Coin Flipperz: A Provably Fair Mini Game to Demonstrate Omchain's Capabilities

In the realm of blockchain technology, transparency and fairness are paramount. This philosophy is the bedrock upon which Omchain was built. To illustrate Omchain's exceptional speed and cost-efficiency, we developed Coin Flipperz — a non-profit, provably fair mini-game that serves as a testament to Omchain's capabilities. In this blog post, we will dive deep into how Coin Flipperz operates, the provably fair algorithm behind it, and why it's a perfect demonstration of Omchain's potential.

What is Coin Flipperz?

Coin Flipperz is a simple yet captivating game that mimics the classic coin flip, with the twist of blockchain technology ensuring fairness and transparency. Players participate by submitting a small transaction, and the outcome — heads or tails — is determined by a provably fair algorithm that leverages the security and immutability of the blockchain.

The Provably Fair Algorithm

The integrity of Coin Flipperz lies in its provably fair algorithm. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how it works:

Generating Randomness: When a user initiates a game, they generate a random 32-byte value.
Hashing the Value: This 32-byte value is then hashed using the SHA-256 algorithm, resulting in a 64-character hexadecimal string.
Submitting the Hash: The user submits this SHA-256 hash to the Coin Flipperz smart contract on the Omchain blockchain. At this stage, only the hash is submitted, keeping the actual 32-byte value concealed.
Blockchain Confirmation: Once the transaction is confirmed on the blockchain, the user reveals the original 32-byte value that corresponds to the submitted hash.
Verification: The smart contract verifies the revealed 32-byte value against the submitted hash. This ensures that the value was not tampered with.
Determining the Outcome: To determine the outcome of the coin flip, the smart contract performs a modulo 2 operation on the 32-byte value. If the result is 0, it's heads; if the result is 1, it's tails.

Why Omchain?

Omchain was designed to be a fast, efficient, and cost-effective blockchain solution. Coin Flipperz leverages these strengths to provide an engaging user experience with negligible transaction costs. Here’s why Omchain is the ideal platform for this game:
