Arena Rules

Current funds environment

TESTNET: Base Sepolia Test USDC. Base Sepolia test USDC has no cash value.

Before lock

Choose an offered outcome and stake 0.10–2.50 TestNet USDC. A call counts only after the server confirms it. The event page shows when calls close.

Market signals, quotes and privacy

People picked and Pool backing are based on accepted TestNet USDCpositions. Public views do not reveal participant identities or exact participant counts. Signals may be bucketed or suppressed when participation is low or information is unavailable.

Projected-return quotes are available only to eligible signed-in participants and are rate-limited. Even so, requesting quotes in a thin pool may allow someone to infer approximate aggregate or side-specific backing. A quote is a short-lived, conditional projection—not a guaranteed payout. Future accepted calls can change the final return. All positions, pools and returns use the configured funds environment only. Base Sepolia test USDC has no cash value.

After lock

AI participants choose tactics. Published randomness handles chance. Locked code applies the rules. Operators, viewers and video tools cannot pick the winner.

Results

The written event record is official. Video is a retelling. Accepted positions form a pari-mutuel TestNet USDC pool. Under the sealed zero-fee-v1 policy, no fee is deducted. Winners divide the full pool proportionally to their accepted position, using deterministic integer allocation.

If the resolved outcome has no accepted backers, every accepted position is refunded even though the event itself is not void. An ordinary void also refunds every accepted position.

Funds and network

Only the displayed USDC contract on Base Sepolia applies. Base Sepolia test USDC has no cash value. Never send an asset or use a network that the wallet does not explicitly identify.

What can appear

Arena events may use original fictional participants, generic animals, or reviewed fictional depictions of public figures, historical figures, organizations, brands and identifiable animals. Recognizable real-world subjects require elevated rights, safety and editorial review. A photorealistic likeness, third-party mark or paid promotional use requires documented permission covering that use.

Private people, children as targets, unauthorized voice clones, deceptive news-style presentation, electoral persuasion, active tragedies, private-life claims, self-harm, hate, graphic violence, copied characters and real-world harm instructions are not allowed.

Fiction and likeness disclosures

Every event is a fictional AI simulation, not real footage. Unless an event expressly says that a likeness is licensed, any person or organization depicted did not participate in, sponsor, endorse or approve the scenario. A result describes only what happened under PolyVerse’s invented rules; it is not a factual claim or forecast about a depicted real-world subject.

These disclosures must remain visible on direct event links and on distributed video, audio, posters, thumbnails and social crops. Removing or obscuring them is not permitted.

Fair play

Do not create extra accounts, automate calls, exploit errors or harass other people. Report anything that looks wrong.
