The Cult on Ronin — Project Blueprint

We have submitted our application to Ronin's The Forge grant, but there is still no grant confirmed. We may switch to a new L1 based on ongoing negotiations.

Overview

The Cult is being built as a community-driven protocol on the Ronin Network. Ronin serves as the on-chain layer for identity, progression, staking, and $CULT governance, while gameplay itself is handled off-chain in USDT for stability and operational efficiency.

Player activity contributes to Proof-of-CULT, a progression model that defines rank, engagement, and benefits inside the ecosystem. Ronin provides a transparent and secure environment for managing this progression without storing sensitive gameplay information.


Gameplay and Settlement

Players may deposit supported assets such as RON, ETH, or USDC. All deposits convert internally to USDT, which is used for settlements, payouts, and gameplay.

Gameplay and account balances remain off-chain for traditional slots and casino games, while 100% RTP games are all on-chain. A secure oracle sends only the data relevant to the CULT protocol to Ronin, such as:

  • XP earned through participation

  • Rank changes

  • Eligibility for distributions

  • Governance weight

Only CULT-related metadata is synchronized on-chain. This ensures privacy for gameplay activity while maintaining transparent progression logic.


Ronin Layer

Ronin functions as the identity and rewards infrastructure for The Cult.

Each wallet receives a soul-bound Cult Identity NFT, which tracks:

  • XP and overall progression

  • Rank within the hierarchy

  • Eligibility for rewards

  • Governance weight

  • Long-term engagement

Identity NFTs are non-transferable and serve as a persistent record of a player’s development in the ecosystem.

Smart contracts on Ronin manage:

  • Rank progression

  • $CULT staking

  • USDT rewards distribution

  • Buyback-driven burn events

  • Voting and governance modules

Ronin acts as the reliable, verifiable state layer for the CULT protocol.


$CULT Token Utility

$CULT operates on Ronin and supports several functions:

  • Governance participation

  • Eligibility for protocol USDT yield

  • Rank progression and identity benefits

  • Access to specific CULT features and events

$CULT has a fixed total supply. Tokens are minted only through reward logic tied to user activity. Staking $CULT enables holders to participate in reward distributions, which are paid directly in USDT, and provides governance influence inside the platform.

A portion of available profits may be used for strategic buybacks and burns to support long-term scarcity.


Anti-Multi-Account Framework

The Cult includes systems designed to keep progression fair:

  • Identity NFTs are bound to the wallet and cannot be transferred

  • Rank and XP are tied to long-term participation

  • New wallets begin with no progression

  • Activity patterns can be analyzed to limit coordinated misuse

Players benefit most from maintaining a single, long-term identity.


Why Ronin

Ronin provides:

  • Low-cost transactions

  • A gaming-optimized EVM environment

  • A strong Web3 user base

  • Native NFT and identity support

  • Scalable infrastructure for on-chain governance and reward logic

The Cult aligns naturally with Ronin’s focus on community-driven digital experiences.


Ronin Forge Innovation Grant Application

The Cult applied to the Ronin Forge Innovation Grant to accelerate development.

Grant support will be used for:

Smart Contract Development Identity contracts, staking modules, treasury contracts, reward logic, and governance.

Oracle Integration Secure and efficient transfer of CULT-related metadata from the off-chain engine to Ronin.

Governance Tools On-platform proposal and voting modules based on $CULT balance.

Mainnet Deployment Identity NFTs, staking, and treasury mechanics fully live on Ronin.

The Cult brings a new type of project to Ronin: an identity-based entertainment protocol where progression and shared value are transparent and verifiable.


In One Line

The Cult on Ronin turns player activity into a transparent identity and progression system — with USDT for gameplay, Ronin for state, and $CULT for governance and rewards.
