🛡 How do EdChess Leagues work? 💎

Online tournaments can feel pretty unfair 'cause the pros grab all the prizes while everyone else just fills the seats. At EdChess, we’re changing the game.

Our League System is a total game-changer you won’t find on any other platform. We’ve made it possible for even casual players to walk away with real $TON prizes.

🛡 What makes it unique?

On most sites, the prize zone is basically a VIP club for masters. We do things differently with a dynamic prize pool:

• Leagues form while you play
You don’t need a fancy title to win. Our system automatically splits players into Gold, Silver, and Bronze tiers right during the tournament

• A level playing field
You aren't fighting some random world champion; you’re competing against players at your actual skill level

• 60% of the prize pool goes to the leagues
With 20% dedicated to each league, winning in Bronze is just as rewarding as hitting the overall leaderboard

👀 How to grab your prize:

1. Jump into any free tournament.
➡️ Pick your tournament

2. Play your qualifiers (the first 30 mins): You just need 4 blitz games or 8 bullet games.

3. Get sorted: The system handles the rest and places you in the right league.

4. Crush your league and take home the loot!
If you hit the top of the overall leaderboard, that prize takes priority over your league prize

We believe being a casual player doesn’t mean you aren’t ambitious. On other platforms, you’re just stacking experience. Here, you’re stacking $TON in your wallet.

💬 Have you won a league prize yet?

❤️ — Yes, it’s awesome!
🔥 — Not yet, but I’m in
🤔 — I have some other ideas

⚡️ $TON is Now 10x Faster
Feel the speed when you play on EdChess

The TON network just made a massive leap forward by activating the new Catchain 2.0 consensus. In plain terms, the blockchain is now 10 times faster, and transactions confirm almost instantly, in under a second.

This is all part of the 7-stage Make TON Great Again (MTONGA) roadmap. The first two stages are already done: the blockchain is faster, staking rewards are up (17%), and fees are lower.

⚡️What does this mean for the EdChess ecosystem?

Blockchain speed directly affects how smooth and comfortable your gameplay and asset management feel.
Thanks to the network upgrade and our own internal optimizations, EdChess is now more powerful than ever:

• Instant operations
Deposits, withdrawals, and in-game actions now happen noticeably faster

• Stable under pressure
Overall network throughput has grown dramatically, so even during peak activity on TON, EdChess transactions will run without any delays

• Web3 at web speed
EdChess now performs at a level close to a regular web app

We're also continuing our own work to make EdChess not just the smartest, but also the most technically advanced chess platform out there.

Right now our team is deep in internal optimization, and things are only going to get faster and smoother from here!

💬 What’s your plan for round two?

🔥 — Got the first board, getting the second
❤️ — Here for the $TON
🏆 — Going all in on this PP

⚡️ TON is up 65% 🪙
Why now is the best time to win in EdChess

Over the past two days, $TON has surged by about +65%. This is a new six-month high.
The coin has entered the top 17 largest cryptocurrencies in the world.

Clearly, the value of your rewards in EdChess is growing along with $TON. Every win in tournaments or game modes is becoming a more valuable asset for you tomorrow.

You play → earn $TON → $TON goes up → your rewards become more valuable

📈 Why is $TON rising?

This isn’t random. It’s the result of fundamental changes under the MTONGA program (Make TON Great Again):

• Faster $TON
The network has been upgraded to Catchain 2.0, making $TON one of the fastest blockchains out there. Transaction confirmation time is now down to 1 second.

• Lower fees
TON transaction fees have dropped almost to zero, around $0.0005 per transaction.

• Telegram is now the largest validator
The ecosystem is supported by a major player like Telegram, which increases trust in the network. Also, over 200M TON is already staked (around $446M).

• Higher staking yield (up to ~17%)
$TON staking now offers about 17% yield. When returns are this high, more holders choose to keep their TON in the network instead of selling.

What does this mean for the EdChess community?

We’re building a chess platform on a strong and growing ecosystem.
And while $TON keeps hitting new highs, your achievements inside EdChess turn into assets that grow with the market.
