Everything the interface does not put in your way, written down once and verifiable against the contracts.

The duel

You open a table with your stake. The first player to sit down locks it, and the draw runs immediately — one against one, winner takes both stakes. Your chance is exactly your share of the table: equal stakes are a clean 50/50, a bigger stake is favored in exact proportion. Nothing else changes those odds.

Stakes are deliberately not matched. A $5 entry can challenge a $1,000 table: it wins one time in two hundred and takes the lot when it does. Both strategies at that table are legitimate — the small player hunting the story, the big player farming small wins — and the math treats them identically.

A table nobody answers within ten minutes is not a game, so it refunds in full and takes nothing.

What can go in

Anything in your wallet with a real market: the pot weighs every entry in dollars, so an asset needs a live price backed by actual liquidity. Tokens whose only "price" is a number their deployer invented stay locked in the tray — a fantasy quote would let someone buy pot share with worthless paper. NFTs show in your inventory today and become stakeable when the appraisal oracle ships with NFT duels.

The draw

The winner comes from Chainlink VRF on mainnet: randomness is requested the moment the table locks, with both stakes already frozen. The reel you watch is an animation played over that result. It gives the smaller player a visible presence so the strip reads as a real fight, which is why the exact percentage is printed next to it: that number is the truth, the strip is the show.

What the house takes

A rake of 4% comes out of the money that changes hands — the loser's stake, never the winner's own returned stake — split 2.5% to the protocol and 1.5% to the $LOSE reserve. This is what keeps unequal tables honest: winning a $5 duel with a $1,000 stake nets you a profit, not a fee bill. There is no cut on refunds, no subscription, no spread hidden in the odds, and no other way this makes money.

$LOSE

The loser of every duel mines $LOSE against what they lost: 10 per dollar in the first epoch, halving every 100M minted, hard capped at 1,000,000,000. It cannot be bought from us and was never pre-minted. The reserve gives it a floor any holder can redeem against at any time, and the cost of mining one sets a natural ceiling. Both move with volume.

The contracts

No owner, no pause, no upgrade path. Once deployed, the rules above cannot be changed by us or by anyone. Addresses and a per-round verification guide land here at launch.

Risk

This is gambling with a house rake, which makes it negative expected value over time. The token is a consolation prize, not a return, and its price is guaranteed by nobody. Play with money you can lose and stop when it stops being fun.
