🚀 Atari’s Asteroids game, touted as “on-chain” on Coinbase’s Ethereum layer-2 network Base, got a reality check! Kautuk Kundan, CEO of Stackr Labs, hacked the leaderboard without playing a single game. 🤯

- Kundan revealed the game isn’t truly on-chain; scores are manipulated via API calls to Web2 servers.

- He stressed the need for verifiable on-chain commitments, pushing for his firm’s Proof of Gameplay system.

- Atari’s game launched on July 25 with prizes, including a $1,000 gift card, up for grabs.

Kundan’s hack aims to spotlight and solve persistent issues in crypto apps.
