prizes

The pool is every entry fee paid into that run, plus any sponsor contribution. The platform takes nothing, so the pool is simply the entry fee multiplied by the number of entrants.

This means a pool grows as the field fills, and a free roll sits at $0 unless it is sponsored. An unentered pool is shown as — rather than $0.00, because a hard zero reads as broken when it is really just early.

The top 5 places are paid, on this split:

Slices are calculated in whole USDC units and always round down, so the total paid can never exceed the pool. Any remainder from rounding stays unallocated rather than overdrawing the last place.

Placing in a paid rank is necessary but not sufficient. A place is blocked from collecting for any of three reasons:

• ·Busted. You hit the drawdown floor during the run.
• ·Under the trade minimum. You placed fewer trades than the format requires.
• ·No payout wallet. You have not told us where to send the money.

These are checked independently rather than in sequence, so a scoreboard shows every reason that applies to you at once instead of only the first one — fixing one problem should not reveal a second you were never told about.

When a paid place cannot collect, that money is not redistributed to the other winners. It is held as unclaimed.

Quietly promoting everyone up a place would pay out against finishing positions nobody earned, and would change the advertised prize structure after the results were already known. The money is still owed to whoever finished there.

Prizes are USDC transfers on Solana, sent to the payout wallet on your profile. A payout is only recorded as paid after the transfer has been verified on-chain against the amount your rank was owed — the record follows the money, never the intent to send it.

Keep your payout wallet separate in your mind from whatever wallet you paid the entry fee with; they do not have to be the same address. See payments.
