Build your first onchain game with MUD in 5 minutes

Duration: 00:06:58

Speaker: Alvarius

Type: Lightning Talk

Expertise: Beginner

Event: Devcon

Date: Nov 2024

Have you ever wanted to build a game that runs fully onchain, but didn’t know where to start? In this lightning talk, Alvarius will walk you through the basics of MUD, an application framework designed for games and autonomous worlds, and build a minimal onchain game from scratch. Learn the basics, learn the tooling, and learn where to go to keep learning and building after this session.

MUD - How we built an EVM application framework from the ground up

We wanted to accomplish one simple task: put a game—with all its data and logic—on a blockchain. What followed were countless technical challenges, years of efforts, and learnings that are applicable to anyone building complex onchain apps. How should data be structured? How can complex world state stay up-to-date on the client? How do we allow multiple teams to build on one single world, without it all breaking apart? Join us as we share the pitfalls and learnings.

MUD: Past, present, and future

MUD--an open-source engine for autonomous worlds--was released two years ago in DEVCON Bogotá. Since then, it has gone through many iterations and helped many developers build their onchain games and worlds. Two years later, MUD core developer Alvarius will take stock of where we are and what the future holds for MUD.

MUD: an Engine for On-chain Games

For the past year and a half, 0xPARC and Lattice have been hard at work building MUD — an open-source engine for building on-chain games. In this talk, Justin and Alvarius from Lattice will be joined by Kelvin Fichter from Optimism, to talk about on-chain games, MUD, and an exciting new collaboration with Optimism to be unveiled on the day.

Building FullStack apps on Ethereum - SpeedRunEthereum3

In this session, we’ll build a fullstack app on Ethereum using Scaffold-ETH v2. We’ll follow along SpeedRunEthereum, a set of challenges that helps you quickly get hands-on with building on Ethereum. Together, we’ll create a simple Decentralized Staking App—an app that lets users lock up their tokens & earn rewards. This session is great for both beginners and more experienced devs looking to level up their skills and get practical with Ethereum.

Challenges Developing and Maintaining Open Source Software in Web3

Producing high-quality developer tools for the Web3 ecosystem is a challenging task that requires significant effort (and funding). Many of the best and most used tools started out as a lone hackers side-project, and then evolved into longer-standing projects by being absorbed into a larger companies efforts. In this talk, we'll share RV's open-source tool development story, and discuss what a better future could look like.

Farcaster frames: building embeddable Ethereum apps

Frames are an open standard for creating embeddable, interactive apps in social media feeds and on the web. They help solve one of the hardest problems for Ethereum dapp developers: distribution. Although frames originated on Farcaster, it's now possible to build cross-platform frames that work on Farcaster, Lens, XMTP, and the open web. In this hands on workshop we'll introduce the core concepts behind frames and build a simple frame app that interacts with a smart contract.

Austin Griffith – Intro to Scaffold-ETH 2 and SpeedRunEthereum!

In this session, we’re going to dive into Scaffold-ETH v2, a toolkit we built to make developing on Ethereum way easier. We’ll take a look at how it works, why it’s super useful for quickly spinning up projects, and how we can use it to tinker with smart contracts and hook up the frontend. ⚙️ Scaffold-ETH 2 is built using NextJS, RainbowKit, Foundry/Hardhat, Wagmi, Viem, and Typescript. Whether you’re new or experienced, we’ll get you to SpeedRunEthereum!

Verifier Alliance: inside of the contract verification pipeline

The talk will guide you through a smart-contract verification process step by step while introducing some technical details and challenges verification services have to handle. Will describe what we have learned building "Verifier Alliance" - a new collective that unites different verification providers to have an open and shared database of smart contracts (verifieralliance.org).
