Cheater — Out. Skill — In.

The gaming industry stands on trust. When a player enters a match, they must be confident their opponent is human and that victory depends on skill, not cheats. And while in ordinary free-to-play games this affects enjoyment, in skill-to-earn it affects money. And the market as a whole.

  • MANAVA doesn’t just add anti-cheat. We are building an ecosystem where player protection and system transparency are the foundation of the entire economy. Below is a detailed analysis of why this is critical/

    How the Industry Pays for Vulnerability

    In 2023, more than 30% of active PvP players admitted to using third-party software at least once. In Fortnite, Apex Legends, CS:GO, PUBG, and Valorant, waves of bans ranging from 100,000 to 1 million accounts occur monthly. But the damage isn’t just reputational.

    Examples:

    • CS:GO (2021–2023): massive use of spinbot and wallhack in matchmaking, loss of trust, sharp decline in active competitive players.
    • Call of Duty: Warzone: over 800,000 accounts banned for cheats in the first 18 months after release. Player retention dropped by 37%.
    • PUBG Mobile (China & India): fake matches and multi-accounts led to mass investigations and bans. In-game transaction revenue fell 25% in a single quarter.

    Valorant: emulator abuse in mobile tournaments caused annulled results and reduced trust in the format.

    Why Traditional Anti-Cheats Fail

    Most anti-cheat systems operate at the file or process level. They can be bypassed:

    • via emulators
    • via macros and scripts
    • via memory injections
    • via multi-accounts and IP spoofing

    They require constant updates, heavy security team involvement, and often compromise user privacy.

  • How Protection Works in MANAVA

     (in Partnership with Anybrain)

    We use behavioral biometrics and behavioral analysis to detect anomalies in player actions — not files on their device.

    We detect and prevent:

    • Bots
    • Scripts & macros
    • Emulators
    • Multi-accounts
    • Self-kills (to farm rewards)
    • Aim-bots & cheats
    • Fake match farming
    • Client data manipulation (speedhack, damage hacks)
    • VPN/Proxy circumvention
    • Boosting (rank inflation by another player)
    • TOS violations
    • Suspicious behavior (unrealistic stats, accuracy, reaction)

    Abnormal sessions (sudden jumps in skill and playstyle).

    Anybrain Technology: No Device Access, No Intrusion

    Anybrain is one of the leaders in AI anti-cheat, backed by Epic Games and EU venture funds. Together we implement:

    • analysis of pace, timing, and behavioral deviations
    • profiling through behavioral fingerprinting
    • payout blocking under suspicion until investigation is complete

    An Economy Without Trust — Collapses

    If players lose faith in fair matches, they:

    • stop joining tournaments
    • refuse to pay entry fees
    • stop recommending the game
    • perceive the economy as a risk

    That means declining activity, money outflow, and economic breakdown.

  • Why This Is Critical for MANAVA

    In MANAVA, every match is a financial event. Here, gameplay is contribution and victory is income. So any distortion doesn’t just cause frustration — it causes direct financial damage to the platform and participants.

    We’re not building a game. We’re building an economy. And that means we cannot allow a single compromise in protection.

    Conclusion: Protection Is the Framework

    MANAVA implements a system where anti-fraud and anti-cheat are not add-ons, but part of the architecture. We believe a fair economy is only possible under equal conditions.

    If you want to play knowing your match is your chance — and no one can overwrite the result — welcome.
