About
The problem it solves Most Web3 games are built to farm, not to fun. They’re overloaded with tokens, complex mechanics, or grind-heavy loops designed more for speculation than for genuine play. Meanwhile, everyday players who love trivia, learning, or competing have no real way to earn from what they know, just in-app points and empty badges. There’s no simple, fair, and rewarding game that pays you for being smart. Until now. UmYea changes that with: • 1v1 matches where both players put in $1 and the winner instantly takes $1.60, no tokens, no wait, just skill-based rewards • A quiz creator economy that pays $0.01 per question every time it’s used, build once, earn forever • Frictionless onboarding, no signup, no KYC, just connect your wallet and play • All on Base, fast, cheap, fully transparent, and on-chain It’s casual. It’s competitive. And it brings real utility to the Learn2Earn space, without the usual Web3 headaches. To get here, we tackled three big technical challenges: 1. Smart Contract Quiz Logic The Problem: On-chain games usually struggle to hide quiz answers and stay unpredictable. Our Fix: We built an encrypted quiz system that decrypts each question just-in-time for the match, fair, fast, and tamper-proof. 2. Frictionless Wallet Flow The Problem: Signups, email verifications, and complex wallets kill Web3 adoption. Our Fix: Players can jump in instantly using any Wallet. No forms. No blockers. Just play. 3. Fair Incentives for Players and Creators The Problem: Rewarding creators often cuts into the players’ pot. Our Fix: We split the $0.40 platform fee fairly, $0.18 to quiz creators, $0.12 to the leaderboard pool, and $0.10 to the platform. Players still earn 60% of the total pool before leaderboard prizes. This lets us keep UmYea fair for players, rewarding for creators, and sustainable for the long run, without bloating the system or sacrificing the fun.
