documentation

1. connect your wallet

connect your phantom or solana-compatible wallet to access the prediction markets. your wallet holds your sol and receives payouts directly.

2. choose your prediction

each round shows the current sol/usd price. predict whether the price will be higher (up) or lower (down) when the round locks.

3. enter your bet amount

enter the amount of sol you want to bet. your transaction is sent directly to the pool contract on solana—no intermediaries.

4. wait for settlement

when the round locks, the price is recorded. after the settlement period, the final price determines winners. if you predicted correctly, you receive your share of the pool.

round timeline

each round follows a 20-minute cycle:

• • 0-10 minutes: betting open (live round)
• • 10-20 minutes: betting locked (waiting for settlement)
• • 20 minutes: settlement (winners determined, payouts distributed)

lock price

when a round locks at the 10-minute mark, the current sol/usd price from pyth network is recorded as the "lock price." this is the reference point for determining winners.

settlement price

at the 20-minute mark, the final sol/usd price is recorded as the "settlement price." if the settlement price is higher than the lock price, "up" bettors win. if lower, "down" bettors win.

continuous rounds

rounds overlap so there's always an active round accepting bets. when one round locks, the next round is already live. this creates a 24/7 prediction market with no downtime.

pool distribution

all bets in a round are pooled together. after settlement, the losing side's pool is distributed proportionally to the winning side based on each winner's stake.

payout calculation

your payout is calculated as:

the 0.98 multiplier represents a 2% house edge that goes to the 3i/atlas treasury for platform sustainability and development.

payout odds

payout odds are displayed in real-time and update as more bets are placed. odds show how much you'll receive per 1 sol bet if you win. higher odds mean higher potential returns but indicate fewer people betting on that side.

instant settlement

payouts are automatically distributed to winners' wallets immediately after settlement. no claims, no waiting—your sol appears in your wallet as soon as the round settles.

no custodian

3i/atlas operates without a custodian. when you place a bet, your sol goes directly into the pool smart contract on solana. the platform cannot access, freeze, or control your funds—only the smart contract logic determines payouts.

transparent pools

all pool amounts are visible in real-time. you can see exactly how much sol is in the up pool and down pool before placing your bet. this transparency ensures fair odds and no hidden manipulation.

on-chain settlement

all transactions, bets, and settlements are recorded on the solana blockchain. this creates an immutable, verifiable record of every round and payout. anyone can audit the smart contract to verify fairness.

treasury model

the 2% house edge from each round goes to the 3i/atlas treasury. these funds support platform development, security audits, liquidity incentives, and future features. treasury allocation will be governed by $atlas token holders.

pyth network

3i/atlas uses pyth network for real-time sol/usd price data. pyth aggregates prices from multiple exchanges and market makers, providing high-frequency, low-latency price feeds directly on-chain.

price accuracy

pyth updates prices multiple times per second, ensuring lock prices and settlement prices reflect true market conditions. this prevents manipulation and ensures fair outcomes for all participants.

oracle security

pyth network is a decentralized oracle with over 90 first-party data providers. this distributed architecture makes price feeds resistant to manipulation and single points of failure.
