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.
