This project then aims to embark on this POC led research work to design and develop a working game that proves (or disproves) these aspects of blockchain use in the gaming space (and by assumed extension, into the metaverse space).
Please refer to the MESIG Gaming Community page for further info on initiatives under this area:
Following resource are helpful in understanding principles of decentralized identity and SSI:
...
1) A mini game project that can be used by interested parties to study and extend design patterns for implementation of decentralized identity and payments in gaming space
2) A three-part research paper with following parts?:
a) Introduction to Identity & Payments in Gaming (current landscape & players, major platforms, limitations if any)
b) Deep Dive into Use Cases of Blockchain/Decentralized Technology in Gaming (for identity & Payments)
c) Best Practices, Architectural Frameworks, Design Patterns and Governance for implementing decentralized identity & payments in Gaming
Relation to Hyperledger
This project aims to work in close collaboration with various Hyperledger projects such as Indy & Aries for identity, Besu as Ethereum client and Firefly for digital assets implementation and bridge to other projects and chains. This project will also involve close coordination with other Linux Foundation communities such OWF and ToIP as well as W3C (in particular and Metaverse Standards Forum (for reference on standards).
