State-of-the-art sports platform Zetly has announced a new partnership with PowChess, with the two teams working together to allow more people to play online games using the BSV Blockchain as a platform.

Zetly is trying to solve the problem of funding for sports clubs and groups, with many of them losing sponsorship deals during the pandemic. It hopes that digital assets such as NFTs will provide new revenue streams and ways to fundraise.

PowChess is an online chess server that allows users to compete in games for real money using the BSV blockchain. The platform is unique because it has payments directly integrated into its platform – allowing for micropayments. Wealthier players can play for large sums of Bitcoin and they wouldn’t have any issues with a credit card allowing them to make a deposit. But smaller players or players in countries where credit cards aren’t easy to get have a barrier to entry with other chess games.

‘In this partnership, Zetly will provide the platform, their marketing skills and the userbase they have. We are going to provide them with the games for the platform and the blockchain infrastructure – including payments and NFTs,’ said PowChess co-founder Gal Buki.

Buki added that this would expand beyond the capabilities and features of what’s currently offered on the PowChess platform into completely new games that have purposely been built for Zetly and its platform.

‘We used the knowledge that we gained from PowChess to create the infrastructure on Zetly. There will be several casual minigames – what games in particular we can’t say yet. The infrastructure will all be BSV blockchain but we haven’t decided what other monetary features we want to add yet.’

‘We see a synergy here. From one side we bring the knowledge about the technology and Zetly brings the userbase. We hope that through this synergy they get a good project and we get more awareness and Zetly users who were until now not aware of our product.’

Buki added that this partnership was a fantastic opportunity to create synergy between the knowledge that PowChess can provide around the blockchain and Zetly’s growing community.
