Autonomous Worlds

**Mod the Stack and Supercharge Your MUD App** One bounty track, **$10,000 up for grabs.** **🥇 $5000** **🥈 $3000** **🥉 $2000** At the heart of the Optimism Collective is the [OP Stack](https://stack.optimism.io/), the standardized, shared, and open-source development stack that powers the Collective. A key component of the OP Stack is the infrastructure for easily spinning up new EVM-equivalent L2 blockchains like OP Mainnet. You'll likely be deploying your applications to an OP Stack chain during the Autonomous Worlds hackathon! Want to stand out from the crowd? **Supercharge your MUD application by running it on your own modded OP Stack chain.** The OP Stack consists of several layers that can all be modified in different ways to take your MUD app to the next level. Here's a list of crazy features you could add to your MUD app by modding the OP Stack: - Add regular "ticks" to your game by [hacking the derivation layer](https://stack.optimism.io/docs/build/tutorials/add-attr/) like [Ticking Optimism](https://stack.optimism.io/docs/build/featured/#ticking-optimism) did to build [a MUD version of Conway's Game of Life](https://github.com/therealbytes/ticking-conway) - Mod the derivation layer to automatically trigger in-game actions whenever a specific event is emitted on the corresponding L1 blockchain - [Track the current L1 gas burn](https://stack.optimism.io/docs/build/tutorials/add-attr/) and automatically add environmental effects when the gas burn is higher or lower than the average - Hack the execution layer to [add a custom precompile](https://stack.optimism.io/docs/build/tutorials/new-precomp/) to make use of complex algorithms and libraries that can't easily be implemented in Solidity - **And so much more.**
