To begin translating design into smart contract logic and backend service scaffolding for verifiable skill-based gaming.

Smart contract skeleton deployed - MatchManager.sol with createMatch(), stakeMatch(), and submitResult() functions live on BSC Testnet
Backend Node.js service initiated - REST API framework with PostgreSQL integration for player data and match tracking
MVP test game Chess selected - Deterministic skill-based outcomes with clear win/loss/draw conditions
Dual-player signature logic prototyped - Using ecrecover() to validate both players signed identical match results
Database schema drafted - Player profiles, ELO ratings, match history, and transaction logs structure defined
Development workflow established - Git branching strategy, code review process, and automated testing pipeline

Enables verifiable on-chain match settlement - Smart contracts can automatically distribute stakes based on cryptographically proven results
Uses player signatures to prevent fraud - Both players must agree on outcome before blockchain settlement occurs
Starts backend–contract communication - API layer bridges off-chain game logic with on-chain financial settlement
Establishes data persistence - Player progress, ratings, and match history stored for competitive integrity

Race conditions in match submission - Simultaneous result submissions from both players may cause conflicts
Incomplete signature salt/nonce structure - Replay attack prevention mechanism needs refinement
Game-state sync planning ongoing - Method for keeping both clients synchronized during gameplay undefined
Gas cost estimation pending - Settlement transaction costs may impact minimum viable stake amounts

Contract deployment verified - All functions callable and events emitting correctly on BSC Testnet
Database connection stability - PostgreSQL connection pooling implemented to handle concurrent match creation

Implement full EIP-712 structured data signing - Replace basic signature scheme with standardized typed data format
Create basic match controller - Backend endpoint to handle match creation, player joining, and state management
UI wireframe draft for staking screen - Design user interface for stake amount selection and match confirmation
Contract security review - Engage external auditor for preliminary smart contract vulnerability assessment
