Kautuk Kundan says he sabotaged the leaderboard of Atari’s Base-developed “on-chain” Asteroids game to prove that crypto games should be verifiable on a blockchain.
Kautuk Kundan, the founder and CEO of Stackr Labs says he hacked Atari’s latest crypto arcade game — built on Coinbase’s Ethereum layer-2 network Base — to prove that its Asteroids game was not built on a blockchain despite the claiming to be “on-chain.”
In an Aug. 6 post to X, Kundan shared that he and his team at Stackr Labs had sabotaged the leaderboard of Atari’s recently launched Asteroids game without playing a single game.
“The game is not actually on-chain. When the user starts the game nothing happens on-chain, at the end of the game when you get a score, you state that score and you put in an API call,” Kundan said.
