Impulse DAO is a developers' DAO focused on creating a thriving ecosystem for on-chain WebAssembly (WASM) games and games for developers by leveraging Gear and ink! smart contracts. The project aims to address the limited number of WASM developers in the Web3 and Polkadot/Kusama community, showcase the capabilities of WASM smart contracts, and inspire developers to explore the untapped potential of 100% on-chain games.
Over the course of three months, Impulse DAO will fund and support five teams to build fully-functioning dApps, featuring WASM smart contracts, front-end, and design. All project components will be open-source. Impulse DAO will also host online and offline WASM tournaments for developers, engaging the Rust developers community and providing a competitive and gamified learning experience.
Games for developers can be considered a solution to the stated problem because they offer an engaging and competitive way to learn and explore the capabilities of WASM smart contracts. By creating a gamified learning environment, these games can attract more developers to the Kusama ecosystem, showcasing the advantages of WASM smart contracts compared to EVM, and ultimately contribute to the growth of the developer community. This approach not only helps address the current shortage of WASM developers but also encourages the development of new tools, resources, and innovative on-chain gaming experiences, thereby demonstrating the potential and versatility of the Kusama network.

Players contribute user-generated-logic for enhancing gameplay;
40-60 learning-outcome survey respondents;
40+ participants in the tournament;
Impulse DAO is a group of developers who want to create games using smart contracts. They want to help more people learn about smart contracts and how to use them. They will pay five teams to create games using smart contracts over three months. They will also host online and offline tournaments for developers to compete in.
The problem they are trying to solve is that there are not many developers who know how to use smart contracts. They want to show people how smart contracts work and how they are different from other types of virtual machines.
Their proposed solution is to create games that use smart contracts. They think this will be a fun and engaging way for people to learn about smart contracts and how to use them. They hope this will encourage more people to become developers and create new things using smart contracts.
They will create five games using smart contracts and make them available for everyone to see. They will also write a report about what they learned and how successful the project was. They hope to have at least 20 people play the games and 40 people respond to a survey about what they learned. They also hope to have 40 people participate in the tournament.
