Cozy Reef Labs is leveraging Chainlink’s decentralized services to create immersive and community-driven gaming experiences, beginning with their debut game, Slingshot Sailors, which was featured in the Chainlink 2021 Hackathon. The game integrates various Chainlink services such as Chainlink Automation for decentralized game state management, Chainlink VRF for provable randomness, and external adapters for multi-blockchain settlement layers. The team's vision extends beyond merely creating games; they aim to build a sustainable gaming ecosystem that prioritizes engaging and meaningful player experiences, made possible by blockchain's transparency and competitive play-to-earn mechanics. Slingshot Sailors is designed as a tournament-style game where players must strategically choose slingshots to escape Cozy Reef killers, balancing risk and reward through a core game loop facilitated by Chainlink Automation and VRF. To ensure accessibility, the game operates on the Polygon sidechain, with a proof-of-reserve model allowing Ethereum mainnet NFT owners to participate. Future plans include expanding decentralized infrastructure with Chainlink Automation for game scheduling, post-game processing, and managing staking and scholarship programs, ultimately aiming to broaden the possibilities within the blockchain gaming landscape.
