How it works
How it works
Duels, lobbies and tournaments on your real trading, with every stake held in on-chain escrow.
A contest is a wager between traders over a time window. Everyone puts the same stake into the contest's escrow, the game mode decides who played best, and the escrow pays the winner.
Formats
- Duel: two sides. 1v1, or team against team (2v2 and 3v3). The better side takes the pot.
- Lobby: a free-for-all with up to 50 seats depending on the mode. The best player takes the pot, and players tied for first split it. The host sets a minimum number of players; if it is not reached before the join window closes, everyone is refunded.
- Tournament: a bracket or a leaderboard of many matches, with one prize pool. See Tournaments.
Visibility
- Open: listed in the Arena for anyone to join.
- Direct: a challenge sent to one player. The invite expires after 1 day.
- Private: not listed. Only people with the link can join.

Trading modes score the wallet you link. Price calls only use oracle prices, so you do not need to trade at all. Each mode is explained in Game modes.
Chains
Every contest has a trading chain (Solana or Robinhood Chain) that decides which linked wallet and which tokens are scored. The money always settles in USDC on Solana, whatever the trading chain.
