PROJECT OVERVIEW

  • Product: Frobots, a blockchain-based competitive coding game where users program digital robots that battle each other in virtual arenas.

  • Website URL:

  • Industry: EdTech, Gaming, Competitive Programming

  • Geographic Reach: Global (initially targeting developers and educational institutions)

  • BSV Integration Start Date: 2022

BUSINESS CHALLENGE

Existing Gaps in Learning & Gaming:

Traditional e-learning platforms often emphasize creativity (drawing, storytelling, animation), but few engage learners in computer science through competition. Existing learning games lack depth, longevity, and real-world coding applicability. Esports, while competitive, do not teach transferable technical skills.

Lack of Ownership & Permanence in Digital Learning:

User-generated content in many platforms lacks permanence and ownership. Digital creations are platform-bound and not truly owned by users.

WHY BSV

Key Advantages of BSV:

  • Ultra-low fees: Enables high-volume microtransactions without cost-prohibitive friction.

  • Stable protocol: Suitable for long-term development and asset permanence.

  • High scalability: Supports thousands of gameplay-related transactions on-chain.

  • Data integrity: Ensures players retain ownership of their robots and upgrades indefinitely.

Compared to Other Blockchains:

Platforms with volatile fees or limited throughput would be cost-prohibitive for Frobots’ transaction-intensive model. BSV provides reliable cost predictability essential for a platform reliant on frequent NFT interactions.

SOLUTION ARCHITECTURE

System Overview:

Frobots is a blockchain-based e-learning game where users write code to control digital robots (Frobots) that battle in virtual arenas. Every robot and its upgrades are tokenized as NFTs stored on the BSV blockchain.

Key Components:

  • Digital Asset Layer: Built on Asset Layer (a BSV-based infrastructure) for minting and managing NFTs representing robots and parts.

  • Smart Contracts: Frobots' logic is akin to lightweight Bitcoin smart contracts, representing autonomous, upgradable code entities.

  • Tokenization: Each robot (and its parts) is an NFT, maintaining identity, ownership, and performance history over time.

Partner Involvement:

Integration with Asset Layer to handle game-specific NFT infrastructure.

IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS

Rollout Phases:

  • Conceptual R&D: Exploration of BSV computational capabilities and smart contract viability.

  • Beta Launch: Public gameplay trials, initial robot battles, NFT creation and testing.

  • Ongoing Development: Expansion into progression systems, digital economy, and user-generated content marketplaces.

Onboarding & Community:

Initially targeting computer science enthusiasts and hobbyist programmers; expanding to high school and tertiary education sectors through competitive coding formats.

OUTCOMES & BUSINESS IMPACT

Learning & Skill Development:

  • Provides learners with engaging, goal-driven exposure to programming.

  • Encourages self-learning through gamified, competitive environments.

Asset Ownership:

  • Users own robots and upgrades permanently.

  • Robots retain recorded performance history—establishing provenance, rarity, and legacy.

Early Feedback & Adoption:

  • Positive engagement from early beta testers.

  • Demonstrated feasibility of a “digital life” system on-chain.

CHALLENGES & MITIGATIONS

  • Challenge: Maintaining affordable transaction costs as game usage scales.

Mitigation: Selecting BSV for its reliably low fees and proven scalability.

  • Challenge: Aligning game economy with real-world incentives without creating a speculative token economy.

Mitigation: Game design avoids tying user success to crypto investments; focuses on coding skill, not financial speculation.

FUTURE VISION

Planned Expansions:

  • Introduction of economic roles beyond players (e.g., upgrade forgers, NFT part creators).

  • Launch of NFT marketplaces for robot components.

  • Development of progression systems tied to experience, time, and performance.

Further BSV Functionalities:

  • Micropayment-enabled upgrades and rewards.

  • Expanded NFT customization and trading.

  • On-chain performance history, achievements, and tournaments.

TESTIMONIAL HIGHLIGHTS

“Frobots is just the exploration of digital life in competitive coding.” — Jerry Chan, Creator “Your code is your robot. We don’t own your creation—you do. That’s Web3.” “With BSV, our platform can scale without users ever needing to buy crypto.” (paraphrased)
