The on-chain chess battleground. Play. Stake. Conquer.
ChessWar is a chess mini-app built on Base that turns every game into a financial battle. Players compete in PvP matches, wager USDC, collect War NFTs for point multipliers, and earn CWAR tokens — rewarded to the warriors who dominate the leaderboard.
Every battle counts. Every point matters.
