CryptoFights by FYX Gaming
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Product: CryptoFights turn based pvp fighting game
Company Name: FYX Gaming
Industry: Blockchain Gaming / Esports
Website URL: https://www.cryptofights.io
Geographic Reach: Global, with development and user base primarily in the U.S. and Europe
BSV Integration Start Date: 2020
BUSINESS CHALLENGE
What inefficiencies or risks existed:
Existing blockchain platforms (e.g., Ethereum) lacked the scalability to handle high transaction volumes required by real-time gaming.
Congestion and high gas fees made gameplay costly and unreliable.
Most blockchain games used centralized storage for assets, undermining decentralization.
Why traditional systems were insufficient:
Traditional gaming platforms could not offer transparent, on-chain gameplay history.
True ownership of in-game assets was not possible with centralized data.
WHY BSV?
Ideal attributes of BSV:
Massively scalable infrastructure that can handle millions of transactions daily.
Extremely low fees make real-time game interaction feasible on-chain.
Data integrity and on-chain traceability of every action.
Comparison to other blockchains:
Ethereum was considered but failed under transaction load (e.g., CryptoKitties).
Layer 2 solutions introduced complexity and did not solve core scalability issues.
BSV was the only chain offering scalability, decentralization, and security simultaneously.
SOLUTION ARCHITECTURE
Overview:
A BSV-integrated backend that logs every move, item, and battle outcome directly on-chain.
Key components:
Data logging: All gameplay actions (e.g., turns, battles, item usage) are recorded immutably on BSV.
Smart contracts: Used to manage dynamic in-game NFTs and item crafting systems.
Tokenization: Fighters, weapons, and arenas are represented as smart NFTs with evolving properties.
Role of partners/vendors:
Internal development by FYX Gaming team with early support from BSV ecosystem advocates.
IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS
Phases:
Initial development on Ethereum (2018–2019) revealed limitations.
Transition to BSV began in 2020.
Open beta launched in 2021, generating over 10 million daily transactions at peak.
Integration with legacy systems:
Entirely new architecture built to leverage BSV’s capabilities.
Training/onboarding:
Players onboarded via simple web interfaces and tutorials to understand blockchain-backed gameplay.
OUTCOMES & BUSINESS IMPACT
Quantifiable improvements:
Up to 10.5 million daily transactions executed on-chain.
Lower costs allowed for fully on-chain gameplay.
Enhanced traceability enables features like battle replays, competitive integrity, and cross-game interactions.
Stakeholder feedback:
Developers benefit from transparent, replayable game data.
Players experience true ownership and provable history of characters/items.
CHALLENGES & MITIGATIONS
Challenges:
Initial backend struggled with traffic surge during influencer promotion.
Mitigations:
Paused operations temporarily to rework backend.
Improved internal (not blockchain) infrastructure to reliably handle millions of transactions.
FUTURE VISION
Expansion plans:
Launch of a fully immersive, reworked version of CryptoFights.
Development of open metaverse protocol with cross-game smart NFTs.
Additional BSV functionalities:
Programmable NFTs with logic and evolution (e.g., arenas that pay royalties or evolve with use).
Inter-game asset portability and dynamic metadata.
TESTIMONIAL HIGHLIGHTS
"Our product could not exist how it does without a blockchain that can scale—and scale massively." – David Case, CTO, FYX Gaming
"We’re trying to prove it can be done differently. We’re actually putting gameplay on-chain—not just NFTs." – Adam Kling, CEO, FYX Gaming
"(On BSV) we started doing several million transactions per day. Eventually, we reached 10.5 million per day. For context, Ethereum can maybe do 1.3 million a day, Bitcoin even less. Other chains might push higher numbers but often sacrifice decentralization or security to do so." – Adam Kling
