Updates
What We Shipped
A plain record of the venue as it was built. Dating is month level, because that is the level we can support.
- September 202612
Consolidated To One Series
- The venue now runs a single five minute BTC round instead of three concurrent series.
- A parimutuel rewards concentrated liquidity, and thin pools give worse odds to everyone in them.
- The one minute and fifteen minute series stopped running. More durations return once depth supports them.
- September 202611
Security Hardening Pass
- Revoked raw table access for player and waitlist records and moved every read behind a checked path.
- Pinned the search path on database functions and tightened row level policies on positions.
- No anonymous write access remains anywhere in the venue.
- August 202610
Public Read Only API And Docs
- Published read only endpoints for the current round, recent rounds, the leaderboard and venue stats.
- Added a documentation page with request and response shapes for each endpoint.
- The API exposes venue state only. It accepts no writes.
- August 202609
Venue Stats Page
- Added a public page for rounds settled, pool sizes and participation, read from the same source the venue settles against.
- Every simulated figure carries a demo label so nothing reads as production volume.
- August 202608
Points Venue And Leaderboard
- Moved round state and settlement to the server so the outcome no longer depends on the browser.
- Added free points balances, a public leaderboard and per wallet position history.
- Points have no cash value and cannot be withdrawn or exchanged.
- July 202607
Wallet Login By Signature
- Added wallet discovery and login by cryptographic signature, with no password and no custody of keys.
- Sessions restore silently on return visits.
- July 202606
Real Exchange Candles On The Chart
- Replaced generated chart history with recent Bitcoin candles pulled from public exchange endpoints.
- Added a line and candle toggle and matched the chart window to the round series length.
- June 202605
Three Concurrent Durations
- Split the venue into three concurrent series: one minute, five minutes and fifteen minutes.
- Each series runs its own pools, its own cadence and its own settlement, with five minutes as the default.
- June 202604
Removed The Early Staking Bonus
- Removed the weighting that paid early stakes more than late stakes.
- It rewarded timing rather than judgement and made payouts harder to verify by hand.
- Payouts are now plain pro rata: stake, plus a share of the losing pool in proportion to stake, after the published rake.
- May 202603
Five Source Median And A Published Void Rule
- Settlement reads the median of five exchange direct sources: Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, Bitstamp and OKX.
- At least two must respond and agree inside the published tolerance, or the round voids with full refunds and zero rake.
- May 202602
Overlapping Rounds And Strike At Lock
- Rounds now overlap, so one round runs live against its strike while the next is already taking stakes.
- The strike is read at the moment staking closes, so nobody stakes with the strike in hand.
- April 202601
Terminal Rebuild
- Rebuilt the round page as a trading terminal with a real chart, live odds on the stake buttons and a depth ladder.
- Added the activity feed, pool composition, session stats, a running ledger and keyboard shortcuts.
The venue runs on free points today. Points have no cash value.
