How entry escrow, fees and claims work

Miteos currently supports free competition and explicitly labeled Base Sepolia funding verification. Mainnet and card payments are disabled. Test USDC is not real revenue or a real prize.

The existing escrow binds a specific entry to participants, token, stake, fee, configuration commitments and deadlines. A server-signed admission ticket is required before funding; a browser cannot bypass the reservation guard by calling the contract directly.

A signed result is registered on-chain before recipients claim. The contract checks authorized settlement; it does not independently run the AI. A decisive result earns the frozen platform fee. Draws and valid refunds return entries with no fee, while network gas remains separate.

If no result is registered in time, the original on-chain timeout provides a backend-independent refund route. An off-chain receipt alone cannot defeat it. Claims still depend on the chain and token functioning; support cannot arbitrarily redirect funds.
