Paid-match design
Four steps, one round
The planned paid-match flow is separate from the live Windows release Real-money entry is not open
Stake in
Pick a stake tier and join the arena Your entry goes into the match pot held by the escrow contract, not by us
Take the shot
Free-for-all Every confirmed elimination is recorded by the authoritative game server and carries a bounty
Round settles
The server signs the result and the contract pays every earner from the pot in a single transaction
Withdraw
Your balance is designed to sit in the contract under your address, withdrawable by you alone — the withdraw path is deliberately not pausable Not yet open to the public
Your money
We never hold it
Most money games run a private ledger and ask you to trust the withdrawal button Gauntlet puts the pot in a contract with no admin key over your balance Every rule below is enforced by that contract rather than by our policy, so all six hold even if our servers are compromised
Withdrawing can't be switched off
Pausing the game stops new matches and new deposits It has no effect on withdrawals Nobody can trap your balance
A match can't overpay
Payouts are checked against the pot on every settlement A match can never pay out more than the players put in, minus the fee
A dead server can't keep your stake
If a match is never settled, every player reclaims their share of the pot from the contract once the timeout passes
Paid once, only if you played
Only wallets that actually staked into a match can be paid from it, and each one at most once Signatures can't be replayed
The house cut is capped in code
The fee is limited to 5% at the contract level It cannot be raised past that by anyone, including us
No upgrade switch
The contract isn't upgradeable What it does on day one is what it does forever Changing the rules means deploying a new one in the open
What the server decides
Who got the kill That is the whole of it The contract enforces everything above no matter what the server signs, so a stolen key could misattribute a bounty inside one match — it could not mint, drain, double-pay, or pay a stranger Full breakdown in the docs →
