### Tapzi: Decentralized Skill-Based Competitive Gaming

Tapzi is a decentralized gaming platform built for real competition in Web3. It brings classic games such as Chess, Checkers, and More on-chain as skill-based matches, where outcomes are determined predominantly by player skill and strategy rather than chance.

Designed for both crypto-native users and mainstream players, Tapzi lets you stake $TAPZI to enter live multiplayer matches and compete for the prize pool, with results settled transparently on the BNB Smart Chain.

#### **A Different Approach to GameFi**

Much of GameFi has relied on passive farming, inflationary token models, and play-to-earn mechanics that fade once new users slow down. Tapzi takes a different path, focused on:

* Real-time competitive gameplay
* Transparent, verifiable rules
* On-chain settlement of match results
* Skill-based prize distribution

#### **Security & Infrastructure**

* ✅ [**Team KYC Verified**](/audit-and-kyc.md) by Solidproof for investor confidence
* 🔒 [**Smart Contracts Audited**](/audit-and-kyc.md) by Solidproof & Coinsult (zero critical issues)
* ⚡ **Built on BNB Smart Chain** for fast, low-cost transactions

#### **Current Status**

Tapzi is live in public beta at [tapzi.io/game](https://www.tapzi.io/game). Players can connect a wallet, stake $TAPZI, and play verified skill-based matches today. Development continues on additional games, cosmetic NFTs, a native mobile app, and a developer API. See the Roadmap for what comes next.

Skill. Strategy. Real competition. Welcome to Tapzi.
