Technical Architecture
Tapzi is engineered for performance, fairness, and transparency — combining the best of off-chain responsiveness with on-chain integrity. Our architecture supports a secure, scalable, and enjoyable gaming— delivering a seamless, fair, and tamper-proof experience.
Game Engine: Off-Chain Execution, On-Chain Settlement
Tapzi leverages a hybrid architecture designed for fast-paced gameplay and blockchain-level trust. Here’s how it works:
Real-Time Gameplay: All game matches are executed off-chain to ensure minimal latency and smooth interactions.
Result Validation: At the end of each game, both players sign the final game state or result hash.
On-Chain Settlement: This signed data is submitted on-chain, where smart contracts verify the outcome.
Secure Fund Distribution: The smart contract automatically distributes the staked TAPZI tokens based on the verified result, eliminating any possibility of manipulation.
This hybrid model enables:
Lag-free gaming without sacrificing decentralization
Low gas usage for users
Verifiable fairness through cryptographic signatures and immutable settlement
Smart Matchmaking System
Tapzi employs a dynamic, ELO-style ranking system that evolves with player performance. This ensures:
Fair matchups between users of similar skill levels
Protection against smurfing and rank manipulation
Continuous challenge and progression for every player
Our matchmaking algorithm adapts over time, learning from user history to deliver increasingly competitive gameplay.
Anti-Cheat & Fair Play Infrastructure
Fairness is central to Tapzi. To maintain game integrity and protect real players, Tapzi includes multiple anti-cheat layers:
On-Chain Match Records: Each game’s result is immutably stored on-chain, enabling community-led verification and transparency.
Replay Audit Tools: Dispute resolution is supported by match replays, allowing for post-match scrutiny if required.
Cryptographic Timestamps: Every signed action is timestamped, preventing manipulation or replay attacks.
Client Validation Checks: Tapzi’s client-side engine ensures that tampering or unauthorized behavior is detected and flagged before match settlement.
No bots. No rigged outcomes. Just provable skill-based competition.
