Play-to-Earn Gaming Platform on educhain chain

eduRcade is a skill-based competitive gaming platform built on the educhain chain where players can earn real rewards through mini-games. Inspired by platforms like MPL and Winzo, our platform enables users to compete in simple yet engaging games with entry fees, creating prize pools where winners earn real value in the form of educhain tokens.

🎮 Project Overview

eduRcade serves as a trustless intermediary, leveraging educhain chain for transparent and secure prize distribution. Players convert educhain tokens into platform points, which they use to enter competitive game rooms. After competing in skill-based mini-games, winners receive prize pools (minus a small platform commission).
