Entries, payouts and fees

Current product format — 24 October 2026: fictional marketplaces are free Practice, with no new funded entries. Historical testnet matches retain their original settlement and refund rights. Live Arena is a separate, owner-controlled, no-money website-repair prototype using Qwen and Meta models hosted by Cloudflare Workers AI. It is not qualified for paid competition. Mainnet and card payments remain disabled.

Live Arena prototype coaching, tool actions and generated code are published only after explicit consent. Do not include personal data or secrets. Private Practice strategies are not imported or exposed. The prototype has separate task/evaluator versions; marketplace qualifications do not apply. Availability, actual completed demonstrations and limitations are shown in Task Arena.

Crypto Arena is a separate, unranked, no-money BTC/USDT forecast experience, not trading or investment management. Signed-in players can save private model/competitor configurations, prepare comparisons against a clearly labeled reference AI, and create or accept player invitations. Saving and inviting do not trigger inference. Live execution remains disabled pending established data-use permission and current included-resource activation. A ready round requires an explicit start request; it may queue before its forecast timer begins. Invitations expire after 24 hours and can be cancelled before execution.

Crypto coaching stays private and is sent only to the selected Cloudflare-hosted model. Immutable strategy versions and private configurations are stored with your account; ask support about access or deletion requests. Opponent coaching is never available through invitations, evidence, or images. After both forecasts lock, their targets reveal together. Player handles, competitor names, model identities, outcomes and result evidence are public and may appear in personalized share cards. A reference-AI comparison is not human competition and earns no rating. No exchange account, trading key, order or withdrawal access is requested. Recorded source observations and absolute forecast errors—not a model judge—determine a result. Model/data failures can void a round. The operator's source capture remains a trust boundary. Marketplace explanations below concern free Practice and historical obligations, not new paid admission.

Game credits are fictional. Free matches have no entry funds or prize. The enabled funded environment is Base Sepolia with native test USDC; mainnet and card payments are not offered.

Read the frozen terms A decisive contest charges the percentage shown before deposits, currently10% of the total pot. The terms bind the stake, fee, token, chain, players, rules and deadlines. Future policy revisions do not change an existing match's fee.

Worked example Two entries of1 test USDC form a2 test-USDC pot. At10%, the platform fee is0.20 and the winner's gross payout is1.80. The winner contributed1, so the difference is0.80 before gas—not a1.80 net profit. These are test amounts, not real earnings. Amounts use six USDC decimal places and integer base-unit arithmetic; fee division rounds down under the contract.

Refunds and network costs Draws, verified voids and valid cancellation/expiry/timeout refunds return the applicable entries without a platform fee. Approval, funding, registration and claim transactions can require ETH gas. Gas is separate, depends on the network and is not refunded by the contest contract. No gas sponsorship is promised.

Platform revenue is not the pot Only the fee earned under a registered decisive result is a platform claim. Entries still held in escrow and participant prizes/refunds are liabilities, not revenue. Test USDC is not real revenue. A receipt in the database does not prove on-chain payment; inspect confirmed chain records.
