A community tracker for an open peer-to-peer gaming protocol.
Discover rooms, follow leaderboards, watch stats live.
Open peer-to-peer game protocols ship without a front door. Rooms come and go, results scatter across logs, and player history lives in fragments. Without a community layer, the protocol is invisible to the people who would play on it.
"Players need a place to discover what is running right now, see who is active, and follow the leaderboards. A protocol can be open and verifiable and still be hard to use if nobody can find the room they want."
Arcade21 is that discovery layer.
Bram Cohen, the inventor of BitTorrent, built Chia with an open architecture that lets independent developers ship peer-to-peer games. Arcade21 sits on top, indexing rooms, tracking results, and ranking players so the ecosystem becomes navigable.
The underlying P2P protocol uses cryptographic primitives designed for real-time peer-to-peer play. Arcade21 reads from that protocol and presents the data; it does not run the matches. 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 is verified by the protocol, and every payout is settled by the protocol directly between the players. Arcade21 indexes and ranks; it does not host games or move funds.
No setup nightmare. No centralized account with your funds. Just connect, find a game, and play.
Every plan includes zero fees on P2P matches. Arcade21 monetizes around the tracker, not inside the games.
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.
