HiMeet (Rook Club): Whitepaper
Version 0.1 · 8 November 2026 · https://serwmwser.github.io
This document describes the project as it works today and what is planned. It is not investment advice and does not promise any income.
1. Summary
HiMeet is a social platform for chess players and their friends. It combines a social network called Rook Club, free classifieds for the whole world with chat translation, 18+ dating, puzzles, tournaments and online chess where players can put USDC stakes on the Polygon network.
Stakes are held by an open smart contract, not by the website. The winner of a staked game receives 90% of the pot and the fee is 10%.
2. The problem
- Chess players who want more than a casual game have few places where the result carries a stake and the money is held by a neutral party.
- Communities, classifieds and dating live in separate apps, and cross-border classifieds suffer from language barriers.
3. What the platform offers
- Rook Club: a social feed, profiles, messages and voice messages.
- Classifieds: the first ad is free, with built-in chat translation between languages.
- Dating (18+): profiles and chat.
- Chess: free games against a bot or a friend, and games for USDC stakes.
- Puzzles and tournaments: free mate-in-1, mate-in-2 and mate-in-3 puzzles with XP, and free hourly arenas with points, badges and cups.
- Chess NFTs: a move from your own finished game can become an ERC-721 NFT on Polygon.
- Referral programme Eternal Gambit: invite friends with your personal link and receive a share of the fee from their paid games: 10%, 20% once you have 21 friends and 30% from 101 friends. A friend counts after their first paid game; income is not guaranteed.
- Languages: the interface is available in English and Russian; more languages are planned.
4. How a staked game works
- Sign in or connect a wallet.
- Hold 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.
- The game server applies the rules of chess and reports the result to the contract.
- The winner presses Claim and receives 90% of the pot. A draw or a cancelled game is refunded in full.
5. Smart contracts
ChessEscrow (stakes): 0xaf8714656261dc770A41857706FF4b2f495e92e9. GameNFT (chess NFTs): 0xD929546324c0d675C16C8005F2df59D79AEFf87B. Both are on Polygon and their source code is verified on Polygonscan.
The maximum stake is limited by the contract. The contracts have not had a paid third-party audit. Game results are reported to the contract by a server-side oracle key, so players trust the game server to report results honestly.
6. Money and fees
- Currency and network: USDC on Polygon; POL pays network fees.
- Chess stakes: 10% fee on the pot, the winner gets 90%.
- Classifieds: the first ad is free; extra ads 1 USDC per 30 days; renewal 1 USDC; top placement 3 USDC for 7 days.
- Chess NFT: 1 USDC plus the network fee; 5% creator royalties where marketplaces honour them.
- Signing in, the feed, dating, puzzles, tournaments and free chess are free.
7. Safety and fair play
- Age 18+ only. Responsible play information is on the site.
- Wallet sign-in: the site never asks for a password and never sees your private keys.
- Moderation tools for posts, ads and profiles; blocking and reporting.
- Rules of chess are enforced by the game server, including clocks and draw rules.
8. Planned features
- Calls between profiles.
- The TCH in-app token (see the TCH whitepaper).
- More interface languages.
9. Risks
- You can lose your stake. Blockchain transactions cannot be undone.
- Smart contracts may contain errors; the contracts have not been independently audited.
- Results depend on a game server and its oracle key.
- Rules for cryptocurrencies and games differ by country; you are responsible for following the laws of yours. The service may be unavailable in some countries.
- Play only with money you can afford to lose.
