S.A.G.E. (Substrate Asset Game Engine) - Follow Up

[darkfriend77]

Project Abstract

The SAGE Framework is a modular, asset-first state management engine for on-chain games built on Substrate. It introduces a state-transition model, where all game state is stored directly on assets, and all gameplay events (evolutions, battles, trades) are processed as transitions — consuming and creating assets. This eliminates the need for complex game-specific state management, making it easy for developers to build flexible, composable game economies while retaining full auditability and transparency on-chain. By decoupling asset transitions from game-specific logic, SAGE assets can evolve beyond gaming, enabling use cases like programmable digital identities, on-chain loyalty programs, and cross-game economies.

Hey @darkfriend77 ,

thank you for the application. Sadly we don't fund teams that already had a successful token sale. See here in our FAQ. We appreciate the effort you put into this well written application. Perhaps you will manage to convince the treasury to fund your project. Maybe even VC's will be interested in such a project.

All the best.
