# Proposal to Build Samurai Pull for SKALE Blockchain Network

## Overview
The Web3 gaming space is booming, with thousands of games launching and players eager to dive in. However, each game often comes with its own token, creating a messy experience for players who want to fund gameplay or buy assets. Developers, meanwhile, struggle to build smooth payment systems while keeping their games secure and fun.

We propose **Samurai Pull**, a simple yet powerful payment and interoperability tool designed for the **SKALE blockchain network**. Built on SKALE’s fast, gas-free, and flexible platform, Samurai Pull makes it easy for players to pay and play while letting developers focus on creating great games.

Think of Samurai Pull as a **"payment shortcut"** for Web3 gaming—a way to send money or assets to games without the usual hassle of connecting wallets or dealing with complicated steps. It’s secure, works across different blockchains, and even connects to everyday payment apps like WePay.

## Problem Statement
### Fragmented Token Ecosystems
Each Web3 game often uses its own token, forcing players to swap or move assets across chains, which is slow and expensive.

### Security Risks
Connecting main wallets to games can expose players to hacks, and keeping funds on-chain increases risks.

### Payment UX Friction
Paying in Web3 games involves tricky steps like wallet connections and gas fees, turning off new players.

### Developer Overhead
Building payment systems and getting them audited takes time and money away from game design.

### Interoperability Gaps
In-game assets (like swords or skins) are often stuck in one game, limiting their use elsewhere.

### Onboarding Barriers
Players without crypto can’t easily join, as jumping from cash to tokens is a pain.

## Solution: Samurai Pull
**Samurai Pull** is a **payment and interoperability layer** built on the **SKALE blockchain network**. It uses a special **"payment request"** system that lets games ask players for funds or assets directly—whether from a **crypto wallet** or a **regular payment app**—without needing to link their main wallet. With SKALE’s **no-fee, high-speed setup**, Samurai Pull keeps things **fast, safe, and simple**.

### Key Features
#### 🔹 Direct Payment Requests
- Games send a payment request straight to a player’s wallet (**works across chains like Ethereum or Polygon**).
- **Example:** Pay **5 USDC from Polygon** to join a SKALE game—done in seconds.

#### 🔹 Marketplace Integration
- Buy in-game items (e.g., an **NFT sword**) and send them to your game wallet without showing your main address.
- **Samurai Pull** handles the request securely.

#### 🔹 Game Wallet Top-Ups
- Add funds to a **game wallet** without linking your main one, with easy swaps (**e.g., ETH to game tokens**).

#### 🔹 Enhanced Security
- **No main wallet connection** means **less risk of hacks** (**"Security Pro Max"**).
- **Funds stay off-chain** until needed.

#### 🔹 Seamless Onramping
- **No crypto? No problem.** Pay with Web2 apps like **WePay** (**demo available, more partners case-by-case**).
- **Example:** Approve a **$10 WePay request**, get **game tokens on SKALE instantly**.

#### 🔹 Interoperable Gaming
- **Use assets or access across different SKALE games**.
- **Example:** A **shield from one game** can be requested by another.

#### 🔹 Decentralized Game Hosting
- Host games **securely across SKALE’s network**, safe from shutdowns or censorship.
