OGGames is a Solana gaming platform we built for Build Squad, with chess at its core. Players create a game, invite an opponent, play in real time and wager tokens on the result — without wrestling with crypto onboarding first. Behind that sit matchmaking, live game state and on-chain transactions that all have to stay in step, plus the OGG token that powers participation and rewards.
How might we make competitive on-chain chess feel easy — without compromising real-time play or the integrity of every wager?
A Solana board-game platform with on-chain game pieces, token rewards and tournaments, designed in Figma and built on Next.js, NestJS, Redis and PostgreSQL.
