Checks: An On-Chain Game of Checkers

Checks is a game inspired by artist Jack Butcher. You can find the original artwork here. As it was taking the NFT community by storm this week, we created a derivative project called Checks: An On-Chain Game of Checkers. The rules are simple:
We dropped 80 free NFTs, with a limit of 1 per wallet
80 verified holders are now playing on-chain checkers vs. Highlight
There’s 1 move per day with verified voting and daily metadata updates as we play
Any royalties go to Feeding America
We built the whole project using our creator toolkit in minutes. So far, dozens of people have been playing each day, and tokens are selling on the secondary market. For more about the project, see here.
Auction Improvements
We launched auctions last week and followed up with a series of small improvements:
Added the ability to edit and re-run auctions. Currently, auctions can have their start date, end date, and reserve price edited unless the auction has received a bid at or above the reserve price
Added copy to explain the time buffer and minimum bid increase percentage to bidders
Added full support for auctions on mint card embeds, making it even easier to host your own auction on any custom website and domain
Improved error messages for bidding, reserve prices, and more
On the Gates tab, we added visibility into auctions that may be using a token-gate
Other Improvements
Here’s what else we shipped this week:
Made it easier to understand your collection metadata on Etherscan
Added the ability to delete an imported NFT collection or token
Added the ability to use imported tokens in various product flows
Improved the ability to select a token from your wallet in various product flows
Improved the ability to tap on mint page links from mobile
Cleaned up some scrollbar issues on the transaction history dropdown
Updated the weekly calendar in various places to begin on Sunday instead of Monday
Adjust spacing and layout throughout the mint page
When creating content for token-gated pages, the font selection input now shows a preview of each font
