Description:
MotoDEX is a competitive simulator in which users participate in motorcycle races, develop their riders and improve high-speed tracks. The continuous cycle of competitions opens up unlimited opportunities for users to earn money. After each level is passed, champions are awarded with real US dollars.
Each chain has its own unique game/smart contracts/assets version, where we create a complete new players community.

Mission:
Using all their experience in the field of blockchain, my team created a unique game. Ease of character selection and intuitive gameplay. An uncomplicated plot, combined with the drive of high-speed racing and colorful locations, rivets fans of the classic genre of racing simulators to the screens.
Our mission is far-reaching; we are committed to delivering more than mere entertainment. We aspire to infuse our games with social value and promote a healthy lifestyle.

Product:
motoDEX is a play-to-earn blockchain motorcycle racing game that allows users to compete, collect and trade NFT-based bikes, riders, and tracks, and earn real USD prizes through audited smart contracts—all with zero upfront costs. Its core features include real-time on-chain racing, a built-in NFT marketplace, and multi-chain deployment capabilities. By launching motoDEX on Rootstock, we’ll significantly boost transaction volume, onboard new users, and enrich the network’s NFT offerings. There’s strong potential for collaboration with existing Rootstock projects—such as NFT marketplaces, wallets, and DeFi services—to drive shared growth and amplify overall ecosystem adoption.

Thank you @Alisa and the MotoDEX team for this proposal.

Admittedly, we are no experts in on-chain gaming and our perception is that quite a few gaming projects have seemingly struggled to take off - but are very open to be proven wrong here.

Our first reaction is that it’s great to see that you’ve already gained substantial traction - top 3 worldwide (in your category?) is a massive achievement, as is nearly the 3m active wallets! Very impressive indeed. For us this is the most important metric here, so we’d kindly ask if you could provide some verifiable data to prove this?

Many thanks!

Thank you @Avantgarde

Sure! We can provide verifiable data to prove this.

According to DappRadar, motoDEX consistently ranks in the top 3 overall by peak unique active wallets and records 500 000+ daily active wallets at its highs
You can verify this on the motoDEX overview page on DappRadar: https://dappradar.com/dapp/motodex

Additionally, our most recent primary‐sale campaign on KROMA generated 80 ETH in NFT sales, underscoring real financial engagement:

Thanks @Alisa for putting this forward. It’s great to see a proposal from a team with a live product and strong traction already.

A few questions came to mind while reviewing:

– How is the Rootstock deployment being prioritized among your other chains? Will the experience be meaningfully different for users on Rootstock (e.g. gameplay logic, NFT issuance, rewards in RBTC), or is it more of a backend integration?

– How do you plan to onboard Rootstock-native users or collaborate with the existing ecosystem (e.g. wallets, NFT marketplaces)? Any early conversations there?

– And just to better understand the grant scope: Will the full $30K go toward Rootstock-specific work, or will some of it support broader MotoDEX infrastructure?

I really appreciate the effort so far and open to supporting this if there’s clear alignment with Rootstock’s long-term growth.

HI, @Kaf_StableLab
Thank you for your questions. We will roll out on Rootstock immediately after our existing networks, keeping the gameplay identical but minting NFTs and settling races on-chain with rewards in RBTC. Once we’ve launched on Rootstock’s primary NFT marketplaces, we’ll begin outreach to wallets and marketplace partners to list motoDEX assets and drive adoption. The entire $30 000 grant is earmarked exclusively for Rootstock-specific work—covering contract deployment, front-end integration, QA, and partnership efforts.
