Monthly Recap: June 2025
Hey ZkNoid community!
June has been a month of deep building and major milestones. From smart contract architecture to UI design, from game logic to marketing prep, we’re laying solid foundations across the board.
Here’s what we accomplished this month!
Orbirium
In June, we officially announced our latest project, Orbirium, built in collaboration with Zeko Labs and Silvana.
Orbirium is a cross-chain idle crafter powered by the speed of SUI Network and Zeko’s zero-knowledge proof infrastructure for privacy-preserving gameplay. It merges the addictive mechanics of idle clickers with the depth and permanence of blockchain gaming.
At the heart of Orbirium lies one objective: forge as many Black Orbs as possible. These mysterious orbs are key to unlocking magical upgrades, advancing through tiers of power, and mastering automation systems across your realm.
Players will click, craft, and automate their production pipelines — balancing active play with passive efficiency. Orbirium is on track to launch this summer, right alongside Zeko Boom.
And that’s just v1.
If the community loves the first release, we’re ready to scale up fast with Orbirium V2, cranked up with multiplayer features and strategy-based battles.

ZkNoid 6-month Roadmap
We dropped a full roadmap outlining our development plans from now through Q1 2026.
Here’s what’s on the horizon for Orbirium and Wizard Battle:
- July — Orbirium V1: Idle Crafter. It’s launching on the SUI Devnet and the Zeko testnet, giving players their first experience in the world of Orbirium.
- August & September — Orbirium v2: PvP Battle Arena. If the community loves v1, we’ll crank it up with multiplayer features and strategy-based battles.
- September & October — Wizard Battle. We’ll be completing the core game mechanics, designing the first characters and environments, finalizing backend systems and smart contracts, and conducting internal testing.
- October & November — Wizard Battle Testnet. Here, Wizard Battle will become fully playable. We’ll release the game, polish the UI/UX, add animations and sound effects, and open the game up for the public on testnet.
- November & December — Final Mainnet Prep. Through the end of 2025, we’ll be focused on fixing bugs, auditing contracts, and preparing Wizard Battle for mainnet launch.
- Q1 2026 — Wizard Battle Mainnet Launch. The journey leads to a full mainnet release of Wizard Battle on Mina!
Development
Smart contracts
This month, we finalized and implemented the core contract infrastructure for both o1js and Move environments.
Here’s the full breakdown:
- Designed and implemented the contracts architecture for both o1js (Mina) and Move (SUI).
- Deployed fully working versions of both contract sets.
- Created test suites to validate all key contract flows.
- Fully integrated contracts into the frontend
Frontend
We created and structured the Orbirium repo, fully implementing:
- Game layout
- Resource fields, interactive game elements
- Leaderboard integration
- Micro animations and event-based effects
- UX polish like tips, beams, and state transitions
- Resource lock/unlock states for progression logic
Wallets, Auth, and Security
- Implemented wallet connection logic using a unified modal system
- Developed key pair generation for both SUI and Mina
- Enabled secure key storage and request queuing from the database
- Added authorization middleware for protected tRPC routes, using signed wallet messages
Design and UX
Built out the UI and UX for:
- General gameplay interface
- Interactive Resources Map
- Leaderboard
- Selected the illustration assets and finalized the visual style
- Chose background music and sound effects
ZkNoid is building games that blend blockchain logic with fun-first mechanics, and June was a massive leap forward. With Orbirium and Wizard Battle advancing in parallel, we’re entering a phase of rapid iteration and community rollout.
