DocsThe Round Lifecycle
What happens on-chain between betting opening and a round settling.
Every round moves through the same sequence of on-chain states.
Committed
A new round is opened. Its outcome is already cryptographically committed (see Provably Fair), but not yet knowable by anyone. Betting is open.
Betting closes
Once the betting window ends, no new bets are accepted for that round. The block in which betting closes is recorded: its hash becomes the round's public salt a moment later.
Salt locked
As soon as that block is final, the salt is locked in. From this instant, the crash point is mathematically determined, but still not revealed. The multiplier animation begins.
Playing → Crashed
The multiplier climbs in real time. Players cash out whenever they choose, until the round crashes at its predetermined point.
Finalized
The round's seed is revealed on-chain, every bet is settled (paid out, or lost), and the result becomes independently verifiable by anyone. See Provably Fair.
If something goes wrong
Rounds are designed to always resolve one way or another:
- If a round stalls and isn't finalized within 1 hour, active bets in it become refundable.
- If it's still stuck after 7 days, it can be force-cancelled and every active bet refunded in full.
You never lose a bet to a technical failure, only to an actual crash.
