THE DETAILS
From joining to payout
  1. Join: pick a side and an amount
    Until the lock you can leave and get it all back, free
  2. Lock: teams are final
    You see exactly how much of your bet races; anything that can't race goes straight back to your wallet
  3. 60 seconds: three start lights count down
    At green, the start prices are taken
  4. The race: 2 hours (stocks and coins) or 24 hours (coins)
    The side that's ahead wins money from the other side, the whole time
  5. Finish: your money is sent straight to your wallet within minutes

Stock races only run while the US market is open (Mon–Fri, 9:30–16:00 New York time)

Coin races run all day, every day

Speed: when money moves and how fast

Both sides start at 0%: only the growth after the start counts, so a $80,000 coin and a $2,500 coin race on equal terms

The lead is how far one side is ahead, in percent:

  • Lead under 0.10%: too close to call, no money moves
  • Between the two: money starts to flow, faster as the lead grows
  • Lead over 0.30%: full speed; a side at full speed the whole race would win all the money that races
You put $20 on ETH, someone puts $20 on BTC, a 2-hour race
At full speed $20 moves across in 2 hours: $5 every half hour
BTC leads for the first half hour and ETH for the last 90 minutes, both at full speed: BTC's side collects $5 and yours $15
You end up $10 ahead

Money you've won stays yours; it only flows back while the other side leads

Only matched money races

Each side races the same amount: as much as the smaller team has

On the bigger team, everyone's bet is scaled down by the same share; the rest comes back at the lock, untouched

At the lock $100 is on NVDA and $50 on TSLA, every bet included, so $50 races on each side
If $20 of the TSLA money is yours, all $20 races (that's the BONUS · FULL BET PLAYS badge)
If $20 of the NVDA money is yours, $10 races; the other $10 is back in your wallet at the lock
Winning, losing and ties
  • You win what flowed to your side, in proportion to your bet, plus your stake back
  • The most you can lose is the part of your bet that raced, never more
  • Too close the whole race: if the lead never gets past the point where money moves, it's dead even; everyone gets everything back, no fee
  • Nobody on one side at the lock: the race is cancelled and every bet comes back
Fee

10% of what the winning side gains

No fee on your stake, on money that didn't race, or on cancelled or dead-even races

Private races also cost whoever creates one $0.25, kept even if the race is off

$20 against $20, and you win $10: the fee is $1, and $29 is sent to your wallet
Where the prices come from

Nobody decides the result, including us

The race contract reads each asset's price from its trading pool on Base, as a 5-minute average, at fixed checkpoints: every 5 minutes in 2-hour races, every 15 minutes in 24-hour races

The start price is a 1-minute average, taken in the minute between the lock and the start

Every checkpoint is stored on-chain, so anyone can check the result

The live screen shows the current price, so its “so far” number is an estimate; the final result comes only from the checkpoints

Before you play

  • This is a test with test USDC: no real money is at stake
  • Tokenized stocks can be paused by their issuer
  • Payouts only ever go to the wallet that placed the bet
