what's Skullcoin?

Skullcoin is a Web3 gaming project built as a gamification layer for Bitcoin DeFi, primarily on the Stacks layer-2 blockchain. It introduces Find to Earn mechanics where players hunt for hidden EncryptedNFTs on-chain, unlocking rewards and liquidity through sBTC integration. The protocol combines on-chain gaming with Bitcoin's security, enabling play-to-win experiences like treasure hunts with real crypto prizes. Key features include interactive maps for coordinate-based challenges, NFT integrations for collectibles, and community-driven events such as hackathon demos and giveaways. By leveraging Bitcoin Ordinals and Stacks, Skullcoin aims to expand GameFi opportunities without relying on traditional VC funding, focusing on decentralized, provably fair gameplay.
