Whitepaper

ChessVora is a browser-first Solana/Web3 chess arena. Wallet identity is optional, and current play is guest-friendly and transaction-free.

What Is ChessVora?

ChessVora combines a pixel-art chess interface with backend-authoritative game systems. The current app supports guest play, wallet identity, server practice, unrated PvP, quests, profile progress, inventory surfaces, and leaderboards.

Game Modes

Server Practice vs Bot and Unrated PvP are available. Local practice remains a fast client-side mode. Ranked matchmaking, rated matches, and ELO updates are not active.

Wallet Identity

Wallet login proves ownership by signed message only. It does not request a transaction, charge a fee, transfer SOL, mint tokens, mint NFTs, or create marketplace permissions.

Server-Authoritative Matches

Server-backed matches rely on backend validation for game state, moves, clocks, match records, and PvP room flow. Client-side chess logic remains a UX aid, not the authority for rewards or rankings.

Cosmetic Progression

Profile XP, quests, cosmetics, and inventory surfaces are non-financial. Cosmetic XP cannot become money, pool points, ELO, prize eligibility, token value, NFT ownership, or payout eligibility.

Fair-Play Approach

Existing logs, reconnect handling, public match projection, and server-owned records are foundations for future fair-play review. They do not activate ranked play or prize systems.

Future Ranked Systems

Ranked concepts are future research only. Ranked matchmaking, rated matches, and ELO updates remain disabled in the current product.

Future Prize Pool Concept

Prize pool systems are not live. Prize eligibility, payments, payouts, pool points, paid tournaments, and reward distribution remain disabled until explicitly designed, audited, and enabled in a future phase.

Current Status

No rewards, no payouts, no token, no NFT, no marketplace, no paid tournaments, no active CA. CA: Coming Soon.
