Devolution Integrates Chainlink Keepers
Devolution a cutting-edge GameFi project featuring an expansive metaverse centering on native Evomons—has integrated Chainlink Keepers on BNB Chain mainnet.
By integrating the industry-leading decentralized oracle network, they now have access to a secure smart contract automation service to support the auction functionality of Devolution’s NFT marketplace.
Evomon’s are powerful creatures native to the Devolution metaverse. They are the dominant population on Callisto—Jupiter’s outer moon. The origin of Evomons is highly debated, and there are no clear answers in sight. Some believe they were there since the beginning, while others point to the mystical inscriptions hidden within the lost temple city of Elara for deeper answers.
This is the setting where Devolution takes place. Players begin their adventure on the unexplored moon of Callisto by first purchasing an Evomon on Devolution’s native marketplace!
By and large, the NFT marketplace is the hub for Devolution newcomers to start getting involved with the metaverse. Auctions are a core feature of the marketplace, in which various players can bid on an Evomon in the hopes of purchasing it.
While auction functionality is trivial to enable with centralized infrastructure, they’re committed to building out a decentralized platform for trustless transactions, making end-to-end decentralization the first priority.
Unfortunately, smart contracts are unable to trigger functions by themselves. Instead, they need an external entity to trigger functions for them. In the case of auctions, the functions to start and stop the auction process, as well as to deliver the NFT directly to the winner’s wallet, required this type of manual trigger.
Oftentimes developers will build centralized, in-house infrastructure that triggers these functions, but this creates a both centralized point of failure and the need for continuous maintenance. In other cases, developers use Chainlink Keepers—the best solution for decentralized smart contract automation.
Chainlink Keepers automatically jumpstart smart contracts based on arbitrary conditions such as time (calculated in blocks). In the case of Devolution’s auction smart contract, Chainlink Keepers start an auction round when a new Evomon is listed and end it after a certain time. Then, Chainlink Keepers trigger a transaction for the highest bidder to receive the NFT.
Chainlink Keepers help ensure that NFT marketplace auctions are trustless, secure, and automated.
In the near future, Devolution plan to implement another time-tested Chainlink service: Chainlink Verifiable Random Function (VRF). Chainlink VRF will be integrated within our upcoming mystery boxes to help guarantee all players have a fair and equal chance at receiving rare rewards.
“Chainlink is the industry standard for accessing secure off-chain data and computation services. When we were looking to automate the auction functions on our NFT marketplace, Chainlink Keepers stood out as a highly reliable solution that would last long into the future. We think long term here at Devolution, and using Chainlink services is core to making sure our infrastructure stays high-quality and stands the test of time.”—Professor Gi, Founder of Devolution.
