How It Works
A new pool is created every hour
Each pool has a fixed start and end time aligned to the clock hour.
Enter upcoming pools early
Users can enter upcoming pools before they begin — earning a higher time bonus for early entry.
Pool closes at the hour
At the cutoff time, the pool closes and no further entries or updates are accepted.
Final price is sourced from oracle
The Bitcoin price is fetched from a reliable oracle at the exact cutoff time.
Structure
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Pool frequency | Every hour |
| Entry window | Open from previous settlement until pool close |
| Price source | Pyth Oracle at exact cutoff time |
| Settlement | Automatic after outcome is submitted |
This structure creates a continuous prediction environment with no downtime between markets. As one pool settles, the next is already open for entry.
