Are you directly partnered with FIDE?

Yes! Please see this press release for further details.

Why did FIDE choose Everscale blockchain instead of, for example, a project on Ethereum?

Ethereum based applications are known for high-transaction fees and complex user processes. Everscale has all the features of other similar platforms, but also offers multiple user-friendly interfaces and a host of technical capabilities which make it perfect for the requirements of a platform such as ours.

Where do the NFTs live?

A: All items live on the Everscale blockchain. NFT address is in URL, example: https://chessnft.com/item/0:0e625a3bf672bc7e846987958b2bde61f803c8d3e34ffdb32f7290e840ef7a54

You can also find a link to NFT in blockchain explorer in the item description.

What methods of payment are accepted?

You can guy your NFTs with crypto (ETH or EVER) as well as with cards (Mastercard, Visa), but you will need to have a noncustodial Ever wallet:

  • to put Collectibles on sale;
  • to buy Collectibles on the secondary market;
  • and to participate in auctions on the platform, they will be Ever-based.

For card payments, please check if your country is blacklisted.
