Workbench

Workbench: Decentralized Crafting Protocol for Games

Workbench transforms traditional in-game crafting into a fully on-chain, gasless, and player-driven experience. It provides game developers with a modular protocol that handles crafting, trading, and inventory management — eliminating the need for backend servers while ensuring players truly own what they create.

What It Does

Players start by purchasing their initial resources to join the game economy. As they craft and progress, they’re rewarded with new, verifiable items that can be traded or combined into higher-tier assets. All crafting recipes, trades, and item states are recorded on-chain, ensuring transparency and ownership.

Workbench experience visualized

For developers, Workbench acts as a plug-and-play toolkit — a backend replacement that handles crafting logic, inventory, and peer-to-peer trading through smart contracts. This enables games to introduce blockchain-based economies without sacrificing user experience.

Tech & Innovation

• Powered by Xsolla ZK + Status Network
  Combining the scalability of Xsolla’s zkSync-based ecosystem with Status Network’s gasless Linea zkEVM stack, Workbench delivers a seamless, high-performance experience.Every crafting and trading action is instant, free of gas fees, and verified by native account abstraction.

• Smart Contract Core (Solidity + Hardhat)
  Implements ERC-1155 standards for item minting, recipe management, and marketplace logic.Includes Paymaster contracts for gasless UX and modular deployment.

• Frontend (React + ethers.js / viem + Wagmi)
  Clean, responsive interface integrated with Status Wallet and Xsolla ZK SDK.

• Storage & Indexing
  IPFS / Filecoin for item metadata, with optional The Graph integration for real-time event tracking.

Why It Matters

Most blockchain games use NFTs only as collectibles — static, disconnected assets. 
Workbench changes that by enabling functional, composable items that can be crafted, traded, and integrated across multiple games.

It empowers developers to:

• Focus on gameplay instead of infrastructure.

• Launch instantly with blockchain economies built-in.

• Access sustainable revenue through marketplace fees and crafting royalties.

And it gives players:

• True ownership of their progress.

• A dynamic, trustless economy.

• A frictionless, gas-free experience.
  
  

The Vision

Workbench is more than a crafting engine — it’s an open protocol for game economies. By bridging Xsolla ZK’s developer ecosystem with Status Network’s sustainable infrastructure, it lays the foundation for a new era of Web3 gaming, where every action matters and every item has value.
