ARCHITECTURE SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE PARALLEL’s architecture is designed for scalability and long-term operation. Rather than launching everything at once, the system is deployed in stages to ensure reliability and adaptability as usage grows. This staged approach allows the ecosystem to develop sustainably while preparing for future integrations and features. Hybrid Architecture Overview PARALLEL uses a hybrid model where: • Gameplay logic runs off-chain for speed and responsiveness • Ownership, identity, and key milestones are anchored on-chain This approach avoids high gas costs while preserving trust and transparency. Off-Chain Game Engine The core game engine runs off-chain. Responsibilities: • Match simulation and resolution • Turn logic and ability execution • Anti-cheat validation This layer prioritizes performance and user experience. On-Chain Layer The on-chain layer acts as the source of truth for ownership and progression. Responsibilities: • NFT ownership verification (ERC-721) • Recording major milestones (wins, badges, achievements) • Reward eligibility validation Only essential events are written on-chain to keep interactions efficient. Wallet Integration Players authenticate using wallets. Key principles: • Wallet-based login (no email or password required) • Ownership checks performed at session start • Seamless re-authentication This ensures players always control their assets. Match Verification Flow After a match ends: • Off-chain engine finalizes results • Results are validated server-side • Verified outcomes are prepared for on-chain submission This flow bridges Web2 speed with Web3 trust. Relayers & Automation Relayers are used to submit verified events on-chain. Use cases: • Posting match milestones • Issuing achievements • Automating seasonal updates Automation reduces friction for players while maintaining decentralization. Scalability Considerations The architecture is built to scale. Design goals: • Support high match throughput • Minimize on-chain writes • Remain chain-agnostic where possible This allows PARALLEL to grow without re-architecting the system. Architecture Summary PARALLEL’s architecture prioritizes: • Fast and fair gameplay • Verifiable ownership • Long-term scalability The system is designed to evolve alongside the ecosystem.
