TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / February 2, 2026 / Bluesky Digital Assets Corp. (CSE:BTC)(OTCQB:BTCWF) ("Bluesky" or the "Corporation") is pleased to announce that ChessGold Inc. ("ChessGold") continues to demonstrate strong global growth and market traction.

ChessGold has demonstrated significant market traction from July 2025 through February 2026, achieving a registered user base of 43,732 players across 221 countries and territories, representing near-complete global market coverage. The platform has processed over 283,000 competitive chess matches, evidencing strong user engagement and clear product market fit.

ChessGold's geographic footprint reflects true global diversification rather than reliance on a single region. Asia-Pacific leads adoption at approximately 55% of total users, followed by MENA (Middle East & North Africa) at 18%, Sub-Saharan Africa at 12%, Latin America at 9%, with Europe and North America comprising the remaining 6%. This distribution demonstrates organic growth across both emerging and developed markets without concentrated geographic dependency.

Platform integrity remains a core strategic focus. ChessGold operates a proprietary AI-powered anti-cheat detection system that continuously monitors gameplay behavior. The system has identified and confirmed dozens of violations, demonstrating both the robustness of the fraud-prevention infrastructure and the high quality of the competitive ecosystem.

User acquisition has scaled rapidly over the same period, with monthly new registrations increasing from 804 users in July 2025 to a peak of 14,251 new users in November 2025, representing a 17.7× growth rate within five months, followed by sustained onboarding through February 2026. With a fully operational dual-currency in-game economy and established monetization infrastructure, ChessGold is strategically positioned for accelerated revenue growth as acquisition and engagement continue to scale.

ChessGold is officially available on the Apple App Store with full Apple Pay integration for seamless in-app purchases. This marks a bold leap in accessibility and convenience for iOS users across the globe.

ChessGold also offers flexible payment options including Visa, Mastercard, and blockchain. Android users can now join the action via the Play Store Lite version, optimized for performance and speed. A dedicated web app is scheduled for release in Fall 2026, allowing players to compete directly from any browser on any device.

Major milestone: Beginning January 2026, ChessGold officially supports Google Pay, further streamlining payments, reducing friction, and enhancing accessibility for players worldwide.
