maze402: An x402 Game Where On-Chain Payments Steer a Fruit-Fly Connectome Through a Maze
kleffew94 · x · 2026-09-12
Inspired by the 166k-neuron male fruit-fly connectome, maze402 is an x402 game where players send neural stimuli as on-chain payments to drive a fruit-fly model through a maze.
- Runs on Base Sepolia with Exact (waits for USDC transfer) and Batch (funded channel, voucher activates instantly) settlement schemes; gas is sponsored.
- Players pick gustatory/visual/locomotion signals priced at 0.001/0.01/0.1 test USDC, altering the modeled neural response; the fly explores stochastically and can't cross walls.
- Payouts: the last accepted payer at the exit takes 50% of the round's pot, the fly keeps 50%; escrow deposits are refundable and never count toward the pot.
