Hustle Chess
Hustle Chess
This is a portfolio demonstration. The smart contracts are paused on-chain — no new games, wagers, or deposits are accepted. Nothing here will move your funds. Watch the walkthrough below or verify the contracts on-chain.
A peer-to-peer chess wagering platform on Avalanche. Players put real AVAX into smart-contract escrow, play live, and the winner is paid out automatically — with server-side anti-cheat scoring every game and zero platform fees.
On-chain escrow
Wagers lock in a smart contract — no custodial wallet, the server never touches the money. Resignation and timeout payouts settle on-chain.
Zero platform fees
No rake. The platform is supported by voluntary tips on victory — a deliberate design choice, not an afterthought.
Server-side anti-cheat
Every game runs through Stockfish analysis, move-timing, and per-player baseline deviation before payout — with cross-game pattern detection.
Tournaments
A separate contract and pure-logic bracket engine: seeding, BYEs, and Armageddon tiebreaks, with on-chain entry fees and prize distribution.
Real-time multiplayer
WebSocket move push with polling fallback, live video verification over WebRTC, and spectator mode with a move delay.
Built for Arena
Runs as an app inside the Arena social platform with native identity, profiles, and share-to-feed distribution.
