The Rulebook
Official competition rules for Crypto Kombat tournaments. Read them. Know them. There are no exceptions.
General Rules
Whitelisted Wallets Only
Only wallets that have completed a profile and been approved can trade. No outside wallets can buy or sell the round token. No exceptions.
Devs and Team Cannot Compete
Founders and all team members are permanently banned from participating in any tournament. Their wallets are flagged in the contract at deployment.
One Wallet Per Player
Each profile is linked to a single wallet address. Using multiple wallets to gain an advantage is an immediate disqualification.
No Automated Trading
Bots and automated trading are blocked at the contract level: trades made through another program (atomic/flash/bundled calls) are rejected on-chain, and a per-wallet cooldown stops high-frequency spam. Any wallet caught circumventing this is disqualified immediately. No refunds. No appeals.
Trading Hours Are Enforced On-Chain
Trading is only possible Saturday 9am–9pm and Sunday 9am–8pm. The smart contract enforces this. No trades can execute outside these windows.
Hell Hour Is Mandatory
Sunday 8–9pm. You must exit all positions. The contract checks your balance at the end of Hell Hour. Anything left is liquidated. No appeals.
Disqualification
The following result in immediate disqualification. DQ'd players receive 0 KC, 0 prizes, and no refunds. Admin can DQ at any time during or after the tournament.
- ✗Bot or automated trading detected
- ✗Multiple wallet usage by one player
- ✗Exploit or manipulation of the smart contract
- ✗Collusion with other players to manipulate the leaderboard
- ✗Abusive behavior in community channels (at admin discretion)
How the Prize Pool is Funded
There is no entry fee. The prize pool accumulates entirely from trading activity. A portion of every buy and sell funds the prize pool and platform operations — 0.75% platform rake + 4% prize tax per side (9.5% round-trip). Buys close at Hell Hour; the prize tax then drops to 0 so you can exit cleanly.
Platform funds are held in a Squads multisig wallet — verifiable on-chain. No single person can withdraw them.
Fair-Trading Guards
A fair fight is enforced by the contract, not promised in a FAQ. Every buy and sell passes the same on-chain checks — no bots, no front-running, no whale snipes.
No bots (no-CPI)
Every trade must be a top-level instruction. Atomic, flash-loaned and bundled calls from other programs are rejected on-chain — this kills automated and MEV trading at the contract level.
Trade cooldown
A minimum number of slots (~2 seconds) must pass between a wallet's trades. Sniping and high-frequency spam are impossible by construction.
Flat per-trade size limits
Each round sets a min and max trade size, so no single wallet can dominate the curve in one shot. The max size comes off during Hell Hour so everyone can exit.
Bankroll brackets
Players compete in arenas matched to their stake — minnows aren't farmed by sharks. The bonding curve is seeded automatically each round; everyone starts on the same price.
Prices are computed on-chain from a constant-product curve — your fills and your P/L are real, not self-reported.

Championship Bracket Rule
At the Battle of Champions (TOURN) and War of the Gods (WOTG), all 200 player slots are open. Anyone can trade and compete for prize money.
However, the championship title (Golden God of the Month, Father of the Gods) is only contested among the invited champions in a separate Championship Bracket. A non-champion finishing #1 overall wins the prize money — but not the title. The title goes to the highest-ranked champion in the championship bracket.
Both brackets are shown live on the KAD dashboard during championship events.
