We Aim To Make The World A Better Place
Valvur is a result of 20+ years of experience and gaming and esports. We know the good things, that gaming can bring. But we are also aware of the bad effects, that can result from it. And we are committed to increase the positive effects, while minimising the risks and downsides. It's important now, than ever before. The rise of the technologies make people vulnerable to online threats.
Hi!
I'm Ignat Bobrovich, Founder of Valvur.
For many years, I'm looking for the ways to empower gaming levering the tech. I've been a victim of bullying and managed to improve my life with esports. That's why for over 10 years I'm working in esports and gaming, looking for the best ways to leverage the opportunities, that esports create.

#ALLGAMERSMATTER
First of all, esports and gaming provide unique opportunities to create equal opportunities to people. It doesn't matter what your gender, social background, skin of colour of economical situation - esports and gaming provide same opportunities to train and showcase abilities. In theory.
In practice, we still see huge gap, unfair treating and limited opportunities. Many organisations, that I was expecting to solve these issues are not doing anything tangible on this path. While there are other organisations, that are looking into this problematic, I see that often times the first group has resources, while the second can't get a proper access to them. I believe, that the situation will improve gradually, but in 2020 I've understood that it's important to act in own capacities. That's why I've launched the initiative #AllGamersMatter, aimed to promote equal opportunities in esports and gaming. Within this initiative, we have organised Afrika Esports Series - impactful event, focused on levering esports as the tool to provide educational opportunities. During COVID, we've organised a series of events, aimed to support affected communities. And we promote our vision on international scene, including events during WEF Week in Davos and many others.

#Play4Good
While gaming and esports provide great opportunities to spend time and socialise, such activities can lead to all sorts of the risks and issues - starting from addition and exposure to cyber risks, that can vary from small neglectable ones to predation, still of identity and beyond. While we aim to protect gamers, it's also important to ensure that gaming can bring positive effects. With our #Play4Good initiative we aim to cooperate with various stakeholders in promoting the educational, engagement and physical activity opportunities. We aim to educate stakeholders and engage partners to amplify these opportunities.
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)
Valvur is dedicated to advancing Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals by fostering a safer and more inclusive digital ecosystem. Our vision prioritises digital well-being and mental health, particularly for young gamers, promoting responsible technology use. We empower parents, educators, and policymakers with tools and insights to protect children from cyber threats and cultivate healthier online habits.
By integrating gamified education and ethical AI principles, we encourage positive online interactions, reduce toxicity, and bridge generational gaps in digital literacy. Our efforts align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, including Quality Education (SDG 4), Reduced Inequalities (SDG 10), and Partnerships for the Goals (SDG 17).

Why Valvur?
- Valvur is an advanced cybersecurity solution designed to protect young gamers from online threats like cyberbullying and identity theft. Using cutting-edge technology, including AI-driven tools and blockchain-based identity protection, Valvur ensures a safe and engaging gaming environment. With tools designed for parents and schools, we ensure that gaming becomes valuable experience, empowering educational and leisure activities.
- Valvur empowers parents, schools, governmental institutions and brands to safeguard younger generations while they learn, play, and grow online. Trusted, secure, and effective.
- Cyberbullying in online gaming is not just an individual issue—it often becomes a group problem, where players can gang up on others, leading to social exclusion and harassment. The anonymity of players in multiplayer environments allows cyberbullying to occur more easily, and these group dynamics can amplify the emotional damage for victims, making them feel isolated or targeted by multiple players simultaneously.
- We provide a solution by fostering positive team dynamics and offering structured environments where respect, teamwork, and sportsmanship are prioritized. Our vision is to help youth develop social skills and emotional regulation, which can combat the negative behaviors that often lead to cyberbullying.
- By creating a positive, competitive environment that encourages collaboration and accountability, esports can help mitigate the impact of cyberbullying while promoting personal growth and social inclusion.
- Gamers of any age can easily create a Gamer ID using secure blockchain-based identity system (currently in closed testing). This ensures their data is safe and interactions with other players are secure. With AI-driven protection, gamers can enjoy multiplayer gaming free from cyberbullying, while continuously monitored for harmful interactions. Additionally, the system offers educational content and rewards for personal growth and skill development.
- Parents and other guardians can create a secure profile for themselves and their child. Once signed up, they can use the dashboard to learn about cyberthreats, get access to AI assistant and setup the instruments to engage and learn about kids gaming activities.
- Schools and governmental institutions can integrate esports as the part of their activities, leveraging gaming as the tool to improve the education process and fight cyberbullying. Built-in cybersecurity and esports programs can help to quickly roll-out programs promoting online safety and positive social interactions. With dedicated dashboard, educators can track student progress and learn important knowledge about esports and gaming.
- Threat Detection & Prevention. AI analyses gaming interactions in real-time to identify and mitigate risks like cyberbullying, predation, fraud, and phishing before they escalate.
- Personalised Learning & Onboarding. Gamified AI-driven training educates gamers on cybersecurity best practices, ensuring safe behaviour while onboarding into gaming ecosystems.
- Risk Management & Alerts. Predictive AI models assess risk levels, providing customisable warnings and preventive measures to protect users based on their activity and preferences.
- Behavior Monitoring & Rewards. AI tracks behavior, enabling a reward system for positive engagement while flagging harmful activities to foster a safer gaming community.
- Data Privacy & Encryption. AI optimizes the use of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) to secure sensitive data, ensuring privacy and compliance with global standards like GDPR and COPPA.
- Parent-Child Engagement. AI facilitates communication between parents and kids, offering insights and guidance tailored to strengthen trust and digital safety.
- Soulbound Tokens (SBTs) for Identity Verification. Valvur utilises Soulbound Tokens, a type of non-transferable digital asset, to establish unique, verifiable identities for gamers. This ensures that each player has a distinct and authenticated presence within the gaming environment, reducing anonymity-related issues and fostering accountability.
- Immutable Record-Keeping. By recording transactions and interactions on a blockchain, Valvur maintains an immutable ledger of activities. This transparency allows for accurate tracking of in-game assets and behaviors, ensuring that all actions are permanently and securely documented.
- Enhanced Data Security. Blockchain's decentralised nature provides robust protection against data tampering and unauthorised access. This ensures that sensitive information, such as personal data and in-game transactions, remains secure and unaltered.
- Trust-Building Among Stakeholders. The transparency and security offered by blockchain technology help build trust among gamers, parents, and developers. All parties can be confident in the integrity of the gaming environment and the authenticity of user identities.
- Future-Proof Data Security. By employing PQC algorithms, Valvur safeguards sensitive information against potential threats from quantum computers, which could compromise traditional encryption methods. This ensures long-term protection of user data.
- Secure User Data and Communications. PQC Encryption secures personal data, in-game transactions, and communications between gamers, parents, and developers. This prevents unauthorized access, data breaches, and ensures the confidentiality and integrity of information across the platform.
- Protecting Digital Identities. Valvur uses PQC Encryption to secure the Soulbound Tokens (SBTs) that establish unique digital identities for gamers. This adds an extra layer of protection against identity theft and unauthorised account access.
- Enhanced Trust Among Stakeholders. By prioritising cutting-edge encryption, Valvur builds trust with gamers, parents, and developers. Stakeholders can be confident that their data is protected against both current and future cyber threats.
- Securing AI Operations. PQC Encryption secures the AI-driven features of the platform, such as threat detection and personalised learning, ensuring that the AI systems operate safely without exposing sensitive data.
