“ Web3 Poker & Betting Platform – Blockchain Gaming Developer Needed”
→ You are looking for a developer skilled in Web3 and blockchain gaming to build a poker/betting platform.

- Games are provably fair (no cheating or manipulation)
- Everything is transparent and verifiable on-chain

The goal is to combine:
- Crypto betting
- Online poker
- NFTs
- DAO governance

into one scalable Web3 gaming ecosystem.

You already have an MVP (early version), so the developer will continue from existing work, not start from zero.

3. Who This Is For

This job is for developers who:
- Know Web3 & smart contracts
- Have built real-time multiplayer apps
- Have experience with crypto wallets and blockchain security
- Want to work on a serious, long-term crypto project

4. Core Features & Vision (What the Platform Will Do)

You are telling developers what the platform must support:
Crypto Buy-ins & Payouts
Players can:

Real-Time Multiplayer Poker

This means you expect technical feedback, not just coding.

6. Responsibilities (What the Developer Will Do)

The freelancer will:

- Write and improve smart contracts:
- Bets
- Payouts
- Randomness
- Add wallet support for multiple chains
- Implement fairness verification
- Integrate NFTs
- Build DAO voting systems
- Ensure security and performance
- Help with architecture decisions

In short: full-stack Web3 game development.

- Provably fair gaming logic
- Blockchain security best practices

Preferred Stack (Nice to Have)

You are flexible, but prefer:

- NFT functionality
- Tests and documentation
- Deployment and post-launch support

10. What You’re Looking For (Ideal Candidate)
