At Zypher Games, our mission is to transform the experience of on-chain gaming, leveraging cutting-edge AI and Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) into our gameplay for seamless, provably-fair and fun experience.
We are focused on crafting engaging card games and casual games, all fully built on-chain. This strategic approach enables us to offer a sophisticated, interactive gaming experience and enables intricate in-game economics such as play-to-earn models. Our repertoire extends beyond these, delving into the intriguing world of social deception games and Trading Card Games (TCGs), thereby offering a diverse range of gaming options to cater to a broad spectrum of gaming enthusiasts.
Our first game, zBingo, is currently live on Linea Mainnet. As a fully on-chain version of the notoriously popular game Bingo, zBingo represents our commitment to seamlessly integrating traditional gaming forms into the blockchain world.
Zypher Games distinguishes itself in the gaming world by delivering comprehensive on-chain gaming experiences. Every player interaction, from individual actions to asset acquisition and achievement unlocks, is recorded on the blockchain. This grants players absolute ownership and control over their gaming journey. The powerful combination of AI, ZKP, and on-chain gaming guarantees not only an exciting gameplay but also a provably fair, interoperable, and customized gaming environment.
Fully on-chain gaming heralds a new era in the gaming landscape, providing verifiable ownership of in-game assets, unprecedented decentralization, heightened community interaction, attractive incentives, and unmatched security. However, the endeavor to create a fully on-chain game presents its unique challenges, from coping with blockchain speed and scalability, securing tamper-proof randomness, to addressing the inconvenience of frequent signature requests.
In our approach to game design, AI plays an instrumental role in facilitating dynamic, immersive, and tailored gaming experiences. Whether it’s about enhancing the matchmaking process or creating intelligent non-player characters (NPCs), AI serves as a core tool for a seamless and enhanced gaming experience
ZKP is another critical component in our gaming platform, as it guarantees configurable privacy and transaction integrity while ensuring efficient on-chain interactions. These cryptographic protocols permit the verification of concealed information without disclosing it, thus enabling games to preserve hidden mechanics and information on a blockchain where all transactions are broadcasted to any third party.

zBingo, our first demo game, is live on the Linea Mainnet (Beta Version) and is coming to multiple partnered networks. As a fully on-chain instance of the notoriously popular game of Bingo, each zBingo move translates into a blockchain transaction, reaffirming your ownership of the gameplay.
zBingo harnesses the power of ZKPs to provide provably fair gameplay by conducting on-chain validation of data at multiple stages throughout the game. This application of ZKPs enhances the gaming experience by shortening wait times and establishing a trustless, equitable process to prevent collusion.
The introduction of AI into zBingo takes the gameplay to the next level by reducing the time spent on matchmaking, enabling the game to begin almost anytime a player enters the game. Moreover, the deployment of AI bots armed with anti-collusion mechanisms, facilitates an environment of fairness and integrity in gameplay.
To begin, each participant generates their unique 5x5 Bingo card populated with random numbers between 1 and 36. The specific layout of the grid card is encrypted to other players and only known to its owner.
Once matchmaking is completed, players take turns selecting numbers from their own grid card. A selected number is “played” and marked off for any players that have that number on their grid card. The first player to complete two (2) lines (horizontal, vertical or diagonal) wins the round.
