# The Protocol The **Spyre Protocol**, which forms the backbone of Hangman, is a blockchain based tournament system. It has been built from the ground up to provide a safe and efficient means for Web3 game-makers and Web3 game-*players* to earn real value, *without speculation*. While many games profit on perceived future value of tokens (ERC-20, NFTs, governance, etc), the core value proposition of the Spyre Protocol is rewarding players based on in-game performance. NFTs and governance tokens fill out a periphery for the most engaged players. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
