StarNode: Character Construction On-Chain

Introduction

StarNode leverages Solana's Rust-based programs (smart contracts) and the Metaplex protocol to construct unique, fully on-chain characters from a vast pool of hundreds of traits with 17 layer pairs. Our custom Rust programs efficiently store, reference, and assemble character data, ensuring permanent, decentralized ownership while maintaining incredible transaction speed and cost efficiency. We've integrated the best elements of Metaplex's NFT standards token functionality to create a robust platform standard that forms the foundation of the expanding StarNode Universe.

StarNode has also developed unique role-playing and trading card game mechanics which are institutional to RPG character progression and game development.

StarNode's On-Chain Character System - Core Programs:

1. Character Builder

Rust program that assembles character visuals, traits, and renders the final output
Uses efficient compression to keep blockchain costs low
Thoroughly tested on both Solana test and main networks

2. Metadata Manager

Controls all character statistics and attributes
Generates game stats and assigns character properties
Built on Metaplex standards with added gaming capabilities

3. Asset Storage

Holds all visual components, equipment, and animations
Stores game rules and mechanics directly on-chain
Maintains compression methods for optimal data storage

Character Relationships

Characters link to their components through Solana's addressing system
All upgrades and modifications are permanently recorded
Complete history of each character is verifiable on the blockchain

Our system is built to grow over time, allowing us to add new features and expand the game universe without breaking existing characters.

Key Advantages

Storage Efficiency: Smart compression reduces blockchain costs
Character Variety: Thousands of unique combinations possible
Trustless Gameplay: All game rules exist permanently on-chain
Character Growth: Characters can evolve without being recreated
