Decentralized category with challenges from OP Guild, Avalanche, Thirdweb, and Arcadia

This year’s Decentralized category in the js13kGames competition offers four different challenges presented in a way you can easily participate in all of them at once.

Those are:

- OP Guild Challenge: create a game that makes use of NPCs
- Avalanche Challenge: interact with the Avalanche blockchain
- Thirdweb Challenge: implement Thirdweb TypeScript SDK
- Arcadia Challenge: submit your entry to the Arcadia platform

So in theory, your entry can include an NPC (Non-Player Character), you can interact with the Avalanche blockchain to do a transaction using Thirdweb’s TypeScript SDK, and when you’re done you can submit that entry to the Arcadia platform.

Each challenge offers a prize pool of 1300 USDC with the top1 being 500 USDC, so the overall prize pool is 5200 USDC and if you win all four you’ll sweep 2000 USDC with a single entry! If you don’t win worry not as top10 entries in every challenge gets cash prizes for participation anyway.

Winners will be selected by panels of experts supported by their respective teams: Paul Gadi (OP Guild and Arcadia), Andrew Cooper (Avalanche), and Juan Rivera Perez (Thirdweb).

If you don’t know where to start make sure to check the Decentralized landing page for details, look into the provided resources, and join our Slack or Gamedev.js Discord (there’s #js13kgames channel) to ping us and ask specific questions, we’re here to help!
