Orbirium Launches November 18th on SUI & Zeko

Orbirium, a zk-powered idle crafter built by ZkNoid in collaboration with Silvana and ZekoLabs is launching next week as a featured side event in the Zeko Boom Contest.

Starting Tuesday, November 18th, players will dive into the world of Orbirium!

What Is Orbirium?

Orbirium challenges players to optimize production chains and automate resource flows to forge as many Black Orbs as possible. They’re the key to climbing the leaderboard and earning Zeko rewards!

But Orbirium isn’t just another idle crafter. Every action — collecting, upgrading, and crafting is processed on SUI and settled on Zeko, combining the strengths of both networks:

• Ultra-fast, low-latency interactions powered by SUI
• Provably fair, tamper-proof game state secured by Zeko

Gameplay

At its core, Orbirium is a strategic idle crafter built around resource optimization and automation.

Players begin with just one basic resource: wood. From there, the crafting tree gradually expands, revealing new materials, upgrades, recipes, and eventually high-tier components needed to craft Black Orbs.

Each resource has 3 possible upgrades:

• Click Power. Increases the amount of resources gathered with each manual click.
• Auto mining. Grants an increasing passive stream of resources.
• Storage. Increases the auto mining storage size.

Each upgrade point scales efficience linearly. Each 10th upgrade doubles the total coefficient!

To ensure the game stays fair for players with different schedules, Orbirium introduces a daily Energy system. Each action consumes Energy which resets daily. This means success is determined by smart decisions and optimized production.

Each decision matters:

• Invest resources into upgrades that accelerate production.
• Balance between short-term gains and long-term efficiency.
• Automate chains to maximize Black Orb output even while you’re offline.

The ultimate goal? Crafting Black Orbs — rare, high-tier artifacts that represent mastery over all resource flows.

Zk+SUI Synergy Architecture

Orbirium’s technical foundation blends performance with cryptographic security. Its three-tier system is designed for real-time gameplay with verifiable outcomes.

1. Application Layer (Client)

The gameplay interface operates directly in the browser or app client. It manages the crafting UX, automation logic, and user interactions, ensuring a responsive and intuitive experience.

2. SUI Layer (Execution)

SUI handles fast in-game transactions such as crafting actions, upgrades, and resource movements.

Its low-latency architecture makes it ideal for rapid, incremental idle-game mechanics.

3. Zeko Layer (Settlement)

Periodically, SUI game state is verified and settled on Zeko using zero-knowledge proofs.

This provides:

• Immutable proof of player progress
• Prevention of stat manipulation
• Transparent, fair leaderboard outcomes

This hybrid approach allows Orbirium to combine SUI’s speed with Zeko’s zero-knowledge security, pioneering a new model of zk-integrated gaming.

How to Earn Black Orbs

There are two ways to earn Black Orbs:

1. Unlock New Resources

• Every new resource you discover in the crafting tree rewards you with Black Orbs.
• Higher-tier resources yield more.Up to 38 Black Orbs can be earned just by completing the tree.

2. Craft Black Orbs Directly

• Once the entire crafting tree is unlocked, you can focus on producing Black Orbs themselves.
• Master and automate your resource flow to maximize production and dominate the leaderboard.

Stay tuned — the forge opens November 18th!
