Submission declined on 2 July 2025 by Pythoncoder (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. Your draft shows signs of having been generated by a large language model, such as ChatGPT. Wikipedia guidelines prohibit the use of LLMs to write articles from scratch. In addition, LLM-generated articles usually have multiple quality issues, to include: Promotional tone, editorializing and other words to watch Vague, generic, and speculative statements extrapolated from similar subjects Essay-like writing Hallucinations (plausible-sounding, but false information) and non-existent references Close paraphrasing Please address these issues. The best way is usually to read reliable sources and summarize them, instead of using a large language model. See our help page on large language models. Declined by Pythoncoder 5 months ago.

Dojo (on-chain framework) is an open-source development framework and toolchain for creating fully on-chain games (FOCG) and applications in StarkWare's Cairo programming language.^[1][2] Dojo allows for the creation of games and applications whose correct execution can be computationally proven via zero-knowledge proofs.^[3] Dojo was open-sourced under the Apache 2.0 license and is maintained by the Cartridge Gaming Company, with contributions from Realms (formerly Bibliotheca) DAO.^[4]

In October 2024, the Dojo-based game FlippyFlop was used to set a world TPS record for Ethereum L2s.^[5][6][7]

In 2019, pseudonymous developer Gubsheep developed Dark Forest, a fully on-chain game which used zero-knowledge proofs to enable gameplay based on hidden information.^[1] Following the success of Dark Forest, a group of developers formed Lattice and created MUD, an EVM-based on-chain games framework.^[1][8]

In late 2021, a group of developers began working on Roll Your Own, an on-chain version of the 1984 game Drug Wars, for Starknet.^{[8][9][10][11]} Inspired by MUD, they created Dojo as a Cairo-based alternative.^[8][10] Development continued through 2022-2024, with Dojo version 1.0 being released in August 2024.^[2][12][13]

In October 2024, the Dojo-based FlippyFlop was used to set the world record of 857 transactions-per-second for Ethereum L2s.^[5][6][7] In December 2024, Realms: Eternum, a 4X strategy game created by Dojo contributor Realms DAO, launched its Season 0, drawing “100s of players” during the campaign and, according to the Ethereum Foundation, using up 50% of Starknet's blockspace.^[14][15][16]

Dojo provides an Entity-Component-System framework for developing on-chain games and applications.

Entities (players, objects) are represented by sets of keys, which are hashed to create canonical identifiers. State is stored in on-chain models (components) holding specific types of data (attributes, stats, positions). Logic is implemented via contracts (systems) that mutate state in response to user actions.^{[8][13][17][18]}

Models and systems are registered in a central World contract, which routes function calls and enforces access controls.^[13][17] Dojo extends the Cairo compiler to automatically generate queryable events after state changes, facilitating indexing and front-end updates.^[8][13][17]

Dojo provides a set of Rust-based tools for developing and deploying on-chain applications.

• Katana - a Starknet sequencer, which can be run locally or used in production as a dedicated game-chain.^{[8][17][18][19]}

• Torii - an indexing service that ingests on-chain events, making game state queryable for user-facing clients via GraphQL or gRPC.^[8][17][18]

• Sozo - a development CLI which compiles code, deploys smart contracts, runs tests, and orchestrates schema migrations.^[17][18]

Dojo provides SDKs to facilitate integration with front-end JavaScript clients, game engines such as Unity, Unreal, and Godot, and communication platforms like Telegram and Discord.^[17][20]

Several games have been built using Dojo, including:

• Roll Your Own - an on-chain arbitrage game inspired by Drug Wars and the Dope Wars NFT collection.^[9][10][18]

• Realms: Eternum - a massively multiplayer 4X game based on the Loot and Realms NFT projects, using AI agents to drive gameplay.^{[9][14][16][18]}

• Blob Arena - a Pokémon-inspired battler that attracted 1,475 players during its launch event at an Armored MMA tournament in Canton, Ohio.^[21][22]

Multiple Dojo projects have been included in Starknet's Propulsion program, including Jokers of Neon, Loot Survivor, Pistols at Dawn, and zKube.^[23]

Starknet has described Dojo as “the world's first provable game engine” and appointed several Dojo core contributors to its Gaming Committee.^[3][24] Analysts at Messari noted Dojo's “ability to support complex mechanics, such as player-owned economies, resource management, and dynamic interactions, leveraging Starknet's low-cost execution environment.”^[9]
