About the Pinball Protocol & 313.cash
Introducing the Pinball Protocol — The Ruby on Rails Interface for Scalable Blockchain Integration
The Pinball Protocol is a Ruby on Rails-based engine that acts as a universal interface between Rails applications and RPC-enabled blockchains. Designed for seamless scalability, Pinball bridges the gap between traditional web app development and decentralized networks.
At its core, the protocol features automated input and transaction management through our Thumper/Bumper system, allowing for efficient, rule-based blockchain interactions—whether it's processing payments, dispatching transactions, or triggering contract calls.
- Automated Transaction Handling (Thumper/Bumper): Streamline RPC calls, wallet interactions, and state updates with event-driven automation.
- User Profiles & Asset Management: Map blockchain assets directly to user profiles, including ownership records, tips, and transfers.
- Event Ticketing & Access Control: Leverage blockchain for real-world and digital event passes, ticketing, and redemption powered by ownership proofs.
- Gamified Airdrops & Dynamic Content Delivery: Engage your community with programmable token drops, loyalty rewards, and in-app incentives.
- Layered Integration: Easily extend to multi-chain setups, colored coins, and Layer 2 assets without breaking your Rails stack.
313.cash is a platform enabling free economies to flourish without gatekeepers. Built to prototype the pinball_protocol, 313.cash features:
