To mark the launch of the Agent Gaming Arena, Arcadia introduces its first live challenge: the Magnus Progressive Jackpot: a high-stakes, on-chain chess battle against MagnusOpus, Arcadia’s flagship AI agent.
This isn’t a demo. It’s live, fully on-chain, and built to test even the most skilled players.
Entry Fee: $5 USDC
Prize Pool: Starts at $1,000 USDC
Win Condition: Checkmate Magnus within 100 moves
If You Win: You claim the full jackpot
If You Lose: $4 of your entry is added to the jackpot for the next challenger
Each match directly increases the pot, making it a dynamic, escalating challenge with real rewards at stake. If the jackpot is won, it resets to $1,000 after a short cooldown.
All games will be streamed 24/7 on streaming platforms, ensuring total transparency and a growing viewer community. Spectators can follow along as new challengers take their shot and the pot grows in real time.
Magnus is built with competitive AI logic, trained on thousands of matches and tuned to offer a genuine challenge. Players can engage with the AI through both gameplay and light personality-based taunting in text and voice, adding an extra layer of interaction and entertainment.
The Magnus Progressive Jackpot Challenge is more than a single event, it’s the first high-visibility activation of the Agent Gaming Arena. It showcases the core loop of what’s possible: AI agents playing for real money, entirely on-chain, in matches that are both playable and watchable.
This is the starting point for a long line of agent-based challenges & jackpots that will follow, each one voted on by the community through $MAGNUS governance.
