[Próspera @ProsperaGlobal]

The largest chess tournament in Central American history is launching as part of Próspera, in partnership with @FIDE_chess

Total prize pool: 2 ₿TC

We're looking forward to welcoming the world's top 20 chess players @HansMokeNiemann, @chessleinier, and more!

I'm organising the biggest chess tournament in Central America on Bitcoin ₿

So when you build a city, you have to think about things like how to bring people here.

@ProsperaGlobal has an incredible regulatory framework, but people usually choose a place based on convenience. And there is only one thing that beats convenience: excitement 💥 .

Excitement is different for everyone. For me, it’s chess. That’s why I want to make this city a space where the best chess players in the world want to come.

That’s why I’m launching the BTC CHESS960 CHAMPIONSHIP(https://t.co/sNezED9Hc2) with the help of @infinitacity. And to make it truly intense, we’re doing it in Chess960, the format where theory gives no advantage - only your skills, understanding, and speed of thinking matter.

We’re creating the first major chess tournament in the Caribbean and the largest prize pool in Central America ever - 2 BTC.

Mark the location on your Google Maps. Prospera is about to become one of the biggest chess destinations in the world. Even for the first tournament, we already have 9 Grandmasters joining including Leinier Domínguez, Niemann Hans and many more players are signing up.

Here’s what makes it truly unique:
🔹 King of the Hill – 24/7 Bullet
This is an arena where you sit at the table, and as long as you hold your spot, you earn 21 SATS / per second ($1 per minute). It doesn’t matter if you’re playing or sleeping on the throne. This tests focus, endurance, opportunism and nerves.

🔹 Chess960
We’re using the Chess960 format, created by Bobby Fischer.
Pieces on the first rank are arranged randomly, so opening theory doesn’t help.
Only your understanding of the position, flexibility, and speed of thinking matters.

If you want to see the best games and most unpredictable battles, come to Prospera.

Come visit and you'll play with the best chess GMs in the world!!!

1 yr ago, I rescinded my US O1 visa, left my startup, and moved down to Próspera to build a city from scratch.

It’s a zone with very special laws, regulations, and taxes.

It has raised almost $200M, incl from Coinbase, Peter Thiel, and created 3000+ local jobs

Delawere is amazing, way better than anything in Europe, but Prospera manage to beat it. It's simpler, faster, and cheaper. The easiest company setup I’ve done so far.

[Ivan Syrtsov @syrtsov_ivan]

I guess you can call it a hobby…
I’ve opened companies all over the world — Ukraine, Germany, Portugal, Delaware, and Próspera.

From experience, common law frameworks are the fastest to set up.
Here’s my quick comparison of the top 2 for me so far: Delaware vs. Próspera 🧵

[Ivan Syrtsov @syrtsov_ivan]

@Prosperahn
$300 to open a company (+$100 if you want a registered agent, or just be your own).
Everything’s in one portal — register, file, pay, even your insurance.

Effective taxes:
•⁠ ⁠Business income: 1%
•⁠ ⁠VAT: 2.5%
•⁠ ⁠$0 on dividends, cap gains, imports, or excise
•⁠ ⁠Closing: $25, file online — that’s it.

Banking? Easy. I opened mine with @Onesafeio — took one week and it was ready to go. Filing took 30 min.

You also get regulatory freedom — most of the compliance you’d handle in the US is just covered by insurance here.
+ 0% customs from anywhere in the world.
