MindSports IO is an intelligent and trusted board game network powered by Ethereum technology, anti-cheating layers and the MIND Registry for games such as Chess, Draughts (Checkers), Xiangqi, Bridge and Go. Mind sports is a modern term that came into use in the 1970s. It took a number of years for the concept of “mind sports” to distill into a clear definition. The mind sports industry continues to grow despite the widespread use of internet games; sponsorships and competitive play have created lucrative opportunities. Mind sports is not only for people who are academically gifted or “smart.” Numerous studies have demonstrated the direct benefits of playing mind sports, such as improvements to cognitive function and the slowing down of aging.
Intelligent, community managed Anti-Cheating Layers are in place to eliminate the possibility of cheating with the chess engine. Ethereum technology removes the centralized game host and will revolutionize the way mind sports are played. Mind sports players can create their own tournaments and games, and get rewarded with MIND tokens. Additionally, MindSports IO provides a place where people can place token bets against others with full confidence. The MindSports IO network is secure, serverless and trustless. Features include:
- An Intelligent, Community Managed Anti Cheating Layers
- Propose and vote for the next mind games on the network
- Create board games and tournaments
- Play trustless mind games
- Win MIND tokens
- Get rewarded for improving the Anti-Cheating Algorithm
Within the MindSports IO platform, a smart contract is an integral part of the gaming
process. The user can easily deploy a secure and highly modularized smart contract
template. Computation comes with a cost in the Ethereum Virtual Machine, it is expensive to verify each game move on-chain. Our goal is to create a trustless and efficient DApps. Both players can raise a dispute request through the smart contract for verification.
