How to Play
Read the chart. Time your trades. Outlast everyone. A 75-second skill arena on a live, volatile market.
1 The Goal
Each round lasts 75 seconds. You start with $1,000. Go LONG (betting price up) or SHORT (betting price down), ride the move, and CLOSE at the right moment to bank the profit.
The price chart pumps, dumps and rugs in real time. The player with the highest balance when the timer hits zero wins.

3 Leverage = your multiplier
When you open a position, half your balance is staked as margin. Leverage multiplies how much the price move affects you:
# 5x LONG, price moves
price +2% × 5x = +10% on your margin
price −2% × 5x = −10% on your margin
Higher leverage = bigger wins and bigger losses. The game always shows the live math:
LONG 5x · price +2.00% × 5x = +10% · 20% against → 💀
4 Liquidation 💀
If the price moves against you by 1 ÷ leverage, your margin is wiped — you get LIQUIDATED and lose that stake.
| Leverage | Move against you to blow up |
|---|
| 2x | −50% |
| 5x | −20% |
| 10x | −10% |
Lower leverage survives bigger swings. Higher leverage pays faster but dies easier.
5 Market events
- 🚀 PUMP — sudden spike up. Great if you're LONG.
- 📉 DUMP — sudden drop. Great if you're SHORT.
- 💀 RUG — violent crash. Wrecks leveraged LONGs instantly. Watch out.
Use 🔮 INSIDER once per round to peek at the trend direction (↗ / ↘) for 3 seconds and time your entry.
6 Two modes
🎮 FREE PLAY — free, for fun and practice. Your score goes to the global leaderboard and earns XP. No chips at risk.
🏆 TOURNAMENT — pay an ante (chips) to join the live pool. Everyone's ante builds the pot. When the pool closes, the top 3 balances split the pot (house takes a 10% rake). Highest balance = biggest cut.
# Example pool: 4 players × 100 ante = 400 pot
rake 10% → net 360 · 1st +180 · 2nd +108 · 3rd +72

8 Strategy tips
- Lock in profit before the trend flips — greed gets liquidated.
- Going flat (no position) is a valid move when the market is choppy.
- Use low leverage (2x) to survive volatility, high (10x) only when you're confident.
- You decide your bet size (25/50/100%). Going 100% all-in can win big but one liquidation ends your run — size down to stay alive.
- Save INSIDER for a key decision, not the first 5 seconds.
- A RUG can erase a 10x LONG instantly — respect the downside.
⚠️ Note: Chips are a free paper test right now — no real money involved. Real-SOL tournaments will come later (on devnet first, then mainnet with proper setup). Play, have fun, climb the ranks.
