On-chain gaming platform RIVES launches Doom Olympics alongside its Base mainnet launch, featuring a series of contests based on Doom, using a community-developed version called Freedoom.

The competition will use Cartesi’s RISC-V emulator to allow verifiable, on-chain gameplay. This means all players’ actions will be recorded and validated to ensure fair play.

Participants will compete for a $15,000 prize pool, paid in Cartesi’s native token, $CTSI.

What are the games and prizes?

The event will feature seven contests and players will be tested in different aspects of gameplay, such as completing levels quickly or defeating enemies under specific conditions. These contests include:

• • Lightning Run (Sep 12-14): Complete levels in the shortest time.
  • Knuckle Crusher (Sep 13-15): Defeat enemies using melee attacks.
  • Infallible Aim (Sep 14-16): Use only the pistol to kill enemies, with penalties for missed shots.
  • Secret Master (Sep 15-17): Find hidden secrets in the levels.
  • Treasure Seeker (Sep 16-18): Collect items whilst advancing through levels.
  • The Completionist (Sep 17-19): Clear levels by defeating all enemies and unlocking secrets.
  • Enemy Eradicator (Sep 18-20): Defeat all enemies and bosses in the levels.

The $15,000 prize pool will be divided as follows:

• • $7,000 for winners of individual contests (1st: $600, 2nd: $300, 3rd: $100)
  • $3,500 for the top 100 players on the global leaderboard
  • $4,500 for achievements and other in-game tasks
