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.
Every week runs two tournaments side by side. Legends is for the Hall of Fame — the all-time Top 25 — and carries a guaranteed 0.20 SOL minimum pot. Weekly is for everyone else. Your tier is decided by whether your wallet has ever placed in the all-time Top 25, so you don't pick it and you can't enter both. Each board has its own prize pool, funded only by its own entrants, and its own top 3.
Each week, players pay 0.05 SOL to enter and post their best score on their tier's board. Each entry is one attempt — re-enter anytime, and only your best counts. Both boards resolve every Monday at 21:00 UTC, and the top 3 on each split that board's own prize pool, paid out automatically on-chain the moment the timer hits zero.
Each board has its own pot, funded only by the entries paid into that board — the two never mix. A 10% house rake is taken from the gross, and the remaining 90% is that board's net prize pool, split between its top 3: 1st place 50%, 2nd place 30%, 3rd place 20%. Legends additionally carries a guaranteed 0.20 SOL minimum net pot, topped up by the house if entries fall short; Weekly pays out exactly what its entrants put in.
Yes. Each attempt costs 0.05 SOL and adds to the prize pool. Only your best score across all attempts counts toward your leaderboard position. There's no cap on attempts.
The split adjusts to the size of that board's field. A single entrant takes the whole net pot; two entrants split it 62.5% / 37.5%; three or more use the standard 50/30/20. If nobody enters a board, it doesn't resolve that week.
No. The entry fee buys you the right to compete that week — whether or not you play. This is standard tournament practice. If you enter but don't post a score before the timer expires, your entry still contributes to the prize pool for others.
Yes. Every tournament win counts toward your SOL Legends ranking — a permanent global leaderboard that tracks lifetime wins and SOL earned across both PvP challenges and Weekly Tournaments. Top finishers are enshrined.
