Aligned Layer

02 Oct 2025 — 2 min read

ZK Arcade is a new verifiable application built on Aligned that uses ZK to prove your scores/results in different arcade games.

It's a way for our community to test and experience our technology that opens up new ZK use cases on Ethereum, and a demonstration of how to integrate Aligned's Proof Verification Layer into your own apps.

True, verifiable, onchain leaderboards: enabled by ZK, powered by Aligned.

How can I play?

Access is granted by holding the ZK Arcade Ticket NFT.

The first phase of access will be an exclusive free mint, with 700 whitelist spots for the mint distributed to our community and through our partners.

We have been doing raffles during our streams and spaces, as well as IRL activations at Hacksummit and Korea Blockchain Week. Those winners will be announced soon!

Check out this thread announcing the partners and operators we're working with to distribute WL spots; be sure to follow them on X to maximize your chances to win.

ZK Arcade is launching soon with exclusive early access via 700 whitelist spots for the ZK Arcade Ticket NFT: your ticket to play.

Want in on the action? We're working with more than 30 of our partners and operators to distribute spots.

How does it work?

If you have a whitelist spot, you will be able to connect your wallet, mint the NFT, deposit a small amount of ETH to pay for verification, and play games.

After playing a game, you can generate a proof of your results and submit it to Aligned for verification.

Aligned verifies your proofs and posts the results to Ethereum, updating an onchain leaderboard with the best scores.

Players then can claim points for verifying scores and for completing new daily challenges.
