Wyre, a leading cryptocurrency compliance infrastructure provider, is announcing a new marketplace with Chess.com, an internet chess server and news and social networking website. The companies have launched a first-of-its-kind, NFT ecosystem at the intersection of blockchain and gaming known as Treasure Chess (Treasure.Chess.com). Now, utilizing Wyre’s platform, users can buy NFTs directly, without having to purchase cryptocurrency first. Additionally, users can sell NFTs in the marketplace to earn cryptocurrency without needing to purchase the digital asset, have a wallet or understand metamaskas. Treasure Chess generates an Ethereum Address for users that sign in with their Chess.com account.
Treasure Chess is utilizing the benefits of blockchain-based ownership making ownership permanent, easy and secure, all while leveraging the security and scaling of Polygon, a blockchain priding itself on energy efficiency. In fact, minting a Treasure NFT on Treasure Chess requires less energy than playing a game of chess online. Further, the marketplace is paying all transaction fees on behalf of their users, in an unprecedented move to increase accessibility of NFT projects. Individuals will be able to convert fiat to USD Coin (a digital stablecoin pegged to the US Dollar), purchase, sell, mint, and collect NFTs, without exposure to price volatility. Users will also be able to cash out instantaneously while creating collections of Treasure NFTs from games of their favorite chess streamers and content creators.

Plus, it’s fun!” explained co-founder & CEO of Treasure Chess, Joseph Schiarizzi. “We start with an amazing marketplace that doesn’t extract, but creates value for chess players, steamers and content creators.
