Doom will run on RIVES game console on Cartesi blockchain

Doom is going to run on the RIVES (RISC-V Verifiable Entertainment System), an onchain gaming console built on Cartesi, a modular blockchain protocol.

And to showcase its capabilities, RIVES is launching the Doom Olympics, a seven-day competition starting on September 12, designed to push the boundaries of what’s possible in onchain gaming. Unlike traditional Web2 platforms, RIVES enables fully verifiable gameplay through “tapes”—interaction logs that ensure transparency and trust, as detailed in the linked article and thread. The competition will feature seven unique contests—Lightning Run, Knuckle Crusher, Infallible Aim, Secret Master, Treasure Seeker, The Completionist, and Enemy Eradicator—each with its own scoring system and objectives.
