Onicai brings smart contract-powered games to the Internet Computer

Onicai is promoting a collection of blockchain-based games that use smart contracts to verify player moves and scores, allowing users to compete against friends in games where results can be independently checked.

The platform, accessible through play.onicai.com, features several games, including chess against Stockfish, chess duels between players, golf, mini-golf and Chain-lines.

According to the project, every move takes place within a smart contract and is checked by 13 computers. The system is designed to make game outcomes verifiable and reduce the possibility of players manipulating scores.

Onicai says its development has focused on bringing technologies that are often considered difficult to run on blockchain infrastructure into practical applications. These include C++ execution on-chain, large language models (LLMs) running on-chain and AI systems capable of proving their work.

The games are designed around direct competition, with players able to challenge friends and send them invitations to play.

While blockchain-based gaming projects have explored ways to make gameplay and rewards transparent, the quality of the gaming experience, accessibility and wider player adoption remain important factors in determining their success.

Onicai is inviting users to try its games, compete against friends and challenge other players through its online platform.
