Both players stake the same amount of SOL into an on-chain escrow account on Solana. The winner takes ~95% of the pot — the remaining 5% is a house fee. Stakes are locked in escrow until the match resolves on-chain, so neither side can pull their SOL back mid-match.
Highest score wins. Scores are verified server-side — every brick break, paddle position, and frame is logged and checked, so cheating is caught before a match counts. As soon as both players have submitted a score, the winner is paid out automatically on-chain.
Yes, as long as no one has accepted it yet. Tap the X next to your challenge in My Challenges, sign the cancel in your wallet, and your SOL is refunded on-chain. Once someone has accepted, the challenge is locked in play and can't be cancelled.
Your SOL is automatically refunded to your wallet on-chain. You set the expiry when you post (6, 12, or 24 hours). The refund usually lands within an hour of expiry.
The match is on. Your opponent has the rest of the original challenge window to play — they can pause and come back. If they accepted close to expiry, they're still guaranteed at least 30 minutes regardless. The match resolves on-chain as soon as they submit a score.
After the original challenge window expires and at least 30 minutes have passed since they accepted, you win by default and the pot is paid out to you automatically. This protects you from someone accepting and then walking away.
