Chess remains one of the most widely played and culturally significant games in history. With over 605.0 million players globally and over $2.5 billion in market value, its recent resurgence, driven by digital platforms, live streaming, and global accessibility, has brought the game to new audiences. Yet despite this momentum, the digital chess experience has remained largely unchanged. It continues to be the same game, with the same rules and mechanics. Anichess looks to modernize chess and reimagine the timeless game. By integrating spell-based mechanics, digital ownership, and player-driven governance, it reimagines chess as an interactive, evolving ecosystem. Anichess transforms the game as a new title that looks to advance chess adoption, giving seasoned players a twist to the game they love and empowering newer players by giving them an even playing field to enter the game and test their skills.

Sway Social is the first social protocol for Metacreators that uses NFTs to translate social capital into an asset class. This allows anyone to monetize their Metaverse on their terms. Every building block in Metaverse — game item, avatar, collectible, social media post, land title, etc. — is an NFT. Behind every NFT creator is a community that establishes the value of creator's social capital. In traditional Web 2 social media platforms, the number of ‘Likes’ or ‘Followers’ is directly correlated to their earnings power. Creator is primarily valued by the number of followers he can engage with. Sway introduces a web3 equivalent model where social capital is translated into an asset class. Instead of ‘following‘ a creator, participants can stake with their creator pool. Value is established based on the pool participation TVL. Stakeholders are providing a social underwriting facility for creators through a subDAO.
