No-loss battles
Principal-protected entry and how no-loss battles work
What are no-loss battles?
No-loss battles let eligible players enter selected battles without risking their principal. You deposit into a protected product (e.g. a principal-protected or yield-bearing pool). That deposit backs your battle entries: you get the same Chips, XP, and leaderboard as a paid entrant, but your principal is protected per our terms. Only yield or battle winnings are at risk; your deposit is returned at maturity (or per the product terms).
So "no-loss" is an entry method, not a different game: the battles themselves (game battles, prediction battles, sports battles) are the same. The difference is how you paid to enter—via a no-loss pass backed by your deposit instead of a one-off entry fee.
How it works
- Eligibility — In eligible seasons, a limited number of no-loss passes may be offered. Eligibility can depend on deposit amount, tier (e.g. Bronze / Silver / Gold), and availability (e.g. first 5,000 wallets).
- Deposit — You deposit a minimum amount (e.g. $125) into the designated product. Your principal is protected; it may be locked until maturity or per terms.
- Pass — You receive a no-loss pass for the season (or period). The pass grants entry to no-loss battles—same battles as paid entry, same games and leaderboard.
- Play — You enter those battles without paying an extra entry fee. You get starting Chips, play games, earn XP, and rank on the leaderboard like everyone else.
- Prizes — If you win, you earn your share of the prize pool. Your principal remains protected; only yield and/or winnings are subject to the product and prize rules.
Exact minimums, caps, and pass counts are set per season and published on the platform.
Why we need liquidity
No-loss battles only work when there is liquidity to back them. The platform uses deposits (and/or other liquidity) to fund battle entries and prize pools while protecting principal. Without sufficient liquidity, we cannot offer no-loss entries at scale. As we grow, we aim to support more no-loss access—including through features like delegation, where liquidity providers can let others play under their position and share in the upside.
Summary
- No-loss = entry method where your principal is protected; you compete on the same leaderboard as paid entrants.
- Liquidity is required for no-loss battles to exist; deposits and yield back the product.
- Eligibility and terms (min deposit, pass limits, maturity) are defined per season and in the official product terms.
For binding terms, principal protection, and eligibility, see the official terms and policies linked from the platform.
Disclaimer: no-loss is not risk-free
The no-loss model is designed so that your principal is protected under the product terms—we do not intend for you to lose your deposited amount from normal battle or yield mechanics. However, no-loss is not entirely risk-free. Risks can include (but are not limited to): smart contract risk (bugs, exploits, or failure of underlying contracts), protocol or counterparty risk, regulatory or legal change, and operational risk. Principal protection is subject to the terms of the specific product and to the integrity and performance of the systems and contracts involved. Do not deposit more than you can afford to lose, and read the full product and platform terms before participating.
