Technical Architecture

Tapzi is engineered for performance, fairness, and transparency — combining the best of off-chain responsiveness with on-chain integrity. Our architecture supports a secure, scalable, and enjoyable gaming— delivering a seamless, fair, and tamper-proof experience.

Game Engine: Off-Chain Execution, On-Chain Settlement

Tapzi’s hybrid architecture delivers lightning-fast gameplay with blockchain-level trust:

• Real-Time Gameplay: Matches run off-chain on our high-performance servers, ensuring millisecond latency and seamless interactions.

• Result Validation: At match end, both players cryptographically sign the final game state hash.

• On-Chain Settlement: Signed results are submitted to our smart contracts, which verify integrity before releasing funds.

• Secure Fund Distribution: The contract automatically allocates staked $TAPZI tokens to the winner, eliminating manipulation risk.

This model provides: • Lag-free gaming without compromising decentralization • Minimal gas costs—users only pay for final settlement • Verifiable fairness via immutable on-chain records

Smart Matchmaking System

Our adaptive ELO-style ranking ensures balanced, competitive matchups:

• Skill-Based Pairing: Players face opponents of similar rank, preventing mismatches and boosting engagement.

• Smurf Protection: Dynamic rating adjustments detect and deter multiple-account abuse.

• Continuous Progression: The algorithm learns from each result, evolving to keep challenges fresh.

Anti-Cheat & Fair Play Infrastructure

Integrity is non-negotiable. Tapzi employs:

• On-Chain Match Records: Every result is immutably stored, enabling community auditing.

• Replay Audit Tools: Dispute resolution is supported by replay analysis for post-match verification.

• Cryptographic Timestamps: Each signed action carries a tamper-proof timestamp.

• Client-Side Validation Checks: Our engine detects unauthorized inputs or client modifications before settlement.

No bots. No rigged outcomes. Just provable, skill-based competition.
