Monad Cup

I built Monad Cup, a Web3 tactical soccer management game deployed on the Monad Testnet. It features a modern Next.js frontend where players act as a manager. They must allocate a limited budget of tactical points across Attack, Defense, and Stamina to defeat a simulated CPU opponent. If their strategy succeeds, the game triggers a custom ERC-721 smart contract, allowing the user to connect their wallet and mint an exclusive on-chain Victory Badge NFT. It bridges the gap between complex blockchain mechanics and casual user engagement. Many testnet applications are dry financial tools that do not appeal to everyday users. Monad Cup gamifies the Web3 experience. It provides a fun and familiar sports management interface that encourages users to connect their wallets, experience the transaction speeds of the Monad network, and interact with smart contracts without feeling overwhelmed. Building this project taught me how to effectively link dynamic client-side game logic with blockchain interactions. I gained practical experience writing and deploying Solidity smart contracts using Hardhat and connecting them to a React based user interface. I also learned how to manage application state smoothly across different phases, moving seamlessly from a tactical dashboard to a visual match simulation and finally to the Web3 minting process.
