Team Secret joins Web3 Checkmate Ecosystem, launches membership NFT

Team Secret has joined the Checkmate Ecosystem, a Web3 gaming network based on the CHECK token. The network includes Anichess, a chess-based game backed by Chess.com and Magnus Carlsen.

As part of this, Team Secret is set to launch a Web3 membership NFT pass, which will unlock many engagement opportunities for fans.

“At Team Secret, we’ve always been about striving for excellence and innovation,” said John Yao, CEO of Team Secret. “Joining Checkmate Ecosystem is a game-changer for digital engagement.”

The Team Secret Membership Pass is a non-fungible token (NFT) that serves as a membership pass. Holders of this NFT will have access to VIP ticket opportunities, community tournaments, and AMA sessions with Team Secret’s players across Dota 2, VALORANT, and Rainbow Six Siege X.

“By launching our Membership Pass NFT and adopting the CHECK token, we are moving toward a future where our fans have a direct stake in our ecosystem, from immediate utility in merchandise to unprecedented access to our players and global events,” added Yao.

Team Secret will also incorporate the CHECK token as a payment and participation token. This means that fans will be able to purchase merchandise with it and also participate in paid tournaments. The organisation will also reward the token through select events.

In a release, the Checkmate Ecosystem said that Team Secret will also be hosting ‘high-profile’ Anichess tournaments.

“Anichess and Team Secret are not just looking at a one-off campaign; we are building a long-term infrastructure for fan empowerment through membership NFTs and tokenised rewards that will redefine the esports experience for years to come,” said Chevan Tin, Head of Anichess.

Anichess is like traditional chess, but incorporates a new twist with several magical spells. These include Imposter (swap with an opponent’s piece) and Bis-hop 2.0 (the Bishop can leap over one piece).
