Gaming Social Solutions

JogoJogo turned sports predictions into a social game on Solana's Sonic SVM, letting users form clubs, compete with friends and pool their forecasts for collective rewards. During its Euro 2024 beta, players who picked the champion shared a prize pool of roughly ten thousand dollars and earned 100,000 Sonic Odyssey Rings, the testnet's reward currency. For anyone looking at how on-chain games used social mechanics and shareable Blinks to grow a player base, JogoJogo is a useful case study. It is not something to play today, though: the beta was a no-cost testnet campaign tied to a single two-week tournament, and no activity has been recorded since 2024.

CiFarm structured its social design around four core interactions — farm, help, visit, and steal — with the adversarial steal mechanic serving as the explicit retention driver. Players could visit allied farms to provide assistance, but the competitive option of raiding rivals' unprotected crops created ongoing social tension the developers described as central to daily engagement. The game backend was built on Nakama, an open-source game server framework that managed friends lists, multiplayer sessions, and leaderboards, providing the social infrastructure the steal mechanic depended on. Built as a Telegram mini-app, CiFarm aimed to leverage an existing social platform rather than requiring a standalone application, though development ceased in early 2025 before the social layer reached a public audience.
