Web 2.5 Simplifies User Experience

Bridging the Gap Between Traditional and Onchain Gaming to Create a Frictionless Experience

Andrometa leverages a hybrid infrastructure that combines the robust, relational data management capabilities of PostgreSQL with the transparency, immutability, and decentralization offered by blockchain technology. This approach ensures that every digital asset—whether it is an avatar, weapon, or collectible—maintains its unique characteristics through embedded metadata, allowing for seamless transitions between games, upgrades, and trades. By blending these technologies, Andrometa achieves efficient gameplay while empowering players with true digital ownership, interoperability across titles, and complete confidence in the value and integrity of their assets.

PostgreSQL Integration for Blockchain Emulation

Data Integrity Through Write-Ahead Logging (WAL)

PostgreSQL's Write-Ahead Logging ensures that every transaction is recorded in a manner that preserves data integrity and provides an immutable record of changes. This functionality is akin to how blockchain nodes confirm and record transactions, allowing Andrometa to track user actions and changes to digital assets in a structured, verifiable way.

Trigger-Based Logging

To ensure historical traceability akin to blockchain's chain of blocks, PostgreSQL triggers are implemented to create audit trails every time a transaction affects game data. This includes actions such as the purchase, sale, or modification of in-game assets. These audit trails enable a comprehensive history of modifications, ensuring transparency and accountability within the system.

Emulation of Token Transactions

PostgreSQL tables are designed to mimic blockchain ledgers by maintaining a record of asset ownership and transactions. These tables keep track of user wallets, asset metadata, and transaction histories, providing a clear, queryable history of digital asset transfers and states. Using indexing and foreign keys, the system ensures that data can be traced back efficiently, much like tracking token movements on a blockchain. This ensures a constant 1:1 sync between our database and the blockchain.

Atomic Operations for Consistency

PostgreSQL allows Andrometa to ensure that all operations are completed as atomic transactions, meaning either all parts of a transaction are completed, or none are—similar to blockchain's concept of consensus, where state changes must be validated as a complete unit. This guarantees consistency in asset state and prevents partial updates that could lead to discrepancies.
