Auction Flow

Our cross-chain auction game follows a well-defined sequence of steps to ensure secure, private, and fair gameplay. Below is the outline of the game's auction flow:

1. Encryption Key Generation: An encryption key is generated within the enclave of the Secret Network. This encryption function is available for all users to encrypt their bids but cannot be used to decrypt them.

2. Bid Encryption: Users place bids by encrypting their bid amounts directly against the encryption function with the secret contract. This process does not reveal the bid amounts to anyone, ensuring privacy.

3. Cipher and Hash Transaction: The encrypted bids (ciphers) and their corresponding hashes are submitted to the EVM contract hosted on the Polygon network.

4. Rank Table Generation: Our custom communication layer feeds the ciphers to the Secret Network, which generates a real-time rank table based on the encrypted bids.

5. Auction Ends: The auction concludes after a predetermined period. No new bids can be placed or processed after this point.

6. Key Release: Our custom communication layer releases the encryption key, allowing all parties to decrypt the bids. This process is facilitated only after the auction ends, ensuring fair gameplay.

7. Finalization: The custom communication layer feeds the decrypted bid amounts to the EVM contract on the Polygon network for finalization and reward distribution.

By following this sequence, our technology ensures a secure, private, and fair bidding environment that provides an engaging user experience while preserving the integrity of the game.
