Hello HODLers!

As you probably noticed, crypto-gaming sector is on fire in this period so I would like to share with you some info about a new project that allows gamers to play the most famous video-games (FIFA 21, NBA, Madden NFL, Call Of Duty, Super Crypto Card and many others will be added soon, like for example Apex Legends) and get rewarded for playing games and winning tournaments.

What is Chain Games (CHAIN)? Chain Games is a purely peer-to-peer (P2P) decentralized gaming network and marketplace allowing users on any connected web-based device to enter into a contest against one another for an entry fee to compete in online games of skill and win cryptocurrency. Right now 2 games are available in the play for free and earn mode: it's possible to play Call of Duty Warzone for free and earn Chain if you win. Other videogames need a small fee to register for the tournament and win prizes.

Chain Games AMA with the Founder and CEO Adam Barlam: Can we know when and who is gonna lead marketing? I’m talking about big Youtube channels and influencers/gaming community/etc.

Adam: We have hired a well known person in the crypto community to be our “Chief Influence Officer (CIO). We haven’t made the official announcement yet, but he is hard at work preparing everything for this role. He has already aligned us with another popular streamer we have hired. This streamer who we will be announcing soon, will also be in charge of pulling in a wide variety of known streamers from the low/mid and high level tiers! These streamers will be streaming our games to their audience to help spread the word about Chain Games. In addition this streamer will be splicing together clips and videos of streams from the streamers he brings onboard and publishing them to popular social media outlets to further our reach to the gaming community and help with the virality of our games and products.

Do you have any new partnerships on the road map for this year? When and who?

Adam: We are constantly looking for new partnerships and already have a number of them in the works that will be announced soon. Both crypto-based partnerships and traditional gaming partnerships. Like any company, unfortunately we can’t prematurely announce anything until the official paperwork and legal process is done, but stay tuned!

When are you planning to join bigger exchanges?

Adam: I have been in the crypto scene for many years and have been contacted and worked with many exchanges during that time period on various crypto projects. Unfortunately the vast majority of exchanges are wash trading scam exchanges with illegitimate volume. It’s just not worth their onboarding fees to be added to them. There are only about 9 exchanges we feel would be worthwhile to list on, and they are Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, Gemini, Bitfinex, Huobi, OkEx, Crypto.com and KuCoin. Those are the only exchanges we are interested in joining, and we need to grow a little more to be a worthwhile add for them. I would say KuCoin is the only exchange in that list that I feel we could potentially join a little earlier before the others. For now, especially with cheaper gas fees, we feel Uniswap, PancakeSwap, and Transak for our fiat on-ramp will suffice in the interim.

What are the major things that Chain Games has achieved in terms of development in the last few months? Adam: We have achieved a TON in the last few months. Some highlights include:

  • Addition of new games to the Battle dashboard such as FIFA, NBA and Madden into our Tier 1 portfolio.
  • Ability for NFT-enabled games to function on the Chain Games platform, with Super Crypto Kart (SCK) being the first title to support this functionality. SCK testnet followed by mainnet update will be pushed in 3 weeks, with unique NFT karts available for purchase, giveaway and to win in-game! All purchases will be done with CHAIN tokens.
  • Announcement of expanded partnership with Atari which includes a custom skill-based and blockchain enabled AVICII Beat Legend game.
  • Open Source SDK in development to allow for any developer, studio, etc to connect into the Chain Games network for skill-based and NFT-based gaming utilizing the CHAIN token.
  • Solitare Plus added to testnet on Web, iOS and Android, with community release imminent.
  • Speed Chess currently in development on testnet for Web. Screenshots and testnet version coming soon!
  • Partnership with WORLD token and NFT marketplace which included 0.8% airdrop of their total supply to stakers.
  • Partnership with CentralEx exchange which includes a 2.5% airdrop of their total supply to stakers.
  • New SLICK and modernized Battle dashboard being tested internally, videos and screenshots coming soon!
  • CHAIN token added to Binance Smart Chain (BSC) as bCHAIN for trading capabilities on PancakeSwap.
  • Partial staking/unstaking added to staking platform.
  • MATIC Layer 2 staking ongoing internal development. And much much more that we can’t talk about QUITE yet ;) We are constantly BUIDLING with our ears to the ground!

How many games are on testnet at this moment? Adam: Currently all games that are on mainnet also exist on testnet. Games that are on testnet that are waiting to move to mainnet include:

  • Solitaire Plus

  • Speed Chess

  • CHAINO for iOS/Android

  • SCK NFT-enabled Version
