The making of the Hydra Doom experience.

I find it fascinating that Doom’s “determinism” (identical inputs will produce identical results in the gameplay) makes it possible to encode entire playstreams on-chain and have each of them compete against each other. Detractors of Cardano may accuse it of being relatively slow due to its high security on layer 1 compared to Solana, but layer 2’s like Hydra make that decision to prioritize determinism and statelessness look visionary when the roadmap is unfolded. Extended UTXO is paying off when it comes to parallelism.

Hats off to the Hydra team!

Ps. Yes. Technically I know it is not running Doom. Nonetheless this is a great demonstration of the power of the Hydra zk roll up tech.
