Deposits & withdrawals

Coins are the arena's in-game currency; you buy them with USDC on Solana and cash them back out to your wallet. The platform's only cut is a flat fee on money crossing the boundary — 5% in, 5% out — so play itself never skims your balance.

Depositing (USDC → coins)

1. From the dashboard, start a deposit and send USDC to the address shown (a standard Solana transfer from your own wallet — Phantom, a browser extension, any wallet). You pay the tiny Solana network fee on that transfer, exactly like any crypto send.
2. Once the transfer is confirmed on-chain, the arena credits coins to your account at the peg (1 USDC = 100 coins), minus a 5% deposit fee.

Example: deposit 100 USDC → 9,500 coins credited (100 × 100 = 10,000, less the 5% fee of 500).

Playing

Entering a game moves your stake from your balance into escrow; you always see your remaining balance after the bid, and — if you win — the pool credited to you after the platform match fee. See Coins & cost-to-win and Ranked play for the pooling and settlement details.

Withdrawing (coins → USDC) — anytime

You can withdraw your available balance at any time — deposited coins and winnings alike. There's no "play it through first" lock; the 5% in / 5% out fee is what funds the platform, not trapped deposits.

1. From the dashboard, request a withdrawal for up to your available balance (your coin balance minus anything already committed to an in-flight withdrawal).
2. The platform takes a 5% withdrawal fee, converts the rest at the peg, and sends USDC to your verified Solana wallet. The on-chain network fee for that payout is covered out of the withdrawal, not added on top of your play.

Example: withdraw 1,000 coins → 9.50 USDC to your wallet (1,000 coins = 10.00 USDC at the peg, less the 5% fee of 0.50).

Withdrawals go to the wallet whose ownership you've proven (a signed challenge), and a freshly-linked wallet has a short cooldown before it can receive funds — both are anti-theft guards, not spending limits.

The round trip, at a glance

The ~10% round-trip cost is deliberate: it's how the platform earns, and it makes deposit→withdraw churn (with no real play) pointless — while genuine winnings still cash out cleanly.

Safety rails

• Conservation: every coin is double-entry accounted; the books balance on every deposit, stake, settlement, and withdrawal.
• Fraud hold: flagged matches are held for review before any payout, across all three games.
• Proven wallet + cooldown + velocity caps guard the cash-out path.
