In-Game Payments in Chain Duel: A Case Study for Developers

**Chain Duel**, a fast paced PvP game that takes inspiration from the classic snake game and supercharges it with Bitcoin’s Lightning Network. Imagine battling another player for dominance in a race to collect blocks, where the length of your chain isn’t just a visual cue. It represents real, staked satoshis. The player with the most Proof of Work wins, but it’s not just about gameplay; it’s about the seamless integration of the Lightning Network and real-time payments.

[![alt text](https://image.nostr.build/e847b14388f68174f2f65566de7c79d86f57d0ec4cf7baae5525ef8b91ffb495.png)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hCI2MzxOzE)

But how does Chain Duel manage these instant transactions with such efficiency? That’s where **LNbits** comes in. LNbits, an open-source wallet and payment infrastructure, handles all in-game payments making it easy for developers to focus on gameplay while LNbits takes care of everything from microtransactions to automated splits for developers and designers. In this article, we’ll dive deep into how Chain Duel leverages LNbits to streamline in-game payments and how other developers can take advantage of this powerful toolset to build the future of Lightning-powered gaming.

Let’s explore how LNbits transforms payment processing and why it’s quickly becoming a must-have for game developers working in the Bitcoin space.

## Overview of Chain Duel
Chain Duel is a unique Lightning Network-inspired game that reimagines the classic snake game with a competitive twist, integrating real-time payments. Two players face off in real-time, racing to "catch" blocks and extend their chains. Each block added to the chain represents Proof of Work, and the player with the most Proof of Work wins the duel. The stakes are high, as the game represents satoshis (small units of Bitcoin) as points, with the winner taking home the prize.

The game is designed to be Lightning-native, meaning all payments within Chain Duel are processed through the Lightning Network. This ensures fast payments, reducing latency and making gameplay smooth. With additional features like practice mode, tournaments and highscores, Chain Duel creates an engaging and competitive environment for Bitcoin enthusiasts and gamers alike.

One of the standout aspects of Chain Duel is its deeper integration with the Lightning Network even at a design level. For example, actual Bitcoin blocks can appear on screen during matches, offering bonus points when mined in sync with the game. The game’s current version, still in beta, has already drawn attention within the Bitcoin community, gaining momentum at conferences and with a growing user base through its social networks. With its innovative combination of gaming, the Lightning Network, and competitive play, Chain Duel offers a glimpse into the future of Lightning-based gaming.

## How LNbits is Used in Chain Duel

### Seamless Integration with LNbits
At the core of *Chain Duel*’s efficient payment processing is LNbits, which handles in-game transactions smoothly and reliably. Chain Duel uses the LNbits LNURL-pay and LNURL-withdraw extensions to manage payments and rewards between players. Before each match, players send satoshis using LNURL-pay, which generates a static QR code or link for making the payment. LNURL-pay allows users to attach a note to the payment, which *Chain Duel* creatively uses as a way to insert the player name in-game. The simplicity of LNURL-pay ensures that users can quickly and easily initiate games, with fresh invoices being issued for every game. When players win, LNURL-withdraw enables them to seamlessly pull their earnings from the game, providing a quick payout system.

These extensions make it easy for players to send and receive Bitcoin with minimal latency, fully leveraging the power of the Lightning Network for fast and low-cost payments. The flexibility of LNbits’ tools means that game developers don’t need to worry about building custom payment systems from scratch—they can rely on LNbits to handle all financial transactions with precision.

### Lightning Tournaments
Chain Duel tournaments leverage LNbits and its LNURL extensions to create a seamless and efficient experience for players. In Chain Duel tournaments, LNbits plays a crucial role in managing the overall economics. LNbits facilitates the generation of LNURL QR codes that participants can scan to register quickly or withdraw their winnings. LNbits allows Chain Duel to automatically handle multiple registrations through LNURL-pay, enabling players to participate in the tournament without additional steps. The Lightning Network's speed ensures that these payments occur in real-time, reducing wait times and allowing for a smoother flow in-game.

### Splitting Payments
LNbits further simplifies revenue-sharing within Chain Duel. This feature allows the game to automatically split the satoshis sent by players into different shares for the game’s developer, designer, and host. Each time a payment is made to join a match, LNbits is used to automattically pay each of the contributors, according to pre-defined rules. This automated process ensures that everyone involved in the development and running of the game gets their fair share without manual intervention or complex bookkeeping.

### Nostr Integration
Chain Duel also integrates with [Nostr](https://nostr.com), a decentralized protocol for social interactions. Players can join games using "Zaps", small tips or micropayments sent over the Lightning Network within the Nostr ecosystem. Through NIP-57, which enables Nostr clients to request Zap invoices, players can use LNURL-pay enabled Zaps to register in P2P matches, further enhancing the Chain Duel experience. By using Zaps as a way to register in-game, *Chain Duel* automates the process of fetching players' identity, creating a more competitive and social experience. Zaps are public on the Nostr network, further expanding *Chain Duel*'s games social reach and community engagement.

### Game and Payment Synchronization

One of the key reasons Chain Duel developers chose LNbits is its powerful API that connects directly with the game’s logic. LNbits allows the game to synchronize payments with gameplay in real-time, providing a seamless experience where payments are an integrated part of the gaming mechanics.

With LNbits managing both the payment process and the Lightning Network’s complex infrastructure, Chain Duel developers are free to concentrate on enhancing the competitive and Lightning Network-related aspects of the game. This division of tasks is essential for streamlining development while still providing an innovative in-game payment experience that is deeply integrated with the Bitcoin network.

LNbits proves to be an indispensable tool for Chain Duel, enabling smooth in-game transactions, real-time revenue sharing, and seamless integration with Nostr. For developers looking to build Lightning-powered games, LNbits offers a powerful suite of tools that handle everything from micropayments to payment distribution—ensuring that the game's focus remains on fun and competition rather than complex payment systems.

## LNBits facilitating Education and Adoption

In the near future, Portugal was completely overrun by tourists. Beaches turned into endless resorts, cities became theme parks, and locals were forced out. With no space left, the entire country decided to move to Spain.

Spain, at first reluctant, eventually let Portugal in. But soon, tourists followed, and Spain itself became a giant vacation spot. Faced with the same problem, Spain decided to move to France.

France, too, began to buckle under the pressure of the combined Spanish-Portuguese migration. As tourists swarmed in, the French whispered about moving to Belgium. The cycle of displacement continued, with nations endlessly shifting, always pursued by the unstoppable tide of global tourism.

Unlike traditional financial systems or corporations, Bitcoin has no central authority to allocate funds for marketing, development or other operational expenses.  There is no centralized entity that directs the technology’s advancement or ensures its visibility.
Instead, Bitcoin’s growth and development have been largely driven by a decentralized network of individuals and organizations who are passionate about the technology and its potential. Many of the contributions to Bitcoin’s development come from volunteers who work on the technology out of a deep commitment to its principles, often dedicating their time and expertise without direct financial compensation.

The great men stride through history's page, Their deeds engraved, their wars, their sage. But now they rest beneath the earth, Their stories told of might and worth.

I gaze upon their lofty height, Yet feel no wings to match their flight. For I am neither great nor gone, Just one who walks the path they're on.

Life's road is paved with stones of pain, And fears of storms and coming rain. Perhaps I'm scared of trials ahead, The unknown paths I’ve yet to tread.

But if I rise or if I fall, There's solace in the sun's warm call. To feel its glow upon my skin, And watch the dusk as days begin.

Greatness may or may not come, Yet in these moments, I am one. Content to breathe and watch the sky, As time and heroes pass me by.

Throughout the entire journey of Chain Duel, the game has been played by hundreds of people across various Bitcoin conferences and meetups, accumulating thousands of games. This experience has provided a unique perspective on how users from different geographic regions and technical backgrounds interact with the Lightning Network.  Users' familiarity with Lightning often dictates their choice of tools. Many beginners and those less focused on maintaining complete control over their funds opt for easy-to-use solutions like Wallet of Satoshi because of its convenience and low fees. However, advanced users, particularly those concerned with neutrality, tend to prefer solutions like Phoenix or Zeus wallets. These wallets allow for more control over their funds by running a standalone node on their phone or connecting to their own remote Bitcoin payments infrastructure. Geography also play a significant role in shaping the experience. For example, both Wallet of Satoshi and Phoenix do not operate in the United States due to fears of possible regulations. This creates challenges for North American users at conferences, limiting their options and adding barriers to adopting and interacting with Chain Duel. Furthermore, many attendees at Bitcoin conferences arrive without a Lightning wallet at all. They often attend these events to learn more about the technology or because they view Bitcoin as an investment asset instead of an usable currency, with some attendees even expressing confusion or mistrust over how it works. Many users are unsure whether Lightning's fast and cheap transactions compromise the trustless nature of Bitcoin or how it fits within Bitcoin's broader goals of decentralization and censorship resistance. Some Bitcoin advocates criticize the Lightning Network itself. They argue that adoption is slow or they may see inherent flaws in the architecture that hinder scalability or neutrality. Such perspectives make the adoption of games like Chain Duel more challenging, as they rely on Lightning payments. However, they also highlight the importance of educating users on the protocol's technical merits and use cases. Chain Duel’s presence at these conferences has demonstrated not only the game's entertainment value but also its potential as a tool for educating the public about Bitcoin and the Lightning Network. Each player interaction is an opportunity to showcase the benefits of instant, low-fee payments that maintain neutrality in a fun, competitive environment. The challenges encountered reinforce the need for education, and through projects like Chain Duel, many are learning the practical applications of Bitcoin and Lightning in real time.

Bitcoin is characterized by its multifaceted nature, encompassing a wide array of disciplines that contribute to its overall functioning and impact. At its core, Bitcoin is a complex intersection of cryptography, computer science, economics, game theory and social governance. Each of these areas plays a critical role in the system's design. However, the interdisciplinary nature of Bitcoin presents challenges since specialists often focus on their particular niches, such as cryptography or economics, without necessarily grasping the full extent of Bitcoin's broader implications. This narrow approach can hinder a holistic understanding of Bitcoin’s innovations.

LNbits supports integration with various Lightning full nodes such as LND and Core Lightning, giving users flexibility in how they connect to the Bitcoin and Lightning networks. However, for LNbits to provide a truly neutral and trustless experience, users must operate their own infrastructure.

Today, coming back from a day at island and see with @oestebitcoin
https://m.primal.net/KiiA.mov


taken from Mastering Lightning:
"Any wallet that outsources management of keys is called a custodial wallet because a third party acting as custodian has control of the user’s funds, not the user. A noncustodial or self-custody wallet, by comparison, is one where the keystore is part of the wallet, and keys are controlled directly by the user. The term noncustodial wallet just implies that the keystore is local and under the user’s control."

It seems that non-custodial makes sense if we assume that custodial means that someone else has the custody and, therefore, non-custodial means the opposite.

Mental gymnastics achieved 🥷


every key that can be used to sign a transaction is in custody of someone. when people say custodial bitcoin it doesn't mean anything to me 🥲
what's the opposite of self-custodial? I like to call it else-custodial but never heard anyone using that term


one great thing about nostr comparing to Twitter is that I'm not being spammed by EloNmUsk all day

Can't zap you because your LNURL server doesn't "allowsNostr":true


Despite its growing popularity and utility, LNURL has faced criticism particularly concerning its alignment with Bitcoin’s foundational principles. Critics argue that LNURL's reliance on an internet server to facilitate the protocol incentivizes the use of custodial services, potentially introducing trusted parties into a system that is fundamentally designed to operate without them.
This reliance could be seen as a departure from Bitcoin’s ethos of providing a trustless form of money, sparking debate about the balance between enhancing usability and maintaining the decentralized, permissionless nature of Bitcoin.


In the Bolt11 specification each payment requires a new invoice. LNURL Pay Requests streamline this process by allowing static codes for payments, similar in function to LNURL Withdraw Requests, but with the roles reversed: the user initiates a payment rather than receiving funds.
LNURL Pay further enhances this mechanism by enabling payments to an email-like address, simplifying the payment process and mimicking more familiar, traditional online payment systems.


Designed as a protocol to facilitate various interactions between Lightning clients, the Lightning Network Uniform Resource Locator Protocol (LNURL) allows for the exchange of information and commands that are subsequently executed on the Lightning Network, providing developers with a versatile sandbox for crafting features that enhance the user experience within the network

My cat Tico is 19 years old and he's getting easily tired lately. I'm not sure I should take him to the vet or just let him rest.
I will miss this cat, it was the greatest animal bond I had in my life.

https://m.primal.net/KaFv.jpg


thank you, Sir 🫡


does the bitaxe runs its own full node or you just connect it to a pool? i never tried one


Increasing the block size would increase the burden on node operators, as more resources are required to validate and store the ledger. This would likely lead to a decrease in the number of full nodes, further centralizing the network and undermining its security.
A prerequisite to prevent that kind of centralization from occurring requires the ability for bitcoin to be validated by a consumer level computer on a retail internet connection.


There has been discussions about scaling since the very first sentence of the very first email in response to Satoshi’s announcement of the Bitcoin whitepaper on the Cryptography mailing

 https://image.nostr.build/f7dad35795dc7603aa37534fa4526aab0a93d59ce3d332d03cb0f484c1ab6541.png


The ability for any user to generate a Bitcoin address from a random private key without the need for approval or registration ensures that participation in the network is unrestricted.
This neutral access is a key feature that empowers individuals globally to engage in transactions without relying on intermediaries.
Bitcoin’s scripting language enforces the principles of trustlessness within its decentralized system as every full node on the network independently validates the input and output scripts of transactions, ensuring that all transactions adhere to the network’s consensus rules.
This decentralized validation process eliminates the need for trust in any single party, as the entire network collectively verifies the validity of each transaction.


Bitcoin’s decentralized nature ensures neutrality towards developers, users, and miners.
It doesn't discriminate based on identity or purpose; participants adhering to its rules are free to engage in mining, transactions and the development of protocols\services on top of Bitcoin


it would make sense that nostr clients start watching the taproot addresses associated with users' respective NSECS, it has potential for interesting social use cases

Try creating a pubpay with the zap-lnurl tag:
Insert a lighting address, that is not the one on your kind0


You just press Pay 😉
When the note1 has reached zap-uses, the pay button gets deactivated

The previous note blew up more than I expected! Thank you to all the boosts, quotes, likes and zaps. Feeling grateful for this community 🙏

- For the people asking about Chain Duel:
you can find more info on chainduel(.)net or nostr reposts in my profile

- I wish I asked for a comment or quote instead of just repost. It would've been much less work 😄

- Some people didn't have a lightning address set up so I couldn't send them the sats!

- if I missed your repost: it wasn't easy to handle at the notifications but I did my best to keep up.

Thank you all and hope to see you in the next bitcoin conference at the Chain Duel area 🐍 🎮

Chain Duel was designed with bitcoin in mind.
Not only it's fun and competitive but is also an excellent tool for bitcoin adoption and education.

Hey there! I'm Francis, I created a lightning game called Chain Duel 🐍
I love Bitcoin and Nostr.
To spread the love, the first 100 people to repost this will get 210 sats each!
LFG


There were blocks when the miner didn't claim the full reward, or any at all. Bitcoin is scarce af

Finally back to normal, if there even is such a thing. The last couple of weeks were a whirlwind, as is to be expected if a lot of bitcoiners are at the same place at the same time.

Bitcoin Atlantis was a fantastic event, as many others have mentioned before me. It was so good to see everyone. New friends, old friends, brothers and sisters, even classmates and family. Yes, family.

To me, the gathering that happened on this strange island in the middle of the Atlantic felt more like an extended family gathering than a conference, which is what made it so beautiful. Exhausting? Yes. Strange? Definitely. But also full of love, tears of joy, and a deep sense of "togetherness" that only families can provide. Strange uncles and all.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: cherish these times. We're still in the early days, and as bitcoin marches on and grows, and as bitcoinization proceeds, what is strange and extraordinary now will soon be normal and ordinary.

The internet is magic, as are mobile phones. Yet we don't have any "internet people" anymore, not in the "bitcoiner" sense, to bridge the analogy. In certain places and for certain people bitcoin is already normalized, and what used to be mind-blowing just 12 months ago simply isn't anymore. We get used to things too quickly, even magic. We adjust, we get bored, and we fail to appreciate how far we have come.

I'm writing this as a sip my morning coffee, a coffee that I will pay in sats outright, with zaps I've received on nostr. Isn't that magical? Yet it's very normal to me. I have to pinch myself every day to make sure it is real.

It's hard to comprehend how much sweat, blood, tears, and pain were necessary to make all of this work. Bitcoin. Lightning. Nostr. The myriad of tools, libraries, capital, and infrastructure required so that you can zap me and I can pay for this coffee. Instantly. Global. Without anyone's permission. We say that Bitcoin is magic internet money for a reason, so please take a step back and appreciate the magic. Appreciate how far we've come.

It's easy to get lost in the thick of it all when you're close to the grindstone. I know there's people out there that question themselves, wondering why they keep working on all this stuff, asking themselves if they make a difference. I know because I'm one of these people sometimes. I know because some of my friends are struggling, and have been struggling for a while. I see you, and if I could I'd give you a hug twice a day.

But most days we're not in the same place at the same time, so let me say the following instead: You matter. Your contributions matter. You just being around matters.

That's why physical events are so important. It's borderline impossible to feel stuff through a computer screen. But once you meet people in person—your people, the people that, for one reason or another, are perfectly aligned with you—you can FEEL it. You can really feel it. You can feel that it matters, that the tide is shifting, that the freedom tech we are working on changes the very real lives of very real people.

It was wonderful to meet all of you. Peace & Love, and please take care of each other. 🙏🧡

why offline?


LFG !


We're going to forever remember the magical weeks spent in El Salvador 🇸🇻 spending bitcoin, and working on lightning games.

Chain Duel has some cool experimental new features we think are going to change the game 🎮

Keep you posted. Season 1 over.
