How it works

Every mode predicts the direction of a HYPE candle. What differs is the candle, the timing, and what a wrong call costs you.

🎲 FFA

Predict the direction of the next 5-minute candle.

  • Pick a side - PUMP or DUMP - and stake USDC.
  • When the round goes live, your strike locks at the candle's open.
  • The candle closes. The oracle price at close decides the direction.
  • The winning side splits the pot in proportion to stake.
  • Claim your winnings whenever you like. They never expire.

⚔️ Duels

1v1 prediction deathmatch on the close of the current 1-minute candle.

  • Find a duel through matchmaking, or challenge a player directly.
  • Matchmaking stakes are 5 USDC. Direct challenges use custom stakes.
  • Once both players accept and pay, the duel waits for the next clean 1-minute candle open.
  • You have 15 seconds to predict where that candle closes.
  • Correct predictions advance. Wrong ones eliminate you, or lose a round in Bo3 and Bo5.
  • Play continues until one player is left standing.

Direct challenges can be set to Best of 3 or Best of 5. Challenge players from chat, their profile, or the duels page - including friends and your nemesis.

👑 Battle Royale

Up to 10 players (minimum 3), predicting the close of the current 1-minute candle over several rounds.

  • Create a lobby or join an open one, and pay the stake. Matchmaking is disabled at launch.
  • Once the lobby starts, the game waits for the next clean 1-minute candle open.
  • You have 15 seconds to predict each candle's close.
  • Correct predictions survive. Wrong ones are eliminated - stay to spectate the finish.
  • The last player standing takes the pot.

Refunds

Draw - In FFA, if the candle closes exactly where it opened, everyone is refunded. In Duels and Battle Royale, the round is replayed with no lives lost.

One-sided - If everyone predicted the same direction, there is no losing pool, so every stake is returned.

No fee is taken on a refunded round.

Fees

5% of the pot, taken before payout. Winners split the other 95%. The rate is set on-chain and locked per round, so it cannot change on a round already in play.

Minimum bet 1 USDC, no maximum.
