Nova
Closed beta
Hi, I'm Nova. Nova Arena is short skill games against real people, and it's in closed beta. Ask me anything, or get your invite.
Typed questions are answered by an AI model, from our facts; tapped ones from a fixed list. Leave personal details out.
What it is
A small arena, built for fair matches.
Nova is your host. She greets you, shows you the games, explains the rules and reads your result back. Then it is you and the game.
Small rooms
Two to five players, one short match. The winner takes the prize; a tie splits it.
Practice is free
Once Nova Arena opens: any game, any time, in any country. No account and no money, against a clearly labelled practice bot.
Right in the browser
Phone or computer, nothing to install. Once it opens: load the page, pick a game, play.
The games
Two games to start, one on the way.
Each one will have free practice and, once cash play opens, cash rooms for adults.

Cash play · 18+
Cash play, in plain words.
Cash rooms are not open yet. When they open, this is exactly how they work.
-
Your own wallet
Signing up for cash play creates a self-custodial wallet for you (Openfort) that holds USDC on Base. It is yours: we never hold your money and cannot move it.
-
$1 to enter
Every entry is $1. 15 % of it is our platform fee, shown before you play, and that fee is our only income. The rest goes into the room's prize.
-
Held by a contract
Entries go into an on-chain escrow smart contract, never to us. After the match the contract pays the winner's wallet directly. A tie splits the prize; a room nobody completed is refunded.
-
Money in, money out
Add money by sending USDC to your wallet, or by card through MoonPay. Cash out to any wallet address, or to your bank through MoonPay. MoonPay runs its own identity checks; we don't ask for your ID.
Example · a room of four
| Entries, 4 × $1.00 | $4.00 |
| Our platform fee, 15 % | −$0.60 |
| Paid to the winner's wallet | $3.40 |
Where the law requires it, prize tax is withheld at source from the prize.

Fair play
Real people, checked matches.
Only real people
Every opponent in a cash room is a real person. No bots, no filler players, no fake queue.
Every paid match checked
Our anti-cheat system checks every paid match. A person reviews before any account is closed for cheating.
Same terms for all
Everyone in a room plays one match, pays the same $1 entry and sees the same fee before playing.
Questions
Short answers.
Is this gambling?
No. Nothing random picks the winner: no cards, dice, spins or draws, and we never play against you. How the players play decides every match.
When does Nova Arena open?
There is no date yet. When 1,000 people have joined the waiting list and the platform is ready, a countdown to the public launch starts.
Do I need an account?
Not to practice. Practice is free, needs no account and works in every country. An account is only for cash play.
Who holds my money?
You do. Your wallet is self-custodial, entries sit in an escrow smart contract, and prizes go straight to the winner's wallet. We never hold or move your funds.
What does it cost?
Practice costs nothing. A cash entry is $1, of which 15 % is our platform fee, shown before you play. That fee is all we earn.
Do you check my ID?
No. If you buy USDC by card, or cash out to a bank, through MoonPay, MoonPay runs its own identity check.
