Sophos is a trustless, decentralized betting platform where users predict the next move in live chess matches. Powered by Yellow Network’s state channels and Vlayer’s ZKP-based Web Proofs, Sophos delivers a fast, gasless, and verifiable experience — turning chess into a game of prediction, skill, and crypto-powered rewards.
Traditional betting platforms suffer from:
- Centralization and lack of transparency
- High gas fees and constant wallet confirmations
- Delays and disruptions in real-time markets
- Vulnerability to bots and manipulation
🎯 Sophos aims to fix this with a real-time, trustless, and bot-resistant system — where logic and timing matter more than luck.
Sophos streams real-time chess data from the Lichess API — no delays, no distortion. Each move reflects the actual game as it happens.
Thanks to Yellow Network’s state channel tech:
- Users sign only once per session.
- All future bets are processed offchain, with no gas fees and no repeated wallet prompts.
- Enables high-frequency, real-time prediction betting.
Using Vlayer’s Web Proofs, each move is cryptographically verified with zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) and submitted to the blockchain. This ensures:
- Tamper-proof, on-chain verifiability
- Full transparency
- No need to trust any centralized party
- Players predict the next move before it's played.
- Accurate predictions increase your stake in the dynamic reward pool.
- Final payouts are based on accuracy and consistency throughout the game.
