HOW THE SIEGE IS WON
Two memecoins. One timer. The side with more real buying pressure takes the pot. Here is exactly how it works — no house, no hidden edge, every rule on-chain.
Every war pits two tokens against each other on a timer. Stake SOL behind the one you believe will draw the most buying. Your stake locks into on-chain escrow the moment you sign.
A side's strength is its net buy pressure — real money flowing into that token while the war runs. Bring your army: every buy on your token lifts your side; every sell drags it down.
When the timer hits zero, the side with the higher net buy wins. The whole pot — minus a small rake — splits among the winners in proportion to what each staked. Claim straight from escrow.
NET BUY PRESSURE — NOT PRICE, NOT LUCK
From the second a war starts, SIEGE watches the public on-chain trade tape for both tokens. Each side's score is its net buy — the total USD bought minus the total USD sold on that token, counted only within the war's window.
It's flow, not price. A token can be down on the day and still win its war if more money is flowing in than out. That's what makes it a contest of conviction and crowd-building, not chart-reading.
The figure is sourced from public market data and is the same number you see moving on every live battle bar.
ONE POT. WINNERS SPLIT IT.
SIEGE is parimutuel: every stake on both sides forms a single pot. At settlement a small rake is taken, and the rest is divided among the winning side in proportion to each winner's stake. Numbers below are live from the contract.
A hypothetical war — the SOL amounts are an illustration; the 3% rake is live.
- Total pot (both sides)
- 10.00
- Rake (3%)
- − 0.30
- Pot paid to winners
- 9.70
- Your stake on the winning side
- 1.00
- Winning side, total staked
- 4.00
- You claim
- 2.425
Payout = pot-after-rake × (your stake ÷ winning side total). Win big when your side is right and lightly staked — the fewer who split it, the larger each cut.
SIEGE never holds your keys or your SOL. Your stake sits in a program-controlled escrow vault from the moment you sign until you claim.
Staking, buying, claiming — each is a transaction you approve in your own wallet. There is nothing to deposit and no account to fund.
Winners claim from escrow; losers and cancelled wars recover their rent. If the settler goes dark, anyone can refund a war 24h after it ends.
YOUR RANK NEVER DIES
Every war you fight updates your General — rating, record, streak and lifetime PnL. Climb the ladder, build a reputation, and let your wins follow you across every future siege.

Wars roll up into seasons, each with a Championship Pool that grows as battles are fought. Finish a season on top of the standings and take a cut of the pool on top of every pot you won along the way.

It's a skill contest, not a coin flip. You're predicting which token will attract more real buying pressure over the war window — readable, on-chain, and driven by the crowd you can rally. There's no house edge on the outcome and no random number deciding it.
Where are my funds held?+
In the program escrow on Solana — a vault account controlled only by the on-chain program, never by SIEGE. You sign every transaction yourself. Winners claim directly from the vault; SIEGE can never move, freeze, or borrow your stake.
What happens if a war is cancelled?+
Every staker gets their full stake back — you simply claim it instead of a payout, and your rent is returned when the position closes. If the settler ever goes offline, anyone can permissionlessly refund a war 24 hours after it ends, so funds are never trapped.
What does it cost?+
A small rake is taken from the pot only at settlement (shown live in the economics above), plus a one-time declaration fee to start a war. Losing a war costs only your stake — there are no hidden fees, no subscriptions, no spread.
What do I need to play?+
A Solana wallet and some SOL. Connect, pick a war, choose a side, and sign. Everything else — settlement, payouts, your General rating — happens automatically.
Can I get my war the top spot (sponsored / trending)?+
Yes — open any live war you care about and tap Sponsor. For 5 SOL or more (paid on-chain) your war is pinned to the top of the arena and the homepage with a FEATURED badge, for a time window. Pay more to outrank other sponsored wars. It is the fastest way to put a token in front of the whole crowd.
