Guardians of Tidefall

Project: Guardians of Tidefall Role: Full Stack Developer (Node.js/React/Web3)

Overview: Guardians of Tidefall is a Web3-enabled RPG/Strategy game where players manage heroes, battle for rewards, and trade assets on the blockchain. We are building a complete ecosystem that includes a high-performance frontend, a robust backend API, and smart contract integration.

The Tech Stack You Will Work With:

Frontend: React (Vite), TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Radix UI, TanStack Query.
Backend: Node.js with Express, PostgreSQL (or SQLite for dev), and Sequelize/Prisma ORM.
Blockchain: Solidity (ERC1155), Wagmi, Viem, and Polygon network integration.
Key Challenges & Responsibilities:

End-to-End Feature Development: You will own features from the database schema to the UI. For example, implementing a new "Quest" system would involve creating the DB models, writing the API endpoints, and building the frontend interface.
Game Logic & State Sync: Ensuring that the game state (hero stats, inventory, battle results) is perfectly synchronized between our backend database and the blockchain.
API Performance: Optimizing our Node.js API to handle game requests (like battle calculations) quickly and securely.
Web3 Integration: bridging the gap between traditional web APIs and blockchain transactions, handling things like verifying signatures and indexing on-chain events.
Current Focus: We are currently working on the Battle Engine and Marketplace. We need to ensure that when a battle happens, the logic is secure on the backend, the result is verifiable, and the rewards are correctly distributed on-chain.
