At Kernols, our mission is to bridge the gap between traditional Web2 gaming and decentralized Web3 architecture. We focus on building open-source projects that are:

• Frictionless: Abstracting away complex crypto wallets so anyone can play.
• Real-time: Utilizing high-speed WebSockets for live, multiplayer social interactions.
• Rewarding: Integrating smart contracts for trustless, automated payouts and mechanics.

Our current flagship open-source project is CinderX.

CinderX is a decentralized, real-time multiplayer arena where users engage in gamified social roast battles. Built on the Stellar blockchain, it allows the community to spectate, place predictions, cast votes, and take home real XLM rewards.

Project Highlights:

• 🔥 Live Arenas: Real-time 1v1 matchmaking powered by Node.js and Socket.IO.
• 💸 Seamless Onboarding: Auto-generated managed wallets via Clerk authentication.
• 🏆 Smart Contracts: Soroban (Rust) contracts for decentralized prize pooling.

We build using modern, scalable, and open-source technologies:

• Frontend: Next.js 14, React, Tailwind CSS, Framer Motion
• Backend: Node.js, Express, MongoDB, Socket.IO
• Web3: Stellar SDK, Soroban (Rust)

We are an open-source organization and welcome contributions from developers of all skill levels!
