Solana
Vaults, escrows and payouts live on Solana, and Solana is the main trading chain.
Settlement chain
Every balance on bandforband.fun is USDC held by the wagers program on Solana: your vault, the escrow of each contest and tournament, the treasury and the rewards pool. Joining, settling, refunding, buying in the shop, tipping and withdrawing are all Solana transactions. The platform pays the network fee of every transaction except your own deposits. See Security & control.
Trading on Solana
For Solana contests, link the wallet you trade from in Profile → Connections. Every swap that wallet makes during the trading window counts, wherever you make it: Jupiter, Raydium, Pump.fun, Photon, Axiom, a Telegram bot, anything that trades on-chain from that wallet.
How a Solana trade is read:
- The wallet's transactions in the window are fetched from a mainnet RPC with full transaction history (Alchemy in production).
- Each transaction is reduced to what the wallet actually spent and received, so the DEX or aggregator used does not matter.
- Prices come from Pyth for SOL and the stablecoins, and from Jupiter for other tokens.
- Bags still held at the bell are valued at a real Jupiter sell quote, price impact included.
The anti-cheat rules (minimum liquidity, token age, holders) are listed in Anti-cheat.
