutively for 7 days, participate in a specific game mode, or achieve a milestone (e.g., 30 enemy eliminations).

   • Weekly Tasks: Achieve specific challenges, such as scoring a set number of headshot kills, purchasing or trading NFTs, or reaching a certain in-game level.

   • Upon task completion, the data is transmitted to the DVE for validation, and successful verification results in instant token rewards credited to the player’s wallet.

2. Social Tasks:

   • These tasks aim to boost the platform's visibility and community engagement by rewarding players for social media interactions. Examples include:

     • Follow-to-Earn (F2E): Follow game accounts on platforms like X, Telegram, or Discord.

     • Engage-to-Earn (E2E): Share game content, participate in social media polls, or attend online events.

   • The STM utilizes social media oracles to fetch data related to these interactions, and the BVRA system cross-verifies this data before authorizing token disbursements.

Security and Fraud Prevention Measures

• Sybil Resistance Protocol (SRP): A multi-layered anti-fraud system that employs behavioral analytics and AI-driven anomaly detection to prevent Sybil attacks, where multiple fake identities are created to exploit the Task-to-Earn system.

• Multi-Signature Task Validation (MSTV): Requires consensus from multiple trusted validators (nodes) to confirm high-value task completions, ensuring that no single entity can manipulate the reward distribution process.

• Rate Limiting and Throttling Controls: Implemented to monitor and regulate the frequency of task completions, preventing abusive behavior by limiting the number of tasks a user can perform in a given period.
