Systems we've built, described plainly.
Building gaming infrastructure and services on Chia.
Delivery for partners and our own platforms.
Latest · Chia Cultivation Grant · P2P gaming
Arcade21
A peer-to-peer gaming platform on the Chia blockchain: real games, real stakes, no house. Players wager XCH head-to-head with on-chain settlement and zero rake, now live in closed beta at arcade21games.com.
The challenge
Real-money games without an operator in the middle: no custodian holding funds, no house taking a cut. Fairness, settlement, and dispute resolution have to come from the protocol itself.
Our approach
Arcade21 builds the consumer platform (lobby, matchmaking, game rooms, leaderboards, and game UIs) on Chia's open-source state-channel gaming protocol, with Chialisp smart coins securing every wager peer-to-peer.
The grant
Arcade21 by KOBA42 is a Chia Cultivation Grant recipient, building gaming infrastructure and services on Chia: smart coins, state channels, wallet flows, and trust-minimized product architecture.

Applied AIApplied AI · Vertical SaaS · Live
Frog & Thread
AI quilting software that turns any photo or sketch into a sewable, print-ready quilt stencil: true quarter-inch seam allowances, numbered piecing sections, and tiled templates that print at exactly the right size. Designed in the browser, printed at home, live at frogandthread.com.
The challenge
Generic AI image tools make pretty quilt pictures that cannot actually be sewn, and traditional quilt-design software is expensive, desktop-only, and hard to learn. Quilters needed construction-accurate patterns, not art.
Our approach
Frog & Thread generates construction-accurate line work: closed piecing sections, preserved cutting labels, geometry measured in inches, and multi-page tiled PDFs with registration marks that align when printed at home. No install, any Mac or PC.
Applied AI · Consumer app · Voice
HaRaaS
A consumer AI app that turns a description of a friend into a performed comedy roast. Describe them, pick the intensity, and two AI comedians deliver the roast as shareable audio. Built for friends who are in on the joke, live on the web and iOS at haraas.koba42.com.
The challenge
Text-to-speech reads words, it does not perform. Making AI genuinely funny, with comic timing, distinct personas, and a back-and-forth between two comedians, is a harder problem than generating a paragraph, and doing it responsibly means keeping it consensual and good-natured.
Our approach
HaRaaS pairs a comedy-writing model with a two-voice performance pipeline: a scripted bit between two AI comedians, an intensity dial from mild to savage, and voice synthesis tuned for delivery, packaged as audio you can send. Shipped as a native iOS app and on the web.
Consumer AIBlockchain · Real-time comms
TangTalk
A multichain blockchain messaging protocol with P2P encrypted calls, NFT-based phone numbers, and a custom SFU media server. Launched with a monetized NFT identity model and early community traction.
The challenge
Build a decentralized communications platform that works across multiple blockchains, handles real-time voice/video, and monetizes through NFT-based identity, all without centralized infrastructure.
Our approach
Custom relay infrastructure, WebRTC-based P2P calls, an NFT minting pipeline with on-chain identity verification, and a desktop client built on Tauri.
Multichain
ProceduralBlockchain · Gaming · Genetics engine
Dracattus
A genetics-based NFT trading card game on the Chia blockchain. Each creature has procedurally generated DNA that drives traits, stats, and breeding outcomes, creating genuinely unique NFTs.
The challenge
Create an NFT collection where every token is genuinely unique, not just a shuffled trait system, with real game mechanics, breeding, battling, and a sustainable ecosystem.
Our approach
Custom genetics engine with dominant/recessive trait inheritance, procedural image generation, on-chain breeding contracts, and a full battle system with PeerJS multiplayer.
Industrial IoT · Real-time analytics
MMAAZZ / Masitek
Industrial IoT analytics platform that interfaces with smart bottle sensors, providing beverage companies with real-time supply chain intelligence. BLE beacon integration, push notifications, and multi-device monitoring for distributed sensor deployments.
