Peer-to-peer skill matches settled on the Chia blockchain.
Zero rake. Provably fair. No middleman.
Flashy white papers. Vague talk of true ownership and player-driven economies. Projects that raised millions, launched NFTs, then went quiet before a single real game was ever played. The problem was never the vision. The problem was the infrastructure.
"Most chains weren't built for gaming. Their consensus mechanisms are too slow, too expensive, or too centralized for real-time peer-to-peer gameplay. They can hold assets, but they can't settle the microsecond logic of a poker hand without making every transaction cost more than the wager itself."
Chia changes that equation.
Bram Cohen — the inventor of BitTorrent — built Chia with a fundamentally different architecture. State channels, Chialisp smart contracts, and BLS signatures combine to make real-time P2P gameplay not just possible, but elegant.
Every game on Arcade21 runs on cryptographic primitives engineered for real-time peer-to-peer gameplay — not retrofitted onto infrastructure built for something else. Arcade21 is a recipient of the Chia Cultivation Grant, awarded on the merits of our team, product, and contribution to the Chia ecosystem.
Every match is peer-to-peer, every outcome cryptographically verifiable, every payout settled on-chain. Arcade21 is not a casino operator — outcomes are determined by the players and the protocol.
No setup nightmare. No centralized account with your funds. Just connect, find a game, and play.
Every plan includes zero rake on P2P games. We monetize around the marketplace — not inside it.
Plan features and XCH/USD equivalencies may adjust with market conditions. Your quoted XCH amount at checkout is the amount used for activation.
Founding members get first access to paid plans, a permanent founding badge on their profile, and priority tournament registration — none of which can be purchased after launch.
