The platform's commitment to pushing game data both on-chain and off-chain guarantees that all move histories are immutable and transparent, addressing common concerns about fairness and cheating in online play. With ambitious plans to integrate an on-chain ELO ranking system, introduce a unique currency, and launch eSports tournaments, Chess3 aims to transform chess into a spectator sport, enabling fans to bet on high-profile matches and engage with the game in entirely new ways.

The decision to build on the SKALE Network was driven by several key factors, including zero gas fees, high scalability, and a growing user base. These features align perfectly with Chess3's vision of creating a seamless and accessible gaming experience, free from the barriers often associated with blockchain transactions. SKALE's reputation as a leading chain for on-chain gaming further solidified its position as the ideal platform for Chess3, offering the technical foundation necessary to support the project's innovative features and ambitious growth plans.
