Technical Documentation & Vision
Abstract
Tryhards introduces a revolutionary blockchain-based gaming ecosystem that combines the excitement of competitive action gameplay with the benefits of true digital asset ownership. Built on the Polygon network with Chainlink VRF integration, Tryhards creates a sustainable play-to-earn economy where players own their in-game assets as NFTs and can earn cryptocurrency through skill-based gameplay.
This whitepaper outlines the technical architecture, game mechanics, tokenomics, and vision for the Tryhards metaverse - a decentralized gaming universe set on Planet X where Fanatics from different factions battle for supremacy and rewards.

1. Introduction
1.1 The Problem
Traditional gaming models have created trillion-dollar industries where players invest countless hours and money, yet receive no real ownership or economic return from their efforts. In-game assets remain controlled by centralized entities, limiting players' ability to trade, sell, or truly own their digital possessions.
Early blockchain gaming projects have attempted to address this but often fall short in creating engaging gameplay, sustainable economies, or scalable technical infrastructure.
1.2 The Tryhards Solution
Tryhards solves these issues by creating a fully decentralized gaming ecosystem where:
- Players truly own their assets as ERC-1155 NFTs on Polygon blockchain
- Skill-based gameplay ensures fair competition and rewards
- Sustainable tokenomics create long-term value for all participants
- Chainlink VRF ensures provably fair randomness
- Cross-chain compatibility enables wider accessibility
1.3 Vision
Our vision is to create the premier blockchain gaming destination where millions of players can compete, trade, and earn in a sustainable ecosystem. Tryhards will expand beyond a single game into a full metaverse with multiple game modes, social features, and community governance.
