Access GameFi blockchain A Bahamut RPC node provides applications with access to a blockchain purpose-built for GameFi with 1-second blocks and ultra-fast finality. Bahamut's PoSA consensus and gaming-focused architecture enable responsive blockchain games where on-chain interactions feel instantaneous, solving the latency problems that plague gaming on slower blockchains. ### Why Bahamut for GameFi Traditional blockchains are too slow for gaming — 12-second blocks (Ethereum) create noticeable lag. **Bahamut's 1-second blocks** deliver the responsiveness gamers expect. Combined with low fees and high throughput, Bahamut removes the technical barriers preventing mainstream blockchain gaming adoption. **Bahamut advantages:** - **1-second blocks** — near-instant gameplay - **PoSA consensus** — efficient and fast - **GameFi focused** — optimized for gaming - **Low fees** — affordable frequent interactions - **High throughput** — handle gaming workloads - **EVM compatible** — familiar development ### Proof of Stake & Activity **PoSA (Proof of Stake and Activity)** combines staking with validator activity requirements. Validators must both stake tokens AND actively participate in block production. This dual requirement ensures validators are incentivized to maintain high performance and availability — critical for gaming applications requiring consistent low latency. **How PoSA works:** 1. Validators stake FTN tokens 2. Active validators selected for block production 3. Validators must maintain uptime and performance 4. Blocks produced every \~1 second 5. Rewards distributed based on stake and activity ### Gaming ecosystem Bahamut is building a comprehensive **GameFi ecosystem** with blockchain games, NFT marketplaces, in-game asset exchanges, and gaming infrastructure. The network's speed and gaming focus attract developers building play-to-earn games, competitive esports platforms, and NFT-based gaming experiences. With FastToken backing and gaming-first design, Bahamut positions itself as the go-to blockchain for serious GameFi projects. ## Technical Documentation Quick start for developers ### Supported RPC Methods Bahamut supports all standard Ethereum JSON-RPC methods: - **eth\_blockNumber** — current block number - **eth\_getBalance** — FTN balance - **eth\_call** — execute view functions - **eth\_sendRawTransaction** — broadcast transactions - **eth\_getTransactionReceipt** — transaction confirmation - **eth\_getLogs** — event logs - **eth\_gasPrice** — current gas price - **eth\_estimateGas** — gas estimation - **eth\_subscribe** — WebSocket subscriptions ### Code Examples 💻 #### JavaScript (ethers.js) — Bahamut Connection: ``` const { ethers } = require('ethers'); const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider('https://rpc.crypto-chief.com/bahamut/YOUR_API_KEY'); // Verify we're on Bahamut const network = await provider.getNetwork(); console.log('Chain ID:', network.chainId); // 5165 // Get FTN balance const balance = await provider.getBalance('0x...'); console.log('FTN Balance:', ethers.formatEther(balance)); // Interact with game contract const GAME = '0x...'; const gameABI = [ 'function performAction(uint256 actionId) external', 'function getPlayerState(address player) view returns (uint256)' ]; const game = new ethers.Contract(GAME, gameABI, wallet); // In-game action with 1-second confirmation! const tx = await game.performAction(actionId); await tx.wait(); console.log('Game action confirmed in ~1 second!'); ``` 💻 #### Python (web3.py) — Bahamut Setup: ``` from web3 import Web3 w3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider('https://rpc.crypto-chief.com/bahamut/YOUR_API_KEY')) print('Connected to Bahamut:', w3.is_connected()) print('Chain ID:', w3.eth.chain_id) # 5165 print('Latest block:', w3.eth.block_number) # Gaming-optimized fees gas_price = w3.eth.gas_price print(f'Gas price: {gas_price}') # Get FTN balance balance = w3.eth.get_balance('0x...') print(f'FTN: {balance / 1e18}') ``` 💻 #### WebSocket — Monitor Fast Gaming Blocks: ``` const { ethers } = require('ethers'); const provider = new ethers.WebSocketProvider('wss://rpc.crypto-chief.com/bahamut/ws/YOUR_API_KEY'); // Monitor 1-second blocks let lastTime = Date.now(); provider.on('block', async (blockNumber) => { const now = Date.now(); const blockTime = (now - lastTime) / 1000; lastTime = now; console.log(`Bahamut block ${blockNumber} (~${blockTime.toFixed(1)}s)`); }); // Monitor game events const GAME = '0x...'; const filter = { address: GAME, topics: [ethers.id('ActionPerformed(address,uint256)')] }; provider.on(filter, (log) => { console.log('Fast game action on Bahamut:', log); }); ``` ### Bahamut Best Practices - **Fast Blocks:** Design UX for 1-second confirmation - **Gaming Frequency:** Optimize for high-frequency interactions - **Low Latency:** Minimize additional delays in game code - **NFT Integration:** Leverage for in-game assets - **PoSA Understanding:** Understand validator activity requirements - **Testing:** Test on Bahamut testnet before mainnet ## Why choose us?
