Blast Royale

Client:First Light

Cyrex partnered with First Light to conduct white box penetration testing for Blast Royale, securing its Unity and Photon Quantum gameplay systems, live services, and blockchain-enabled marketplace and wallet integrations.

The Challenge

Securing a Web3 Mobile Battle Royale

Blast Royale is a free-to-play mobile battle royale built with Unity and Photon Quantum, integrating blockchain functionality that enables players to own, buy, sell, and trade in-game items through a dedicated marketplace.

Combining real-time multiplayer gameplay with cryptocurrency and wallet integrations significantly expands the attack surface.

First Light required validation across:

  • Live services infrastructure
  • Real-time multiplayer systems
  • Marketplace and trading logic
  • Crypto wallet integrations
  • Player profile and reward systems

In Web3-enabled multiplayer environments, vulnerabilities can affect competitive integrity, asset ownership, and user trust. Ensuring robust server-side validation and secure transaction handling was critical prior to broader adoption.

The Cyrex Solution

White Box Penetration Testing Across Gameplay & Blockchain Layers

Cyrex conducted comprehensive white box penetration testing, reviewing internal implementations of both gameplay systems and Web3 integrations.

This approach allowed our engineers to assess trust boundaries, validation logic, and transaction flows in depth.

Multiplayer & Core Gameplay Assessment

Our testing covered key gameplay systems, including:

  • Physics and shooting mechanics
  • Matchmaking infrastructure
  • Battle system logic
  • Reward distribution mechanisms
  • Profile management

We evaluated whether gameplay actions were properly validated server-side and resistant to manipulation, particularly within real-time Photon Quantum networking flows.

Marketplace & Wallet Security Validation

Given the blockchain integration, Cyrex also assessed:

  • Marketplace transaction flows
  • Buy, sell, and trade mechanisms
  • Crypto wallet integrations
  • Authorization and ownership validation

The objective was to ensure that digital asset transactions were securely handled and could not be exploited through improper authorization or crafted requests.

The Outcome

Strengthened Gameplay Integrity & Asset Protection

  • Identification and remediation of vulnerabilities across multiplayer systems
  • Strengthened marketplace and wallet validation mechanisms
  • Improved protection of player data and digital assets
  • Increased confidence in the game’s readiness for Web3-enabled scale
