Player count and duration set the stake. The round starts the moment the lobby is full — or, once two thirds of the seats are taken, a 1-minute timer starts it (5 minutes for the long day- and week-long rounds).
Everyone starts with identical capital. At the close, return decides the ranking and the pot is split by place.
A contest is only worth as much as its settlement. So here is how it works.
Every participant in a round gets the same trading capital. Being here longer or holding more chips is no head start.
Settlement uses the price that applied at the end of the round, not whatever price happens to show when someone opens the page later. Open positions are closed at that same moment.
The stake leaves your balance when the round starts and sits in a separate account until settlement. Every entry has counter-entries that sum to zero, and it is checked continuously.
If no price exists for the moment the round ends, for example because the data feed dropped, the round is voided and all stakes are returned in full.
Trading as a sport, with real stakes on the horizon. Here is where RingSide is headed — said plainly, without the hype.
Real competition earns Points — for playing often and for winning. Points are a reward balance, not a coin.
When real-money rounds open, you play in USDC from your own wallet. RingSide never holds your funds — we only take a small rake on each pot.
The plan: at a later token launch, Points feed into the RingSide token. Whether and how is a reviewed decision.
A share of protocol fees goes into buybacks, and the long-term goal is our own Layer 1 the token can migrate to. A roadmap we are building toward.
RS Points are a reward balance, not a financial instrument. Nothing here is an offer, investment advice, or a promise of returns. Real-money play, token issuance, and any future Layer 1 depend on regulatory review and are not available everywhere.
