Checkmate Arena

A real-money chess platform where a Solidity escrow holds the stake and a server-authoritative engine decides the result.

What we built

  • Escrow contract handling wallet deposits, fee locking and deterministic payout distribution.
  • Server-authoritative move validation with timer enforcement, so the client can never assert an illegal result.
  • Real-time player-versus-player infrastructure with reconnect and edge-case handling for abandoned games.
  • Audit trail over every financial transaction and match event, plus rate limiting on the write paths.
