GameFi Racing Mini-App

GameFi Racing Mini-App — Gonka Community Fund Proposal

Proposer: GameDev Team (9 people)

Requested amount: 246,000 GNK ($100K equivalent)

Wallet: gonka13kzs38qkq4uc0astlshv39kt9gpu3sr99unpcq

Status: Governance proposal submitted to Gonka Mainnet

  1. Problem

Gonka ecosystem currently lacks a consumer-facing, accessible entry point for non-technical users. While the network excels at decentralized AI compute, there is no "fun" or viral mechanism to onboard new users, drive GNK velocity, and showcase the protocol to a broader audience.

  1. Solution

A multiplayer side-view racing mini-app built on Gonka where players:

Connect wallets and compete in short head-to-head races

Wager GNK via smart contract with automatic winner payouts

Use NFT cars of various tiers

Earn through a referral system

(Future: Q1 2027) AI-agent auto-races generating inference workloads on Host GPUs

Working prototype: @GNKRacers_bot

  1. Deliverables

Phase Deliverable Target Date

Core release Finalized multiplayer mini-app, UI polish, mini-app adaptation Q3 2026

Integration Smart contract & NFT car integration Q3 2026

Beta launch Public beta with ≥500 unique active wallets Q4 2026

Expansion Isometric mode + AI-agent auto-races Q1 2027

Infrastructure & DevOps $5,000 12,315 Game servers, cloud hosting, CDN, Telegram bot hosting

Software Licenses $2,500 6,160 Unity Pro license, dev tools, build automation

Security (Audit reserve) $2,500 6,160 Post-integration smart contract audit

Total $100,000 246,000

  1. Milestone-Based Accountability

This proposal requests the full amount upfront to streamline operations. The team commits to:

Public progress reports every 2 weeks

Live demos at each milestone

Unspent funds returned to Community Fund if scope is reduced

  1. Stakeholder Impact

Hosts: Increased GNK velocity from wagering; future AI-agent races = inference demand

Developers: In-game promotion of existing Gonka pools and apps

Users: Accessible, fun entry point into the Gonka ecosystem

GNK Holders: Higher token utilization and network activity

  1. Risks

Slower-than-expected user acquisition → marketing pivot required

Smart contract / NFT partner delays → does not block core release

GameFi market downturn → reposition as competitive consumer mini-app

Yes 25.0% (38,621) No 69.6% (107,644) Veto 4.0% (6,241) Abstain 1.5% (2,245) Total 154,751 votes
