Crypto Chess Game: Play Chess for USDC on Polygon
HiMeet is a crypto chess game where two players put USDC on the line and a smart contract on Polygon holds the pot. The winner claims 90%. Stakes are optional, so you can practise for free first.
How a crypto chess game works
- Sign in or connect a wallet.
- Get USDC and a little POL for network fees on the Polygon network.
- Create a game with a stake, or join one in the lobby. Both stakes go into the smart contract.
- Play. The game server applies the rules of chess and records the result.
- The winner presses Claim and receives 90% of the pot. A draw or a cancelled game is refunded in full.
Who holds the money?
The stakes are held by a smart contract on Polygon, not by the website. The source code of the contract is verified and public on Polygonscan, so anyone can read it.
The winner collects the prize from the contract with the Claim button. The website cannot take a stake out of the contract on its own.
Fees and limits
The fee is 10% of the pot, so the winner receives 90%. The contract limits the maximum stake. You also pay a small network fee in POL for each blockchain transaction.
Why USDC on Polygon?
USDC is a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, so a stake of 5 USDC stays about 5 dollars during the game. Polygon has fast confirmations and low network fees, which suits short chess games.
Chess NFTs from your games
After a game with a stake, the players can turn a move from that game into an NFT on Polygon. NFTs follow the ERC-721 standard and carry 5% creator royalties where marketplaces honour them. An NFT is a collectible and does not promise any profit.
Risks, honestly
You can lose your stake. Blockchain transactions cannot be undone, so check amounts and addresses in your wallet before you confirm. Smart contracts may contain errors despite checks. Cryptocurrency prices and rules differ by country, and you are responsible for following the laws of yours.
HiMeet is for adults (18+) and may be unavailable in some countries. Play only with money you can afford to lose, and take a break if it stops being fun.
