Overview:
STARK Arcade is a fully on-chain gaming hub on Starknet, designed to support, incubate, and showcase next-generation decentralized games. It features an evolving ecosystem of AI-powered, agentic NPCs and smart contract-integrated gameplay—ranging from roguelikes to tactical strategy games—all built using Cairo, Dojo, and Starknet-native technologies.
