Genesis Era · Transparency First
On-Chain vs Off-Chain
MydEmpire is built to stay transparent without making gameplay slow or annoying. Whenever real HIVE moves between wallets, that action is on-chain. Gameplay actions that need speed, comfort, and frequent updates are handled inside the game server.
✅ On-Chain = Hive wallet / Keychain action
⚙️ Off-Chain = game logic / database action
On-Chain
These actions involve real HIVE, real wallet movement, or treasury transfers. Players should expect Hive Keychain confirmation when these happen.
- Buying Genesis Packs with HIVE
- Buying EMP with HIVE
- Selling EMP back for HIVE
- NFT marketplace trades involving HIVE
- Revenue split and treasury movements between MydEmpire wallets
Off-Chain
These are gameplay systems that run inside MydEmpire for speed and better user experience. No wallet popup is needed for these actions.
- Opening packs and receiving in-game assets
- Building and upgrading factories
- EMP spending for maintenance and utility
- EP calculation, rankings, and leaderboards
- Notifications, logs, and empire history
Game Architecture & Blockchain Integration
| System Component | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
| HIVE Payments | On-chain | All purchases and payments are executed through Hive Keychain and recorded on the Hive blockchain. |
| Treasury Wallets | On-chain | Game treasury balances are held in public Hive accounts and can be independently verified on-chain. |
| Pack Purchases | On-chain | Buying packs requires an on-chain HIVE transfer, ensuring every purchase is publicly verifiable. |
| Pack Opening Events | Hybrid | Pack opening results are generated by the game engine for fast gameplay and may be recorded on-chain as transparency events. |
| Asset Ownership | Hybrid | Game assets such as Land, Blueprints, and Relics are currently managed in the MydEmpire game database for performance, while important asset events can be logged on-chain for transparency. |
| Gameplay Systems | Off-chain | Factory production, upgrades, maintenance, and gameplay mechanics run off-chain to ensure fast and smooth gameplay. |

Why not put everything on-chain?
- Too many wallet popups would make normal gameplay frustrating.
- Fast strategy actions work better when processed instantly by the server.
- Not every small gameplay action needs to be written on-chain or require wallet confirmation.
- This keeps the game smooth while still preserving real HIVE transparency where it matters.
