Price Lock-In Mechanics

To keep the game fair and simple, everyone enters at the same price and finishes at the same price.

What we do

  • We use Alchemy as our price oracle.

  • We take one snapshot at game start (Mon 5:00 pm ET) and one snapshot at close (Fri 5:00 pm ET) via Alchemy API.

  • Those two snapshots define the start price and end price for every token in the game.

How it applies to your portfolio

  • During portfolio allocation you choose your allocation per coin.

  • At game start, each allocation is converted into a position quantity using the start price from the game start snapshot.

    • Example: allocate $30,000 to BTC. If the kickoff snapshot price is $120,000, your position becomes 0.25 BTC.

  • All week, leaderboards update off market moves, but no edits are allowed to participant lineups.

  • At game close, we value your quantities using the end price from the closing snapshot. This determines final standings and the winners!

A note on USDC

  • USDC is allowed up to 50% of your portfolio.

  • It’s priced by the snapshot at $1 flat.

Display vs. final result

  • Charts and PnL you see mid-week are real-time.

  • Final results always use the two official snapshots (kickoff and close). After the close snapshot, we run a short validation and send payouts.

What we record

For transparency, each snapshot stores:

  • Timestamp

  • Token prices returned by the oracle

  • A game snapshot ID we can reference in support
