Tycoon is an exciting blockchain-based game inspired by the classic Monopoly board game.
This version is built on the Stellar Network with Soroban smart contracts.
Players will be able to buy, sell, and trade virtual properties as tokens/NFT-like assets, collect rent, build monopolies, and compete in a decentralized on-chain economy all powered by Stellar's fast, low-cost, and energy-efficient infrastructure.
This project combines strategic gameplay with true ownership and transparent mechanics using Soroban smart contracts.
Smart contracts (Rust + Soroban), frontend, and game logic. Join the journey!
- 🏡 Property Ownership — Iconic Monopoly properties tokenized on Stellar (using Soroban contracts for ownership & transfers)
- 💰 Rent & Tycoon Mechanics — Earn passive income; upgrade properties for higher yields
- 🎲 On-Chain Game Events — Dice rolls, Chance cards, Community Chest, Tax, Jail — all handled transparently via smart contracts
- 📊 Interactive Dashboard — Real-time board with rotatable cards (e.g., Income Tax 200 XLM equivalent, Luxury Tax 100)
- ⚡ Ultra-Efficient — Powered by Stellar's ~3-5 second finality, sub-penny fees, and high throughput
- 👛 Wallet Integration — Stellar wallets (e.g., Freighter, Albedo, Lobstr) + WalletConnect support planned
- 📝 Smart contract design & core logic in Rust/Soroban
- 🏗 Property tokenization & ownership mechanics
- 🎨 Frontend (React + Next.js) with interactive Monopoly board
- 👥 Multiplayer lobbies & turn-based gameplay
- 🏆 Leaderboards, tournaments & community features
- 🌾 Possible yield farming or DeFi integrations (via Stellar's ecosystem)
- 🗳 DAO-style governance for future expansions
| Layer | Tools |
|---|---|
| Frontend | React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS |
| Blockchain | Soroban (Rust-based smart contracts on Stellar) |
| Interactions | JavaScript/TypeScript Stellar SDK, Soroban RPC |
| UI Components | Custom Monopoly board renderer + Stellar asset display |
| Network | Stellar Mainnet (with Testnet/Futurenet for dev) |
🚀 Phase 0: Planning & Setup — (Now)
Research Soroban best practices, design core contracts, set up dev environment
✅ Phase 1: Core Smart Contracts — Rust/Soroban development (ownership, rent, game state)
🎨 Phase 2: Basic Board UI — Frontend with Chance/Community Chest/Taxes
🪙 Phase 3: Asset Tokenization — Properties as Stellar assets / Soroban-managed tokens
🎲 Phase 4: On-Chain Game Logic — Dice, turns, events
📱 Phase 5: UI/UX Polish — Mobile support & full gameplay loop
🔍 Phase 6: Testing, Audit & Launch — Testnet → Mainnet
🏛 Phase 7: DAO & Community Governance
We're just getting started — this is the perfect time to get involved!
- Fork & submit ideas/PRs (architecture, UI concepts, game mechanics)
- Report issues/suggestions via GitHub
- Open to collaborations with Rust/Soroban devs, UI designers, or game enthusiasts!
