Stellar Hacks: ZK Gaming
This hackathon is about exploring Zero-Knowledge (ZK) as a real gameplay primitive — not just a buzzword. Your mission is to build a game prototype that uses ZK for something that actually matters to players: hidden information, fair resolution, provable outcomes, private actions, verifiable computation, or any mechanic where “trust me” isn’t good enough.
