[AW5] - Squirrly 🏅

We've integrated cypher onboarding sdk into our auto-connect wallet function.

Squirrly revolves around quest creation and completion. Users are presented with a daily quests in the form of branching choose-your-own-adventure stories that impact their position in a political value matrix which informs their team formation in round two. The groups are then given quest proposals to vote on together.

Squirrly is a silly, game about squirrel politics and morals. Users mint a squirrel NFT and are presented with daily quests which are branching choose your own adventure stories. The choices sometimes result in them earning more acorns, the native squirrel currency, but always impact their position in our 4 dimensional political value matrix. After two weeks, the game moves to phase two where players are clustered into value-aligned communities and given group scenarios where they must vote how to respond. Differently aligned communities will have different choices and abilities based on their position in the matrix. A market-aligned community would have acorn-weighted voting for instance and an isolationist community would be able to attack. Offline communities will arise as the groups coordinate their responses. One interesting, final thing to think about is that we can create value-aligned DAOs by minimizing average distance of players in the clusters, but we can create DAOs that hate each other by maximizing the average distance within the clusters. And the game is playable whichever way we choose to implement it. Further integrations with social profiles like lens and farcaster can create persistent communities that live in the squirrly space and can use our value-alignment model to on-board creators to their meta-labels.

A dev's access to a blockchain is only as good as their rpc node's access to the blockchain. Having a decentralized network of nodes is so valuable, because it provides greater assurance that our access to the chain is consistent and reliable. Pokt's decentralized nature also provides general support to the sustainable decentralization of blockchain technology by helping to disincentivize one actor controlling many nodes. Squirrly is an NFT game which forms DOAs around the ideologies of its players, and for DAOs to function properly, they must always be able to read and write from chain. We are proud to use the Pokt network for Squirrly, because our organizations are values-aligned and Pokt network makes our project better.

Squirrly is a tool for creation of value aligned communities and could be used for meta-label admission and launch. A low-fee L2 with a thriving NFT ecosystem is the perfect place for our game that uses the NFT as a data object to track users position in a 4-dimensional political space. It's also a perfect low-fee environment to onboard new users to web3 with account abstracted wallets, log-in with e-mail, and gasless transactions, all while minimizing the dev cost.
