Trading, settlement, funds and rewards, with what is live right now made clear.

CONTRACTSNot deployed
INDEPENDENT AUDITNot completed

The terminal runs in Demo until launch. Real money, funded accounts and referrals open with the contracts.

01

How a trade works

A fixed-time trade asks whether a market will close strictly above or below its entry price. Choose a market, duration and stake. The return is fixed the moment the trade is accepted.

  • UP wins when the closing price is strictly higher than entry. DOWN wins when it is strictly lower.
  • A win returns the stake plus the quoted profit. A loss forfeits the stake.
  • The trade is accepted the moment you tap. Its entry is the first oracle price published two seconds after your trade lands on-chain, so nobody can bet on a price they have already seen. The row shows "locking…" until that price arrives.
  • Cash out early: a winning trade of 1 minute or longer can close before expiry. It pays what a win pays, times the chance it would still win from here, less a 10% fee: far ahead near expiry pays close to the full win less the fee, barely ahead with lots of time left pays about half of it. Real cash-outs are decided on the oracle price two seconds after you ask; if the trade isn't winning there, the request lapses and the trade runs on. Cash-out closes about 12 seconds before expiry, and isn't offered on pre-IPO markets or funded accounts.
02

Markets and payouts

Volume tiers add to the base return, up to +90% at Diamond on the current +78% base. The operator can set the base for new trades between +55% and +99%; a change never reprices an accepted trade.

Every market pays the same +78% base on a win, except the 15-second expiry, which pays 14 points less (+64% at Bronze): the shortest trades are the closest to pure noise. Stock and forex markets can only be traded while they are open, and only with expiries that end before they close: a closed market publishes no closing price.

A market lights up once its Pyth oracle feed is connected for settlement. Markets still waiting show as "oracle not connected yet" and can't be traded, even in Demo.

At a hypothetical 50% win probability, a +78% profit quote implies an 11% expected house edge per stake. This is not a forecast of anyone’s results.

Durations: 1m, 3m, 5m, 10m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h, 8h and 12h for real money; 15s and 30s run in Demo and open for real money once short-expiry results look healthy.

03

Ties

An exact tie is a loss for both UP and DOWN. The stake is not refunded. The direction must be strictly correct at the close.

04

Prices and settlement

Entry and settlement both use signed Pyth prices, verified by the contract. The entry is the first Pyth price published at least two seconds after the block that accepted your trade; the close is the first published at or after expiry. Neither can be chosen by you, the keeper or anyone else. Your trade also carries the payout you were quoted as a floor: if the payout drops while it is on its way in, it doesn't fill.

A keeper normally posts both prices within seconds of expiry, but anyone can submit a valid settlement, and Pyth keeps its history, so a late settlement uses the same prices.

If no valid settlement can be posted within a day of expiry, the trade can be refunded in full. Pyth and Robinhood Chain availability remain dependencies.

05

Deposits and withdrawals

  • USDG is credited one for one to the dollar trading balance.
  • ETH deposits swap through the Uniswap V4 ETH/USDG pool on Robinhood Chain, with a maximum 1% slippage check.
  • Idle trader balances are kept separate from the bankroll. Only the owning wallet can withdraw them, and a pause on new bets doesn’t block it.
06

Bet limits

Launch limits apply to real-money bets. A bet must also fit within the bankroll’s available payout reserves. The minimum stake is $1.

ExpiryMaximum stake
15s, 30sClosed at launch
1m$25
3m, 5m, 10m, 15m$50
30m, 1h, 4h, 8h, 12h$100
  • Demo trades have no stake limits beyond your demo balance.
  • Each open stake, and the win it could pay, is reserved the moment the trade opens.
07

The vault

The vault keeps trader balances, open-bet escrow, house bankroll and claimable earnings apart. The Vault page reads each amount straight from the contract.

  • Trader balances belong to their wallets.
  • Open bets reserve the stake and the potential payout until settlement.
  • Uncommitted house capital belongs to the bankroll, subject to amounts owed to depositors.
  • The operator can pause new bets and change future base returns within the stated range. It cannot reprice open bets or withdraw trader balances.
08

Earning from the bankroll

These are profit-funded rates, not guaranteed yields. Deposits below $10,000 earn no yield.

Minimum depositAnnual rate
$10,00010%
$20,00015%
$50,00020%
  • Principal backs bets and can lose value.
  • If period profit falls short, depositors receive a proportional share of what is available; the shortfall is not carried forward.
  • You take principal out at par from bankroll that is free. While open bets hold part of it, you can take what is free now and the rest once they settle; only a bankroll short even counting those bets pays out at a pro-rata haircut, which you must accept explicitly.
09

$STRIKE

The token has not launched. It pairs with ETH on Uniswap V4, with a 1% buy/sell tax directed to the bankroll.

Every $100 of house profit is split: half buys back and burns $STRIKE, half goes to the bankroll.

Staking adds 0.25 percentage points to referral rates. Unstaking takes seven days.

Rewards

Volume counts the stake of every opened trade and never resets. The return boost is built into the contracts and locked into each trade when it opens.

Beta points

Points are computed from on-chain totals: your lifetime real volume, the volume of the traders you referred, and the challenge fees you paid. Anyone can recompute them from the contracts.

Demo and funded-account trades don’t earn points: they cost nothing, so they would be free to farm. Points record your part in the beta; nothing about their future use is promised.

The weekly tournament ranks wallets by real betting volume from Monday 00:00 to Sunday 23:59 UTC, win or lose. The top places win USDG prizes, paid on-chain to the winning wallets after the week closes, where anyone can check them.

Referrals

A referred trader must link before their first trade, and the link is permanent. Betting volume counts whether the trader wins or loses.

Referral earnings are paid from house profit before the profit split, so they can wait during a losing stretch. When profit has funded only part of all referral earnings, every referrer can claim the same fraction of theirs, so nobody can claim ahead of the rest.

Funded accounts

Challenge sizes are $5k, $10k, $25k and $50k, with one-time fees of $49, $99, $199 and $349.

Challenge and funded balances are virtual; challenge fees and eligible payouts are real money. Funded accounts open at launch.

  • Pass at +8% over at least three trading days. A day counts once it has a trade of at least 0.1% of the account, and a challenge passes only with no trades open.
  • Maximum overall loss: 8% of the starting balance. Daily loss limit: 4% from the UTC day’s opening balance.
  • Maximum stake: 1% of the account size. Minimum expiry: one minute.
  • Profit split: 80%, claimable every seven days with a $50 minimum, subject to the payout pool.
  • Challenge fees fund a separate payout pool. If it is short, earned payouts wait for new fees. The operator can’t withdraw what funded traders have earned.
  • A wallet can run two challenges or funded accounts at once; close one from the Funded page to start another.
  • Open trades can never risk more than the room left before a loss limit, and every account keeps the rules it was bought under, whatever changes later.
  • Consistency: no single UTC day may make more than half of a payout cycle’s profit. Keep trading steadily and the payout unlocks.

Demo, Real and Funded

The switch in the header picks the mode. Demo trades $10,000 of practice credits on the same live prices, and nothing in it is real money. It lives in this browser. Tap + next to Demo credits to top back up to $10,000 at any time, or reset it from Portfolio.

Real trades your vault balance under the bet limits above. Funded trades a challenge or funded account you bought. Real-money trading opens at launch.

15

Risks

  • A losing fixed-time trade loses its entire stake. Fast expiries mean decisions and outcomes arrive quickly.
  • The contracts are covered by an automated test suite but have not been audited by a third party. Contract defects can cause losses.
  • Your entry is the first oracle price after your trade lands, so it can differ slightly from the price on screen when you tapped.
  • Real settlement depends on Pyth and Robinhood Chain being available.
  • ETH conversions may incur slippage within the stated limit.
  • Bankroll principal can fall, and yields depend on house profit.
  • Funded payouts depend on a separately funded payout pool.
  • Check whether binary-options trading is permitted where you live before trading real money.
