Bridge Champ unveils new roadmap enabling players to generate NFT badges and crypto rewards

Bridge Champ, the advanced online bridge platform built on blockchain technology, has announced its latest roadmap. The roadmap brings exciting new features into the Bridge Champ ecosystem, including enabling players to generate NFT badges and crypto rewards based on their in-game achievements.

The new Bridge Champ roadmap 

Bridge Champ is getting ready to take the next giant leap toward taking the bridge game to new, exciting heights. Online bridge play is consistent with the game’s core value of engaging in social play, whether with friends or strangers. With its robust social features, Bridge Champ facilitates global interaction among bridge players and paves the way for the online expansion of established bridge clubs and federations.

The blockchain-based online bridge platform has gained significant traction in recent months, as the global demand for online and competitive bridge play continues to grow. This has attracted a large number of new players to Bridge Champ. 

Bridge Champ is built on Ignis, the first child chain of Jelurida’s Ardor ecosystem. Its core technology prevents cheating and protects all in-game data.

Transparency and credibility

Per the Bridge Champ team, the platform utilizes blockchain technology to bring credibility, trust, accountability, and transparency to data sharing. 

For example, the outcome of a game necessitates integrity to avoid fraud. Furthermore, even when played remotely, bridge is a social activity. With blockchain technology, any concerns about authenticity are eliminated.

According to the original roadmap, one of the team’s goals has always been to implement online tournaments, NFT registration, token payments, and rewards.

Bridge Champ’s new roadmap includes several key developments that will help it deliver on its initial vision, including Tournaments (player and bot registration, lobbies, management), streamlining the mobile and web experience of Bridge Champ for gamers, gamification and crypto support.

The team says Bridge Champ gamers will be able to generate NFT badges to earn crypto rewards for their in-game achievements starting from  Q1 2023.

That’s not all, Bridge Champ will also add support for credit card payments (Q3 2023) and rankings based on player skill and sportsmanship (Q3 2023).

With the introduction of the features, tools and solutions mentioned above, the team believes the   allure of playing bridge online with people from around the globe will increase significantly. 

Lior Yaffe, the bridge champ project lead and a co-founder of Jelurida said:

“We are excited to enter the play-to-earn arena with a solution for online bridge play, bridge is arguably the most interesting card-based skill game ever invented, the combination of fun and exciting play with modern social elements and crypto integration creates an innovative solution never seen before,” 

Additionally, Bridge Champ facilitates the transition of bridge club owners to the digital world. 

The team says the introduction of NFT badges will make both fungible and non-fungible utility-driven tokens available on Bridge Champ. 

What’s more, crypto noobs who play Bridge Champ can familiarize themselves with cryptocurrency through the rewards they receive for playing bridge. 

The Ardor blockchain-based  IGNIS child chain token will be used for reward issuance and NFT registration in the Bridge Champ ecosystem.
