​
General

A decentralized horse racing protocol on Solana with provably fair randomness, pari-mutuel pooling, progressive jackpots, and a deflationary token economy. Races run every 2.5 minutes, 24/7.
Races are fully simulated on-chain game events — outcomes are determined by Switchboard VRF (verifiable randomness). No real horses, physical races, or external events are involved.
Yes. You need SOL for entries (minimum 0.01 SOL per entry) and for Solana transaction fees (~0.000005 SOL per transaction).
The protocol is permissionless and accessible globally. However, check your local regulations before participating.

​
Entries

Connect your Solana wallet, wait for entry phase (120 seconds), select a horse, enter amount, and approve transaction. See Quick Start.
Yes! You can submit separate entries on as many horses as you want in the same race. This is a valid strategy to increase win probability.
Minimum: 0.01 SOL. Maximum: 1000 SOL per entry (and large entries affect your own payout ratio in the pari-mutuel system).
Winnings are available to claim immediately after race resolves (usually 1-3 seconds). You need to claim them through the interface.

​
Randomness & Fairness

All race outcomes use Switchboard VRF (verifiable random function) with cryptographic proofs. Anyone can verify fairness on-chain. See Verifiable Randomness.
No. VRF is decentralized and cryptographically secure. The protocol cannot predict or influence race outcomes.
Each track has a fixed probability distribution, but a random shuffle (Fisher-Yates) assigns probabilities to horse positions. No predictable advantage.

​
Jackpots

Two progressive jackpots accumulate from every race:
  • Normal: 1/125 chance (~every 5.2 hours)
  • Super: 1/12500 chance (~every 21.7 days)
Only 1st place winners receive jackpot shares, and a trigger pays out only if the race passes the volume gate (a minimum-volume threshold based on the rolling daily median) — triggers in near-empty races are void and the pot keeps growing. See Jackpot System.
No — your entry is the ticket: even with zero staked HORSE you receive your entry-proportional base share. But staked HORSE multiplies it (share scales with entry × (1 + λ × staked HORSE)), and a typical staker earns an order of magnitude more per unit entered than a non-staker.
Blazing Hoof: 10% of staked HORSE burned. King’s Run: 50% burned (60% if both trigger in the same race). The rest stays staked.
All past jackpot triggers and winners are permanently recorded on-chain and viewable on any Solana explorer.

​
HORSE Tokens

Emission is volume-linked: each race mints E = min(c × volume, cap) and distributes it by entry share — below the cap, simply c × your entry. During bootstrap c = 0.5 HORSE per SOL (cap 25/race); c steps down to 0.2 at 50k SOL cumulative volume and to 0.1 at 1M SOL. See Tokenomics for the full schedule.
Jackpot distribution. Each winner’s share scales with entry × (1 + λ × staked HORSE), so staking more tokens multiplies your jackpot share — with no diminishing returns.
Tokens are first earned through play. The initial liquidity pool is seeded from the accumulated buyback reserve: once it reaches 500 SOL (at 50,000 SOL of cumulative entry volume), it is paired with the 500,000 HORSE premint to open the pool at a mechanical launch price of 0.001 SOL per HORSE. No founder capital or insider supply is involved. See Tokenomics for details.
Staked tokens are burned when you win jackpots (10% normal / 50% super), and a continuous 1% buyback-and-burn removes HORSE from the market. Otherwise your balance accumulates.

​
Strategy

Depends on goals:
  • Jackpot hunting: Back favorites consistently
  • ROI optimization: Find value entries (score > 1.5) on Synthwave Strip
  • Token accumulation: Consistent moderate play
  • See Track Types for details.
Not necessarily. Favorites attract heavy volume, reducing payout ratios. Sometimes 2nd or 3rd favorites offer better value.
  • Doubloon Downs: Low risk, predictable (favorites)
  • Synthwave Strip: High skill ceiling, value opportunities
  • Stampede Canyon/Crown Meadows: Balanced
Choose based on risk tolerance and strategy.

​
Technical

Any Solana wallet: Phantom, Solflare, Sollet, Ledger, etc.
Solana fees are ~0.000005 SOL per transaction (negligible). Protocol takes 5% of entry volume.
Smart contracts are fully verifiable on-chain. Source code will be published.

​
Troubleshooting

Common causes:
  • Entry submitted after entries closed (must be within 120s window)
  • Insufficient SOL balance
  • Network congestion
  • Rejected transaction in wallet
Check transaction on Solana explorer to diagnose.
Winnings must be claimed manually. Check:
  • Did your horse finish in top 3?
  • Have you clicked the “Claim” button in the interface?
  • Transaction confirmed on-chain?
If issue persists, contact support with race ID and transaction signature.
Tokens appear in your player account, not as SPL tokens in your wallet (currently). Check your profile page in the app.
