Technical Architecture
The technical architecture of AImpact is designed to support complex AI nurturing, dynamic world simulation, and a blockchain economy, ensuring high performance, scalability, and seamless player experience. Below is the detailed design of core technical modules:
Blockchain Infrastructure
Base Protocol:
Utilizes Ethereum Layer 2 solutions (e.g., Arbitrum or Optimism) for low-latency, high-throughput transaction processing and reduced Gas fees.
Optional support for Polkadot’s cross-chain protocol enables asset interoperability with other blockchain games.
Smart Contracts:
AI NFT Contract: Based on the ERC-721 standard, it records the AI’s unique ID, attributes, and growth log, with metadata update functionality.
Economy Contract: Issues the AImpact Token (AIM) under the ERC-20 standard, managing token distribution, staking, and trading.
Validation Contract: Employs Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) to verify AI task completion and behavior outcomes, ensuring fairness and privacy.
Decentralized Storage:
AI growth data and player asset metadata are stored on IPFS (InterPlanetary File System), linked to on-chain records via hashes for data permanence and accessibility.
AI Simulation Engine
Core Model:
A lightweight neural network (simulated version) supports AI attribute growth and behavior generation, running on off-chain servers to reduce computational costs.
A pre-trained language model (a simplified version akin to Grok) powers AI dialogue, enabling natural language interaction.
Behavior Generation:
AI decision logic dynamically adjusts via reinforcement learning, with inputs including player choices, mission outcomes, and resource states.
Key behaviors (e.g., ethical decisions) are validated on-chain for consistency and tamper-proofing.
Distributed Compute:
Players contribute idle GPU power through the blockchain network for tasks like AI training or world event simulation, earning token rewards.
Compute contributions are logged on-chain, forming a decentralized compute pool.
Frontend and Backend Design
Frontend Framework:
Built with the Unity engine for PC, console, and mobile clients, rendering the dynamic world and AI interaction interface.
Web3.js integration enables wallet connectivity (e.g., MetaMask) and blockchain interaction.
Backend Services:
Off-chain servers handle AI simulation and world state updates, syncing data with the blockchain via APIs.
An event-driven architecture (e.g., Kafka) processes real-time missions and player interactions for low-latency responses.
Database:
On-chain: Stores critical assets and transaction records.
Off-chain: Temporary game states and logs, using MongoDB or Redis caching for performance optimization.
Network and Security
Network Optimization:
Content delivery via CDN (e.g., Cloudflare) accelerates frontend load times.
P2P networking supports real-time multiplayer duels and collaboration.
Security Measures:
Multi-signature wallets protect player assets from single-point failures.
Smart contracts undergo third-party audits (e.g., Certik) to prevent vulnerabilities.
DDoS protection and encrypted communication (TLS 1.3) secure server-client interactions
Scalability and Optimization
Horizontal Scaling:
Backend services deploy on Kubernetes clusters, dynamically scaling to handle peak player traffic.
Blockchain transaction sharding boosts concurrent performance.
Performance Optimization:
AI compute tasks are batched, with high-priority tasks (e.g., real-time dialogue) allocated more resources.
On-chain operations are streamlined to critical updates (e.g., attribute boosts), shifting non-essential computation off-chain.
Future Compatibility:
Supports VR/AR hardware interfaces with reserved expansion modules for immersive experiences.
API design adheres to open standards for easy third-party developer integration.
