The system

Project Overview

Uruk Bartas is an innovative Web3 RPG game that combines traditional gaming mechanics with blockchain technology, creating a unique player-owned economy where in-game assets have real-world value.

The game features a rich fantasy world where players can collect characters, battle other players, complete quests, and earn rewards in the form of the native $URUK token and NFT items.

As the lead developer, I designed and implemented the entire technical architecture, from the game's frontend interface to the smart contracts that power the blockchain interactions.
