How the pit works
Any user opens their own pit — pick BTC, ETH or SOL, the player limit, the entry, the starting vault, and one to four rounds. You get a shareable link.
Send the pit link. Anyone with the link takes a seat in your room — everyone else plays a different pit on the same site.
Your entry joins the shared prize pool. Your vault is your trading bankroll for the round.
Pick a direction when you sit down, or trade once the round opens. The round opens at the asset's live price: UP pays $1 a share if it closes higher, DOWN if lower.
At the deadline the live price settles every position and players are ranked by vault value. In a royale the bottom half is cut and survivors carry their bankroll on.
Top finishers share the pool — 62.5% / 23.4% / 14.1%, or all of it in a duel. The players' vault money is shared by how each vault finished, so losses fund gains. Withdraw from the pit or your Positions page.
Rounds, vaults, elimination and the prize pool are server-side game state on Postgres, priced by the live BTC, ETH and SOL spot price (Coinbase, with Kraken as backup). Player funds are held in a non-custodial escrow program on Solana devnet — testnet USDC has no monetary value. If a game is never settled, recovery lets each player take their full seat back after the deadline.
