How to buy Tranchess (CHESS)

How to buy and use Tranchess (CHESS) on its native network

Tranchess (CHESS) is a governance token for a DeFi asset management protocol launched in 2021. It operates primarily on the BNB Smart Chain (BEP20). Users can earn CHESS by staking other protocol tokens like QUEEN, BISHOP, or ROOK. To participate in governance, users can lock their CHESS to create veChess.

Verified routes to get CHESS

You can find CHESS on several centralized and decentralized platforms. Always verify the trading pair and network before initiating a swap.

Centralized exchanges with verified market pairs:

• BVOX (CHESS/USDT)
• HitBTC (CHESS/USDT)
• PancakeSwap v2 (BSC) (CHESS/USDC)
• PancakeSwap v3 (BSC) (CHESS/USDT)

Decentralized exchange (DEX) routes:

• pancakeswap (CHESS/USDC and CHESS/WBNB)
• dinosaureggs (CHESS/WBNB)

What the native network does

CHESS uses the BNB Smart Chain (BSC). This network allows the protocol to implement smart contracts for its tiered investment solutions and governance mechanisms. The protocol uses a structure involving different token tiers and a governance model where CHESS holders can influence the direction of the project through veChess.

Wallet, transfer, and network-fee checks

To hold CHESS in self-custody, you need a wallet that supports the BNB Smart Chain (BEP20).

When adding the token to your wallet, use the verified contract address: 0x20de22029ab63cf9A7Cf5fEB2b737Ca1eE4c82A6. You can verify this address on the official explorer.

All transactions on this network require BNB to pay for gas fees. If you do not have BNB in your wallet, you will be unable to transfer CHESS or interact with the protocol.

Self-custody and withdrawal risks

Moving assets from an exchange to a private wallet carries specific risks. Deposit and withdrawal support for CHESS is not verified for the routes listed above unless the exchange explicitly states it in their current interface.

Common mistakes include using lookalike contract addresses or sending tokens via the wrong network. This can result in a total loss of funds. Always double check the contract address against the official Tranchess website or documentation.

Additionally, exchange availability and KYC requirements vary by country. Check your local regulations and the specific account limits of your chosen platform before depositing funds.
