HOW IT WORKS
DegensBet is a competitive trading arcade. Connect with X, get a deposit address, fund it, and battle other degens for cash and $DEGEN token prizes. Two arenas: PAPER (sandbox) and REAL (skin in the game).
1. CREATE AN ACCOUNT
Hit LAUNCH APP and sign in with X (Twitter). The platform auto-provisions a managed Solana deposit address linked to your profile. Your X handle becomes your public trader identity on the leaderboard.
2. TWO ACCOUNTS: PAPER & REAL
Every user gets two sub-accounts that operate independently:
- PAPER — starts with $10,000 fake USDC. Sandbox. Real live prices, simulated PnL. Practice and grind the paper leaderboard for prizes.
- REAL — starts at $0. Funded by your SOL deposits at live market rate. Real stakes, real payouts.
The top-bar toggle switches active context across the entire app: dashboard, trade view, history, leaderboard.
3. DEPOSITING
Open the WALLET tab to see your Solana deposit address. Send any amount of SOL on Solana mainnet — our chain watcher detects it and credits your REAL balance at the current SOL/USD rate (typically within 60 seconds).
4. TRADING
Long or short any supported pair (SOL, BTC, ETH, BONK, WIF, JUP, PEPE — more coming) at up to 1000x leverage. Pick your account, your size, your leverage, click BUY / LONG or SELL / SHORT. Close any time. Liquidation triggers when unrealized loss reaches your margin.
5. WITHDRAWING
Request a SOL withdrawal to any Solana address. The system distinguishes two portions:
- Instant auto-payout — up to the SOL amount you have personally deposited. Sent automatically by the treasury within seconds.
- Manual review (1–3 hours) — profits above your deposited amount. Reviewed and released by a human operator to protect against abuse.
Your withdrawal history shows both kinds and links the on-chain signature.
6. COMPETITIONS
Two flagship tournaments running continuously:
- PAPER ARCADE — entry: 0.25 SOL • prize pool: $10,000 + 30,000,000 DEGEN.
- REAL MONEY ARENA — entry: 2.5 SOL • prize pool: $100,000 + 70,000,000 DEGEN.
Ranking is by tournament PnL (your PnL accrued since joining). Entry fees fund the operating treasury and DEGEN incentives.
7. $DEGEN TOKEN
1,000,000,000 supply on Solana. Distribution:
- 50% Locked
- 7% Real-arena prize pool
- 3% Paper-arena prize pool
- 40% Public fair launch
Contract address: TBA — published in the token section on the homepage at launch, and pinned permanently in the bottom-right of every page once live.
8. RISK
Trading with leverage is risky. PnL is calculated on real market prices, but liquidity for execution is provided by the platform; you are entering a wager-style instrument against the house, not the open market. Do not deposit more than you are willing to lose. See Terms and Privacy.
