How prizes work

Chess first, settlement second. Moves and clocks stay on a fast game server; USDC entry locks in transparent escrow on Base.

  1. 01Enter with a clear breakdown

    When prize play is on, every paid screen shows entry, fee, prize contribution, payout schedule, and refund rules before you confirm.

  2. 02Compete on skill

    Standard chess, server-authoritative clocks, and published competition rules. No odds, no house line — equal entry only.

  3. 03Winner is paid

    After the result validates — and any integrity review — the winner receives the published USDC prize. Not enabled on this server yet.

Built for trust

A premium chess platform with transparent crypto settlement — not a sportsbook or casino.

  • Skill has real stakes

    Players compete on chess ability. Outcomes follow the board and published rules, not chance.

  • Transparent USDC prizes

    Stablecoin entries so a $10 stake stays about $10. Fees and prize pool are visible before entry.

  • Integrity before payout

    Illegal-move holds, disputes, and paid-play country gates. Flagged prizes can be held for review.

Skill competition

Built for equal-entry USDC prize chess. Prize play is not enabled on this server; free and ranked stay open.

Is this a game of chance?

No. CryptoChess is a skill competition. The chess result and published rules decide the outcome — not odds, random draws, or spectator betting.

How do paid entries work?

When prize play is enabled, both sides put in the same USDC amount. Entry, fee, and prize rules are shown before you confirm; the winner is paid after the result and any review. Prize play is not open on this server yet.

Do I need a wallet to start?

You need a wallet for paid-entry contests and paid tournaments. Free casual, ranked, and computer games work without one so you can practice first.
