MindSports­ IO — A Decentralized Social Gaming Network

To ensure people do not get mixed up:

MindSports IO ≠ Mind Sport

MindSports IO is our upcoming decentralized social gaming network. Whereas, “Mind Sport” is a term for sport or game that relies on a participant’s mental ability as opposed to their physical strengths.

Our missions at MindSports IO is to invite users to participate in a decentralized community of mind sports enthusiasts.

While preparing for our platform throughout the past year and being veteran players of chess, go, and xiangqi, we noticed there are many individuals who are not familiar with the definition “mind sport”. We want to use our brand and presence to promote awareness of all aspect in intellectual game aka “mind sports.”

What is MindSports IO?

Our decentralized network allows users to host, play and vote online intellectual games such as Chess, Draughts (Checkers), Xiangqi (Chinese Chess), Bridge and Go. We host a large variety of intellectual games compared to any of the traditional services. We strive to create a robust and vibrant player community by incentivizing not only game participation, but also high quality, user-generated content to the community. Such incentives will bolster enthusiasm and awareness not only for this network, but in the wholesome and entertaining games and the community around the games.

MindSports Features.

For now to keep it simple, we will leave out the decentralized and blockchain aspect of MindSports IO. The following are the main features of the network.

Host Games — For many traditional website, games and tournament are created by the website owner in order to generate income. Users in the MindSports network are able to host their own tournaments and leagues. In return, the host can choose to be rewarded tokens based on parameters such as the number of participants or tokens commitment in their hosted games.

Network Governance — Be part of the MIND Registry to propose and vote for the mind games that the community would like MindSports IO team build and deploy to the network.
